I think the first hit caused her a serious shock that she didn’t properly recover from before trying to flee her embarrassment, possibly also a broken nose or other injury.

I did that almost a year ago because I delayed upgrading my iphone to the new version for like 2 years (I hate being on iphone), but then there was a major exploit for which the only fix on new enough devices was upgrading, so I ended up with 2 years worth of changes all at once, and among all the other user-hostile changes, suddenly autocorrect was entirely unusable and every single message was wrong multiple times. You aren’t imagining it, and it definitely isn’t you, autocorrect is absolutely that bad these days.

Once it’s gone, you’ll have this weird transitional period where you consider turning it back on because I no longer gets capitalized without intentional effort, and all sorts of other mildly annoying things.

Don’t go back; once you get used to the new flow, you’ll find yourself so much happier at not having your message changed without consent. Those red spellcheck squiggles suddenly have value again, but fyi, they probably won’t actually show up most of the time without tapping around different places in your message to force it out of sentence mode or whatever it is that suppresses them.

True, however even global numbers put O ahead of the other major ones, from what I’ve been able to find.

The numbers differ but all sources that discuss global numbers that I could find agreed that O is the most prevelant, at between 32-43% https://biologyinsights.com/what-is-the-most-common-blood-type-and-why-it-matters/

I am very much open to correction on this if you have a citation, though! Its not that easy to actually find that statistic, as most things are broken down by country :)

I’ll go with you. I’ve always wanted to be shot in a craft perpendicular to the plane of orbit, since we haven’t really launched anything that direction. In a few hundred thousand years, the craft might be getting far enough to get an image of the milky way from above, which would be pretty neat even if I’m long dead. I’d probably be the farthest human from a star ever, for another million years or more until intergalactic travel happens (if it even can).

But I’d take mars at this point, too.

Rabbi is a jewish religious leader and the usual continuation to that sequence (priest, minister, rabbi walk into a bar, etc.)

Rabbit, then, is like an autocorrect or typo.

Blood types are most commonly a, ab, b, and by far the most common blood type is type-o, so its a subversion of a normal joke coupled with some cute wordplay.

I think it’s the ‘joining the military under the current admin’ bit? Implied support sort of thing, since these days its a REAL choice to join up, with everything the US is presently involved with.

I think it’s punching down at people in poverty who have been forced to choose between bad outcomes by shitty people, myself, but lots of people around here will take any opportunity to bash US military members regardless of how the structure of society makes that one of very few options for certain groups of people.

Having read it, it looks like the only reason he joined was to potentially protect her and get healthcare, and it also looks like he was encouraged to do so as entrapment. She was already being watched ahead of that, from the sound of it.

What’s different about Perez’s case is that U.S. military personnel appeared to be working with ICE to identify a potential target and use a long-standing military-recruitment tool—the promise of legal status for loved ones—to facilitate an arrest.

The one kitchen slip that can’t be prevented with no-slip kitchen shoes!

On a side note, those shoes are amazing and totally worth the spend. All the extra slits in the tread make even oily floors navigable.

I’ve been on the internet long enough to know not to rule out any ….uses… for anything.

I did mean eating, carving, and using for crafts/decoration, though. For stuff like that, they aren’t much good. You can make some of them into very temporary boats, though. That’s also human stuff, but they aren’t very good boats, either :)

Genuinely wish my doc had been cool enough for jokes like that.

I made them, ofc, but its not the same.

Thought it was funny until I realized its just bad slop. :(

Those lights at the far end of the hallway should be lighting up the walls and floor under them, but aren’t. Plus the spacing on them, and the lighting closer to the viewer, make no sense.

Same, love the melancholic feel of the whole thing.

If memory serves they either go home with the entrant, or get donated to be used as animal feed. They arent very good pumpkins for, like, human pumpkin stuff. You could carve them I guess, but they aren’t good eating pumpkins.

I had teachers like that. I was reading well beyond my grade level (I read the third pandemic and sphere in 5th grade, both roughly college-level, I just had a dictionary with me).

Fifth grade teacher said I couldn’t understand them, they were beyond my level. I mouthed off to her and told her they might be beyond her level, but not mine. I got detention.

I told my mom what happened, who then went in and laid into that teacher. She bought me the books for my birthday, and gave me the dictionary so I could understand them, because teen and young adult stuff was no longer long enough, I’d burn through the books in a few hours, tops. Big complicated books were the only thing that kept me occupied. She was not willing to allow some rando to fuck that up. Needless to say that teacher never said shit to me about it again.

Did have that detention. I brought my book and didn’t even care about being sat there for an hour. So that backfired.

I hope your daughter gets that love back sooner or later, maybe just need a cooling down period. For me it never faded, I just lost all reapect for that teacher because even then I knew it was stupid to judge someone for doing something they enjoyed.

I’d be tempted to say “miramira on the wall” but idk if that’s how its pronounced

I’m sorry if it came across as shutting down the conversation, that wasn’t intentional, just the only reply that seemed fitting.

FWIW, I’m pretty sure this image comes from an animated short by Disney some time in the last 10 years, but I can’t place which one it is (I have watched so so much animated stuff). But if that’s the case, this is a still frame from a larger work in which ambiguity didn’t exist in the first place. Another three frames and what you want could have been what’s on screen, just not what was grabbed for this.

Well, when you make your art you can do it that way, instead :)

The shadow shows them young and dancing, probably meant to represent “in sickness and in health”
