The thing that comes only with age is: to not give a fuck.

When we learn that it doesn’t matter we can all be little old people who are purple mohawk headed, wearing clashing neon adidas jumpsuit with zebra primted boas.

Honestly if you have the ai text summary turn on for your SO’s texts… Maybe it wasn’t that out of the blue.

I’m still convinced that the aluminum in deodorants are not safe either…

I brush my teeth and floss every night before going to sleep.

Half of the cars (okay 25% ish) in Nevada using California plates to save on insurance… I hope this will help this trend.

Honor means a lot of different things. And it has been used to commit so many different crimes against minorities.

I think nowadays in the western culture it means individual honor. It means to be trustworthy and to stand by your word. By the classic saying: “A gentleman can settle the bill later”.

The way late stage capitalism goes, honor culture will be left behind. Where every individual is reduced to a number, the concept is disappearing. You pay first before pumping gas. And the only time your wow matters is in the court when you say you won’t lie.

That sounds like a special scenario.
Tho I’m not sure if a book needs a narrator it can be still called a book instead of a theater piece or voice play.

I like Google tts. I tried Samsung’s one and I just couldn’t find a good pitch/tone that I liked from it.

This is why I said that I am going to be controversial.
Text to speech is only going to be better with time.
My most important preference is to have the text delivered without reader bias towards its contents. And that’s only possible with computer speech.

I use moon+ reader pro on Android for text to speech.

I think the best audiobook is text to speech.
I prefer to not filter any stories through an other person. I want the raw data from the book, without any other feelings and impressions added to the original.

It is escapism. Romance usually has very few things that’s real. I mean that most romance stories are more alike to a fairytale than reality.

Most movies and books are 98% predictable with the well-known cliches. And that makes them work. Beig wealthy is just an other thing that makes it going.

Most girls were raised on the price charming idea, and a rich, wealthy and emotionally available person fits the bill.

Reality of barely making rent and having no money to fix your car or even just daily struggle to find childcare for a date would break the dream.

When you are watching romance you want the fuzzy feels, the safe environment that everything going to be alright and happy ending is guaranteed. Love, money, heath and safe environment - with tons of loving friends and family - now that’s what people want to dream of.

I think once I saw a web browser that made websites look like its code. So you were looking for bugs while browsing.

If you want to wear a necklace or - anything - you should just do it.
I know it’s hard to believe when you are still young, but when you are wearing somersetting YOU like, it will make you happy. And a happy person is attractive.
It’s just a plus that any chosen accessory will attract people who have the same taste :)

I rarely remember movies, but this one was a doozy.
I don’t know if its really a horror movie tho. Disturbing for sure, but not scary.
Very memorable, even if it wasn’t all great in other ways.

Found the original picture. Have fun!
(I accidentally saw the solution to it - meh :D )

Isn’t it funny that this: “Society as a whole must be well prepared for crises — ranging from a pandemic, to natural disasters, to war,” she said. Became this: “Schools should prep students for war, German minister says”

And to be honest, yes kids should be taught how to handle bad situations. Just like they need to be taught how to handle money, how to build a budget, how to handle their own emotions and how to see a clickbait from a mile away.
