Once you know how to read, it’s impossible to not read.

Like with math, you can choose to not do the math, but with reading, once you see the letters, your brain will automatically make them into words without you doing any processing.

You cannot turn off your ability to read.

That’s actually brilliant. I spent so many weeks hand carving babies out of pumpkins and cabbages for the last baby shower I attended.

That would have saved me so much time and money.

Yeah, it must have been really hard on all the people who watched the hangings and saw them kicking and struggling for several minutes before they finally died.

I hope all of the attendees got the appropriate counseling and aftercare.

But are very far away from good paying jobs and clean and healthy living environments and public activities that don’t involve driving a car.

The music that resonates with other people is the music that says the thing that that person wishes they were saying.

And you can totally hear the difference between when somebody is phoning it in or using a programmed synthesizer versus when they are emoting with their soul with every note that they play.

Not that every note of music has to be written with emotion and played with soul, but if you are looking for emotion and soul, you’re going to find it more in older music that’s less polished, or in indie music that isn’t corporate.

For instance, like Owl City’s Fireflies is not a musical composition where every single note is played with soul, but it’s still lighthearted and fun and enjoyable and it communicates the vibe that the artist wanted to communicate.

Whereas, for instance, in the aeroplane over the sea by Neutral Milk Hotel is a very raw and jangly mash of hard left-right panning acoustic overlays, and theremin’ music, and all sorts of stuff just stacked on top of each other. It’s this wild explosion of energy, and then on top of that, you’ve got Jeff Mangum just crooning out over the top of it, probably at the top of his lungs the whole time, and you can tell that he was emoting with everything that he had in him on every strum of the guitar. So even though it’s a cornucopia of sound, it has a lot of soul.

My favorite part of it is that if you set it to do so, it will automatically download any images your friends or girlfriends send to you so that you can save it as a separate file.

Been on AT&T for five years and I have not had any problems like that.

I’m on Android also.

My suggestion would be to consider resetting your phone or at least finding some way to reset your settings.

You may not have your SMS or MMS settings set correctly.

If you’re on Android you could also try switching over to a different text app, like Textra.

The pro version of Textra is a couple of dollars, but I find it far superior to Google messages in every way except for the whatever RMS or IMCP or whatever the new media texting thing is for Apple compatibility.

Okay, okay, alright, somebody, someone somewhere…

You have to tell me, how the fuck do they make money from being intentionally stupid?

How the fuck?

There’s no way they’re doing this by accident.

There’s no way they’re actually this stupid.

There has to be an angle.

What the fuck is the angle?

How the fuck are they funding their lives by saying shit like this?

They should make a boob version.

It would be super handy for sneaking food into the movie theater.

I’d be a 6’1" Native American guy with facial hair and some fucking Triple G titties that slosh when I walk because they’re full of diet soda

I don’t even have to be old, I would wear that right now.

And I would learn how to skateboard.

And be the coolest kid from the 1990s.

Agreed, Barbie is a meringue at best.

I’ve had some people tell me that pho looks terrible, with it being raw meat on top of boiling hot water and all.

Pho is one of the 10 most tastiest dishes in the world.

Sand is what is left over after you dewitchify a sandwich.

I think due to genetic mutation that some humans have 45 and some have 47, but by and far the largest majority of humans have 46 chromosomes.

Yeah, I feel like a lot of people think of gaslighting as if it were intentional, but when I have encountered gaslighting, it has usually come from people who have a different view of events and are unwilling to accept that their viewpoint isn’t the absolute truth of the situation.

They will argue from the viewpoint of “the way I remember things is the way things happened”.

Then when you say that they are gaslighting you, they will say that they are not.

In their mind, they’re just telling the truth of events as they remember them, no malice intended.

It’s supposed to be tongue-in-cheek.
