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

90% of my "computer skills" are built on the need to click things and see what happens

Cut flowers are an interesting gift. Not cheap plus fleeting makes for a relatively high required perceived worth considering the value they provide. What other gifts are like this?

My love language is "responds when I share things I found"

I don't envy the kids trying to find job shadow opportunities in the WFH era. Or maybe they don't even do that any more?

This is my favourite comical map ever, and that was a hard decision to make xkcd.com/1799/

I don't understand why anyone outside of hereditary monarchists care about virginity anymore

Watch me solve online age verification without ID leaks:

- Device and local login granted to kid by parent
- Kid does NOT have full admin access locally
- Parent has full admin access locally
- Parent sets an OS setting: Can view adult content; can view teen content
- OS makes 'age' flag available to web pages and apps
- If kid DOES have admin access, that's an internal family issue; not the government's concern.
- PROBLEM SOLVED
