Eh - this is to be expected, I suppose: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-47001460 😆

@pcrock A bit of both for me. Lately, I am consciously aware that I should put the phone down and go read a book or enjoy the surroundings. This is mostly when I'm travelling or walking around. When walking, I used to occasionally pause, check the phone and keep moving. I find that my use of the phone is a rather deep rabbit hole I should just dig myself out of. :D

Think this is similar for a lot of folks too 🙂

@blinry Ah, starchy water. Sorry, didn't read - but chocolate flavoured hummus sounds like an idea to try! (or a bad one) :D

@blinry So, uhm, chocolate flavoured hummus? 😀

@realmaxkeeble Only 3 reads? So, you mean to say you were startled WP did an amazingly better job than, uh, a book? 😆

I was somewhat bemused reading this news article on CNN: https://edition.cnn.com/2019/01/24/business/wilbur-ross-loans-food-assistance-government-shutdown/index.html

I'm also surprised to see nobody even questioned him, looking at how woefully out of touch he is with reality. US folks, what's happening here? :O

@TootBot Toot!

In case these "journos" decide to change their title later

"To frighten the EU into believing we are serious about no-deal Brexit, the country has staged a fake traffic jam all the way to Dover" -- Seriously? You can't make up crap like this and have the voting public pay for it!

@iankenway I think most governments in the world are lulled into a sense of security thinking that their people will *NOT* revolt against them. That is absurd and governments, as they stand, should be very afraid of their people - like how you would be wary of a sleeping lion. You wouldn't try poking it, would you?

The same with Brexit. The UK parties seem very confident that people won't revolt. Time to change that, I guess.

@freemo What'd he say to a mocktail, then? 😆

@freemo dunno, man. Here I was thinking, "moobs" are a thing too, right? 😆 😆

@freemo Keep going! BTW, did you know that there are specialist nibs, specifically meant for calligraphy? Here's one example: http://amzn.eu/d/5N06P8L

@freemo **Calligraphy** SCNR 😆

@freemo So close, they only missed an apostrophe! And, they still had to go shutdown? 😆

@freemo Text to image? *shrug* 😉 != :wink:

@freemo Just something I noticed, typing out emojis like :smile: or :wink: do not automatically translate on here, unless I tab into it and select the emoji. Expected?
