I guess it’s bait for people who like to judge. The idea could be: it’s not responsible to quit science for this and being a mother makes irresponsible choices even worse. That’s not my point of view, but I know people whose life seems to be so empty that they feel a constant need to look down on others and the “mother” information gives them at least 5 more minutes of talking shit about how this is a terrible decision.

It’s my most critical skill to adapt the tone of my “mhmhmmm” to the tone of the word salad spoken by the other side

I mean it’s run by the biggest kid, so I guess it’s understandable that they at least want to check out what their like-minded fellow is doing over there.

I hope they turn away in disgust.

It’ll always be my favorite one - one movie, two Nicolas Cages. How can anyone beat this?

As it has no tentacles I can see the beauty in this one, too. But I am really confused about how unreal those fungi look.

How did you not run away screaming? Is this fungus common knowledge? I’ve never seen it and I am happy to have read this post before stumbling on this another dimension opening strawberry-red nightmare

Out of curiosity, what article exactly?

I’m not familiar with posting rules, but would think it’s not technology related if the bathroom installations do not include fancy new bathroom technology.

Now whenever I see a cute animal pic in my feed I think “please be real and not AI generated” - I never react like this to pics of humans.

We just had a laugh about this this week at work - it’s just such a ridiculous size compared to European cars.

Happened to me a few times, but it is buried so deep I cannot remember the things they said. Don’t take it personally, think about it with empathy - what kind of a sad life must someone have to feel the need to make a stranger feel bad, too? Pity them. The people I met who tend to be mean to/talk bad about strangers because of outward appearances often enough had some serious troubles with their own lifes and especially self-esteem. It made them feel superior to talk someone else down. Often enough I think they are just jealous or misogynous. How old was this stranger? Maybe they would like to be 30 again to live life differently. If they were younger - maybe they figured you had the button because someone gifted it to you, or you had a party just for you, and this person does not have any friends to party. Whatever it is - nothing’s wrong with you, it’s the person who actively chose to spend their time - even if just a short moment - to make some stranger feel bad, who has a problem. Don’t let your birthday memories be shadowed by this and enjoy your coffee.
