Like waaaaaaaay before this.
But, $$$$$$$, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Obviously, yes. And further on weekends. Why is this controversial, tho?
I don’t re-clean my already clean kitchen when I’m not using it. It tends to stay clean til next time?
I obviously do that. Just not many times a day, since I only use my kitchen once a day. Cuz I’m busy working. Are you home for 3 meals a day? That’s nice for you .
Thanks, superman. My kitchen is clean. But I do t scour it every few hours. What sort of standard is that?
I’m still amazed by your suggestion w e should get home from a long day and deep clean everything. What kind of life is that?
Clean to our satisfaction, not whatever weird standard you are trying to project. Not sure how we got on this topic, but damn. Your standard sounds way too high. I’m glad you have no other issues, but others do.
‘Hopefully, you clean your counters more than once a day’ quote. What? Do you actually clean all your surfaces more than once a day? Like, yeah, that would be ideal, but anyone writing this had never had to live in real life. We have actual jobs and limited time.
Sure, that would be ideal, but this cannot be serious? No way this is even remotely plausible, what the fuck.
Some of us barely have time to just live and clean some things, nevermind this being standard in any way, damn.
I don’t get this meme. It’s just a pic of paper towels. Are the paper towels named Steve, or…?
Your solution is in your statement:
more likely a product of constantly being high
Er, my solution is.
Oh my gosh, thank you!
Fuck feeding times.
Fuck working instead of petting me.
Worship me as a god, like your ancestors did., peasant.
True. From what i gather, though, it was much more than the general concept. A lot of specifics were the same, which was why that author sued in the first place.
If it makes you feel any better (and sorry if it does the opposite), she sort of plagiarised from earlier series including The Worst Witch and The Adventures of Willy the Wizard. Kinda all of it, including the premise (magical vs ‘normal’ kids called to a magical school, houses, many of the spells and plots, etc. so much so that the latter sued her over it (that author lost, because it wasn’t a word-for-word lift).
If you like the genre, I’d recommend reading those series instead now.
Had a conversation with my dad recently, and I was floored when he was surprised that I think Musk is a literal moron. My dad is an aviation engineer, and genuinely brilliant, so I thought he’d see through the bullshit, too, but he hasn’t.
I explained that not only have I seen all the places Musk has been bullshitting people in fields I have a lot of knowledge in, but professionals in other fields do, too. When he says shit in your field, it’s totally obvious he’s a moron, and I’m nowhere near the first to say that. I guess my dad has never heard him talk about aeronautics.
Musk is a walking, talking Dunning-Kruger effect with a huge trust fund and the best example of failing upwards. That is all.



We managed to dial things back a bit, so that became a smaller problem.
We used to see regular news reports of actual rivers on fire. Things are still way too bad, but we forcefully throttled some things as we saw how quickly the damage was compounding.
Women’s hair doesn’t defy gravity without lots of help.


My 18 month old son was having respiratory and stomach symptoms that seemed worse than a standard cold to me, but his doctors said not to worry, all kids have a bad cold sometimes. Even after apples came out exactly as they went in, points and all, and the top of his head had become sunken.
I insisted on taking him to hospital despite being told I was overreacting, and they admitted him immediately without even asking our name. His blood was thick like pudding, and it took a while before they could even do tests, because they couldn’t take blood.
It was rotavirus, and he was in intensive care for 2 weeks.
It was one of the few times I’d decided I wasn’t listening to people telling me to be quiet, and I’m so glad I did. That was like 30 years ago.
Dammit dad, go to bed.
I mean, I’ve seen this a lot. It’s climate change. Probably because I’m kinda close to it?
Hard to miss here, honestly.
