I recently learned that, too! It’s good during power outages.

Yes, if there a power outage, I have a battery pack.

I was on TV Tropes and I learned about a British anti puppy-mill PSA for a toy dog called Suzy Puppy. The PSA plays out like a toy commercial where a little girl is very happy to get Suzy, but because Suzy has been cruelly raised in a puppy mill where people only sell puppies for profit, she has all kinds of horrible diseases like conjunctivitis and canine parvovirus, and the little girl gets a lot less happy as Suzy's condition worsens and then she dies and the girl has to bury her. It was pretty disturbing.

And then they came out with an official real plush toy of Suzy Puppy, and on the box it proudly says now she has worms!
The toy comes with a birth certificate saying her mother in the puppy mill was killed after Suzy was born, and is only six weeks old (the UK has a law that puppies need to be with their mother for at least eight weeks). She has one bulgy bloodshot eye from conjunctivitis and comes with plush poop because she also has horrible diarrhea (which could be a symptom of parvovirus)

Holy gods.

dafq?

My dog is from a puppy mill.

That's insane.

You may save time. But you dont save "electricity" doing that.

It just means that you laptop has to use more electricity.

Like siphoning gas out of your car into your lawnmower. You dont use less gas. It just means your car has to go to the gas station a little more often. So you use up the same amount of gas.

I know it’s takes more electricity for the laptop, but you don’t have to charge in the outlet & I don’t use my laptop too much.

Not to be so eager to share my card readings or my beliefs online with strangers. There's a lot of terrible people out there who can and would use it all against me.

Earlier today, my mom, my NT sister and I unexpectedly learned that a distant maternal
female relative had committed suicide.

Her body was discovered in her home this morning.

For now on I only share my card readings with people I really trust like auntblabby (who is somewhat into it like I am) plus whoever will humor me. I'm no longet going to force my readings on others.

Today I learned that it's best to stay indoors in the evening instead of going out by myself. I stayed home and I got a lot done. Things aren't as safe outside on the streets and sidewalks as they were 10 years ago.
