i totally feel you. for close friends / acquaintances:

• sleep deprived? reply: gg, rip
• stuck in traffic? reply: rip, gg
• plans didn’t pan out? reply: gg

ooooh, what a politically loaded word. there’s a familiar clarence thomas mention there too.

bork rings a bell for me. from the sweedish chef. my headcanon is when you try to work but totally borked it. the original intention may be different.

sus. suspicious. easier to say and since everybody almost knows it, they can easily catch on. totally not “jesus”.

gg/rip. good game. i find very flexible to use and feels like it’s acceptable in most circumstances to mean “it’s over”.

yes. i like the idea of federated communities. even obscure interests have its place as long as there’s a community or enough interest to set up an instance.

imo, it takes a kind of effort to be constantly “aware” and “battling/ avoiding” depression. it would be nice if the brain just auto-switches in battle-mode but that’s not its natural state.

As for how I battle my own, I do hobbies like plants, walking and reading; and sleeping. Sometimes I do cheat days.

there’s usually signs for me to help decide:

• yawning, teary-eyed: I need to top-off sleep
• eyes tired of being closed and/ or mind already wandering: time to get up
• if not those, I can always stay in bed longer and chill

Ads. But only when the ad doesn’t stan.

The ones that invade privacy, I feel, are taking too much advantage.

glad you found a good fit! i could see how wide feet can be a tough pick for getting the comfiest socks.

I couldn’t think of any public trust that’s going to benefit to a buy out like this.

To me, it totally makes sense for a private entity/ corpo to handle private data [with consent] from its clients.

I see this as more like the old 23andMe had a private service going on that can’t the public sector doesn’t. It doesn’t make sense for the government the size of USA to prioritize/suddenly adjust policies and provide the same service.

What could be possible is for local governments to step up via public petitions – but even that could be a stretch in terms of cash-in-hand.

super soft fuzzy home slippers.

they’re just cozy and very comfy.

also wool socks or any thick socks – really comfy.

might be just for the preservation of its theme/origin. it is really old-timey.

grit your teeth / grit those teeth comes to mind.

although it doesn’t have to be short in terms of time, just temporarily.

also the old timey gird up your loins

hmmm, the tao of bill & ted kinda works for me.

in my case, there’s people i tend to always see the same comment-style and so their name sticks.

depending on the sub, that could be good or bad.

“womp”

but usually funnier when used as a pair

the teacher will be fine, if the goal is just lecturing. students, on the other hand, will need more that sheer willpower if they want to absorb anything lectured.

i think the sweet spot should be lesser than 40 as I had my struggles learning in a class of 40ish.

make a fallout shelter and have some isolated communities there live off purely of either one of meta, apple, or alphabet products (or any large enough multinational like nestle).

all for the science of understanding addiction and brand cultism.

yes, this method doesn’t lose any bits. one of its primary use before was email which was strictly text only.

technically, yes. all unprintable binary can be resolved to 64 printable characters. but that resulting string may not be english or any human language.
