I use Textra on Android and I can select which parts of a message to copy. I'm using the paid version and have for years, so I'm not sure whether that's a standard feature or premium. The day Messages stopped letting me color-code each conversation was the day I quit using it; I can't tell you how many times each person being a distinct color has saved my ass from texting the wrong stuff to the wrong person.

US has imperial for everything but guns and drugs

If we're talking legal drugs, my prescriptions all come in milligrams.

If we're talking illegal drugs, though fractions of ounces or pounds were more common, it wasn't unusual to come across someone selling stuff by the gram back in the day, and I can't imagine that's changed. The weed dude would sell any amount at $10/gram - and yes, I did see someone come with $3 once. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I don't remember the coke dude's prices because that was much longer ago, but he was also totally fine with selling single grams.

Maybe my experience was different because I live in a college town, so the black market was supportive of the small purchases necessitated by student budgets.

Don't we eventually find out the AIs are oppressing the humans and siphoning off their life-force/brain-power through the use of the portal system and that humanity's actual salvation comes from deeply believing in the power of love to the point of developing the ability to teleport to beloved places and people?

I'm very interested in this proverb! How do you use it? Is it sorta the same as "don't count your chickens before they're hatched"?

That cat is straight up high off the thrill of that box! Mine only get stars in their eyes like that when they're lusting after my cereal milk.

 

This picture is from a few years ago, I don't remember what specific stupid shit she was up to that caused her box to get labeled, but it is pretty likely to have involved laying on (and then shredding) important papers or getting accidentally trapped in a closet because it's super fun to sneak in there while the humans are occupied with getting dressed.

The subtle touches on this edit make it totally ๐Ÿ‘Œ I honestly couldn't tell you if it's the matching garlic bulb on the safety seal and label, or the matching background bottles, or the gorgeous texture of the pesto rendered at just the right depth under the bottle, but, mmm ๐ŸคŒ delicious, thank you

The dusting alone would be a full-time job.

I think it kinda looks like she's describing a truly terrible hitchhiking experience, and the other lady just absolutely CANNOT.

It's one misguided poster spamming the shit out of a bunch of instances, but this post itself seems to imply a more widespread problem.

What are you trying to achieve with this post? Would you like to spark conversation about this particular person's crusade ? Or are you the umpteenth poster this month complaining about content referencing Reddit?

Honestly, the bitching about the bitching about Reddit is becoming pretty fucking tiresome, imho. Why are we talking about this? Why did you make this post? Why not just downvote that asshat's content and move on? It doesn't contribute, you allegedly don't care, why post to complain about complaints?
