Hello, hi.
I picked up a whole ton of new humans today so I'm making a post to help you acclimate.

✨ I own a portable planetarium and I take it to the smallest towns and weirdest places I can to reach people who would/could never visit a planetarium and show them the universe.

🧠When not doing that,I visit schools and daycares and do hands on STEM enrichment to foster creative problem solving and critical thinking.

When not doing that, I am obnoxious... on purpose.

BREAKING: CNN will be holding a live televised a town hall meeting on issues with AI, featuring Skynet and an audience consisting entirely of Terminators, Cylons, and Cybermen.

I plan to ignore the finer points of advanced vocabulistics and just stick with "rapist".

Sexual assaulter" doesn't roll off the tongue well, and "sexual predator" downplays what #Trump did to #JeanCarroll.

Despite the possible redundancy, I'm going with "sexual molester" unless a more apt description presents itself.

Jesus can't hurt you if you don't invite him into your house

About 20 years ago is when I learned that ordering a double-shot espresso outside of the US gives you a tiny bit of concentrated rocket fuel at the bottom of a tiny little mug. And that they expect you to drink it. That surprised me.
I expected them to dilute the rocket fuel in a mug of actual coffee.

Twitter DMs are encrypted in the same way that Tesla cars are self driving.

My AmEx does that for me. When I'm paying for something online, I can request a virtual card from them, and it's only valid for one transaction. If someone tries to use it again, it's automatically flagged as a fraud charge.

Several people in this thread have recommended I use "privacy.com" to create one-off credit card numbers to thwart the companies that hike autopay subscription rates. I took a look at it and discovered the company is in bed with Peter Thiel's evil Palintir.

No thanks.
