I’m sleepy and read that as “Biden voters, how do you dry your ass afterward?” and was very confused. But like… not as confused as I probably should have been.

Hey man, all cats are grey in the dark.

Ironing is for crafts and sewing.

I think it was millipedes.

One of the largest of these was Arthropleura Armata, a genus of millipede that inhabited coal forests and could grow up to 2.5 metres in length.

It’s lovely, Bones! Thank you!

About 110, but most are not very active. I do tend to go through my ‘subscribed: new’ feed pretty quickly and then switch to ‘local: active.’

Oh honey… I’m sorry you don’t have better ways to interact with the world.

Ickplant moderates and is the main poster for [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] and [email protected] which, together are about half my Subscribed feed. BonesOfTheMoon fills my feed with [email protected] which is nice.

IQ tests are about reasoning ability, not nitpicky grammar rules.

Prescriptive grammar is useless and often racist. “Use to be” and “Used to be” are identical when spoken. There is no practical reason to know the difference or to care about rules regarding past participles and their relationship to the word “did” unless you are grading a paper or jerking off to your own superiority complex.

If language conveys meaning, it is sufficient. If you can’t understand the meaning of a sentence with this kind of error, you might be a poorly programmed AI.

because it aggravates you?

I use Mlem on iPhone, but I can’t send private messages, I just get an error message every time. I have to use voyager if I want to do that. Otherwise it’s a very good app.

A friend of mine told me he went to a concert that was “so loud it physically hurt his ears.” He thought I was looking at him like he had two heads because that was such a strange experience until I told him that voices at normal conversational volume often “physically hurts my ears.”

He never knew why I was always asking him to lower his voice, he thought it was just a weird thing I did.
