Don't assume that I don't know how to read merely because I've massively misinterpreted what you wrote. I actually understood it perfectly, I'm just also annoying

A young gay man looked at me very sincerely yesterday and said, with gleaming earnestness, "People your age still have so much to teach us," and I don't want to go into details, but if anyone has any experience with stuff like disposing of a body, please message me.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

The vast majority of the Child's toddler pals want to be ghosts for Halloween, and when I asked them why, they said, "I like when kids are ghosts," suggesting they don't have a firm grasp of ghost mythology.

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

This now-famous story, published 44 years ago today, was the NYT's first report on AIDS (which did not yet have a name). The subject was considered so minor that the NYT ran only 2 more stories about it in the year following. By the time the story made the front page, the death toll was over 1000.

New York Times headline from 7/3/81: "Rare Cancer Seen in 41 Homosexuals." The single-column story ran on page 20.

I’m 4 years late to this, but why did they make a show of this book but change every detail, including every single character’s name? And then make the thinnest plot imaginable? I don’t understand a single reason for any choice a character makes in this show.
