Today in the US was for me. The polling place was only a 5 minute walk away, but the wait was about 45 minutes. Tbf though, I naturally managed to pick the slowest moving line by a good margin; people who were initially standing behind me switched to other lines midway through and were able to get their ballot before me. I would guess most people were there for 30 minutes.

For every previous election I voted in-person, the wait was like 10 minutes tops, but those were in smaller towns.

Some people are gifted like that

Can confirm, I used to daily an 07 focus and it went through door handles like tires

Yeah I’ve gotten pretty good with swipe typing

IT ALL GOES BACK TO THE SUN

In past, many word impossible, but AI make talk verbose. Shun AI. Talk short.

When I do it I mean to leave a couple sentences… aaand suddenly I’ve got a 500 word essay. Oops

I’ve been hearing a lot about this “everything that’s manmade, tall, and narrow is a phallus” theory the last few years, online and even in some college courses. Frankly, I don’t really buy it. Disclosure, this is totally out of my field, so feel free to set my take on fire if I’m wrong. I don’t doubt that the phallus explanation is true in a few cases, but for most towers, spires, steeples, and other pointy monuments, there’s a couple of other possible inspirations that seem more likely to me. The first would be the upright and narrow stance of humans as opposed to animals standing on four legs close to the ground, like a monument to human exceptionalism. Another theory that I would buy is that tall things just look cool to us on an instinctual level. Trees, mountains, and cliffs are beautiful and are more easily personified than other natural features (relating back to the first point). They have this dignity and magesty about them, it makes sense that our architecture and art would attempt to convey that.

I don’t know, I guess I’m just projecting when I say this, but I just can’t imagine designing a building with cool spikes and thinking “these represent my dick”.

It always bothered me that two-face has no pronunciation problems with only half a pair of lips

Also tomato: Because I literally am

Shit I had one of those. Now I’m feeling all nostalgic remembering fidgetting with the slider

Great now that’ll be stuck in my head all day. I just want someone to say to meeee oh oh oh ooh!

The OnePlus 7t back when it was on oxygen os 10. Great hardware, perfect software. It was the first phone I got where I didn’t need or want to flash a custom rom. Unfortunately, every software update that it got since then felt like a downgrad. After oxygen os 10, oxygen os and Oppo’s color os have been going through something of a merge. The result is that oxygen os is no longer as stock-like as it used to be and lots of small convenience features have disappeared in favor of flashy yet useless-to-me features. I have an 8t now and it’s fine but I don’t think that I’ll get another OnePlus.

Unfortunately in my area it’s rare to find cast iron in thrift stores, and when I do it’s priced high enough that I might as well go to Walmart and get a brand new lodge

Tbh I didn’t always, but one day teenage me was drying off over the floor, feet sliding around, using a second towel to soak the puddle I made, when I had the thought “Why don’t they put a drain in the bathroom floor?” Then I turned and looked at the shower that I just got out of and realized that I’m a fucking moron

I usually just use a kitchen rag, and when that isn’t good enough I run the lid under hot water for a few seconds, carefully tap the circumference of the lid against the counter, and try again.

I’ll take your advice one step further: after you’ve hand-squiggied yourself, do a quick towel dry in the shower. Dry your feet as you step out and you won’t get any water on the floor

For me it was more general: I think I became an adult when I finally understood that adults were just kids that got old. I don’t feel more adult, but at some point the adults in my life went from feeling like superiors to feeling like peers, so now I guess I’m one of them.
