Lol I was thinking this exact thing

Less than 100 years ago

i wish my fridays were back to how they used to be

they dont’ surprise me anymore

now that i think about it, this would be handy for remote support techs walking a user on-site on what to do…

“you see the 3rd switch from the top that has the cisco logo? i’ll need you to power cycle it”

2 hours later

“oh i found it”

vs.

“you see the girl with the blue hair? unplug the box her hair’s connected to”

can’t speak for others, but i’m mostly the quiet/introverted/lurker type…

sometimes i just feel like i have nothing valuable to add to the conversation

i will make an active effort to engage more tho

this would be a really mean prank

the fellow students in school growing up that always blew off paying attention in school and disrupting class didn’t just disappear… sure i saw less of them when i wasn’t confined to those public grade school walls, but it’s been a harsh realization for me as I’m seeing them again as adults buying into and spreading the misinformation.

sure if we want to get granular, then yes “it” is a pronoun as well… it’s just not typically used when referring to a person

the irony behind my use of “it” just now though…

a younger candidate puppet would have drawn in the millenials/genz vote this time around but boomers gonna boom…

those are pronouns…

My wife has this issue all the time and she says it’s her tell for when she’s dreaming. She often uses it as a que to help her lucid dream

my tell is when i snap the rubber bands i usually wear on my wrists… in dreams, i feel nothing when the band snaps against the skin

i had one recently and i tried to make myself fly after realizing it was lucid, but couldn’t lol… i also thought about jumping off a cliff but my brain still said no that’s still a bad idea… my sub-concious is trained i guess

i’m glad this is being discussed. i felt like i was among very few in how i felt about that use of its vs it’s.

just say “it is” and use it’s as the possessive… like every other word in the language and stop failing people on exams

getting killed because of your skin tone when going to shop at the grocery store is barbaric. i’m not trying to throw a zinger here, but we have to strongly address both sides of the situation.

a belief that they should treat others the way they’d want to be treated?

this is probably a trick question so i don’t think I’d answer it correctly

lol no kids…

that’s the thing… by me saying talk to kids… im saying address it all… i’m looking to educate them, not shelter them…

if/when i have one, i’m telling them this world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows… here’s how to make the smart and wise decisions…~then i’d hand them their baby bottle~

i’m wouldn’t be looking to curb curiosity tho… that’s not natural at all… instead i’d be looking to address it head on…

i’m telling my kids, yes this happens, this is a thing… share my viewpoints on the dangers of abusing it… and reprimand them for treating it as such.

they’re still going to do it… but at least them knowing that i’m well aware of it as a parent would lessen risk of them turning it into some sort of secret addiction of theirs.

" big + brown + shiny = sexy"

i can empathize

true. but quite frankly, if someone can’t at their very core agree to the ‘golden rule’, what other option is there? a functioning society is better off being divided against people like that.

wildly understated too…

like… middle school kids today navigated mobile devices with ease when they were toddlers…

they’re gonna know what a vpn is before they leave high school.

we’re just better off addressing the issue head on than trying to band-aid it… it won’t work
