I hear lyrebirds in Australia mimic what sounds like human noises sometimes and it’s weird.

It’s rare and isn’t as “spot on” as documentaries make it out to be, but when it happens it’s always been when rock climbing in an area for most of the day and sometimes one comes along. They seem to pick up on the noises hikers and climbers make in those areas, which is mostly talking, laughing, cheering, etc. But like, it sounds nothing like another human, but you know that’s what it’s heard because it sounds like humans in the distance, just 10-20m away. Then they mix in random bird calls and it’s fun to guess each bird it’s trying to be.

It’s kind of surreal; certainly interesting. Terrible distraction when you’re supposed to be belaying someone who’s halfway up a cliff 🤣

I’d be surprised if it lasted longer than any other socially progressive trend. A few weeks, tops, with largest proportions falling off in the first week.

This is the reality of social momentum these days. Resistance is no threat because it has extremely brief lifespan before moving onto the next thing to be a part of.

Oh, yeah. I forgot Ametica is racist so people do think about those things there.

Yeah, but you get to feel like you’re a democracy and you’re participating at least, right?

Literally just shows up as a headline for me. I’m wondering how it was calculated and if it’s also factoring globalisation shift where the US will lose out to other countries if it’s financially more viable to seek manufacturing or consumer markets elsewhere, losing foreign revenue, consumer income for expenditure, etc.

Getting desperate. No one would care if Harris worked a junior role there or not. Almost no one would care about their job history in general.

That’s exactly how it felt. Like her imagination had daydreamed the scene long enough, it was time to put it out to the universe and be approached by all those agents and producers crammed in the commuter carriage of the inner south line.

I’ve been stuck on a train with a girl wearing headphones and singing along to Savage Garden. We all suffered.

She was even shutting her eyes tight and doing these ones…

If you’ve ever listened to just the vocals of a song without music, it was that, but also awfully off-key because she, of course, could not hear herself. Obnoxiously, I think she thought she was putting on a performance we were all impressed by. No one was impressed.

Possibly. People that have allergic reactions to venomous stings can see it for multiple insects, though it’s not common. The only way to know is testing, by whacking a stick on the nests of different wasp species and taking note if any make you anaphylactic. If you’re all good, you can be more assured it’s just bees, but nothing’s 100% certain until you aggravate insects with a stick and test.

I sometimes use an LLM to “tidy up” my work and paste a bunch of writing in to see if it comes up with anything better. Some parts it will, others it won’t, and I’ll use or tweak some of it. I wonder if that counts? It’s all my work going in, but it’s using other people’s work to make adjustments.

“Chad” is really making a come back. Or has it been so long now the younger gen is picking it up?

You’d be wrong to assume not every village is riddled with its own idiots. The social division isn’t there because of one side; it doesn’t work that way.

If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be relaxing, I’d be doing shit that might have me enjoy relaxing later. Relaxing when not needing to relax is just making excuses for slothfulness lol

I dunno. Todd could be exaggerating…

Yep, Todd probably was entertained.

There is too much to cover here.

As I said earlier, you clearly have minimal alignment of the primary understandings most others have. For starters, it’s clear you don’t even understand the premise of NATO.

This is like me projecting opinions about cars when I think they’re made of wood and drawn by horses.

You’re either a troll or you’re peaking on the Dunning-Kruger graph based on some obscure and narrow-scoped details you may have garnered. It’s so small picture and fundamentally flawed or entirely untrue.

I go a step further and block them in DDG. This includes any “article” I have to scroll through to find the answer.

The middle-aged man knows that’s exactly what every other middle-aged man and those older than them are thinking.

The snake eating its tail in preparation. Or, preparing for the snake eating its tail.

I’m classy. I make my partner wait while I get it on the TV so they don’t have to move.

Isn’t that what we do? Dumb fuck zookeepers lol

And that circles back to my original point.
