Considering you've thought about it, you're already ahead of 95% of congress.

On the bright side, that means the horse can continue the torture forever. Autocorrect is a mean bastard, but I'm thinking this one's not so bad.

That goddamned movie made leaves look delicious and my child self did not appreciate the lesson in reality versus fantasy. ಠ_ಠ

I'm guessing it's that the main character's baby is the "destined" lover of the character who was the second male lead. Alternately, it could be that the main character is a teenager courted by a man hundreds of years her senior, but that one tends to be less frowned upon in media.

Either way, I think Meyer would've come up with her drivel one way or another.

Yes, last I'd heard the rapist Brock Allen Turner was going by Allen Turner. That rapist.

First we had to worry about microplastics invading our junk, now we have to fend off butterflies, too?!

This...pretty much describes the Democratic Party in general: mostly full of people who, by the standards 20 years ago, would've had an R by their names.

Both parties are a cancer at this point.

Absolutely disgusting. Our common ancestors are rolling over in their graves at their inhumanity.

I read it as GLaDOS first and got a little smile, then went back and reread it as Cave Johnson and laughed.

No, but I did say it a lot.

He's the man with the name you'd love to touch, but you mustn't touch.

Hi all,

I have backups turned off everywhere I can find the ability to do so on my pixel 8 pro, but am regularly (multiple times per week) getting notifications that my Google storage is almost full. Lo and behold, every time I check drive, I suddenly have a backup that I have to delete, again and again. Does anyone have any tips? It's really making me regret getting a Google phone, since I don't need my phone connected to my email.

Thanks in advance! :)

 

What are some (non-English) idioms, and what do they mean (both literally and in context)? Odd ones, your favorite ones - any and all are welcome. :)

For example, in English I might call someone a "good egg," meaning they're a nice person. Or, if it's raining heavily, I might say "it's raining cats and dogs."

 

I'm upgrading because my phone is losing (lost?) support. I use a OnePlus 7 Pro and love it and wouldn't bother upgrading otherwise. I'd appreciate some recommendations of android phones you like, please.

Thank you in advance! (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)
