I was really depressed for the last two days because I left my ring on the lawn and the crows stole it BC shiny. It's irreplaceable and Akkas gave it to me two years ago so I was devastated. I dredged the pond and used a metal detector all over the lawn but it was gone. But today I cooked the crows bacon in the morning and this afternoon it was returned RIGHT WHERE I LEFT THE BACON!!!!!

Are cloaks considered cool again yet. Its really the only fashion trend i keep cheering for a comeback.

Here is a neat little trick to help you remeber the names of the five great lakes.

@Sophistifunk Her son seems to be quite aware of that based on where he is staring.

Would be creepy as fuck if he did it just so he could wack off to his own mom though.

@freemo
I imagine how he started the conversation...
"Mom, if you keep working as a nurse I will never be able to afford a proper gaming rig.
You know... My friends think you're quite sexy. Wouldn't it be better to get some good money by shaking your tits for them?"

@Gina aws can honestly be a bit dizzying. I highly recommend you learn from the command line since it can be hard to remember all the steps in the GUI. I have some scripts that bring up systems from scratch, not just the computer but the whole VLAN that might be useful.

Apparently using *they* as a singular pronoun (to use instead of *he* and *she*) is hardly a new phenomenon. It dates back to 1375 in written records!

In fact, singular *you* is much more recent! Dating back to the 17th century! 😂

Oh, this quote's fun, and it shows that our gender-related issues has been going on for centuries:

> In 1794, a contributor to the New Bedford Medley mansplains to three women that the singular they they used in an earlier essay in the newspaper was grammatically incorrect and does no ‘honor to themselves, or the female sex in general.’ To which they honourably reply that they used singular they on purpose because ‘we wished to conceal the gender,’ and they challenge their critic to invent a new pronoun if their politically-charged use of singular they upsets him so much.

I'd say it's probably safe to use *they* in general. I do use singular *they* regularly and it's the least fuss imo.
