preach. i had to ask multiple people to stop leaving voice messages in our activist group chats. i can read about ten times faster than someone can speak, and i don't want to listen to "um, ah, it's like, well, it's like..." for 15 seconds while they gather their thoughts. plus you can't skim back through a voice message if you forget part of what they said, you have to take a guess at where to seek to and then wait for them to get to the point again.

gather your thoughts, type them out in a text message, and you won't be wasting anyone's time.

was about to call bs and say that it's only one crouton, but then I looked at the source and saw there was some JS code to load one of eight random croutons. I have JavaScript disabled, so that explains it, but I went and loaded croutons 1 through 8 manually. delicious and crunchy

send this post to my former doctor's office

i had a prescription for hydroxyzine, and the pharmacy literally gave up after they couldn't get a response from the doctor's office to renew the prescription

going to a new doctor later this month, hopefully the OTC diphenhydramine won't give me dementia in the meantime

...hey! I'll have you know I listened to a Solar Fields album last sunday, and it only took sixteen minutes before I heard a second note!

that round where they guessed the right answer based only on 7:36 pm was crazy

also I have to point out that in the telescope picture, the red arrow was actually pointing to the eyepiece, not the finder scope. the finder is the mini telescope attached to the body of the big telescope. they messed that one up

another fun quiz show is Says You!, but that one is a radio show.
