They literally did do that. My account is old enough that linking it was already required when I started playing. It was off temporarily.

Oh cool, love to start getting daily reposts, it's just like we're on reddit

I used to work next door to a colombian cart and these were my go-to, my god what happens inside that dough

"The democrats are mean to me so I didn't vote" grow a goddamn spine

You know 75% of the iceberg is above the clouds

Inscrutable? The message here is clear

It is with great regret that she [did something nobody was forcing her to do].

The Han Solo drinking game: take a shot before Han gets shot at (Han shoots first)

Note: This means you will be sober throughout the prequels obviously, but you're gonna be pretty wasted by the end of ESB

This whiteboard all by itself could be used as data that students need to be allowed more sleep.

So did she hit or pass

Is there an easy way to block one publication from appearing in my feed, this guy isn't worth listening to any more

You can shine a flashlight through your entire hand, OP. Light probably reaches most of your interior at least in small amounts.

This revelation is about to change my whole lunch (I'm also gonna have a sandwich)

That's who I was thinking of when I wrote this!

This one's not even that far out there. Understanding how ants think has direct applications! Ants must take many thousands of steps in a day; being able to count them precisely requires certain cognitive facilities we wouldn't otherwise know existed. Next step: figure out how those things work with such simple cognition. Then apply that to self-organizing robots and use them to cure cancer or something.

The main thesis here is good, but that's a mischaracterization of what people consider "failed" writers.

Someone who wrote one novel and had it published is not considered a failed writer, no matter if they then stop writing immediately. "Failed writer" is pretty much reserved for people who tried writing and couldn't get anyone interested enough in it to publish it.

I'm not sure what labels would be applied to someone who exclusively pursued self-publishing, but that's not really the common way.

Gen X here. I also just bought a house a year ago. I support the elimination of housing-as-investment. It has always been a smoke and mirrors trick anyway.

You buy a house to live in. You put money into that house. Eventually, 30 years later, I won't have to pay a mortgage any more but by that time I'll be a very old man. In the meantime the value of the house has gone up. Hooray? Not really: I can't get that money back out and live on it. To live on it, I'd have to sell the house. Then I'd need somewhere else to live. Oh, I suppose I could buy a house? Except the value of every other property has gone up just like mine. It's break-even. It's not an investment for anyone except developers and massive real estate corps.

Well I didn't see the comment you're apologizing for so, no apology necessary ig?
