sadly my wife isn't on lemmy so we will never know

"Wet", like "funny", "beautiful", "delicious", "bright", "hot", "spicy", "soft', "hairy", "clean", "malleable" are subjective, context specific, descriptors. You can't describe how many hairs makes something hairy: three hairs on a bowl of ice cream is hairy, but the opposite on a human head.

Those things are mostly true yes but we're talking about the function of the adjective wet in language and the phenomenon of wetness as a linguistical descriptor and livable experience. Obviously things are wet, it's an incredibly common and useful term, but it probably does elude rigid classification and all you're going to get are opinions because there's no way to rigidly define it. It's a "heap problem" there isn't a specific point where something becomes a heap, but yet you can heap thing.

a cloud is (basically not exactly) "steam" - steam makes things wet when it condenses into water

(clouds of water on Earth at least, not Venusian clouds of Sulphur for eg)

I disagree. Mixing water and another liquid does not make the second liquid "wet" - it makes a mixture. Then if you apply that mixture to a solid the solid becomes wet until the liquid leaves through various processes and becomes dry. If that process is evaporation, the air does not become wet it becomes humid.

A lot of them have seasons - off the top of my head

• Subway Surfers
• Fortnight
• Hearthstone
• Fallout 76
• Destiny 2
• Rocket League
• Duolingo
• DOTA
• Dead by Daylight
• Fall Guys

Then you've got your Stardew Valleys, Animal Crossings etc that ise ecological seasons as part of game play.

so... lemmy?

Therapy isn't a single sentence, and we talked over these things for weeks for me to get to this place. It also had to come from me, one thing I talked about is that dwelling on misery/mistakes is, for me anyway, a guilty pleasure and a little addictive, so I had to be truly sick of living that way and genuinely want the change in my heart of hearts.

• "You don't have to be mad at yourself for that any more"
• "What good does worrying about that part of your past do your current self?"
• "Come on, now. You know that's not true"
• "Don't reply to messages from your ex'

saw a giant transparent plastic tub of baked beans for sale at the entrance to a publix last night in Tennessee- meme not fooling anyone

super minor but I always preferred to define fizzbuzz as modulo 3*5 to show adherence to the instructions in the readability of the code without having to think about why

what about the numerous sexual harassment lawsuits, decades long friendship with Epstein including numerous trips on the lollita express and his longstanding board membership of Berkshire Hathaway which has presided over numerous ethics violations?

FYI blades go dull after a few years even without use just due to entropy.

I learned to use a straight razor over covid. You use barely any pressure, tilt the blade and go with the grain and you're good

The kind of band where the bass player doesn't touch the lowest two strings and doesn't play fewer than 16 notes a bar

Always fond of "The American Medical Association" from The Illuminatus! Trilogy

and

"The Band with Rocks In" from Discworld

There is a lot of reasonable doubt: no matching eyebrows, different clothes, suspicious evidence processing, disconnect in time-line, weird arrest conditions...

I think I saw that one, it ends with him being like, "well, I should go practice climbing more!" and the other climbers just look at each other

"ok"

next day: "nope"
