@VelvetDuchess There's an article reported in the Intercept in 2014 that certainly raises some eyebrows.

I feel like there would've been something from the PRC by now if it was genuinely Chinese.

Is there any credible information available regarding the purpose of the Chinese balloons? While I understand the inclination to make assumptions, it is important to approach the situation objectively and avoid jumping to conclusions, especially since the balloons don't seem to be weather balloons. Just curious about the situation, even though the Pentagon hasn't said anything yet and there's only talk of an explosion.

@Sleep_Is_For_Chumps from what I've seen, they're not impressed. The rest of the show is a massive train wreck.

So HBO Max's series seemingly gets worse at every single turn. People wanted them to include Scooby, but oh man.

Yes but what if I want to be even worse?

Job interview tomorrow, so wish me luck.

This is used a lot in reporting when you don't want to make speculations or something without proof.

"Funds were stolen" by whom? We don't know yet, but we know they were stolen, it may not even be really that important.

Contrary to what your English teacher may have taught you, there's nothing wrong with the passive voice at all. There's many reasons to use it, for example if the object of the sentence is more important than the subject.

"DNA was discovered by Rosalind Franklin" if you're writing about DNA, but "Rosalind Franklin discovered DNA" if you're writing about Rosalind Franklin.

Or perhaps no subject at all "funds were stolen"

Please normalize not confusing "I'm not doing anything" with "I'm free" or "sure we can hang out."

Sometimes, I'm actively doing nothing.

@aasteppin Also realizing that it's not "something you grow out of", there are adults with autism and people don't understand how to handle or treat them either. Especially if you're good at masking.

I've encountered this a lot myself and it's extremely difficult to explain to people.

@aasteppin The amount of people who consistently misunderstand or worse misrepresent autism is infuriating.

"so are you the 'I can do a months worth of work in 8hrs' neurodivergent or are you the 'making toast is hard' neurodivergent?"

"Yes."

@CaliZaybak I suppose that's true, but that also depends how much work the Brazilian police can (or want) to do.

@lenaoflune those look really nice but I like the first one the best. It suits your face shape, which is really really important.

@CoSoTips what if you edit the cracked egg to something silly?
