Naegleria fowleri, the goddamn brain-eating amoeba, is goddamn everywhere and I goddamn hate knowing that.

I looked it up and wow, that’s crazy. Messi is basically naturally domesticated. If the medical conditions are genetic, he could be the start of a lineage of house pumas.

I Binged it on DuckDuckGo and got really interesting results about gender differences in blood plasma.
The base pairs are off and that irritates me more than the art - at least that has the excuse of being evocative or something.
If I pay attention to a written piece of information (name, phone number, address, short instructions, that kind of stuff) I will remember it for months and years. Comes in handy when working with complex policies and legislation!
This is balanced by the fact that I have trouble retaining auditory information. If you tell me your name, I’ve forgotten it before you’ve even finished talking. (But if I catch it on your badge out of the corner of my eye, I’ll remember it for years.) The only exception are dog names - those I have no trouble remembering.
Haha! We’ve been scouring the discount bin at the local hardware stores for faucetry (is that a word?). By now most of our stuff is matte black because that’s all that gets returned.

First heard about it on r/dndmemes during the API shit storm. I stick around because it’s so much nicer. Smaller, yes, but easier to curate I guess? I read about my specific interests and just vibe.
I used to do that too! But living in Eastern Europe, our shampoo bottles had like twenty languages. I didn’t manage to learn any, but I did develop a sense of how closely related they were.
Cyborg-like implants. I want titanium joints and UV vision and magnetic field sensors and charging my phone by laying it on my belly. Uncap each finger to reveal a small tool: screwdriver, USB key, cutting blade, etc.
Note that none of that includes or requires a constant connection to a network/internet. I want to augment my interactions with the real world, not replace them with a virtual world.
I’m a public servant, so while it’s easy to tell people I work for The Government, it’s a lot harder to explain what I do. My job is a mish-mash of like three different roles in one of the least popular departments. When people ask, I say I work for (our version of) the DMV, and that’s usually good enough.
Charmeleon! Wartortle,
Mewtwo, Tentacruel, Aerodactyl,
Omanyte, Slowpoke…
That’s all I’ve got. I will shed a single tear in remembrance of happier days.
Damn this one’s good, I only noticed when scrolling back up.
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the difference between these icons:
Another clue it isn’t Quebec is that Quebec wouldn’t bother having a separate US section when the States are just a couple hours drive away.
You’re either an Aquarius or a Libra.
welp this tracks. Now do I take one or three drinks?
