"words of affirmation"
"physical touch"
NO the only way I wish to show or receive affection is by sending someone a little picture of something insulting and writing "this is you"

And this is why I cannot be poly - I don't want to kiss any of these DWEEBS
I live in what newspapers call a polycule. I did a great scheduling system for us. I've now invested nine months of development time in making it a more general purpose relationship scheduling app. I think I've overestimated the number of people in poly relationships.

This guy does not understand the concept of conversations, parties, or humour. Very peculiar.

One of the changes that OpenAI has made to make ChatGPT safer is a "take a break" nudge. There's something quite interesting about the design here. Which thing does it make you want to click?

Important His Dark Materials question. Do daemons poo? They ARE tangible; they interact with the world around them; but they are not necessarily corporeal, as they pop out of existence when we die.

Mario Kart: Double Dash contains a bizarre "eternal European pain" glitch whereby being burned when entering a pipe will cause the character to remain in pain indefinitely, but only in the European version.

Have I ever listened to Hey Jude by The Beatles? Absolutely not. It's addressed to Jude, not me. What about Annie's Song by John Denver? Nope. Not my song so none of my business. Everyone should treat the private communications of musicians with the same level of respect as I do.

There's a massive fence right across Australia called the dingo fence to keep the dingoes on one side of Australia and not the other. Did you guys know about this? Like hadrian's wall but for dingoes.

Apologies to my friends around the country but at this point I have lost track of who has a baby and who doesn't, as so many of you suddenly did it at once and (frankly) without my consent.
