That was all I was asking for I wasn’t saying you were wrong I would just like you to make it more clear.
Humans have a high intelligence, but most humans just accept their life and live with it without be curious of other aspects of life they have not experienced
So like elephants and apes?
But then what counts a low intelligence animal?
Ants and bees with their set professions?
Maybe low intelligence would be the worker bees while the queen be would have a medium or high amount of intelligence? Idk
But I fr gotta sleep now lol
i don't think this is because they're incapable of curiosity, they've just grown up in a situation where they don't see a need
I guess in order to test for curiosity, people would have to take away rewards or perhaps make rewards earned by completing complex tasks
i think it'd be good to define what "curiosity" means first
I guess you are correct, since most animals dont have a need to ask questions they would just accept their life
as in
they still have curiosity
they still apply it in certain situations
but not everyone applies their curiosity in the same place
Humans have grown past the need to be very curious though wouldnt you think? If we stopped all research right now, we would still live for maybe a couple decades or more. Perhaps humans are a species that is able to think ahead which makes them stand out from other animals
We can "see" that with how much our population grows, we wouldnt last as a species if we didnt keep growing
Which would make humans have the need for curiousity
-ing rn 
I wish we had more of that in the US
Astronomy Pic of the Day: Jones Emberson 1
Explanation: Planetary nebula Jones-Emberson 1 is the death shroud of a dying Sun-like star. It lies some 1,600 light-years from Earth toward the sharp-eyed constellation Lynx. About 4 light-years across, the expanding remnant of the dying star's atmosphere was shrugged off into interstellar space, as the star's central supply of hydrogen and then helium for fusion was depleted after billions of years. Visible near the center of the planetary nebula is what remains of the stellar core, a blue-hot white dwarf star. Also known as PK 164 +31.1, the nebula is faint and very difficult to glimpse at a telescope's eyepiece. But this deep image combining over 12 hours of exposure time does show it off in exceptional detail. Stars within our own Milky Way galaxy as well as background galaxies across the universe are scattered through the clear field of view. Ephemeral on the cosmic stage, Jones-Emberson 1 will fade away over the next few thousand years. Its hot, central white dwarf star will take billions of years to cool.
Replace the buses with trams and you get melbourne cbd
sorry for usaians "Downtown"
I basically recreated this

@mint spear hey saw you posting in other channels but thought I’d ask here
Do you speak Japanese? Those characters spell mirukii not miki
So just wondering if it’s an englishised name
no i am weeb
ik it spells that because my username is Mylkie but ppl like to call me miki instead

I organized my discord server list and it's less stressful now lol

Do you have folders now?
I had folders before, but there were too many and I kept forgetting to use them
Oh
Now I have three folders. One for servers I only check occasionally for updates, one for servers I only use for emotes, and the third is servers I or a friend has made that I never use but don't wanna leave
And the ones I check regularly are t in a folder
Aren't
I may steal that idea
Currently have it set up as categories of interest I follow
I only ended up organizing cuz I got tired of having to scroll to get to servers I actually use
Oh, I have it set up asy main ones I keep up to date are not in folders
Also have a random drawing progress
Excellent

Weeeesstt virginiiaaa 🎵

which city?
Yep we are the mini new york of the southern hemisp[here
depends
where you are
Id say def safer than ny lmao
yeah I imagine in the suburbs, it can get rowdy
that doesnt really happen alot alot, def not ny level
yeah I mean that, not like stealing stuff or pickpocketing
thats fine
I live in a small city in Belgium, it's pretty calm here
im def not trying to defend myself here
you have trams yes?
our capital Brussels is a real cesspool
yeah we have trams in the west of the country, near the coast
the big cities also have trams
we are the only city that really kept our trams
adeliade has a few lines left
and sydney is rebuilding theirs
we turned some heavy rail lines into trams lol
This is a new station set to open, right now it leads to an empty field, but high rises are on the rise
I always get the capital and name of belgium mixed up lol
and for any tram train people a new station with tram train and bus and bike
So by the looks of it you have street level tram and bus interhcnage, one level down you have shops, then another level down is the train
weve got squirrels....natures natural little speedbumps xD
We have tresspasers natures train delayer
turn em into speedbumps too ! xD
does it really take 30 mins to get a guy out of the train area?
when security is paid by the hour xD

If I had a car that would be the only song on replay on the radio.
and if people complained, I would switch it up just for them....
"NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!"
I haven't played that in years lol
me neither, still have it installed though
I had it installed on a few of my phones over the years
I still play
Not as much due to being in the sticks and it’s not as easy as the city
But enough
My father got super into it. Made an Exel spreadsheet for it

I’ve done that with previous games. Not for this though. I’m friends with one of the authors on pokemon go hub so I speak to him daily and he guides me, much easier lol
Fancy
Take that!, Default Templates!
Spicy
Most of the latest pokemon stuff is all totally new to me. I played the original way back in the day and between then and 2016 nothing, 2016 played Go for a few months and got bored. Then picked it up again during covid lockdown. Since then I got Arceus and played that and still dabble in Go daily
Otherwise the whole stories of the ones in between
🤷🏻♂️
Most of America looks like that lol the suburbs are usually clustered around the cities
People (not you) tend to forget how massive the US is in both landmass , resources ECT
Pretty similar size to Costa Rica if you consider it on the scale of the solar system, even more so on the galactic scale 🤓
But yeah it’s big locally to this little ball of water and dust
No power since 5am Monday
My neighborhood was attacked by sentinels
Hurricane Beryl 🌀
Still over 1.3 million without power. [I charge my phone in car lol]
Bit like your willy
Nah mate, that one’s way smaller. We are talking atomic scale there sadly
It's times like this we all wish we had a bunker
Same here, I think they've developed a new microscope just for us
Yikes. Hope you and yours are safe and accounted for
Holy shit, that tree looks like it used to be in the ground
Aside from losing 600$ in food, a few roof shingles and being in 98° heat without AC for a week... we are safe.
Are you insured for that stuff?
Hope everyone is ok x
I ask my friend why he still lives in Oklahoma, with tornadoes and hail stones the size of footballs
Only 9 people were killed, none from.our neighborhood. Those pictures are JUST my neighborhood.
This was a cat 1 storm. Aka, "weak". It was just a direct hit lol
Insurance will reimburse some, FEMA will help some as well.
Most importantly... my PS5 and NMS saves are all SAFE.

But, probably no power for at least a few more days
The same power that took us over the oceans eh
Well, thank fuck the cloud can't be affected by hurricanes
That’s the main thing to be honest. Happy to hear you’re all accounted for safely
Hold on a minute
I think that's part of the conspiracy
Hurricanes are getting more frequent because we put all our stuff in the clouds
Hurricanes are more frequent because we are heating the Ocean's.
More easily sustainable due to our heating the atmosphere
No. AI and BITCOIN farms are doing the most damage
All the farms, I'm using them because I've cut down things at home that use energy
Don't even have a PC anymore
That's reminds me, need to put in smart sockets when I move
We're installing solar soon, only way we'll keep power year round.
This is a the 3rd week-long period without power... in the city the produces more power than anywhere else in the world.
Centerpoint energy company is known locally as "Centerpointless". But, they have a monopoly due to Texas not being connected to the national grid.
My old place had solar, only a few panels on the roof for heating water but it was good
If I buy a flat I won't have a roof though so can't install them, have to find a solution. I saw that they have built some thinner lighter ones now so might look into it
looks a little bit like the areas between almost twin cities here in aus
This is in the suburbs, in the far background you can make out a road
texas not connecterd to the usa grid????? Even tassie is connected to Australian Grid while not even being physically connected by land
Infact i think tassie exports more power usally
The Basslink () electricity interconnector is a 370 km (230 mi) 500 MW (670,000 hp) high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cable linking the electricity grids of the states of Victoria and Tasmania in Australia, crossing Bass Strait, connecting the Loy Yang Power Station, Victoria on the Australian mainland to the George Town substation in northern ...
Texus should make Tex-link there a corprate nickname
morning all
good moring
its not funny really...
they contract out to other carriers too
those "low cost" providers use larger companies resources
oh then im find potus isnt really low cost and has its town netowork all good
are you affected tho?
i dont think so, but im checking
so my carrier uses ATT hardware, but its not stored with ATT
oh
well
i hope youll be fine, just be careful of messages proboly an increase in spam
This why I use telegram
i send morse code personally

scrawling on the walls of caves
both
lmao and morse code to the armies
in the grreat emu war
NO we advanced in the other direction
lmao
I wanna see if anyone else gets this, are there any aussies lurking, and this is stolen from reddit
No, Texas is the only state not connected to the national grid, by state law
And this is the 3rd multi-day blackout this year. The first was a rainstorm. Then a wind storm. And this time a Cat 1 storm.
Cat storm ?
Me storm
Why does yt want my lisece so I can watch an age restricted video, even though my google account says im over 18?
BECAUSE YOU LIE!

YouTube can be finicky...my Music will stop saying it's being used by another account -_-
they "updated: the guidlines
it either wants my photo- Im on pc, my credit card- dont have one, or id- no way
Their way of trying to gain more data...typical of Google
they alresady have my debit card 😭
Oh they probably have everything of me by now 
ERCOT is a complete joke but people want to empower those in charge and...well, political stuff.

@pale meadow took me a while to find it… seems I talk a lot of shit here. This is it. The cottages will be demolished and replaced with two small houses eventually. One at a time.

Aren't you in aus?
You might want to check censorship laws in the outback. Shit might be getting hijacked by conservative agendas.
Youtube censorship abides regional legislation.

No its not that they said its sexual? Even though it sint and it isnt anything political
No they tried censorship laws online and they revered it after some protests i belive
That's because someone reported the video then, right or wrong as sexual
It's an automative process on youtube and the author never challenged it

Welp, I emailed the hiring lady at work asking if I can transfer inside. Here's hoping 
I think I was missed a lot

I wanna touch him

That you said he poops like every 15 mins. 
And you bought another one
You mean adopted another one
Actually no we're both incorrect. It was summoned.
Secret birb ritual 
Funny masks n everything
Yep
But both pretty much trained completely to go in designated spots. Max has learned in five days pretty well.
(Summoning)
What kinda transfer?
Is the hiring lady on site?
Goodluck
I hope you get a promotion. Spirit needs a new lambo. (jk)
Used is fine.
Btw, @steady vale, there’s a plethora of updates in the pet thread, not sure if you saw them. If so then feel free to disregard and tell me to shut it 🙂
I have not, I'll take a look. I haven't been on discord as much lately 
Not a problem. Hope all is well.
I'm so boared, I'm watching Madame Web
I've been playing Once Human. It's starting to get boring...

im watching ...stuff

One of those great commercials that fit the personality of the pitchman. This one was easy to remember. Thanks George Lois!
I have a lambo
heh
What I need is more books tbh
The ones on my Amazon wishlist especially. Lmao
This makes no sense to me. I paid extra to get my groceries before 8PM...and the website says delivery by 8:32.
Don’t you love delivery systems
I'm watching it being shopped live.
That's the only thing I like about this company.
I can see every time they find something get checked off my list.
I can update to change my options/choices live.
I ordered groceries mainly because I ran out of ice cream cones.
Mum won't eat her ice cream in a bowl like a peasant.
thats actually pretty cool
ugh i forgot to make my bed this morning so now i gotta make it 😩
Too f**k’n right. Good on her. Cones are the only way.
im a bowl man myself, mainly cause im so messy with ice cream 
I like bowls because I have toppings I stow away to put on top
got ice cream in a waffle cone while at the beach last weekend, and halfway through the entire waffle cone broke in half, and all of my ice cream fell on the ground.

That doesn't even look like ice cream
That looks like mayo squeezed from an icing dispenser.
barf
That man makes me so angry rn. The number of people he scammed lately and lied about
mayo doesn't keep its shape like that
Then to have the nerve and act like he's the victim
I used to repair VCRs for money. That was fun.
The cost of parts sky rocketed as the technology became obsolete and pretty much tanked any business with a focus on cathode ray tvs and vcrs

But just a bunch of Debras singing "That outfit's not okay"

I love being better than 92.2% of players (Celeste)
nintendo is the reason we have modern gaming.
u would all still be playing galaga and dumping quarters in pinball machines if not for nintendo.
There were the various pong style consoles before that, but the 2600 is the first poplar "true" console imo
there were several atari models before the 2600
yikes
the 2600 was popular with enthusiasts for its hardware capabilities
Yeah I think the 2600 is where it all took off though
I think I had an Atari 800XL
Don't believe the hype. That's based on inflation since then. That doesn't properly gauge the value of a dollar in $1977. Back then you could buy bread for under 50 cents.
A dollar stretched a long way, meaning people had more money to spend.
These calculators using inflation as a gauge of pricing aren't really fair or based on the real weight of the currency of the times.

Tbh it would be better to compere the price to median salary if we want to assess its value at the time
Price calculated with inflation calculator shows only how bad Inflation got
I'd just compare it to something you can buy today, that you could buy then
Bread.
Bread as a percentage of the cost of the object then versus now.
Bread is something that always hangs low on the impact of inflation
Mostly because there are always options to keep it low
and an incentive to, from governments
Though $189 is still expensive back in 1977. You could buy a used car for a little more then that.
(In north America)
Uh, I was there... 😂

I think comparing the price to a used car makes it seem much worse tbh 😂
Consoles and gaming have gotten much cheaper all things considered
500$ dollar console is around 25% of minimum monthly salary in Belgium
(250 500g loaves of bread)
But it's also around 66% of Polish minimal monthly salary
( around 570 500g loaves of bread)
🤔
US federal min wage is atrocious and has not kept pace with things.
You could barely buy 2 PS5s with a month worth of federal min wage in the US
My state is almost double that, but our cost of living is really high
it's a trick to lull you into letting down your defenses
atari doesnt count. There were soooo many atari clones near the end of the video gaming market crash when the hero, Nintendo, came through and revitalized the genre.
Also i included galaga in my OP, so as to specifically exclude atari from having any credit in this potential discussion. 🙂
Lol fair enough, but be that as it may, many of us were into games before NIntendo came into the picture.
we even had an IntelliVision
True. The 2600 did have some bangers, namely pitfall, burgertime and space invaders.
My point is that the atari is equivalent to the invention of the airplane, while nintendo was the saturn v rocket that got us into space
Burger time 🥺 space invaders 🥺
u havent lived until u got slapped hard by a sentient hotdog
Have a picture of my hair just deciding I never tried to dye it purple today
Pitfall was epic
true. Those scorpions dont eff around 😭
So true
if u do, you will have to maintain it, otherwise it will fade into a bleak hue of purple. It looks great as it is btw 🙂
I've had my hair dyed before
This is after the dye just decided not to take
My hair hates purple. It almost never works in it lol
thats AFTER u died it purple?
Yep. That's how much it didn't work. It's just my normal hair still
did u bleach b4hand?
No. Don't have bleach. And usually don't have to, at least with other colors
Didn't with pink a few years ago and it was really nice and bright. Wonder if I can find a pic
There. The pink from a few years ago
Also love how it looked when I took the braids out the stylist did
dont u wish ur hair could just look like that all the time
post untangled braids are top tier
I do like it a lot

so pretty
what's that? a backpack? or just a stuffed unicorn?
That is our hopes and dreams, tossed away
Also found a cat, might keep it
The braids made your hair look crimped.
Just make sure if you start crimping you don't leave it in for too long....
I was wondering why discord wasn't working, too much gorgeous

Never give money to homeless unicorns begging on the street
Hey. Look. Wise guy.
It can happen to any of us, ok
Is that what happened to you 
Purhaps we were looking at it in a different perspective. Humans seem to be very purpose driven in everything they do, from being religious, to do everyday chores. We feel the need to find purpose in everything we do in order to actually do such thing. Maybe animals dont desire purpose other than to survive, we have grown past the need to spend all day trying to survive, we have grown so much as a society that life is boring without a purpose. Perhaps animals cant "see past" the need to survive like we have with discovering agriculture and all that. Maybe I'm just yapping. Ikd
i mean a lot of what we have is because of the need to survive
Everything that is living is purpose driven. Many animals (not just human ones) risk their lives (the opposite of survive) to protect their kin and territory. It's easy to cover every single thing an animal does under the blanket of survival, since the ambiguity of that term covers everything a creature needs to live, which begs the question "What is living?" and in so doing undermines the premise that doing anything is not already in some form surviving.
Purpose is as much survival as instinct.
A lot of research is done because of a feeling of survival.
weapons, first aid equipment and medications developed during WWII is a good example.
^
Perhaps animals purpose is to follow their primitive needs, food/sleep/"love". Apparently we all crave those 3 things equally
agriculture isn’t "looking past the need to survive", it’s making survival a lot easier
Tell that to people with eating disorders and insomnia who are also antisocial
Robert Sapolsky has some great material about the uniqueness of humans
People are animals.
Exactly
Still, it they are hungry or sleep, they would still want food or sleep equally as bad
An eating disorder just means you cant get enough of a craving
It doesnt really mean you crave is more than anything else. If you were to not eat or sleep. You would want both of those things equally as bad. Not one put over the other
It was a good talk but I got to sleep again. I thank you for your input

hi all
It is the end
Of days
I just got my insta hacked because I fell for a malicious link
I feel like the biggest idiot rn
it happens to the best of us
No, it doesn't
Fair, the best of us dont click random links 
I want to send a fake link that looks incredibly suspicious to be funny, but that actually sounds like an awful idea so I’m not gonna do that
fairly certain hyperlinking is disabled anyways
naming links is disabled on this server
Is it?

Astronomy Pic of the Day: Solar System Family Portrait
Explanation: In 1990, cruising four billion miles from the Sun, the Voyager 1 spacecraft looked back to make this first ever Solar System family portrait. The complete portrait is a 60 frame mosaic made from a vantage point 32 degrees above the ecliptic plane. In it, Voyager's wide-angle camera frames sweep through the inner Solar System at the left, linking up with ice giant Neptune, the Solar System's outermost planet, at the far right. Positions for Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are indicated by letters, while the Sun is the bright spot near the center of the circle of frames. The inset frames for each of the planets are from Voyager's narrow-field camera. Unseen in the portrait are Mercury, too close to the Sun to be detected, and Mars, unfortunately hidden by sunlight scattered in the camera's optical system. Closer to the Sun than Neptune at the time, small, faint Pluto's position was not covered. In 2024 Voyager 1, NASA’s longest-running and most-distant spacecraft, is some 15 billion miles away, operating in interstellar space.
That had to feel weird. I mean, the feeling of the tide and the sand on your feet already is a funny feeling, let alone ya whole face 😂
i hope that didn't hurt his face too much
creative way to get a facial 
Would’ve hurt more if he ran into a cone snail
homeboy's trying a new exfoliation technique
I would get sand in every face opening that exists if I tried that
Soul's hiring manager person said she'd talk to the asset protection lead or whatever about him switching positions btw. Since he was talking about asking her earlier
Ugh I just thought about when it dried off if he had sand up his nose he’d of inhaled that shit 😂
Ouch
Sandlung
Inhaled some microscopic sand lifeforms
Nematoads 😂
Life’s good until a crab tears out of your stomach

oh wow, Alec Baldwin has finally been acquitted for that shooting on a movie set
seems like 10 years ago already haha
I played Lies Of P last night at a friend's place
such a surprisingly amazing Souls-like game
I'm gonna buy it next week
Good stuff
how is every1 tonight?
Yeah. The prosecutor did something really fuckin stupid and dropped the ball.
He wasn't acquited
oh
The case was dismissed with prejudice.
The prosecutor was playing fast and loose with the rules of discovery.
They tried to introduce evidence that was critical to their prosecution on the 11th hour.
That violates discovery by not giving defense enough time to review the evidence
Not surprising though. The prosecutor was a dipshit from day one.
She kept interrupting in court and making erroneous objections
Court procedure is not a joke
I'm surprised the judge never issued her a contempt of court charge
This will make a great law and order episode
I am sure they are already working on an episode lol
😂😂😂
Yikes that looks horrific
Oh noes
Where is the other half??
Jeez
Nows it's down to 1 mil
Sounds like when Johnny Depp was on trial
First winter storms, now what a Cat 5 hurricane?
Please
This... was a cat 1
Only a 1???
Yep
With that kind of damage?
For next season and get Alec Baldwin to play the character himself
👀
If had been 3 or 4, we'd be gone gone
Is Houston not equipped for those kinds of Hurricanes?
The damage is widespread due to poor infrastructure and unpruned large trees
Usually (from Georgia) we barely are phased by cat 2-3
Honestly, no.
Poor infrastructure... again
That's annoying
Harris County area has almost 6 million people
And
Texas refuses to join the national power grid,
Because of reason
But also won't invest in burying our power lines
Soooo
Winds over 45mph,
We get sustained blackouts
Easily knocks powerlines
Like, Georgia still has open lines sure... but those cables are strong
Currently in my car charging phone and getting A/C rest
Same up north for us
As it's 90° with 92% humidity, inside my house
Texas sounds mad, mate of mine is a prison officer there. Apparently they have some no-hostage rule or something.
So if the guard is overrun they have to fend for themselves.
Careful not to run the battery too much without turning the engine
It's prius, auto start and stop
It's one big battery
Correct. I did that a few years ago. Quit after I had to use force
Good good.
I accidentally killed the family van because I needed to do homework
It's fucking mad mate
When he told me the situations he's been in, I did laugh at some ngl
I'm still annoyed at another disaster due to poor infrastructure
morning all
I could tell you many, torrid stories
Yo Kyle
Hiii
I love them, once things are settled over there I want to hear them
This is the 3rd multi-day power outage this year. It's only July
That's insanity
But Beryl has been the worst.
I drove around the city, where you can, as many roads are blocked by trees still, and several hundred homes are unlivable right now due to a dying cat 1 storm.
Is the state at least going to request for aid? From FEMA or something?
Everyone has lost perishables [we lost about 800$ from fridge and freezers]
Some kind of disaster relief?
The US president actually called us to offer aid, as our governor was busy in Korea
😡
Another trip?
But yes, we have been approved for FEMA
Good
there was a kpop concert =p
He thinks he's a president. 🙄
Not the plot twist I was expecting
It's just... too coincidental this is the second major disaster and he seeming took a trip out of state for it
That's unbelievably frustrating
These should literally be "power out for 2 hours" TOPS type of storms
And that's the worst case scenario. No infrastructure damage
Or... at least very minimal
so... here
Rowan is horrible to Alan causing him to leave TechTown and things start falling apart!

Snow to fall as low as 800 meters, very close to me
Your house is all fine?
There was a fire in my city a pretty big one at a factory
chemical blenders and fuel distributors, with drums containing kerosene, methylated spirits, methanol and other substances stored at the site.
They made chemical stuff
I was only 17km away from it when it happened but luckly the wind was blwoing the other way
It was a chemical fire, was explotions no one was hurt
Phew
Lucky it happended in in the west so toxic smoke didnt blow over the whole city
Derrimuit
I would call that a win
Yeah very lucky

Yes Gunter very funny
Pretty weird
On a scale of 1 to 10?
8.5
10 is highest of course
7
Seems I need to try harder
Ya
I was sure I was 9.2
Yeah
Pretty weird, not very or super weird

You wanna see a close up picture of a spot I got on my coccyx?
Um.....no
Discussing giants' height? 
Do I get the 9.2 rating then?
Weirdness scale
I'm 100
Sure
Finally someone that appreciated these things
You are the example given in textbooks
Wow

The tweet was about?

Of the Muricas
Not even the European view of earth 

We both are then

You are non murica north or south?
do y'all think bunnies or foxes are better?
Snakes
I am murica north
that was not an option
Both
Why then would thou be obsolete, your nation appears in said tweet / xTweet or whatever they are
Foxes obviously

I think because the emoji was created here
Perfect post for @zenith pebble 
Let me see something...

Thanks

Just the local hotel in the village
You mean the pub?
Ooh that's a cool pic
No this is a hotel with a restaurant and terrace and such
Oh
There are no pubs here sadly so I have to swank it up
Well then
The table top right is where I am sat right now
This is off their website lol
I’m not that good a photographer
Also it’s summer and the fire is not lit
Light no fire
And now you all know where I live
At a hotel?
I have parrots so don’t try to rob me, they can give evidence
Yes
In a hotel
I used to live at a B&B for a year and half once due to work
So pretty 
Because it wasn’t clear if I was going to be seconded back to another country or not and so I couldn’t enter into a lease for an apartment because the minimum was six months let
Oh, that makes complete sense now
Yeah, it was good though. I made very good friends with the family that owned it.
Even ended up best man at their son’s wedding
Dame
I used to be friends with homeless people in Glasgow when I was younger. Would stand and chat to them for hours, buy them food, give them hugs, treat them like humans. Best I could do. I was a student and couldn’t afford much else.
People used to look at me funny when I was hugging a homeless guy crying and I would ask them what their problem was with comforting a human in need.
Don’t be afraid to be weird lol
I have a tattoo to remind me lol
‘Weirdness’ is more normal than not being weird
Everyone has quirks, just that many aren’t visible or many try to hide it
💯
That’s my experience so far on this ball of dust and liquid
Same for me
Gotta have fat stacks to live in a hotel. Even long term stays that are discounted aren't cheap
Bonuses though...Free breakfast, sometimes even free dinner
This is why I don’t live in a hotel lol
I haven't been in one for years myself lol
Cheapest I ever sold a room for a long term stay in a hotel was $100 a night
I've never stayed in a hotel. I stayed in a motel once when I was young.
Ewwww
It's funny because my employer wanted us to take rooms for free sometimes just to "Get the experience"
but I was always working nights and getting live action reviews on the regular.
That's like suggesting someone go get their face punched because it's free
The only time I ever heard from guests about the hotel experience was when something went wrong
Five please
The room is too small.
Our neighbor is cooking fish.
The bed is facing the wrong way.
There's a naked man running through the halls.
I want to buy alcohol (don't sell it).
The parking lot is full (There are two and they are wrong - Also they didn't pay for parking).
I want an upgrade.
Do you know who I am? (presents IHG membership card)
You don't care who I am? (presents library card)
How did I get here?
Can I use your washroom?
Your wifi sucks.
and I wanted to believe that things were being handled during the shifts I wasn't working, but part of my job included reviewing security footage and I regularly saw staff ignoring people doing dangerous shit because the staff were overworked
Jeeze. That hotel doesn't even call their rooms hotel rooms.
They call them Apartments.
They make them look a lot larger than they are
Clever wall placements
I like the lay out but I hate the carpeting
Another heat event coming tomorrow
How long will it last?
Ours never ended, lol. We're just fucked in general
The weather has basically been this for the last week and it's gonna continue doing so for the next ten days at the very least. And I work alone outside in the heat busting my ass 
It's dry af too, it hasn't rained in...I can't even remember the last time it rained tbh
Ewwwww
i feel your pain
We had some pool damage, lost all.our frozen and chilled goods, and a few roof shingles [I've since replaced]. We are going into day 7 without power. Cell and internet services are spotty, so it takes forever to load and send over data nets
💀
It's 90° and 87% humidity. The car is our only respite from the heat rn
We live in recovery mode every summer here in Houston. Lol
At that point I'd find a cheap hotel with A/C to live in for a couple days, holy hell
Hahaha bout that
People booked hotels for that very reason and when they got there
No AC and the hotels said "you didn't ask for a room with ac"
🤣 houston is a different planet yall
I been cooking for our neighbors, they don't have a kitchen anymore and thankfully, I've a gas stove and oven
Their kitchen is... somewhere else now
damn
where I am it's quite hot but the smoke isn't bad yet
so im fine
I remember these numbers... I left Tempe for that reason
this is cali 
Yeah, they have close numbers
i see
💀
well
it's known to be hot
I only came to Houston for wife

where I am it's known to be cold
and yet it's hot ಠ_ಠ
Lol, it's been in the 80°F Un north
I am used to 60°F
Definitely
yeah if it's "spring" then super hot
Hot isn't bad until it's wet heat
if it's fall that's average
I just prefer it to be above freezing, and below 75
hot is hot
:P
bad no matter what, but humid is 100% worse
That's fall for us
ye
Dry heat and wet heat have different indexes tho
that's like 9 months of the year in Seattle
then we have these 3 months of HELLSTORM
I like -25 and +25
it's nice, but not on the extremes
I have seen 40 on both ends too
fuck
Lol, some of have terabytes of storage

External storage then?
You can easily go bigger
I don't what that much tho
They make then extremely light now
Oh
yeah and it won't let me delete the 15GB of space taken up for nothing

Did you restart afterwards?
That's strange
let's see if this works
I saw that, dame

yeah
it's broken, buy a new computer
Depending on the connection speed of course

and if you're trying to transfer that over Wifi... good luck
That's the worst
hi all
