Technology@beehaw.org•AI Bros Wanted Trump. Now They Learn What Happens When You Tell Him No.English

AskBeehaw@beehaw.org•What does it mean when you've been consistently talking with an ex you divorced 10 years ago, and you don't fight?English
0·12 days agoWell, until you consider the fucking.



















One thing being unresolved would be a significant improvement. I’d imagine a successful endgame would be living next door to each other. Now she just needs to move into a van.
