I do. Then the water tank runs out of hot water.
I thought it was funny.
Ocean City is the new Atlantic City anyway.
Out of stock everywhere, since they've stopped manufacturing it.
Would that pizza be still in tact by the time it arrives? Did they heat it or did they send it frozen?
Does Kyiv even have an Aldi???
What's up with everyone spamming these ad articles for bluesky?

All good. Looks like my comment got axed for some reason, even though I've intended it as a positive critique.
I've noticed that people like using "I mean" as a filler or figure of speech. But when you keep seeing it over and over again, especially multiple times in a single comment, or in a comment chain, it's really noticable.
I used to say "uhm" out loud a lot while forming sentences. It's a placeholder to give your mind a pause to catch up what you are trying to say. A speech therapist highlighted this to me and got me to slowly phase it out by first squelching it and just internalizing the "uhm", then completely getting rid of it and rely on silent pauses instead. It helped me realize these speechpatterns, doesn't matter whether they are used as a run on or a pause. And "I mean" really caught on the past few years as a faux intellectual discourse marker, so it's extra noticable for me.
Looks like there's some more about its usage here:
