Oh, I never even thought about it like that. I just assumed it was the “straw that broke the camel’s back” effect. 😃 But you’re probably on to something

Maybe tied in with rejection-sensitive dysphoria, too? Like, I assume I’m going to get laughed at or embarrassed, so I get preemptively ragey

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU
HELPING YOU REMEMBER YOUR IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS

I always wonder whether we’re getting it backwards.

Like, did you see ads for kayaks because you had that conversation about kayaking, or did you have the conversation because an ad company/social network decided it was time for you to get into kayaking?

Or it accidentally got the wording wrong, oops

Like that “I Am Rich” app in the early days of the App Store that was $999.99 and just showed a picture of a diamond.

I bet building a ton of data centres is the answer ✨

I never know until it happens.

Dropped a fork? Friend used the wrong punctuation mark in a text message? Accidentally thought about the wrong past event? Computer froze? Something didn’t go exactly how I planned it in my head?

Could be anything. I guess it’s always more than one thing, but my brain doesn’t give me enough forewarning that I’m starting to feel crappy, so all these stupid minor things end up taking me by suprise. 😬

On one hand, I’m glad 4chan is taking this position.

On the other hand, this is probably how the UK ends up losing access to certain websites (and VPNs) “bEcAuSe ThEyR’e NoT dOiNg EnOuGh tO pRoTeCt ChILDrEn” 💀

FWIW, it’s a myth that sugar causes hyperactivity. But it’s been shown in studies that parents who believe the myth are more likely to perceive their children’s behaviour as hyperactive when they’ve had sugar.

I think there is evidence that some artificial food additives can have that effect in some people, though.

Ate loads of shit for years as soon as I left home, now type-2 diabetic. 😬

Did you somehow post this from a typewriter

They’re 100% going to come for VPNs as well.

I hadn’t even been drinking, I felt rough all day so all I ended up having was a Pepsi. 😬

Anyway, I came out looking really sheepish and told my flatmates we needed to leave. One of them went to tell a member of staff, who stared at her for a few seconds, then pointed at another guy and said, “Can you go and tell that to my manager, and not tell him you told me? Because I really don’t want to deal with that.” 😅

It makes you believe that it did the work, but also makes you feel like it’s your fault if it doesn’t do the work 😬

It’s easy enough to change now, but the fact anything Windows-related opens in Edge regardless is so fucking stupid. It annoys me every time I accidentally hit F1 instead of F1 in File Explorer, and I have fat fingers so it happens fairly often 😅

[holding clipboard] I think I’ll just put you down as “Autistic”.

Researchers historically tended to assume birds either did not masturbate or did so only under the stress of captivity … Accounts from hobbyists revealed that some owners had sought veterinary help when they caught their birds masturbating, fearing the animals might hurt themselves.

Yeah, every customer service worker has met loads. 😬
