Never meet your heroes. Please tell me Fury is okay at least.

ASSUMING CONTROL

DIRECT INTERVENTION IS NECESSARY

Never too late.

Everyone loved the powder pink lizard queen.

OHMMM

Bikes are already banned from sidewalks though.

They could be using solar and wind.

Not to worry, discrete GPUs will likely go away completely within a few generations.

I’ve become a Canadian citizen fairly recently, and the first time I have ever encountered anything related to the King since the past eight years I’ve been living here was during the Citizenship Oath. Which was a fun little ceremony.

You don’t even have to become a citizen to live in Toronto. Instead I’d just simply not live in Toronto because it’s a shit place, not because of some irrelevancy.

So don’t let Charles hold you back!

Never get there if we don’t start!

It probably affects wanderer.earth.

Time to get off lemmy. Go for a run/jog/walk in the cold to the nearest stationery store and buy some pen and paper. Then get home and get to writing.

You can do it!

I don’t understand this line of thought. As in you are childless by choice BECAUSE of what is going on in the US?

No, it was rather easy. I was only eleven years old though. The consciousness of it and the method to squelch it at first, without saying it out loud, helped a lot. The therapist really only highlighted it once for me. But it didn’t help that to get to this point I got traumatized by a whole class of vicious fifth graders laughing at me while I was reciting something in front of the class. 🙄

All good. Looks like my comment got axed for some reason, even though I’ve intended it as a positive critique.

I’ve noticed that people like using “I mean” as a filler or figure of speech. But when you keep seeing it over and over again, especially multiple times in a single comment, or in a comment chain, it’s really noticable.

I used to say “uhm” out loud a lot while forming sentences. It’s a placeholder to give your mind a pause to catch up what you are trying to say. A speech therapist highlighted this to me and got me to slowly phase it out by first squelching it and just internalizing the “uhm”, then completely getting rid of it and rely on silent pauses instead. It helped me realize these speechpatterns, doesn’t matter whether they are used as a run on or a pause. And “I mean” really caught on the past few years as a faux intellectual discourse marker, so it’s extra noticable for me.

Looks like there’s some more about its usage here:

How do you get past the great firewall to post here?

I do. Then the water tank runs out of hot water.

I thought it was funny.

Ocean City is the new Atlantic City anyway.
