I’m pretty sure he turned it down?

I asked my google home the same question and it told me that I told it that my dog is a good girl 3 times. I know it’s not great for privacy, but it made me chuckle.

I wasn’t trying to conflate the two things. I was providing a source on where the “farms” came from, and clarified that they were meant to help “drug addicts” (not minimizing your experience- just reinforcing that the wording is already not great from a lens of treating maladaptive substance use, in addition to being completely inappropriate for people who take prescribed medications.)

I neither agreed not disagreed, though I do find it problematic to be enrolling people who are neurodivergent into any kind of list for any reason without their expressed consent and ability to withdraw that consent at any times. If the reason is purely investigation/research as you say, then I believe that it should be under the same rigor and ethics considerations as any other research.

It’s the stillness. It’s there even when the pupils aren’t visible, although there are some changes with the eyes after death (tache noir comes to mind).

The farms were for those addicted to dangerous drugs like antidepressants.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I’ve since been issued new laptops for work that have physical covers built in and I’m a big fan of those, though I know it doesn’t disable a mic.

My Asus has one and I didn’t know about it and FOR YEARS I thought my webcam was broken- it wasn’t even showing up in the device manager. I bought an external webcam, because I figured it was pooched and I had to use a webcam sometimes, but not often enough to care into looking to get it repaired.

This is a story about me being dumb.

I would say that an artificial dad is the partner of a married single mom.

Funny enough, I just finished playing through Paper Mario 64, and you’ve basically described Peach’s chapters. She’s able to pass on messages by way of using another character as a messenger.

The way the game is structured is there’s a mini Peach chapter in between each main chapter, but I think it would have been intriguing if you never actually got to see Mario’s side of the story and only heard about his adventures from the guards, diary entries, etc. Cool idea for a puzzle game!

So angry at Nestle and the time they killed all those African babies doesn’t even hit your highlight reel. I agree- we can do without Nestle.

My condolences. I hope you get the rest you need, too.

They gave each of the creators of Skyblivion a free key for the deluxe version. Last I heard they were being friendly

I’m a fan of mindfulness and gratitude practice. Also, physical exercise! Nothing like working up a good sweat when I’m mad at myself to feel better after.

Knowing that about your partner brings you closer to soulmate status. In the OP, knowing that she would be happy he brought her ribs and then executing it is what made it cute.

I understand that many people have an incorrect understanding of DEI (and at times have had experience with it being incorrectly applied). I was actually hoping to learn where this particular person learned their viewpoint to have a conversation.

Genuine curiosity here- where did you get your definition of DEI?

Flames! Flames on the side of my face!
