Wholesome sleeping separately because being in a relationship with someone shouldn’t obligate sacrificing your rest quality to meet the bizarre pressure of some unspoken social obligation that couples must share the same bed (unless you want to)

Not if they already have a PS5, though.

The worker said:

“My daughter wasn’t happy […] but after a short time – and the promise of a temporary replacement - she cooled off."

Couldn’t resist could he XD

There’s also the option of electronic scales which are rechargeable via USB

The answer is very much “Don’t run Photoshop”

Yes, we’ve known this for ages already, it’s nothing new. Return to office is about the office, not about the people.

Although, these stats are people who would consider giving up cars, among those who currently own one.

People who don’t need a car and already don’t have one won’t appear in these figures

If you imagine the perfect fictional country, then for that country the bar chart should theoretically be at 0% - because that would mean everyone who doesn’t need a car doesn’t have one, and anyone who does own a car needs it very strictly for jobs only a car can do, no matter how good the transport infrastructure and planning and zoning are.

It’s a “choccy (chocolate) coffee”

Yeah. Even when you read it “right” it’s still wrong.

There’s no solution here

That’s the strategy, yes

Of course. The definition of what is ugly and what isn’t is subjective and nostalgia obviously plays a part in that.

But I think it’s quite fair to say that almost nobody would consider a postbox to be an eyesore. It’s a functional design but it also has aesthetic elements to it which exist purely to make it look nice, and it’s doing an okay job at that.

Contrast to a telecom utility box which is purely functional, a rectangular box coloured in a drab gray or green in the hopes that our eyes might just wander over without noticing it is even there. Intentionally avoidant because nobody wants to see it.

So I very much stand by my opinion on which “needs” painting and which does not.

This might be alright if it wasn’t such a bad job.But even so, don’t paint postboxes. They’re iconic as they are.

There’s a street artist in my area who paints all the utility and electrical boxes with interesting designs that celebrate the local community. And that’s great, because they were just boring ugly boxes.

If you’re going to paint something, paint something that needs it.

Time to start a boycott movement against Black Ops 6 :)

I also got “Pattern on the beach towel is wavy lines rather than straight lines” but now I’m not certain it isn’t just image compression artifacts.

This is great, honestly.

If you go back to antiquity, education was about philosophy. It was about learning how to observe, and think critically, and see the world for what it is.

And then in modern times, education became about memorisation - learning facts and figures and how to do this and that. And that way of teaching and learning just doesn’t fit any longer with what our digital age has become.

In my opinion, we are heavily overdue for a revamp of what education should be, and what skills are most important to society in this post-truth world. Critical thinking is an important foundation to real knowledge that we don’t teach enough.

My grandmother was into collecting thimbles, when she was still alive.

As a child, whenever I went away somewhere on a trip with my parents and we saw a souvenir thimble, I’d always want to get it for her.

Looking back as an adult, I’m quite sure now that she didn’t really care that much about the thimbles at all, especially towards the end. What she really cared about was the connection it created, and the relationship with her grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

It’s nice to know what someone likes, and to think of them when you see it. And every time I saw thimbles I thought of her.

In a modern context I have a friend who likes frogs, and every time I see a random frog plush or weird frog toothbrush holder or whatever it is I always think of him and want to get it for him.

Fads change but I think the reason for having them stays the same. It’s nice to be into something, and for other people to know you’re into it, too :)

There’s nothing ‘altruistic’ about reddit
