Sometimes it changes. For example, Covid in French, everyone was using "le covid" (i guess cos it's a virus, and virus is a masculin word), but then I believe the French academy weighed in that it should be "la covid" because it's not the virus but the disease (la maladie) we're talking about. Anyway. Yeah other than the official sources, many of us peasants all still say Le covid because by the time they weighed in we were all saying Le and so now saying La sounds weird.

There's a study that shows that even jellyfish seem to sleep.

A lot of shows I liked are mentioned here already, so I'm going to add Brooklyn 99. Recently finished it and it's a surprisingly rich show, really enjoyed it.

Whole different vibe, but Don't Look Up. As an environmental scientist, that one really nailed the existential dread many of my colleagues and I feel every day...

For us it's Gollum. Girls and boys alike. Everyone is Gollum.

Which is why they're usually just temporary visitors to Earth. The planet is actually passing through them, so they fade in, crying their despair at their lonely fate, and fade back out...

Pakay! Also called ice cream bean. It's a giant bean, inside there's big seeds surrounded in white solid-fluffy stuff. You eat the white stuff. It's sweet without being overpowering and the consistency is interesting. Delicious

Yeah I don't think he is projecting in that sense, but I do believe he has really bad abandonment issues, that is making him "see" things that aren't the case, maybe to have a reason to push me away before I hurt him, too... I'm not sure what to do, he's so convinced that I've betrayed him already, and even if the offense is not real, the pain clearly is, and I'm not sure there is anything I can do to reassure him. It's so painful to watch (beyond the hurtful accusations..)...

I appreciate you looking out for me, friend!

My bf is convinced I have/had feelings for some other guys. Keeps pressing the issue and "Why can't you just admit it?". I can't admit something that isn't true...

Yes. Europe. We pretty much all do. Automatics are becoming a bit more common in recent years, but 90% of cars here are still manual. Especially the old beat-up cars we learn to drive on are all manual. And if by chance you learned on an automatic, and pass your driver's test on automatic, it says so on your driver's licence and I think you're not actually allowed to drive/rent manual cars.

Cookie Monster has eyes like predator. Is Cookie Monster predator? Are cookies alive?
