Ah my favorite false cognate isn't here, that means I get to post about it!
Emoticon :) is emotion + icon in English, invented in the 80s or early 90s. Exactly what you think.
Emoji is Japanese 絵文字 which basically translates to "picture character". That word has been around for a long time; I don't know that I can put a date to it. But certainly a lot older than computers.
They just happen to sound similar
Wanna explain it for my friend who doesn't get it?
Yeah, there's a weird implied statute of limitations type of thing with remains. Like thousands of years ago, we can learn so much and uncover history by looking at remains. But you don't learn much and it's weird and presumably illegal to dig up recent remains.
I dunno what that time limit is, but to me at least it feels like it exists and intuitively makes enough sense
For the curious, like me 
Man, my parents were cool as shit about this. And I think it had really good consequences for me later on, like in college.
Sex was positively viewed, but strict about protection (rightly so), and drugs were described as a spectrum with weed being very low, and the scary drugs (heroine) being very scary. They were honest about wanting me to wait for drugs and booze till I was more adult, but let me have a few parties with friends where everyone crashed at their house. It was super fun, and very badass feeling. I got to college and was like .... Meh? On partying.
Definitely not the only way to go about it, but the honesty helped me weigh consequences of it all a bit better, I think.
Temu Eva Braun is amazing.
I keep saying this but she's somehow only 31. It's astonishing.
It reads like the minimum went from $18 to $23. So the minimum is up from $18, to $23.
Man I'm in my mid 30s and really loving gaming more these days. Lots of independent shit that's had me hooked.
In the past few years I fell away from cars/motorcycles (building, racing, etc) and am loving sitting on the couch at home. It's a stark contrast and has been a lot of therapy time, but I did it for years while not enjoying it. I think my takeaway is leaning into what I want and away from what I don't
I stopped using reddit, I'm on my phone a lot less. It makes me less angry and more present, and I really like that. I also comment more, as many of you have said here.
I really miss Ask Historians. It'd send me down some lovely rabbit holes, get me reading books about niche topics I never knew I wanted to learn more about.
Massive F1 fan here.
It's more of an engineering sport than a driving sport. Don't get me wrong– the drivers are absolutely top notch and do an incredible job and it's entertaining to watch. But since it's sooooo engineering and development based, you cars that perform different on different tracks (cuz of elevation, temperature, track design, surface).
It's pretty neat; worth a watch sometime!
I don't envy the engineers making the right height calls after just a practice session worth of data on a bumpy track. Rough way to dnf, and it sucks that 50% of the 4 cars checked failed but that's all that there will be scrutineering wise.
Funny that F1 today is "are they spot checking enough wood planks under the car?". Feels very budget haha
The fact that me and a coworker can't both share our screens at the same time is absolutely batshit. 1x1 collaboration isn't even reasonable, nevermind anything more
