I've had suspicious about the little one for a while now.

Just now, I'm standing on my porch, and I see a bird fly down to the sidewalk. She then walks across the street as fast as her little legs can take her. Once she reaches the other side, she flys off.

I laughed and thought "That's some shit I would do and have no idea why."

Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?

Avocado. I heard much about these fruits/berries/whatever. But I am a poor guy from a very poor and totally non-tropical country. So apples and carrots are the sweetest things around and apples become too expensive too.

Still I bought a few. Just out of curiosity. It tastes like... butter block. Internet says that it should be this way. So... Why people eat it? Maybe it is bad alone and\or raw, but after some preparation it is delicious?

Am I missing something?

As a kid, Diet Coke was all my mom ever bought, so I spent years getting used to it.

I dont drink much soda anymore, but it seems the last few times I've had a can of Diet Coke, it's just not good. It seems more bland than ever before. I don't seem to dislike any other sodas more than I used to.

Anyone else notice this?

I can't drop Xbox, it's what I have and I'm going to use it, but I did decide that I was not going to bend over for the new price tiers.

You can buy 3 months of Essential for $25. Thus lowering their revenue by $11.66 a month per person. If enough people do the same (or cancel completely if it's a reasonable option.) we can make them feel it in their bottom line!

This all started for me when Starfield came out. I couldn't get past the tutorial because it would crash within ten minutes of staying up the game. I never did get to play it. I had similar issues with Avowed, Doom Middle Ages, Oblivion Remastered, and now Borderlands 4. I called Xbox support and ift course they had me reinstall, factory reset, change Mac address, and all that, only to listen to me play for ten minutes before it crashed yet again. The kids can play Siege, Fortnite and Roblox all day long with no issues, but I can't get even get to the first bandit camp in BL4.

I know that most people aren't having this issue, but there is a significant number of people on Reddit complaining about the same issues on the exact same games. I barely touch my Xbox anymore because I'm getting frustrated with not being able to play any of the games I want to play.

Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions, solutions, or success getting Microsoft to give a shit?

The Internet says it's an oil beetle. I've never seen one of those before.

Great news everyone! I've just been offered a position to remotely train an AI and I can make up to $6000 a day!

Yeah, right.

I'm in the middle of a conversation with someone who randomly instant messaged me. I like to play dumb with these people and then occasionally throw some obscure questions at them and watch them squirm, or just toss subtle insults in my replies.

Anyone else get a kick out of messing with these scammers? Any particular shenanigans you like to throw at them, out any good stories that have come from it?

22 years ago (has it really been THAT long?), we got rid of this law.

I think everybody should wear a helmet every time. Not wearing a helmet is extremely stupid and dangerous. I've known lots of people who have riden without a helmet and have been fine, but I also had a cousin that died that way.

That being said, this feels like a "protect me from myself" or "we'll decide for you, since you can't be trusted to make good choices." law. I think I'd rather it stay the way it is, let people make their own poor choices.

I'm curious what others think.
