True, I did think of Long, although the etymology of that one isn’t always clear. For Irish people apparently “Long” is derived from the Gaelic word for seafarer.

Funny timing I just saw a trailer for Wildwood and it looks SICK

Yeah I did think of Armstrong, although that’s not quite rhe same thing. Still a pretty sweet last name though I feel like you kinda have to be some kind of craftsman with a name like that.

It freaked me out pretty bad the first few times it happened but I’ve gotten used to it haha

I might be willing to support this project as long as he hates sand people even more than in the prequels

Yeah something kind of similar happens to me occasionally, usually when I am trying to fall back asleep in the early morning. It’s very… violent. It happens just as I’m falling asleep, I call it “passing through”. My eyes are closed but I will see bright flashing lights behind them, I have the sensation of falling, and I will hear a really loud sound like a train horn or sometimes screaming. And I get pins and needles across my whole body.

The cool thing is if I succeed in not freaking out and waking back up I always enter a lucid dream on “the other side” although it usually only lasts for a minute or two.

Yeah that’s not really the same thing as enshittification imo. That’s just classic supply/ demand disruption in a product that is difficult to scale up production on. It usually balances back out in the end.

It’s just a flag you can add to your search urls that returns a regular web search. There are firefox extensions that do it for you just search for udm14

It’s all real if thats what you’re asking

Yeah i remember reading how, when telling/making up stories chat gpt loves to say that characters “smirked” which is a very fanfiction/online erotica thing.

Also cool - the Spanish word for jeans is vaquero. So the English word for vaccine and the spanish word for blue jeans are both derived from the Latin word for “cow”. I always thought that was neat.

It’s … Really a pretty reasonable requirement. Yes, voter fraud is very rare etc etc but I think it matters psychologically. It’s kinda like how a lot of the airline safety talk is there to reassure the passengers. If voters have to get their ids checked to vote it might instill some more confidence in the system.

Yeah we can just call it GIMP for short

I thought it was just that he didn’t need a significant other because he was so close with his friend haha

Honestly I wouldn’t sweat it. It’s more something that seems gross than is actually going to make you sick. Pretty much ANY high traffic surface in public is gonna have way more pathogens on it than something in your house. And breathing the same air as your roommate is more likely to get you sick than touching something that they’ve touched. Still kinda gross though.

Yep, I’ve always thought that. It’s actually very sneaky of health officials, they are exploiting people’s perception of how filthy going to the bathroom is to get them to wash their hands more. Ends justify the means I guess…

Delicious! Finally, some good fucking content.

Should have just used bleach if they don’t care about it actually being a viable treatment. Or, for that matter, we’ve already invented spermicidal foam…

I was a donor to that project, and right now I think there are still concerns about the long-term reversibility. The project isn’t dead but I doubt we will see it as a readily available option for the public within the next decade, if ever.

Nothing wrong with that ofc, but are you sure you are straight? Sounds like bi or pan to me idk.
