@alice I have the urge to scour my posts to make sure they're clean.

@alice Girlfriend's mom eyes Alice suspiciously.Thought bubble: Perhaps she cleaned it out already?

@floatybirb nice. I was thinking ‘deer deadlifts human, human gets all teh credit. Ain’t that just how things go.’@alice

@alice @altbot The only folks who deserve to be yelled at for not using AltText are ableists who not only think AltText isn't worth any extra time but they brag about not using it, like it's a flex.

@michaelgemar yeah, basically Now I want to try cooking pasta, shaping it into lockpicking tools, and then re-drying it.I bet I could make some workable tools...@lowqualityfacts

@alice unlike its inspiration it seems to lack good insulation properties.

@alice (oh, I can't wait to read all the comments on this gem!)

@JJ @alice I've asked parents to at least ask their children. It's interesting when a 7 or 8yo says no. Maybe they understand better than parents.

@alice I just want to say that I don't think you ghosted them. You ramped down then got red flags & then drew a healthy boundary. Ghosting in my book leaves no apparent reason, no warning or explanation, just poof, disappeance and silence - which yes, is very scary and uncertain for the ghostee. But I don't think we can blanket condemn it. There are good reasons to ghost if your safety is threatened, even if some folks abuse it for their own comfort. We all live and learn.

@alice Duck lipped, inadequately clothed, holding a big fish. Obviously.

@itgrrl nah, it'll probably be healthier if you don't drink it; you can fish one out of the trash.

@alice @JYeo18 I concur completely. The reason I like the Abus 83/45 so much is that you can purchase it with the same keyway as your house or your apartment or whatever and then key them alike.

@alice this makes me think I want to deliver a lesson to my 11-14 year old computer science pupils on What They Don’t Teach You In School About Computer Science. Grateful for any input on what to include.

@alice I was once credited with inventing a word: "Momentography". It was for designer Sascha Pohflepp's project "Blinks & Buttons" from 2006, long since defunct, near as I can tell - but it seems to be used by a lot of websites now, maybe I should charge them royalties...
