Oh no! I avoided MB until I had time to watch the Apple Keynote, but there has been so many posts that I’ve reached the MB limit and is getting the “no more posts” message. @manton, how do I view posts that are further back in the timeline?
@jacksonoftrades hey, this would be really weird, but would you want a free Hello Fresh box? I have a coupon for a free box for NZ customers (Hello Fresh is starting in NZ I guess) and you’re like the only person I know in the country.
This is the World Wide Web – not the Google Wide Web. We will do as we damn well please. It’s not our job to please Google and make our websites nice for them. No, they got this the wrong way round – it’s their job to make sense of our websites, because without us Google wouldn’t exist.
Love this, especially this part:
Someone who is told, “Stop apologizing” rarely thinks of replying, “It’s just a ritual; you should say, ‘I’m sorry’ more. It would make you more likable.” She is more likely to say, or think, “What’s wrong with me? Why do I apologize all the time?” Our understanding of language inclines us to look for literal rather than ritual meanings in words.
Random thought: When I grow old and senile, I might mutter stuff like “wsite” or “vmail”, and no one would know what I’m talking about. That is unless they look through my computer and realise I’m muttering Textexpander trigger words for my website and email address.
Even now, for paper forms when it asks for my mobile number or email address, my fingers want to write the trigger phrase… 🤔
This is good to keep in mind for fellow stationery geeks – I know I should.
Veronica: How book get pregnant?
Tom: With pauses
I laughed out loud in the car 🤣
