I gamble very rarely and am fully aware of its expectation value. But when I do gamble I still enjoy it, in the same way I might enjoy an amusement ride. Sure I part with some of my money but it’s just the fee for some thrill and entertainment. Roulette can actually be fairly cheap and a nice way of socializing with others.

I keep my git clone in Dropbox so I can revert accidental delete and always have the most recent code on all devices without having to remember to commit and push. If it requires manual execution I wouldn’t really consider it a proper backup solution.

They would never admit to being anything that starts with “homo”

What the fuck is missing in the brain of these people. I feel like they are a different species.

What did you mean to say??

I know my limitations so as a rule I always set an alarm on my phone whenever I put a drink in the freezer

Is this why I wake up at 3.30 with anxiety over something embarrassing I did when I was 15? It was my memory foam pillow all along.

“Nice beaver!”

“Thank you! I just had it stuffed.”

I am serious, and stop calling me Shirley

You don’t need to understand that. You only need to understand that it is a desirable outcome for people who say they want another baby, not why.
