It doesn't hurt to be paranoid, unless your tinfoil hat gets stuck in your hair.

I'm told that people who go bald are genetically predisposed to paranoia.

Just because some people got together in a thankful manner to remember the good things that happened previously does not make that event a (or the first) "Thanksgiving" in the sense of the modern holiday.

Sometimes, I think it would be nice to have autocorrect give you statistics. https://levisan.me/blog/why-no-love-for-autocorrect

If I ever get decommissioned while biking because I'm not wearing a helmet, it's up to you awesome followers to make sure it's not spun into a "helmets should be forced by law" story.

My brother (in 🇳🇱) sent me this picture of a plug on the wall in his new apartment. What is it called? What does it do?
