Maybe stop supporting Trump, leave Twitter and return to Mastodon, and stop giving IPs to the police.

Maybe then I’ll consider. For now I’ll stay with Mullvad and mailbox.org.

I don’t care about Jesus being white as much as I care about him not being a baby. The fishes and loaves is a baby Jesus thing, not a beardy Jesus thing !

I envy the turtles but I was born a hare.

I feel very fortunate slow that and steady doesn’t actually always win the race.

We have micronised Zinc now, which blocks the sun exactly as well, but doesn’t make you look like V for Vendetta !

Microsoft, remove point 1 from the list, please.

I’m the “inconclusive IQ test” type of gifted. My scores were too far apart in different subcategories for an overall score to be calculated. So my test basically says “N/A”.

I’m officially an genius-level idiot 😎

If you don’t open by flirting then it shouldn’t be a land mine at all. Also, be mindful of the context. Most people don’t really want you to hit them up at the sidewalk, but it’s probably okay at the park, as long as you don’t shove your face close to mine right away 😂

Honestly, as a woman, I think it’s more about knowing when it’s appropriate to talk to people.

It’s okay if people hit me up at the park or the bar. It’s not okay when I’m doing my groceries in a hurry, or when I’m crossing the street 😆 and if you get “rejected” (sometimes it’s not a hard rejection, my social schedule is just already full), just take it well and go talk to someone else.

I don’t think this is rocket science, and apart from some teenagers whistling me from across the street (which I always pretend I can’t hear), almost all adults get this right.

Taking garbage collection to a whole new level !

66.6% of all traffic is blocked with no functional impact on anything that I do

Okay. I’m convinced.

While this definitely is bad, I think people tend to be a bit unreasonable about this stuff.

Fiberglass is not asbestos, and by the way, asbestos is not uranium.

Do wear the proper PPE, yes, but also don’t be neurotic about it. Even full-time asbestos miners don’t always get related cancers. If you removed some without knowing, studies show you’ll be fine. Your body can and does eliminate asbestos, albeit very slowly.

And again, fiberglass is not asbestos, and doesn’t cause mesothelioma. It’s still not recommended to breathe it in, especially not on the regular, but you don’t need to live in fear of it.

I’ll always remember when I accidentally bent a CPU pin and had to manually straighten it with pliers… it was terrifying 😭 (but that CPU is still working perfectly in my computer 7 years later !)
