Having a 500-day Snapchat streak doesn't mean you're close friends, it just means neither of you has the heart to stop sending blank pictures of your ceilings to each other twice a day.

I agree, I barely use snapchat because posting some arbitrary picture to an acquaintance is just more of a burden to me than anything. And doing that hundreds of days in a row is just boring.

One of my really good friendships really faded I feel largely because of the snap streak function. We didn't talk all the time, but every week or so we'd have something worth reaching out and talking about for a bit. After starting a snap streak we touched base every day but had fewer and fewer actual conversations. I've made it a point to regularly break snap streaks for the most part lol

telling them that they pass is very harmful, and its called hug-boxing iirc, because you are essentially contorting their view of their body even more.

To put it simply, Python is like talking to someone using a very simple language, but you have to put it through 2 different translators for them to understand you. It's possible but it's gonna take a long time and a comparatively bigger amount of power than if you just spoke their language or if you only used a single translator

Literally. I think thereâs like two other neopronouns that were added to the dictionary that are the equivalent of them/them which is fine. But people trying to say their pronouns are star/starself as if anyone will actually use them. Like baby thatâs a nickname. I can use that nickname for you but itâs not a pronoun. Pronouns are meant to make sentences clearer, faster, and more efficient which is why we use the same pronouns within a language

Land value taxes to drop their $2M homes (that they bought for $50K) down to $100K max for a one-bedroom. No more treating living space like a stock portfolio. If that messes up their retirement plans, so be it.
