Gonna go on Countdown with the line “Dictionaries aren’t rule books, they’re record books” and fight Susie Dent.

I’m only now realizing that my enjoyment of being in the rain has dropped in correlation to growing older and having expensive things in my pockets. Maybe next time it rains I’ll leave the phone and AirPods behind and go for a walk.

I suppose it could go either way. That would be true if we see stardates as a universal system that applies anywhere and everywhere. If we instead imagine them to include encoded information about local space time, it makes sense that they might be inconsistent but always moving forward.

I am, of course, using “makes sense” extremely loosely here.

I guess when you’re traveling around faster than the speed of light, time and date stop meaning the same thing as they do back home, so it stands to reason that you couldn’t map stardates to any standard calendar.

At least, that’s my new headcanon.

Normally I’d say it would be ridiculous for a company to push legislation for such a small demographic, but since Korea has mandatory service still as far as I know, they basically get to put a Samsung in the hands of every male citizen. And they’ll most likely keep using the same brand of phone after.

I know historically “deaf and dumb” meant deaf and mute, but, at least in the classes I took in college, I was told we don’t use that terminology anymore, for hopefully obvious reasons.

Honestly forgot about chai. And I think people took my original comment a little too seriously, lol. Nothing at all against putting milk in your drinks or not. I’m just jealous because my lactose free milk costs twice the price.

If you have to add milk to it to enjoy it, then you like drinking milk. This brought to you by the lactose intolerant gang.

But in reality I actually love a good jasmine green tea, nothing added. Black is fine with some sugar.

I have a vague recollection of this fence showing up on Reddit ages ago and everyone telling the owner to get a beware of dog sign instead of fixing it.

Either they followed through, or that’s a pretty good photoshop.

This 100% My experience only mattered because I was able to really involve myself and had a great relationship with my instructor, and still do, actually. There were people who failed out, so my specific program isn’t something I’d classify as a degree mill, but I 100% could’ve coasted through and retained nothing.
