Post something random or you'll have an awful... you know what? No. You'll have the September you deserve regardless of whether you post the picture. These aren't chain letters. They hold no power over you! Anyway here's a picture of something random
a raccoon holding onto the top of some kind of metal door, looking scared or puzzled with its hand up in the air as if to halt the cameraperson. a caption says "excuse me but what the fuck"

in case you ever wonder why shipping is so expensive, part of it is that you're paying for crazy inefficiencies like sending a package 2000 miles away to ultimately deliver it approximately 5 miles from its origin
A delivery detail that says a package was in Redmond, WA on 8/19, and that the package may experience a delay. Two days later, it is in Arlington, TX.

Fix your hearts or die? Sure. But also: Fix your hearts and live. Fixing involves doing the work, not having work done for you. People can build the path of liberation from patriarchy, but they can't walk it for you. So, walk the path. Do the work. Be a *man.* www.the-reframe.com/fix-your-hea...

Fix Your Hearts or Die
It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

I would like to see more companies admit this - being a public company no longer means running a successful, thriving business. It strictly means delivering growth to investors, every single quarter, who do not care at all about the product the company sells or the people who produce it.

will water freeze at 25 degrees

Al Overview

No, water will not freeze at 25 degrees; water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius), so a temperature of 25 degrees is too warm for water to freeze.
Explanation: The freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius), meaning that water will begin to turn into ice when the temperature drops below this point.
Key points:
• Freezing point of water: 32 degrees Fahrenheit
(O degrees Celsius)
• At 25 degrees: Water will remain in its liquid state

IMPORTANT PRIVACY PSA: YouTube has foolishly rolled out a new “feature” that will dox you or compromise your privacy without you knowing! When you tap the share button on a video and send a link now, anyone opening that link will see your channel name, handle, and avatar! Enabled by default. 🫪
YouTube share notification showing a red circular avatar at top, with text "Sent by" followed by redacted channel name and handle. Two buttons below: "Allow messaging" (white) and "Not now" (dark). Bottom text reads "Allowing as @" with redacted handle. The image demonstrates YouTube's new feature that exposes user channel information when sharing video links.YouTube Privacy settings screen with a red-bordered section highlighting "Channel visibility for shared links" toggle (currently off). The setting states: "Show your channel name, handle, and profile picture to people who open links you share outside YouTube." Other visible options include "About your location," "Blocked contacts," "YouTube Terms of Service," and "Allow users to mention me" toggle (also off).

1) When the service is free, the product is often you. 2) I always try to figure out what the hook is with free apps. Gameplay loop skips via monetization is the big one. When there isn't a loop skip, the product is definitely you. 3) What the actual fuck.

So, lemme see if I can get this right. Mavs and Stars are arguing over their perfectly nice 25 year old stadium, so now they're both taking their ball moving to the suburbs, building two more stadiums nearly the same size in areas already snarled by traffic and leaving a revitalized downtown?
