Don't have pets,but the house plants are all slowly dying. We keep buying more and bringing them home thinking this time it will be different. Maybe one day we'll manage to keep them alive.

Kinda like the monarchy in Canada.

Thank you all for coming to this TED talk on biological determinism.

The regular socks are now made of recycled toilet paper and provide no such warming.

You have to get the premium socks for warmth. Any elasticity you want is an extra monthly subscription on top of that.

There's de-googling and privacy and all....thats all great. But it is a completely separate thing to take back attention from distractions, bullshit notifications and letting tech overlords reach into our daily lives and disrupting our focus and attention whenever they feel like it. Notification real estate is hugely valuable and the default for every app should be "off", with further fine tuning as needed. Better bulk settings are needed for notification settings adjustment.

Technology Connections has done a brilliant video about notifications recently.

Sent you a PM. Let's meet up.....to discuss this further....

High precision, low accuracy.

The unfortunate truth is that most people are gross as hell. A huge number of people don't wash after peeing. Ive come across some who don't even wash after poop (confronted a person once and they said that they only touch toilet paper so it's not like their hands are contaminated). Once you're in common spaces, you will obviously have to touch the same things as these people. There have been swab and culture studies that show fecal bacteria on a lot of touch surfaces. There will even be fecal bacteria on your toothbrush from being in a toilet with aerosol toilet water with every flush. It is gross, but our immune systems handle this environmental contamination really well without OCD cleaning habits needed.

Some points for others:

1. You might think your genitals are "clean" but you wouldn't want to touch any random person's clean genitals. Your hands are going to touch common surfaces. Wash them as courtesy (the same courtesy you would want from others).

2. Washing isn't about bacteria contamination. Pee has no bacteria on it but it would still be gross to be splashed by it. Hygiene gets rid of gross/ick things and it's worth washing what you would expect others to wash.

3. There's huge personal world-view at play here for each individual. Many wouldn't put up with the inconvenience of wearing masks to protect others from COVID at inconvenience to themselves. Unfortunately this mindset extends to things like hygiene for a lot of people. Please consider the world you live in and some inconveniences (like washing hands repeatedly) are for the sake of your fellow humans.

4. Same goes for things like picking your nose or jerking off......people, please.

What I don't get is, why is everyone struggling to make friends as an adult? There's a loneliness epidemic. People are more isolated than ever and they're feeling it and say they want to make friends. People online constantly say it is difficult to make friends. Yet when I meet people IRL, no one wants to make friends at all and the struggle is real. IRL no one responds to messages, no one comes to meet ups, no one accepts invitations. It seems the masses out there are not trying to make friends and are actively turning down opportunities.....to then go home and be miserable and complain and be lonely. Is there an app or something? Tinder for friends? OnlyFriends.com could be the next thing in this tech dystopia...pay a monthly subscription to have another guy send buddy texts and memes. Relationships and parasocial relationships are comodified. Might as well do the same with friendship since people aren't giving this shit away for free anymore.

If she can't take pizza toppings seriously then that is not a relationship worth being in.

Hold up. Ice in milk isn't right? Who says?
