Both, but I think I’m fighting a losing battle: I fairly often encounter statements that are completely nonsensical *unless* you interpret “porn” as necessarily being video (and in many cases, as being necessarily mass-produced and for-profit).

So everyone knows that the whole “winged human” depiction of angels is more of a renaissance art thing, and angels are actually supposed to look like weird otherworldly monsters with many eyes and six wings and things like that.
Except that doesn’t sound otherworldly at all. That sounds like the most common group of animals in the world.
Many eyes? Insects can have thousands.
Six wings? While most winged insects have only 2-4, there’s a few species that can have 6.
Conclusion: angels are talking bugs. Thanks for coming to my ted talk
GIANT talking bugs. That explains the whole “be not afraid” thing…
nature documentary but the narration is just weird enough to make you question it
“Some fish can walk out of water, so remember that next time.”
“You might think you’re safe, but horses are omnivores”
please watch the round planet on netflix it’s exactly like that

I don’t get seasonal depression, I just get slightly sleepier and more irritable and mopey when I don’t get any sunlight, but when I said this to my doctor she was like “you should still get a lightbox” and I did and now I have way more energy.
The moral of the story is, if you spend time thinking to yourself “well I don’t actually have [diagnosable problem], I have [milder version that I can just ignore]”, you could instead of just ignoring it get the accommodation for the problem and see if it improves your life. I do not expect to remember this next time I “don’t actually have the real problem”, but maybe eventually I will learn.

#yes this #(though for this *particular* case I managed to skip the doctor part and go straight to the buying-a-lightbox part)
Tell Miles, the wind whispers, that he’s a little bitch.
It’s only through years of long practice that Dyta’s able to keep a straight face. The King’s name is Miles? Everyone just sort of assumed he was named after his great grandfather, King Raymus since that’s what he’s written all over the kingdom. She tries to remember if she’s ever heard of a Prince Miles–
“Well?” King Raymus (Miles) asks. He looks down his nose at Dyta, thin lips thinning further. His knuckles are white around his gaudy scepter. “What did the Wind say? Will my reign be remembered? Am I truly the greatest King across the six kingdoms?”
There’re actually 208 kingdoms, the wind hisses out from underneath the door. Which Miles would know if he weren’t a little bitch.
“Yes,” Dyta blurts out. The guards’ glares have been growing each moment she’s been silent and she’s not interested in finding out at what point they use the spears they’re holding. “Super remembered.” She brings her hands up, trying to gesture just how remembered the King is, but the shackles around her wrists hinder the movement. “The wind knows your truth, King Raymus, and it spreads that truth across the globe.”
You never interpret correctly, the wind whines through the gaps in the stone walls. You are the worst wind-speaker I’ve met in centuries.
Dyta’s the only wind-speaker in centuries. That’s why she’s in this whole prisoner mess to begin with. It’s just luck that King Mi-Raymus is vain enough to spend the majority of her captivity asking after what the world thinks of him.
There are much worse applications of her ability. Spying, for example. And assassination, though she tends to stay away from that one, much to the wind’s chagrin.
Like all headlines ending in question marks, the answer is no.

But wait: There’s more!
I forgot my thrice-damned chargers. Both phone and laptop. If I can’t borrow one tomorrow, I’ll be offline until Friday evening.

I’ve been compiling a pre-made general-purpose packing list on my laptop, listing things I’d want to pack for any trip. (I may add sub-sections for different types/seasons of trip, haven’t decided yet.) Maybe you could do something similar to prepare for next time.
(I also keep my phone charger in the same pouch where I keep my phone, thus ensuring it is very difficult to bring my phone and not bring my charger, but that advice might be harder to generalise.)
Good idea wrt list! Thanks!

No horse in these races can have the same name as any other horse that has ever entered in the history of horseracing. They had appropriate ones at first. Then, slowly, like profiles on the Gaia forums, all the good user IDsURLshorse names got taken. Currently, they’re being named by rich old white guys. If our generation ever starts participating in this, I anticipate solemn-faced announcers on ESPN498 speculating on the Vegas odds for x_FURY-666-WRATH_x.
I look forward to TheRealDrizztDo’Urden69 taking the Triple Crown.
Not necessarily. If you’re creative enough, you can invent a euphoninic name that no one has ever used before. Or, if you aren’t, you can just make a computer do it for you like ilzolende did.
I look forward to Ilzolende taking the Triple Crown.
Can I train you, ilzolende? I want to be the very best, like no one ever was….

Drive North until the nice man with the flashlight asks you about “the purpose of your visit”
Ask a local/townie for the temperature
Boom, instant Celsius.
Optional: Maybe settle down and never come back
