The universe decided to mix up basic units of the fabric of reality. Now nothing makes sense.

"All right, I've been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager!"

Are these in order? So stealing her shoe and a hairpin with hair in it, and then when she confronts you offer the cheese as a diversion?

Could have been Reddit data. Stack Overflow is more heavy on the probability of telling them it's a question that's been asked before.

It says not to sit. Cat isn't sitting. All good.

You don't have to use fossil fuels. Just pointing out.

"You're dead to me" is what a bad parent would say. To do it over political ideology is even worse.

We may be long past "things you don't say and do if you don't want war". The only saving grace so far is that the rest of the world doesn't want a conflict, so they're playing it out and hoping something internally happens to avoid a mess.

They're going to try and plant a flag.

Girls can like digging holes too. Sounds to me like someone is looking for something to hate, and really reaching here, unless there's something more subtle to this game (I doubt it).

Does Tolkien have any writings about what happened when the dwarves dug too deep, or is that just a side note mentioned to explain why things are found that way? Gandalf had heard some rumors, but wasn't sure if they were true. That would have been an interesting documentary of first hand "oh shit! RUN!"

Still is. Maybe even more, even though the pandemic was a perfect example to show its relevance to reality.

My grandfather drove around a beat up Datsun pickup, smaller than most sedans these days. But it did the job for what he used it for, and ran forever. I think I've seen less than five on the road in the decades since. They seem out of place in today's SUV/huge truck world.

They're called "Stablecoins", what could go wrong?

I think it's even worse. They didn't tell us what was and wasn't recyclable. They used symbols very similar to the recycling logo to stamp on various types of plastics to classify them. Most of the types used are one time use, they never were meant to imply recycling, that's just the symbol appearance.

Recycling started off as the third R and last resort, the first two were Reduce and Reuse. Those were not compatible with an economy based on consumerism and growth, so Recycling became the focus, creating an industry to pick through the few things that could be recycled and trashing the rest, and encouraging the public to buy more because it's not a problem as long as you participate.

And if you don't participate, all the problems are your fault. Not the companies making the stuff, they're just doing what you want.

It was only a fool's hope.

My God, it's full of stars!

They can be, but verifying everything is close to factual is hard to do. I do think that what makes the friendship is key - if it's something that's enjoyed online, then odds are you aren't going to be completely compatible IRL with other things, maybe even most things past the one thing you share. If it's more general things, then the odds go up a bit, but you still don't know the "vibe" the person gives off in reality, so there could be traits that you're better off not knowing about. However, I met my wife online (back before "real" internet on Quantum Link, a national BBS for C-64) and we're still compatible, so it can happen. Granted, it was a lot different then, but there were fakes and scammers then too.
