Speaking as somebody with a fuller bosom, as you mentioned, the problem is mostly the angle of the shoulder belt. There is an adjustable slide, but it only adjusts four or five inches, which simply isn't enough for the seven inches difference between my partner and I. The end of the belt is by my ear, not my shoulder. I'm constantly tugging the shoulder belt lower when I'm in the car, either passenger or driver, which is really not safe.

In 2018, I was in a car crash. I was driving a 1998 minivan and got t-boned by a 2006 SUV going 55mph. It turned the van into a banana, pushed the driver's seat over to the center. I don't remember the accident itself, but it looks like my head bounced between the B pillar and the airbag/steering wheel, it broke my glasses, cracked my skull, and gave me a subarachnoid brain hemorrhage with a 50/50 survival rate. Literally knocked me cross-eyed, so I was seeing double for forever. It also broke my pelvis into 8 pieces, sliced up my spleen, and broke a few ribs. I still have a bolt holding my pelvis to my spine. Took over a year to recover, then COVID hit while I was trying to get back to work. fml, never doing that again.

Maybe it would have been better if I had side curtain airbags, but the main problem really feels like the seatbelt just doesn't fit.

I dunno what you looked up, but my search returns multiple sites with instructions for keeping squid at home?

Depends on how he hears about it. If somebody brings it up as being beneficial to everybody, he'll want to axe it, but if he just hears that we're dumping tons of gross bugs on Mexico, he'll probably be on board.

Oic, you're complaining about screenshots of text as memes, not alt text.

Carry on.

Earlier this year I had to catch an absolute unit of a bumblebee inside my house. Must've been a queen that just came out of hibernation, she was very confused that my ceiling light wasn't the outside.

They must have updated the title, because it now says "robots to help build..."

Weren't they dubbed as 'donuts' or am I having a Berenstain Bears moment?

And if they've got those lights, I need to slow down anyways because I can't see the road as well with all the glare.

This is why I get pissy when people who can afford to take vacations tell me that I need to reduce my footprint. The most I've ever flown was a couple years ago where there were three funerals in sixteen months.

The local progressive scene is full of rich fuckers that think their non-native lawns and vacation homes come out in the wash because they buy 'climate neutral' marketed goods. It's like that bizarre argument I had once where somebody was saying that replacing monoculture grass with a native garden was less beneficial for the environment than buying wind credits from the power company. His logic was that plants only temporarily store CO2, whereas wind credits actually remove carbon permanently, and I don't know whose ass he pulled that from.
