Yep. He immediately dialed into it because Gravity Falls is an old favourite, and these shows share a good bit of DNA. I just like to hear Danny Pudi.

Mine has largely gotten over the lava chicken phase, and has moved on to the next incredibly annoying barely sentient compulsion.

Last I checked it was the intro to Ducktales. Have you shown them that? It’s so ruinously catchy it may never leave your mind.

I’ve had this happen too.

They did say they’d pay so presumably there’d be some production value to the affair. I’m seeing a Roman theme, along the lines of “Christians to the lions”.

Might be a starting point. It’s not looking good.

Whisper of a dream

A return to pure value investing would be incredible harm reduction about, I dunno, sixty years ago. Nowadays the derivatives market is so much larger than the actual market that any attempt to unwind it might literally collapse the entire global economy

Wisdom as distinct from knowledge is a performance of one’s experience. Think on your experiences, and how to portray them for an audience. That will appear to be wisdom.

Another version of wisdom is a lack of self-seriousness. Unlearn your self regard to achieve this.

In my job I’ve seen American ambulance bills that cost more than that. And if they used a helicopter or even just a fixed wing medevac it’s usually at least 10x as much.

Hell, I’ve seen routine injections billed higher than that come to think of it…

Apparently this is true? I’ll be emotionally processing this one for the next week. I wasn’t prepared for that.

I don’t think there is such a thing as a left wing echo chamber. We bicker incessantly. The other day I was making a joke at the expense of the car-brain mentality and someone came at me for ableism.

I’m not mad at them, it’s just illustrative of my point. We don’t take shit from each other, and we take each other to task over jokes. The right will, meanwhile, forgive literal pedophilia, rape, and murder of each other. I’m sure as hell not saying we should, but we will never create an echo chamber as good as they do because of that.

Flirting is just part of seduction. It’s not just to “make intentions known”, people are more dynamic than that. Being flirted with will often actually create feelings that weren’t there before. If you enjoy how someone makes you feel, you open up and become closer. Merely being liked by someone can be quite flattering.

That’s darkly solipsistic. Risky sort of thought to entertain. Life is chaos and it’s all real. Just do your best and be kind to yourself, and others.

Someone really had to go and identify as an actual fucking problem. Damn monkey’s paw.

It’s funny how it they were leftists using that word correctly, they’d be right. Ain’t that some shit?

Usually this clock isn’t even wrong RIGHT that often

EDIT: WRONG WORD 🤮

HAAHA

I know, I wasn’t happy with that guess either.

All l can find right now is a paper that suggests metaphorical understanding may be impaired in people with schizophrenia.

No idea. Aphantasia?

This is beyond memes. This is a severe deficit of metaphorical thinking. Mom might have like undiagnosed autism
