What are you doing when you save something? You’re keeping it in its current state, held in stasis, to be retrieved later. Maybe using freezing imagery (like a snowflake) could get that concept across, and it would retain its meaning over time.
Another way to think of saving is storage - putting something in a convenient location for later access. A safe might be a useful image, but it implies security. Other types of storage devices seem too likely to change with time. Maybe a pocket? If there was a way to graphically represent putting something in your pocket that would be a fairly universal and durable image.
My mom goes to a quack chiropractor. He mostly sells her vitamins (by magically divining what she’s deficient in using straight-up fraud “kinesiology”) but keeps her believing by occasionally giving her medically significant advice. He’s still grifting her decades later off of saying she was deficient in magnesium after she complained about constipation. Yeah mom, it worked because that stuff is a laxative. No mom, he couldn’t tell you were deficient because your arm was stronger while holding a vial of magnesium. He’s just changing how hard he pushes on you. It’s fraud mom.
New spa treatment: let the bats nibble me a little.
Needful Things kinda hits this. It’s a novel, but it’s Stephen King so it goes quick.
We frequently leave low earth orbit. We land shit on the moon, on Mars, on asteroids. We just don’t bother sending people. This guy is just straight up wrong.
He looks like Zuckerberg fucked Ellen DeGeneres.
I love the visible stitching on him, it makes him look homemade.
A visualization you could try (this obviously isn’t going to match the physical reality necessarily) is what would happen if you had two vortex phenomena (like tornadoes or whirlpools) spinning in opposite directions and they collided?
Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.
Those are minerals.
Thank you. As the inventor of the term “mansplaining”, I had no idea and would have remained ignorant if you hadn’t explained this.
Let’s hope “The Stand” isn’t next.
Takes one to know one, I guess?
if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
Don’t care who buys it, or if it’s been demolished or moved or replaced or whatever. It’s still Mile High Stadium.
Also everyone who worked in a business that burned down probably just lost their job.


The new buttons for commenting and voting take up a whole bunch of space at the bottom of each comment. I think it would be more compact and readable if those buttons move up to the top of the comment.
The comment button could move right next to the three dot menu (or comment could become an option in the three dot menu).
The vote buttons could be combined with the vote counters already displayed (i.e. click the upvote arrow or upvote count to upvote the comment).
I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!


I framed my favorite birb art from the internet, here’s a photo of my little buddy checking it out. He looks rather unimpressed.
