Gormless - Lacking initiative, foolish

Copacetic - correct, orderly, good

I drive my electric moped every day that it’s not raining or below 40°F

It honestly wasn’t bad, and I certainly don’t see it as condemning Chappell. Honestly it’s saying it’s ridiculous to expect her to endorse a candidate or to be in the public eye 24/7. It’s very straightforward.

Not even joking, yeah. It’s a great show and there’s a reason it’s popular among LGBTQ+

Nobody has ever underestimated the frugality of a college student

Bottoms, I think

You have to do it many times to weigh the average

Maybe it was just family physically in the room? You could monitor the air composition with a video feed from elsewhere, even just a room over.

EDIT: Ok just read through the article:

“the death took place in the open air under a canopy of trees in a private forest retreat near the German border with the association’s co-president, Dr. Florian Willet, the sole person present.”

So he wasn’t present or nearby, but someone else from the company was.

Also this bit sticks out to me (emphasis mine):

“On displaying cogency and an understanding of the stakes, it becomes possible push the button to activate the process, which cannot then be aborted.”

I wonder if this is a legal sticking point? If someone presses it and immediately has second thoughts, shouldn’t they have the freedom to open it and cancel the process?

Todd Howard wants to know your location

People will often only hear slang in this context and have no idea it relates back to sex at all. This comic is very true to life. I was definitely the kid that used terms without knowing their true meaning.

Also the character in the comic may well be under 12

It costs money to host things

If this meme were a meme I’d be that guy taking the bong rip

That’s awful :( I genuinely can’t imagine how painful that is.

I’m very aware of how lucky I’ve been, and that it’s only a matter of time before that changes. My grandpa is losing his memory, and I’m going out to visit soon. I tell myself “Someday in the near future, I’ll wish I could come back to today.”

I’ve never had a close family member or friend die. I have siblings, they have families. Both my grandparents on one side are alive, the other two died when I was an infant. I have dozens of cousins that are all in good health. Closest thing was my spouse’s grandpa. I’ve been phenominally lucky.

Sure, but for every story about a selkie that wants to drag you underwater and drown you, there are several more about gnomes that want to hide your shoes or fairy people that would trap you in a 100-year party.

At the same time, old folk tales portray these creatures as wild and powerful. Generally not malevolent (certainly not godly), but not something you should mess with.

But I agree it’s the new spooky supernatural go-to. Goblincore is the new zeitgeist and I’m here for it!

Probably AI

I mean yeah. If the writers wanted to make Wakanda have white people, that would be fine.

Well, the Ariel thing is basically the same kind of ‘rewrite’.

Also Ariel isn’t even “white”… she’s a mermaid

The meme is that there is no meme, and the picture is just doctored - the sun doesn’t follow that pattern at all…
