Aw I love lilacs too :) I planted lilac bushes along the side of my last house. We moved away this past fall and I really miss those bushes because they’d be blooming right about now. I hope the new owners are enjoying them!

My favorite smells are warm sleeping dog (kind of a cozy smell, hard to describe but if you know you know) and garage that is used to store cars (kind of a mechanical smell, not sure if it’s from gasoline or motor oil or what but I love it). And also I love the smell of strong tea :)

Holy shit you’re not kidding

Erasure - Take A Chance On Me

Everybody’s talking about the dick and balls, meanwhile I’m stunned by the gun show. That cat is jacked!

Don’t you clean your toilet brush after you use it?

I’m out of the loop, what’s wrong with Brave?

I’ve resorted to appending every Google search with “-ai” because I don’t want to see their bullshit summaries. Outsourcing our thinking is lazy and dangerous, especially when the technology is so flawed.

Ha that was my first thought too!

That’s greyhounds.

Nope, I got rid of it when Snowden dropped his info.

This is precious 🧡

Yeah somehow Microsoft dodged it in 2001 which is pretty mind-boggling because they were supreme at that point

Dogwoods come in shades of pink and red too, plus their blossoms look completely different.

Dude no. You have to actually wash them, what’s the matter with you?

I’ve found more belligerent comments have started to crop up, and sure enough, most of the time the account is about 2 weeks old. I really hope lemmy doesn’t change with this latest influx from reddit.

When your empathy extends to people you don’t even like.

She would be absolutely stunned. Probably wouldn’t believe me. At 43 I’m married to the guy I was dating at 19. At 19 I had dropped out of college and thought I wanted to be an artist; at 43 I’m already retired from a successful career in academic research. At 19 I had no thoughts about politics or the world as a whole (9/11 hadn’t happened yet); at 43 I’m pretty informed and opinionated. And she’d probably be surprised how much I’m into the outdoors, healthy living, and weightlifting, given that she had negative interest in those things. The rest is pretty consistent - e.g., I’ve always loved music from the '60s, fun nail polish, scifi, swimming, and handmade art (drawing, beading, etc).

As a kid I made a PB, banana, mayo, and potato chip sandwich pretty often. I fucking loved it. As an adult I’d never eat that, but occasionally I crave it.

The pig had Hawaiian pizza which contains ham.

You should check out the Fairy Voice Mother on YouTube. She talks all about how positioning the lips, jaw, and larynx in certain ways helps create certain sounds. Very interesting!
