You just bought a mint condition lego classic spaceman, you get home from work/school and find out your dog/little sibling/neighbor broke it and won't pay for it

I am SUPER upset that my dog is not willing to pay for my mint condition lego classic spaceman I mean seriously? get a JOB. you're supposed to be man's best friend not man's best freeloader

as long as i'm not looking at research or doing anything illegal, they don't care

my mom doesn't even care if I look at research
and as long as it wasn't like, drugs or cp or something, I don't think she cares about illegal stuff either

good job copying and pasting Badspot's rules without any effort

they're pretty generic. chances are badspot copied most of his from someone else too, and added more as needed

someone told me about something that happened to them once. and I didn't know how to handle it. I just said some incredibly inadequate whatever. I think it was just like, "oh..." or something
idk. but I regret that a lot. and idk how to apologize for it. much less do I know what I really would've said if I'd been a better friend when they told me

loving christ, she said she was only grounded. I got so worried.

I would be so pissed

Megabits for some reason is used in speedtest.net, which further confuses things.

it's used there because that's what ISPs promise speeds in. which is shady imo but whatever

I'm judging this by what steam is telling me so I wouldn't be surprised if the measure is wrong because steam might have decidied to stylize its download screen with uppercase letters.

nah. valve is a professional company. something like that would take priority over style

What exactly is "purpose" here?
Women exist to make babies, men exist to fertilize them.

it's more like
the two lovees were created initially because we needed loveual reproduction
but at this point we aren't just for that

I'm confused because what I'm looking at shows a clusterforget of conversions and units.
What I mean, if it helps, is that my internet can only download about 800kb of information in a seconds time.

if the b is lowercase it's bits. if it's uppercase it's bytes

if you're using speedtest.net it's gonna give it to you in bits
but if you're using steam or google chrome or something it's probably gonna tell you in bytes, which are just 8 times as big as a bit

like
1 or 0 are bits
0001011 or 01110001 or 10101010 are bytes
idk if that's how... anything works. but it's a good place to start maybe
