So, I looked it up out of curiosity and the three most common explanations for the name “nurse shark” are 1) “the sucking sound they make when hunting for prey in the sand, which vaguely resembles that of a nursing baby.” 2) “derived from an archaic word, nusse, meaning cat shark.” 3) “Coming from the Old English word for sea-floor shark: hurse” Link

If you think that’s odd, you’ll find bird names even more entertaining :)

It’s cool that you were able to get so close to one, OP.

Levi’s and G-Star brands both have good quality models of skinny jeans for tall women :)

Summon the cops to your football match.

If your goal was fluency, immigration, or finding employment, I would suggest learning the language of the countries where you would most like to go and which you have the most opportunity to practice in person. It sounds like you want to learn recreationally though, in which case I would say choose the one that excites you more, as you’re more likely to continue learning that way. You can also start by learning the very basics of both and see which you find more engaging before committing to studying one more intensively.

It’s normal to want to share things you found interesting or noteworthy with others and to want feedback in the forms of praise, comfort, advice, reassurance, or even to just have something to talk about during your time apart. I don’t need to know every little mundane detail, but I’m curious about the lives of people I’m close to :)

Hey girl, are you a paleontologist? Cause that camel toe is giving me a bone for you to discover 😏

There’s a humping joke in there too somewhere.

“Your Honor, I was only trying to make his life more meaningful” doesn’t really hold up well in court.

I would argue that challenges are a part of what give life meaning rather than suffering because they can teach us resourcefulness, resilience, gratitude, and provide a sense of accomplishment after completion. But challenges don’t have to include suffering, and the meaning isn’t always a positive thing.

Ultimately it’s up to each individual to decide what gives their life meaning. Who’s to say everything needs to have a meaning anyway? .

When urine a hurry, your bladder decides for you :P

Assuming you’re not interested in quitting caffeine entirely - you can either drink tea before you go to work or try caffeine pills.

There are valid reasons for disliking AI (rather, how it’s being used) and I’ll upvote when a relevant, informed argument is made against it. Otherwise I’ll mentally filter out the low-effort comments that just say “fuck AI” with dozens of upvotes.

Thanks! I’ll check those out :)

Sometimes I do prefer instrumental music for the exact reasons you described. It lets me focus on the music itself instead of music and lyrics simultaneously. If it’s minimalistic enough, I’ll have it playing as I read too. Other times I want something fun to sing along to, or to hear lyrics that resonate with me in certain moods. Almost every form of music has its appeal.

That sounds delicious, and the purple color makes it look even more interesting! I wish ube was sold near me.

It’s not common to see homeless people where I live, so I recognize every one that has asked me for money. I give them a small amount each time or buy them staple foods from the grocery stores (they usually wait outside of the entrance). I don’t think I could afford to do that if there were many of them, so I guess I would be honest when I don’t have anything to spare and give when I have enough.

You would want to provide services rather than physical goods. We don’t know what your skill set is, but some possible ideas can relate to writing/editing, programming, creating digital art or photography, graphic design, and giving any kind of lessons/tutorials/coaching.

You can add filters to unlock origin to remove AI overviews if you are using Google, or add “-ai” at the end of your search query. That, or switch to a browser which doesn’t have AI overviews.

I think what you are describing is just typical filler that you find on recipe websites and not AI. They’re all full of unnecessary stories and links, but most will have a “jump to recipe” button somewhere so you can skip the BS.

It looks good! What else did you put in it?

(I’m so sorry. It was the first thing that came to mind when I thought “one”).

My take on it is that emojis are used more in casual or interpersonal conversations where they do add tone and emphasis. Most of the topics, at least on my feed, are technical or political and emojis either seem unnecessary/out of place there.
