Sexy iguanas.

Is there any other kind?

Came here to comment this. Are you a fellow Lateral Podcast listener?

Ah thanks, I always wondered why I can see some images but not others.

You're quitting early. That's not even half the fun of predecimal British currency. There is so much more:

Edit: Well, that didn't work. Let me see, if I can fix it.

Edit2: or maybe it did? I can see the image in the browser, just not in the app. Here is the link, in case someone else can't see it: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a4/British_predecimal_currency.svg

Anne of Green Gables is one of my favourite comfort novels. It just instantly takes me to a happy place. Somewhere on the internet, I once saw Anne described as

a red-haired, freckle-faced orphan who faces the world with nothing but the sheer force of her personality

which summarises it very well.

If anyone is interested in checking it out, I cannot recommend this LibriVox recording by Karen Savage enough.

Oooh, I never noticed that difference, just remembered there being a timestamp. TIL, thanks.

Are we sure they would be upset? I can kinda see my cat reading it, turning to stare directly at me and then slowly but deliberately climbing in.

Maybe it was shared through an app. If I share a YouTube video from NewPipe, by default it will add the time code to the URL.

I get that. It shouldn't be necessary to do research just to be sure it's safe. I apologise for my aggressive tone. It must be really scary and exhausting to live somewhere like that. My country is still holding up but seems to be sliding slowly in that direction too.

So do whatever makes you stay safe and feel safe.

I'm sorry if I misgendered you. I was already exhausted from the other comments that clearly state that they are men and probably was biased in that regard. But my point still stands that there is no reason to completely forego tracking apps.

Drip, the app mentioned several times in this thread, let's you encrypt the locally stored database with a password you have to enter every time you open the app. How is that not safer than a random piece of paper?

It's so exhausting that this thread is full of men telling women what they should and shouldn't do while having very little knowledge about the topic.

You can turn this around as well. Their mom asking them to stop having contact with their father is her choosing to take away their father from them. If that's what she wants to do...

Children should not be pulled into the relationship problems of their parents. The parents are the ones who chose to have a child together, they are the ones who have to deal with the consequences of that.

I'm in no way qualified to judge whether this classifies as being an alcoholic. But I think you certainly have an unhealthy relationship to alcohol or at least beer. It's not really "normal" (sorry, I don't know how to phrase it better) to think so much about a beverage.

The same goes for food, actually. And at least there it doesn't automatically equal excessive consumption, sometimes it's the opposite, either anorexia or even focusing on a healthy diet. The point is that the healthy default state is to not obsess about it too much.

Out of curiosity, have you tried alcohol-free beer? There are really good ones out there and maybe trying some could help you determine whether it's actually the alcohol or more the "beer equals good time" aspect that drives you.

Can't misrepresent women if you don't represent them. Taps forehead.

The scary part is, that for them "everyone" is having fun. Because women are usually not included in their everyone.

If you want to start a new line, you can either type three spaces at the end of the line or a backslash. I think it should work on all clients, but I'm not sure.

This is gold. The person he finds eventually is Danny Pudi as Abed Nadir from Community doing his Nicholas Cage impression.

I've heard of several "Pflanzentauschtage" ("plant trade days") here in Germany as well.

He worked 500000 times as hard as other people! It's well deserved! If you worked 168 hours a week instead of 40, and 120000 times as hard, you could easily make that, too.
