Why does this have so many down votes? Am I missing something?

I really mistrust any picture I see online now. It's scary I think. I'm still not convinced about this one.

On my long commute I usually listen to:

We can be weirdos: Dan Schreiber from "No such thing as a fish" interviews some interesting people about their odd (and often supernatural) experiences.

Dark Histories: A very thorough dive into a specific crime case or strange event from history. The host really goes deep into the subject which is cool.

No such thing as a fish: most people know it I assume.

Loremen: a little like Dark Histories, but on the funny side, about folklore and history.

My mate bought a toaster: people getting interviewed about their Amazon purchase history. It's pretty funny.

They were "shh" back in the day, but with time they have become more of a place for activity for the community. When I was a kid in the 80s and early 90s they were definitely more strict with keeping quiet, especially in the reading halls. Library history is actually quite interesting, and the whole development of the library as a key element in building and supporting democracy and community, is worth looking into.

Does anyone know what exactly a "home girl" is? My first thought was an unmarried girl who still lives at home with her parents, but I suppose it could also be a housekeeper of some sort?

I can't see the whole plant and I could be wrong, but you could have a variegated Monstera on your hands.

My own Monstera is doing well, and I don't water it too often. Usually once a week and limited. But I have the feeling that all plants are a little different. It could also lack nourishment.

I know it's a joke and I appreciate the meaning of the original comment, but I don't think you need to constantly challenge yourself to enjoy life. Sometimes it's ok to sit back and enjoy what you have and what you know. Just as long as you don't settle and forget to be open to new things that could enrich that life.

Yeah, it really makes you question humanity. I hate that some people have to go through that sort of thing everyday.
