So the winner of this year's Eurovision is Bulgaria and Israel got second. Wtf was up with the jury votes? This is the second time my stress levels was through the roof, I don't think my heart can take another year of Israel participating

Ducklings don't turn into swans cygnets do, therefore the 'ugly' duckling was not a duckling at all and was actually the victim of racist bullying.

Trying to decide what to watch tonight: Even Horizon or The Mist.

Wondering what the best approach is to encode AV1.

And trying to keep all of my computers and network gear up to date thanks to AI causing more updates to go out faster.

Event Horizon!!!

Between the two, I'd go with Event Horizon as well.

Fun fact... if you live in Japan, you cannot name your child "Pikachu".

Or Charmander. Or Squirtle. Or Jigglypuff. Or even Oddish.

Of course, I wouldn't name my kid Oddish. That's my name.

That sounds like a good law.

And whoever called them "ugly" needed their eyes checked.

The lines at the hospital and pharmacy that tell you to respect patient privacy by standing three feet behind them, it’s three feet. You will still hear everything. Not crowding them during their turn, yes, but privacy?

I had a 10 minute discussion with my mom about my future after I graduated, she proposed a holiday job but unfortunately it's too late for that.

She then proposed to do volunteer work in the hospital, I protested saying my previous internship already said I was allowed to do volunteer at their place. She protested back saying I would lose all my knowledge and would learn more at a hospital than a nursing home.

And then she said I should apply for a job after I graduated, I said I wouldn't do it because our trip together to the Netherlands in July, she said I could always say I was available in August. And I was like, I'm not stupid, there is no way I get hired like that

One of me's enough.
Indeed, one is one too many, according to some people here.

Wasn't that the point of the story?

That feeling when you finally give up on a poster — one whom you’ve followed for years, because seven times out of ten they really are the smartest guy in the room — because in the remaining three, they just won’t stop doubling down on… is “picayunity” a word?

 

[DarrenTR1970]

is “picayunity” a word?

The definition is locked behind a paywall, but the Oxford English Dictionary says that the word has been in existence since 1607.

True, that classic fable really doesn't make sense. Baby swans aren't ugly, they're cute!

It's telling me 1948.

Maybe they’re ugly to ducks?
