I wonder if animals have the same sense of 'baby!' that humans have. Like when we see an infant of any species we want to protect and/or eat it.

The cockroaches can have the basement? No one goes down there and it's sealed off from the rest of the house. Go ham down there boys.

Made the mistake of buying a bag of spinach as a person who lives alone so now every single meal I eat for the next 2 weeks is gonna about this damn spinach. We are on 24/7 spinach lockdown. Last time this happened, I made 3 salads and a spinach curry and spinach pasta and STILL half the bag turned to green rot in the fridge. My conception of "what meals require spinach" is rapidly expanding into "what meals COULD conceivably include spinach." I am considering recipes never before seen outside the realms of vegan mommy blogs. By day 10 I anticipate I will probably just do a Land Before Time and take the rest of that shit raw

See, just cook the spinach, the whole bag. You will always end up with half a small bowl of spinach. It doesn't matter how much spinach you start with, in the end you end up with half a small bowl.

i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.

Also, if Anthony Burgess could write a novel using about 25% made up language and expect people to piece it together, you can manage the odd big word.

So smol he only need one popcorn

*sigh* fine, fine, i'll be the new doctor who showrunner. bring me two twinks, britain's tallest woman, and 1000 pounds worth of alumininamian foil

Pretty much the Dragonlance fandom. We're too small to have much in the way of drama.

I think something else in the book that we sadly don't get in the film, is the degree to which Grace is doing things because of who he BELIEVES himself to be. He's brave throughout the book because he's assumes he's a brave person, because he's the sort of person who signed up for a suicide mission to save the world. Finding out he's a coward was CRUSHING

There is, thankfully, a sure-fire way of knowing if something is ai or not. Ask the person who wrote it about what they wrote. An actual author will talk until their jaw falls off. Someone who used ai will stand there like the pathetic anemone they are because they have no idea what you're talking about.

Just to clarify, 'you' is not the modern version of thou. Shakespeare absolutely used 'you'. Thou is the old informal pronoun. France has 'tu', German has 'du', English had thou. Over time and partially due to Quakers pissing everyone off, thou fell into disuse, and you became the only second person pronoun- which also did quite a lot to simplify English grammar.

Babies!
