For context, check out countrypunk’s posting history. In the last day, there’s been a lot of potash memes.
Checkmate designers!
8k is a screen resolution, so his New Year’s resolution is 8k as though maybe they just upgraded their tv/monitor (or they’re just rubbing it in as 8k is a higher res than most people have), where normally a New Year’s resolution is something where someone is trying to improve themselves in the new year (such as walking 10k steps every day, losing 10lbs, eating out less often, or learning a new skill, etc)
Also, you may find a local store or boutique that sells quirky items. One popular brand that they’ll often carry is Fred, they make lots of ridiculous items. Other brands that I’ve found over the years are Larissa Loden, and Blue Q
Ah, thank you! I don’t know how I missed that meme!
Depending on the audience, there are cute little plush things, Giant Microbes, which have a line of sexual transmitted diseases. If you get one for an SO, they can say, “13esq gave me chlamydia for Christmas…”
Other good joke gifts can come from any inside joke that you may have with your SO, so these are very situational. At one point, I had joked that my SO was a sugar mama because she was paying for something expensive for us. I later got her a t-shirt for a candy called Sugar Mama.
On one date, we were the only ones dining at an outside patio at a nicer Italian restaurant. We had ordered wood fire pizzas. Anyway, a very large rat came to visit the patio, and we had joked about it at the time, even naming the rat. I later gave her an ornament of a felt rat holding a pizza slice (which is apparently a thing).
I can’t think of any others right now, but I love giving little joke gifts to people along with real ones.
Exactly. That’s why the “13yo” kid having sex seems less worrisome.
The picture seems weird. The parent asking about emojis, ends their question with a kiss emoji? I don’t know that I buy it’s real
Thank you for posting this! I immediately thought of this public announcement of sorts when I read the question.
I forgo my vegetables, the bat shaped Reese’s are hands down the best ones!
Why is the changing her life part (losing weight and getting a divorce after seeing Bigfoot) relevant? Did she leave her husband to try to get with Bigfoot and is suing the state because they claim her new beau doesn’t exist? Wild!
I’d also be interesting in knowing if people have in-unit laundry. Being in an apartment complex where there’s 3 washers for around 50 people, it’s not feasible to wash towels after every use. That also sounds very wasteful!
I shower every other day, and change the towels after a couple of weeks. The schedule is based on when they can get washed (laundry gets done every two weeks for clothes, and so it’s based on the availability of doing extra loads), or at the first sign of a smell or stain.
Bedding gets changed on a monthly basis for the same reasons, again, unless there’s a smell or stain.
Give it a couple years… and then a few more.
In that case, does it become a weed box? Is a bread box still a “bread box” if it doesn’t contain bread?
Noting a correction is part of a larger scope of annotating something. From Wikipedia:
There is also a two-thousand-year-old character used by Aristarchus of Samothrace called the asteriskos, ※, which he used when proofreading Homeric poetry to mark lines that were duplicated. Origen is known to have also used the asteriskos to mark missing Hebrew lines from his Hexapla. The asterisk evolved in shape over time, but its meaning as a symbol used to correct defects remained.
In the Middle Ages, the asterisk was used to emphasize a particular part of text, often linking those parts of the text to a marginal comment. However, an asterisk was not always used.
Aristarchus of Samothrace was from c. 220 – c. 143 BC, so it’s been used for notation since at least then!
Just spitballing an idea. Along the lines of airdrop, does the instructor have a machine that the kids can send their music to when they’re done? This would create a backup, which the instructor could then organize and upload to a server (google drive?) that can be shared with the iPads as read only, so the kids could redownload the file again if need be.
The two yotes…
