Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Time to say this again.

A different social circle of mine has been sharing personal bingo cards so I might as well stick mine here as well.

No, me being on my phone isn't me "not connecting with people" it's me not connecting with YOU. Maybe I should be connecting with you, that's fair. But maybe I have things to do.

Clothing brands selling what basically amounts to brand-swag for fake, made up brands is maybe the weirdest thing ever. I'd rather spend money on something that actually shows off a thing I like!

If it's not ships and crews raiding other ships on the high seas, it's not piracy, it's just sparkling grey areas of what counts as theft

Life hack: I set new tabs to open directly to the right of the current tab, instead of at the far end and my productivity has gone up tenfold.

Dutch has the best drink abbreviations:

esma (espresso martini)

baco (bacardi & cola)

gito (gin & tonic)

Bonus: afko is short for afkorting, the Dutch equivalent of saying abbreev instead of abbreviation

If I'm understanding the Space Liability Convention correctly, if one of Elon's rockets were to crash on my house and kill me, my family would have to petition the government to petition the US government to charge SpaceX. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Liability_Convention
