Find a balance between enjoying life in the present and planning for the future.

Remember that most of the things you worry about never happen.

Make a point of noticing and appreciating ordinary little things. Learn to love dandelions again.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

My "Wait! What?" moment: I was not paying attention to the TV. It was a commercial break and I heard, "Simple human sex." I stopped what I was doing and looked at the TV in time to see the words, "Simple Human Sense," on the screen. I have no idea what they were advertising.

Oh wow! I love shiny rocks. (My mom did too.) I have never bought any.

As an example: AI doesn't understand "no." Because the statements "no ketchup on my burger" and "ketchup on my burger" are almost identical to a machine that does not and cannot actually reason. It's only a 2 letter difference.

AI doesn't know 'no' – and that's a huge problem for medical bots

Many AI models fail to recognise negation words such as “no” and “not”, which means they can’t easily distinguish between medical images labelled as showing a disease and images labelled as not showin...

So blue hair is asshole repellent? Got it. If I was a young single woman I would definitely dye my hair some wild unnatural color.

This pair of tweets live rent-free in my head :

Unnatural hair colors in woman are a warning signal to stay away,
Its an example Aposematism-the phenomenon of poisonous animals in nature advertising their toxicity and lethality
JulieG @stringy
Replying to @javafour and @Ennaaseret7
Aposematism is there to warn off predators, not sexual partners. If you're repelled bv it. it's working.

Yes, I know, THAT'S THE PROBLEM!

I figured it was something like that but that's still really short of details. I can do my own googling but I need to know what to search for.

Lynn from OK @uppityokie.bsky.social · 6h

I swear I'm going to start blocking people who post vague references to something in the news as if *everyone* knows what they're talking about.

Not really because then my feed would empty.

Lynn from OK @uppityokie.bsky.social · 6h

I have been searching for at least 10 minutes and I have no idea who/what this is about. Clue please.

"I didn't do it on purpose..."

Of course you did it on purpose! How does one eat 3kg of gummies on accident?

My lantana has been looking especially gorgeous this year.

Exactly true! Well... maybe not the prehensile tail part but women's pants sizing is ridiculous. It's not standardized at all. I've been making my own for decades so I wouldn't even know how to begin in a store.

Men’s pants: Your waist is 30 inches, therefore you are a size 30.

Women’s pants: Your waist is bad inches, you have wide hips, a small butt, short legs, a long torso, a prehensile tail, and we don’t like your face. Therefore you are a size whatever the fuck we want, but only at this store.

If I was wealthy and had a huge kitchen with miles of countertops I would get one piece to just sit on the countertop and look cool.

Follow-up to that "advice for people just entering their 30s" question: Not really advice but an observation, someday you will look back and laugh at your younger self, not for thinking you were cool but for thinking coolness was important.

If Le Creuset is "cheugy" maybe that means I can afford it now.

Actually, I don't want any. It's too heavy and I bet you can't put it in the dishwasher.

Just another way to say "uncool," I think. Of course it would be cheugy to just say it's uncool. We must always use the most up-to-date insults.

What about the teenage customer who committed the assault? He should be sentenced to clean restrooms in Braum's until he's 21 and banned from eating there for life.

Given his personality obscurity and poverty would be the hardest punishment.

My favorite impossible fantasy is that he spends the rest of a long life alone and forgotten in a leaky trailer in N Dakota with no Internet access and nothing to eat but unseasoned rice and beans.
