Sirius Black in Harry Potter. I had to go back and reread the paragraph several times, then put the book down. Seemed just so unfair.

“But in that kind of world, this type of murderer wouldn’t exist in the first place.”

Yes, thank you for saying this.

I remember our biology prof showing us a chart relating relative penis size in apes, to, I think it was monogamy (or maybe peacefulness) ? There was an inverse correlation. Humans have relatively big dicks compared to other apes, which would seem to indicate humans aren’t a traditionally monogamous species.

Take this with a major grain of salt, that class was 20+ years ago.

I love how you got both answers, so we’re still none the wiser. :D

My husband loves iPhones and all things Apple. He’s adorable. Every update he’s like, “Look at this new great things we can do!”. Confused me: “that’s been an option on android for like, 10 years…”

I know that’s probably not what was meant, but I’m reading “seals” as the animals, and the image is glorious.

100%. I don’t need help finding what’s on your website. I can find that myself. If I’m contacting customer support it’s because my problem needs another brain on it, from the inside. Someone who can think and take action to help me. Might require creativity or flexibility. AI has never helped me solve anything.

And Texas here. Trump does not represent all of us

I think this was done? Long time ago, maybe in an Russian orphanage or something? If my memory serves me well, those kids all died, despite even having food etc…

Edit: might be confusing that with lack of social interaction. But either way, here’s some reading for you

Painting videos are the best.

I always wanted to be a biologist. I love nature, I find it beautiful and fascinating. I’m passionate about environmental protection, have been since I was a child. Studied, got my Master’s.

Finding work is so hard. What jobs you can get, are unstable, pay is ridiculously bad, and your values are constantly being ridiculed. The state of the environment is so depressing, and the future isn’t looking any brighter.

I don’t work in that field anymore (couldn’t afford to anymore…). The whole thing breaks my heart. I wish I didn’t care as much…

If you go to France and order a taco, you’re in for an unpleasant surprise.

Those abominations are not tacos and as a native Texan that’s my hill to die on.

I feel you. Sometimes titles can be really misleading just to get that effect though, too. Last week there was an article talking about “the highest score in the history of Olympic surfing”. Sure, it was true, but. Surfing was added to the Olympics in 2020. That’s 1 Olympics ago. Stop implying so much more.

When I’m falling asleep or whatnot, I place my hand between my thighs or on my crotch (under all clothes). It’s not a sexual thing. It just feels comforting, for some reason…

Don’t Look Up. As an environmental biologist, I feel they really nailed the constant feeling of crisis that everyone either chooses to ignore or use for greed. There came a point where I couldn’t stomach it anymore, I watch TV to escape reality not be reminded of it lol.

The remix version of Mmmbop

Would that mean anything if it were?

I always confuse that first ETA between Estimated time of arrival vs Estimated time to arrival.

Huh, this one doesn’t ring any bells for me. Is there some reference in particular I should recognize it from?

A lot of shows I liked are mentioned here already, so I’m going to add Brooklyn 99. Recently finished it and it’s a surprisingly rich show, really enjoyed it.

Whole different vibe, but Don’t Look Up. As an environmental scientist, that one really nailed the existential dread many of my colleagues and I feel every day…
