2 days agoMy brain actually computes it first as 7 + 5 = 12 + 1 = 13.
I add 5s together a lot at my work (14, 19, 24… 63, 68, 73…) hard to explain why, but my brain jumps to 5s very easily for addition because of it.

We noticed you liked that tree. Would you like to see it again in 45 minutes?
I thought it was about bison from New York bullying taxi drivers
0·5 days agoA YouTube channel that discusses Missing 411 style content: people disappearing under mysterious circumstances.
A running theme in their show is that overwhelmingly the RCMP are criminally negligent in their duties, are very quick to write off missing persons as runaways, do absolute garbage tier investigation, and that’s where my comment came from.
Not necessarily a topical episode but I like this one: https://youtu.be/f7389EXjdBg
0·6 days agoNot the first time this week an article written in that archaic newsspeak style confused the shit out of me. “Journalist shot in 2020 protests dying from injuries.”
So, are they protesting the idea of dying of injuries? Are they dying of injuries incurred in the protests from back then? A simple “is” would have clarified everything but can’t have articles in our article headers!

Anyone who’s seen Lore Lodge says that they probably should be called a terrorist organization
Rocking those classic 990s
Definitely. Deserts can have incredible biodiversity. A lot of species of cactus, sedges, euphorbia, composite flowers, wrens, songbirds, the list goes on.
Barren deserts probably are so destitute and lacking in humidity that practically nothing can grow there.
I find Germans have an easier time replying to things very frankly and without garnishment or humor. I can ask a German, “How are you?”, and he may reply with “I’m fine” and it can be taken at face value.
Americans tend to be more, I don’t know, conflict avoidant in their replies? There’s more expectation of subtext, of irony, and it’s not as typical to take “I’m fine” at face value.
“Can’t complain” is another good one. It’s often heard as, “I can’t complain [because nobody would listen anyway]”. Tone is important, as is environmental context. Blue collar workers at the site say this, yeah their day is going to shit. Your buddy says it over drinks, maybe he’s having a neutral, normal time of life, or maybe his life is going to shit and he’s giving the ironic answer to avoid diving into his real issues, while still communicating that things are not perfect.
Last week I was asked how my day was. It had been a perfectly normal, decent day, good time at work, beautiful weather, and my reply was “Life’s a peach”. I got back, “That bad, huh?” Yeah, the American habit of taking genuine expression and searching for a darkness under it can be tiring sometimes.
0·9 days agoLovely spot! However, the location I’m looking at is far from where you showed me.
There is a lake on Victoria Island in the arctic archipelago that I am reasonably sure has never been seen by a real person, and it is unnamed. Furthermore, the lake has a small island on it. One of my life’s goals is to see this lake and island someday.
We will dive into the history of this franchise, but fir—
The franchise began in 1967, when…Me:

FLuffee Talks. (Hey… What’s up?)
No particular reason. FLuffee is a major old schooler that’s been pumping out content since the earliest days of YouTube who specializes in pop news and shock-jock content. I used to devour his content when I was like 11-15, and I think I just got overexposed and lost taste for it.
I’ve gone back occasionally over the years and he’s still at it. If his content style works and he can maintain it even some 16-18 years later, I say more power to him.
