I find it disturbing that people can’t seem to be in a room without a TV on, even if they’re scrolling on facebook. People probably think I avoid them when I’m really just avoiding TV.

Best you can do is be funner and sexier than anyone else your partner might be around. Never understood why that’s so hard for some people.
A lot of people are happy enough inside their comfort zone, they’re likely to die there. The people that say they haven’t made good music since the XX’s probably haven’t spent much time searching for music they’d like.

Reminds me of the old “Would you rather have sex with a man with a vagina, or a beautiful woman with a penis?” Would be a heck of a threesome.
I’m still rooted but I’m on android 7 and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one with access. Lol If only I had more money that access would probably be worth more than just amusement.
I got it! We’re within a simulation of the innards of a black hole. And that is the first time I’ve used the word “innards”. Lol
Wait… Are we simulating black holes yet?
It’s just black holes all the way down.
Aren’t they the cutest nightmares you’ve ever seen?
I’ll never forget walking through my grandfathers yard and noticing that with every step I took, I’d see a few dart away from me. Only saw them when they were crossing the tops of flat clove leaves in the grass. Wouldn’t have known they were there, otherwise. They were everywhere, out there. Every square foot of grass. Was curious enough to find out what they were and much to my relief, mostly harmless. Still, tresspassers caught inside, get the death penalty.
I’ve crawled under nearly a thousand houses since then and never got bit, despite undoubtedly being covered by different kinds. Still panic if I catch em on me, but I know I don’t have much to worry about here in the PNW. The coast and valley are pretty safe. Rattlers and widows are more common east of the valley.

diptchip@lemmy.worldto World News@quokk.au•American teen pilot detained on small island in Antarctica5·30 days ago"An American teenager has been detained on an Antarctic island, creating a major delay in his attempt to fly his small plane to every continent that is being followed online by more than a million people.
Chilean authorities stopped Ethan Guo, 19, after he submitted a false flight plan, according to the BBC’s US partner CBS News.
His deviation from that plan in the air had “activated alert protocols”, Chile’s General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics said in a statement.
Mr Guo was taken into custody after landing on King George Island, home to a number of international research stations and their staffs, where July temperatures typically stay well below freezing.
Mr Guo’s small Cessna 182 aircraft took off from the city of Punta Arenas, near the southernmost point of Chile, and flew to the island off the Atlantic coast, which is claimed by Chile. It is named after England’s King George III.
He was detained at Teniente R. Marsh airport.
Mr Guo had allegedly submitted a plan to fly over Punta Arenas, but not beyond that, according to regional prosecutor Cristian Cristoso Rifo, as cited by CBS.
He has been charged for violating two articles of the country’s aeronautical code, including one that could lead to short-term imprisonment.
In the statement, Chile’s General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics said Mr Guo had also allegedly violated the Antarctic Treaty, which regulates international relations with respect to the uninhabited continent.
Mr Guo posted an update on X on Wednesday, saying: “I’m alive everyone, I’ll make an update soon.”
Ethan Guo has flown his Cessna aircraft to all the other six continents in his journey spanning more than 140 days, according to his social media feed.
He is hoping to become the first pilot to complete solo flights across all seven continents in the Cessna aircraft, and simultaneously aims to raise $1m (£ 731,000) for cancer research at the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital."

Seems people are being replaced by cats and TV. I cant help but wonder if people were better off without them if it made people more likely to improve their social skills.
