The picture seems weird. The parent asking about emojis, ends their question with a kiss emoji? I don’t know that I buy it’s real

Thank you for posting this! I immediately thought of this public announcement of sorts when I read the question.

Exactly. That’s why the “13yo” kid having sex seems less worrisome.

That’s good!

Why is the changing her life part (losing weight and getting a divorce after seeing Bigfoot) relevant? Did she leave her husband to try to get with Bigfoot and is suing the state because they claim her new beau doesn’t exist? Wild!

That’s disappointing

God, I hate how often my CEO says this

"Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."

My favorite version of this type of comic is this one

Close! Mrs Robinson is the name of the song and the older woman in the movie. While the younger man is being seduced by the older woman (who happened to be a married family friend), her daughter who is around his age catches his eye.

The movie is about the fallout of the affair and Dustin Hoffman attempting to date the daughter.

I forgo my vegetables, the bat shaped Reese’s are hands down the best ones!

Would its impact create a solar flare? And if that flare was hurtling towards Earth, would it be more devastating than other solar storms we normally see?

Noting a correction is part of a larger scope of annotating something. From Wikipedia:

There is also a two-thousand-year-old character used by Aristarchus of Samothrace called the asteriskos, ※, which he used when proofreading Homeric poetry to mark lines that were duplicated. Origen is known to have also used the asteriskos to mark missing Hebrew lines from his Hexapla. The asterisk evolved in shape over time, but its meaning as a symbol used to correct defects remained.

In the Middle Ages, the asterisk was used to emphasize a particular part of text, often linking those parts of the text to a marginal comment. However, an asterisk was not always used.

Aristarchus of Samothrace was from c. 220 – c. 143 BC, so it’s been used for notation since at least then!

What was the common thread from when you met the person? How did you hit it off with them?

If you met at a bar, text them later asking if they’ve been to a certain brewery that just opened up (although this could sound like a soft invite to go there, so be prepared for that). If you connected about movies, tv shows, or music, ask them if they saw that new movie (show, album) that’s related to whatever you talked about (same director, sense of humor, style of movie, etc). Basically, just continue the conversation with them. Talk about related things and start to branch out, maybe you’ll find other common interests and things to talk about. You can send an article that you think they’d be interested in. Or a meme about their job.

But make sure that the conversation isn’t one sided. If you’re always the one starting the conversation or carrying it, maybe back off some. They should be just as engaged as you are.

I’d also be interesting in knowing if people have in-unit laundry. Being in an apartment complex where there’s 3 washers for around 50 people, it’s not feasible to wash towels after every use. That also sounds very wasteful!

I shower every other day, and change the towels after a couple of weeks. The schedule is based on when they can get washed (laundry gets done every two weeks for clothes, and so it’s based on the availability of doing extra loads), or at the first sign of a smell or stain.

Bedding gets changed on a monthly basis for the same reasons, again, unless there’s a smell or stain.

Not to mention, there’s also a lot of human slop.
