I sleep sideways/diaginal on my bed about half the time at this point because I have a cat who likes to lay between my legs, and that only works for a short time for me. So when I move, I just lay differently so she doesn’t get up, and I’m still comfortable.

Test taking is a skill all its own. It shouldn’t be, but man I have slacked so many classes because I have that skill.

The best class I ever had, a course on the physics behind the functionality of renewable energy systems, the professor would give you the equation if you couldn’t remember it. You’d have to go up and talk to him, if you were really struggling, and you needed to know what you were trying to do, but he’d try to hint you through it first, then provide what you were missing. Ultimately he didn’t see students failing on dumb memory stuff as any sort of win for anyone.

As he said, despite being physics, memorizing math, and especially formulae, isn’t the point of the class.

He was my favorite. He wore white socks with soccer ball-patterned sandals every day, with dress pants and a blazer/tie combo, even winter, and rode his bike to campus. Dude was an absolute gem.

That looks just like the call center I used to work in.

So dumb that it’s ai when places like these are everywhere…

Being productive all the time is for suckers with no actual lives.

Unless you count forming and maintaining social bonds as productive, which it absolutely is, in which case your point is just straight moot.

There’s a place near me that has 75 cent tappers (like 10oz).

A soda is 1.25 for 12 oz.

It’s the beer that is cheap in this case. It’s basically sold at cost because the owner isn’t real bright and thinks the added traffic is worth only breaking even.

Oh man my chickens get aggressively excited when I find worms and throw them in the run for them. Especially those whopping night crawler bois. They do the keep-away prance with them held aloft and peck at each other about it.

I’ve decided to start vermicompost specifically to raise worms for them to nom, in addition to the cricket and mealworm tanks I’ve got going :)

Ok well that’s definitely not a “usually” situation then.

Excuse me, what?

I’ve never been anally penetrated during a gyno visit, not a single time in many many years in many different places. If you have, that’s fucking weird.

My cats always look at me when they hear something unusual.

They want to know if they should be concerned or not. If I look concerned they go investigate. If I don’t, they settle back down.

They also gladly follow me into the basement when there’s a bad storm and I rush down. Doesn’t take much convincing, they trust me very much. Won’t come when I call them any other time tho.

Next new study: working with ai makes humans hallucinate events

Here’s the relevant bit about how it works, in conjunction with inhibitors:

“They discovered that mRNA vaccines work like an alarm, putting the body’s immune system on high alert to recognize and attack cancer cells.

In response, the cancer cells start making the immune checkpoint protein PD-L1, which works as a defense mechanism against immune cells. Fortunately, several immune checkpoint inhibitors are designed to block PD-L1, creating a perfect environment for these treatments to unleash the immune system against cancer.”

No silly that’s brawndo! Gatorade just isn’t there yet you see.

Did you know fish can see through glass the same way we can see in? As long as it’s not curved glass they can see pretty clearly.

If you know to ask you lost long ago. :)

The Game (1997) maybe?

See I mean that’s what I assume, too, but whomever starts their post with metric is clearly not used to the conversions into freedom units and so one must verify they did they math correctly. In case they are egregiously off the mark.

I’m with you on this. I have very few notifications enabled, and read receipts are off on my end (except signal, where like you I only have 2 contacts, and I don’t mind them knowing that I flaked to hell on replying, because they are also neurospicy or intimate partners, and we just have a sort of understanding that as long as we are still close, it’s fine to leave stuff until you can handle it.)

It’s really liberating. I can read texts and then set them back to unread so I know I need to follow up, but nobody else knows I’ve even seen it.

I genuinely wouldn’t be able to turn off notifications tho, not entirely… I absolutely do not look at my phone enough to see the badges. Even with notifications on and set to re-alert 3x, I miss a ton of shit because I try not to use my phone much anymore (I doom scroll too much and video games are better for my health even if they are full of war crimes and sort of fucked morals like rimworld.

Nope, nothing standard about toes, lots of genetic variation! ;)

Is that 7 toes lengthwise or side-by-side? And which American toes? Lady liberty, or a normal human adult, or a child? Perhaps a newborn?

Man I hate our measuring system, it’s so complicated.

I’m chronically online most days and I haven’t seen this on Lemmy yet, nor at all for that matter.

I hate when people whine about seeing stuff multiple times; at least this isn’t a depressing news article being shared in 63 different communities so you have to see the same thing dozens and dozens of times and be reminded how shit everything is…

It’s just a fun little picture with no bad vibes at all. I’m ok with seeing that sort of thing repeatedly.
