I keep repeating that in my head over and over again.
This is Adam (the fox) with his friend Tony (the wolf) when they were younger, back when life was stress-free for the two of them. They both went to a place called "Sixteen Mile Creek". It was a long hike to get there, requiring them to walk open fields with green hills visible in the distance. As they walked through the fields, they passed by a few electric pylons, something Adam had never been so close to in-person until that day.
Eventually, they reached a wooded area at the opposite end of the field from where they had started. They spent nearly the entire day there, having fun and not worrying about anything. However, when Adam returned home, his parents were extremely upset with him for being gone so long without telling them. Despite the scolding, the experience remained a nice memory for Adam.
Adulthood reached us, and we are surviving it in our own way, leading with our anxiety and daily stress. It's healthy to escape a little bit from what we think is our reality, and see the real world. Why not to keep sharing those cheering memories, even now, and go to walk to places like this with a friend, to the point that there is nothing else more to talk about and you just enjoy that moment with them, and to see that all the stress and anxieties are things that only live in our heads, they are not real. The cold wind in our face is real.
Time is insignificant and we must accept it. Spending time with our friends doing nothing is not wasting time, it is enjoying our life.
Digital. Procreate.

Does AI entice people to buy?
No. No it does not. People are less likely to buy things when AI is a part of the product description.
Companies may unintentionally hurt their sales by including the words “artificial intelligence” when describing their offerings that use the technology, according to a study led by WSU researchers.WSU Insider
children should be allowed to play. this includes playing with identity. this includes playing with gender identity. the adults are only to oversee that this play remains safe and doesn't do lasting damage (hey that's what puberty blockers do!! hmm) and leave the rest of this up to the children. this is part of them developing their own sense of self.
anyone who wants to deny children the ability to play and develop senses of self through play /as they have done since humans been having kids/ is absolutely a fuckin Weirdo

Happy National Spider-Man Day to all who observe.
I'm not sure which nation it's "national" to. Probably the USA — most things that are national to an unspecified nation turn out to be American things, because most others tend to specify.
Options when it's too cold:
- Put on jacket
- Cuddle under blanket
- Turn on heating

That is genius!
Update:
LOL, someone reported me to, err, me... The first report I have ever had!
Seems I have to clarify.
All junk calls I get, are either not legal under PECR, or actually fraudulent. I am assuming this is the nature of this call. If not, then not so funny.
I have zero sympathy for someone that works for criminals. Arguing that the only job you can get is working for criminals does not justify it. Sorry. But that is my free speech opinion.
So I won't be suspending myself.
Signs you have carpenter ants
1. keep finding tiny tools
2. city sends a very tiny permit to affix to baseboard
3. try to move a book and are told “keep this entrance clear, ma’am” because of the “cement delivery coming later”
4. Your dish rack is dismantled “because it’ll be cheaper to rebuild from scratch”
5. no room on the dresser due to like 85 tiny pickups illegally parked there
6. husband keeps hearing high pitched wolf whistles when exiting shower

Stop giving links on websites the text "here".
You can find something here.
is making it really hard for anyone with a screen reader to go back and "click" the link afterwards.
Your link should have a text like:
You can also have a look at the accessibility guidelines for websites if you want more information.
Bam, suddenly everyone knows exactly what that link is, and if someone with a screenreader gets the link names read out they also know exactly what this link will be without having to let it read the entire sentence again.

"Keeping VLC free and without ads is a no-brainer. I know people focus a lot on that part but, for me, it’s just the way it should be and it’s not difficult for me to keep it like that... Sure, more money would be fun, but most of the people I know who have more money are annoying." -- Jean-Baptiste Kempf

i hate how home consoles now are just "pc with fucked up freebsd/windows".
they should make another console that has 7 cores of an architecture you've never heard of
games should run at kernel level and have to include their own scheduler. don't worry, you can have 3 cores of 3 different architectures to manage filesystem access and such.
As a Brit I don’t find ‘weird’ that bigger insult, it feels a little tame given I tend to like a lot of people who self confess to being weird.
Don’t see so many folks describing themselves as ‘creepy’ though…
Apart from a Thom Yorke from Radiohead who said both:
‘But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here’
Which if #Trump had Yorke’s self awareness would mean he would acknowledge he didn’t belong in the White House…yeah, right?

It comes with a micro sd card that contains a file converting application and WiFi remote software. Haven't tried the remote yet, but to upload pictures you just upload a file, run a converter, it then produces a file you drop in the root of the SD card, and it displays.
Just four companies in the U.S. control:
85% of beef processing
80% of corn seed distribution
77% of fertilizer production
69% of grocery sales
Wondering why food prices are so high?
Minimal competition means maximized price-gouging.
