TIL I learnt that I am a destroyer of civilisations!

Unlimited powaaaaaaa!

Nah, we just need to go back to the old pronunciation.*

“Knight” used to be pronounced as it’s spelt. “Outside” used to said like oot-si-deh.

*I am actually just kidding about that first part, but I do find it fascinating how much the spoken word has moved away from the originally phonetic spelling.

Doyle was the high school star
Everybody thought he’d go real far But he didn’t take a thing from the classes he took Because he just wasn’t interested in his books
🎶

I still say “holy cremola” when I’m shocked. People think it’s a Batman reference, but I learnt it from Doyle!

To “eh state”? Is that what Trump calls Canada now?

Sorry, I’ll get my coat.

That’s why I love being an auntie, but don’t want kids of my own. I love hanging around with the kids, but that’s only because I know I can send them back to their parents when I’m tired of them. The responsibility of looking after budgies by myself for almost 15 years (more if you count the childhood family pets) was enough. As much as I miss having birds, I’m ready to retire from any caregiving commitments.

So there shouldn’t be a stigma around a mother paying or accepting donated milk from another lactating woman. But we’re still at the stage where feeding a synthetic concoction made from a different species’ breastmilk is okay, but saying another woman breastfeeds your baby would get you weird looks. Wet nurses used to be a thing!

You can have copper instead.

True. I personally know two men who have experienced long term physical and emotional abuse from a female partner and neither would ever report it. One still takes the blame for it, the other says it’s not as bad if a woman does it to a man and he knows he won’t be believed anyway.

You guys get ads?

My nephew was mad about vacuums up till he was about 5 or 6, and I used to watch vacuum videos with him. There was one kid called numaticrules or something who had a massive collection of Numatic vacuums (the Henry family of vacs). And another channel called Vacsock, which was a guy who just vacuumed up socks.

I wish he watched that stuff still instead of the skibidi crap he watches now.

I’m surprised he hasn’t already tried this line of defence. “I’m on the list because I was saving the kids! My name’s only on there because I was on Epstein’s list of enemies!”

What, Priti Patel is a newsreader now?

Has it stopped the nonsense of GB News? YouTube loves pushing their videos and they’ve very similar thumbnails.

Sky News UK isn’t a Murdoch operation anymore and the Aussie one is. That’s the main difference.

I think you could convince some people that there should be a breathing tax.

Can you believe there are people who want universal healthcare? I mean, imagine getting cancer and expecting the state to pay for your treatment! Ugh!

/s in case it wasn’t obvious

Nope. Autistic here. I’ve always kept two sets of bed linen (doesn’t everyone?) and after I’ve stripped the old one and shoved it in the laundry pile, the new sheets will often just sit on my chair for a few hours, while I get distracted with other things.

I wouldn’t recommend it for touchscreens tbh. Having the common letters close to each other just causes problems. And autocorrect doesn’t seem to understand I’m using a Dvorak layout. I’m just used to it now and like to have my keyboards matching. It’s great for physical keyboards though.

Fellow Dvorak. It’s great for typos on touchscreens. Too many times I’ve mistyped whole and all.

I had that problem at first, but it wasn’t too hard to adapt.
