There are reflecting pools/fountains near me that are this unnatural blue.

Usually at the entrance to dive motels. They look like toilet water. Gross.

That’s not how you want high-end water features to look. It’s how you hide w nasty shit goes on in there after hours (like at Mar a Lago), and the blue is meant to (badly) disguise it.
I had a private pool, And I’ve maintained public water features (pools, Fountains, Ponds, Reflecting pools, Etc)

You can smell this shade of blue – heavily over chlorinated and dirty. It tells you do not touch. It’s gross, and you’ll definitely catch something.

Guess how little I care about anyone taking these contracts?

Nope, you guessed too much!

It can barely be quantified by science.

This does happen sometimes. It sucks for all involved, but like NASCAR, some of the audience is secretly hoping. That’s part of the thrill of having planes fly at each other really close. Otherwise just don’t do that, there’s loads of air with no planes in it.

My son is almost 30. Is it too late?

Hamsters are cannibals.

It’s weird, I know, because they’re so cute. They are though,

TBF, we’re all big bad to each other, because our societies are imploding and we’re all scared.

GLaDOS is mine, too.

(spoilers ahead, play it if you haven’t)

In my first playthrough, I didn’t see it coming, and I felt like she was my friend. That was a relationship twist I’ve never had in a game, and I really appreciated what they did there.

e: if you’re looking for other game recs that fuck with you, I’d say What Remains of Edith Finch.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Pretty sure this is SOP. At least, it was before these idiots took over.

Not sure why this is news, unless this didn’t occur to these morons before now and they think it’s a Very Good, Big Brain Idea™ that was obvious to literally everyone else.

The abbreviation ‘lbs’ for ‘pounds’ comes from the Roman ‘libre pondo’ meaning ‘a pound by weight’.

This is also the reason the symbol for Libra in the zodiac is scales (Libra is the only sign represented by an inanimate object).

I just learnt this today, and I can’t believe I never noticed before now that ‘lbs’ for ‘pounds’ is weird. I always just mentally glossed over it.

Yeah, a whole lot of violent racists applied for ICE jobs that were notoriously lax on hiring criteria.

I wonder if there’s any link between those factors that may also correlate some violent racists being legally allowed to beat and shoot people they don’t like, so they can fill their urges without ‘doing crime’ now.

I’d bet money that we soon hear about serial killer whi worked at ICE, and I’ll bet at least one is active right now. If I had this idea, a real killer will certainly thought of it…

HAhahahahaha.

If you don’t sin, he died for nothing.

Thanks, that was hell on mobile.

Yeah. I’ve already passed the Socially Awkward station, and You’re Putting People Off was like 2 stops ago. Guess this is where I get off.

Xbox has adopted and abandoned AI in the amount of time I stopped playing, stopped paying for Live, and will maybe start again. (eta: if I don’t find something else that has 3D VR).

Weird, that.

I just watched a long form video on the difference between war and conflict, and how we can’t really call many animal conflicts ’war’.

And then how some animal conflicts, like ant and chimp wars really are war. It was pretty cool.

Since some dinosaurs species were around for a very long time, I wonder whether they did wage war? They had plenty of time to develop culture and more than enough to hate each other. Maybe war really never changes.

eta: and as mum to a young dino enthusiast back in the day, I hope they were that complex cuz that’s groovy. Still hip to please that little boy, lol.

I can’t find the article now. It was either Vox, Forbes, or Hollywood Informer.

Now, all the top 30 pages of results come up with makeup artists speculating on what he’s doing to his hand to hide whatever bruising is happening there. I’m sorry, I wish I’d saved it. I’m sure the article is still somewhere if you care more than me to devote an hour to finding it.

It is though. Only a bit, but you can’t get that orange even using the orange concealer he uses wrong.

Fun fact, btw: it’s not spray tan. The real story is much sadder. It’s a certain brand of concealer he buys in bulk, because way back in his the Apprentice days, a talented makeup artist made him look far, far better on camera than he looked in the mirror, and he asked her how she made him look so good.

According to an interview she later gave, she explained her whole routine. It seems he stopped listening after her fist few sentences, though, because from then on he began buying the first step she used (a certain orange concealer) and just slathering it all over his face as the one and only step.

Some of his previous maids have confirmed this, and some have said he goes through shirts like no one else because the concealer stains like crazy. It’s not meant to be used that way, you’re supposed to use it sparingly underneath foundation, powder, etc. he uses it alone and in copious amounts.

Spray tan or bronzer would at least make some sense. The real story is worse.

He is that inattentive and stupid.
