Delicious sparks of human connection! Thank you for sharing.

I time block tasks into my calendar for this reason.

You never had a stranger hit you with something personal out of the blue? It happens to me routinely. Yesterday I learned that a cashier at the gas station is tired because she moved a few months back and hasn’t finished unpacking but was looking forward to the birthday party her husband was throwing her next week.

Last month I learned a lady had had to move far from her friends and family and hadn’t seen her granddaughter in years, but hadn’t told anyone because she doesn’t have any friends here.

I just ask questions out of genuine curiosity. Sometimes (probably most of the time, tbh) I get surface level answers, but sometimes people need to talk to someone and I’ve been told that I “have one of those faces” that makes it easy to open up. Just because you would feel you are over sharing, and maybe culturally where you are these interactions wouldn’t happen, doesn’t mean they don’t happen or that they can’t.

I would like the v̸̮̈́o̷̲͗ì̸̗d̴̪̄ ̶̢͂ radish please

This guy’s a fraud. Birds don’t have lungs, they have series of air sacs.

edit: my bad, I should take this course. The lungs move the air through the air sacs

Or maybe add some extra trailing 0s… fractions of a cent exist, right?

Hilariously this is actually anti-disability. Many people have mobility issues without needing a wheelchair all the time, and really benefit from having places to sit. Removing a seat removes that option.
