I have one of those who knows her place. She’s been there for probably a year now, and I don’t feed her so she must be doing something for me.
She briefly had a friend of the same species set up shop on the other side of the shower. That one didn’t get the memo and decided to wander all over the place while I was showering, breaking the pact. That one went down the drain. The other is still there, months after that event.
I have these for all my chargeable things. Bought like 4 packs with multiple port types, so I have tons of extra cables in case some die. They are great for game controllers, phones, tablets, rechargeable keyboards, and all sorts of other shit. All you need is multiple ends, and you can use the same cables for everything. It’s glorious if you have a mix of port types.
Oh shit lineage was cyanogen? I used that back in the day and loved it!
I’ll keep that in mind, thanks for the tidbit!
I think that was a list of three things: neets, people who take a long time, and people living with their parents.
Because being in uni also disqualifies NEET status (Not in Education, Employment, or Training, so unemployed and not trying to gain skills to get employed)
That tracks.
I’ve been getting Botox for migraines for over a decade and I mentioned to my neurologist how this seems to have impacted my personality. He was unsurprised.
When your face does things without your input, you might find yourself feeling angry or sad or something, and not actually know why. We have some pretty good mirror neurons that make us share physical signals with other people, and we take on their emotional state sometimes as a result.
13-some years ago I started getting Botox for migraines, and my neurologist is…. Thorough. He likes doing a bit extra for cosmetic reasons… not with me; I actively decline cosmetic injections, even when he asks about my lopsided expressions (nah dude, that’s just how I use my face -lopsided- and I genuinely like those use lines; they tell you who I am. I’m not trying to look young forever as my body degrades around me…). I need some of my expressions, like anger and confusion…
But I noticed after my deep forehead wrinkles faded (when I was 25… so not normal age stuff) that I’m just calmer in general without the full range of expressions. I don’t get flustered the way I used to. It’s like paralyzing my facial muscles dulled my response to things that would normally elicit a strong emotional response.
This is obviously anecdotal, but it really convinces me that emotions are as much about bodily response as actual response.
I have no idea, I have prosopagnosia (face blindness) so I don’t bother trying to sort out who is in a given photo. Either way if this pic isn’t from around the 80s, super dated style :)
That’s why I go for basic cuts, solid colors, and timeless patterns. Like this dude (cage or otherwise) I refuse to update my wardrobe to keep up with fleeting fashion. I haven’t grown in 20+ years, why do I need new clothes?Unlike this dude I found a way to make that work without being a sore thumb (even when my hair was pink and purple and people could see me from half a mile away, I felt more comfortable than I’d feel in those clothes)
Unfortunately leapord print and patent leather don’t qualify as timeless. They are very dated. Fashion is cyclical, and we haven’t come back to patent leather or leopard print in a solid while (tho with all the leopards eating faces recently I feel like this is the time to bring back leopard print, if ever!) Especially the shiny pants. Even in the 90s those were outdated.
Now I’m imaging him as the sole person (outside of gimp suit users) who wants that wet black look, and paying through the nose to have new pants made… probably all true, too. Now I’m a bit sad.
In the 80s nobody would have blinked.
It’s a fine outfit, but it’s super dated.
That’s why I’m careful, but there have been times I’ve swung it too far when the adjustment slips, so… very quick path from totally fine to felony.
I use a green laser pointer to sight my telescope…
I’m careful there’s no planes or anything but all the same.

My local bowling alley has a donated pink ball named Virgil. He’s my favorite. 12 lbs which is currently ideal for me, holes are the perfect size and spacing, and he’s almost always available because he’s boring marbled pastel pink, and clearly old.
I’ve never really thought about the max weight being 16 though. I can’t throw that high, even 14 is a bit much… I used to use a random 11 I found at another alley until I found Virgil at the local place (much easier to get to but more expensive because it’s small)
The only stickers I buy are for my kegerator and my 2-gallon ukeg growler from the breweries I visit in my travels… so those go on pretty much right away, unless I forget them.
Sure, if they aren’t just round I have to think about where to put them, to fill as many gaps as possible, but that’s about it.
What sort of places is everyone else throwing stickers?
I used to do this for my cat. He had advanced kidney disease so whatever I could get him to eat was good. He really really liked chicken nuggets specifically, but was mildly allergic to the breading (would give him breakouts leading to scabby sores) so I’d remove it and give him the inside bits. I’d make nuggets for him at least once a week.
What sucks is when you end up super frustrated getting everything to fit, so you rip apart the drawer and put everything back in all nice and wow would you look at that you can fit everything and close it easily!
For two days. Tops.
I’ve been using it for almost a year now.
It… works well enough. I really have no complaints, tho it does have some cookies, which I could do without (I don’t care to track how many trees I’ve contributed to planting, and I’d like a no tracking option) but that’s a pretty small complaint when I clear cookies frequently anyway. If you use ghostery or some other extension that auto-rejects cookies and randomizes data for those it can’t reject, you’ll be fine.
The sponsored listings are clearly labeled, the results typically come up fine. There do seem to be more sponsored results than there used to be, though, so… something to be aware of.
It’s not perfect but it’s a lot better than google, and they use the money for trees (I did look into that claim and it’s true as far as I can tell)
It’s funny to me, but one of my highest ratios was on a torrent that never even finished. It was active for many months stuck at 98%, and the seed never came back. So many people started that one, downloaded what was available, then scrapped the whole thing and found another option…
I’d uploaded ~500gb of a 6gb torrent.
That’s the joy/pain of wanting stuff nobody has available…
I think you might have missed something in your zeal, which is fine. We need more passion about such things. Just directed the right way.
But the point being made before your comment was that anyone should be allowed to sleep -at least in their own- car, which you seem to agree with. And any public parking places where a car can sleep should be fine for a human to also sleep within said car, which you also seem to agree with.
This isn’t about having a car or not, and its not really about sleeping in a car you find, it’s about how it’s used if it is owned by the person who wants to use it that’s being discussed. So if someone already owns a car and wants or needs to live out of it, we can agree that’s ok (everyone involved in this thread is agreeing here). And if there’s a place that is appropriate for cars to be whether anyone is in them or not, that place should be fine with people sleeping as well. (Pretty sure everyone is agreeing with that, too)
So, everyone agrees, yay! No need to condescend when everyone agrees with you :)
If you want to expand the topic to shelter wherever you find it, that’s a great conversation to have. It’s just not actually the one being had.
It certainly has become one for me at any rate…
I used to care a lot about everything, and now I’m just so so tired of trying. Apathy feels like a poplar grove; just keeps growing, spreading, and outcompeting everything else until it takes over and ruins everything, because it takes an absolute ton of energy control spread.
Honestly it’s just so useful. It should be the default.
I picked it up when I lived in Houston, but when I was bartending and stuff after returning to my home state, I’d use it heavily.
Interestingly, though, it made people think I was from another country entirely? Because in absolutely no other way do I sound even remotely southern. (I do use various non-American slang, but not with strangers) Was always a blast to have someone ask where I was from, and try to get them to pinpoint why they didn’t think I was local, when I was born 15 minutes from where the conversation was taking place :p
I had my uterus inflated with saline for an ultrasound screening before an ablation. It wasn’t a lot of liquid, but it was an absolute screaming amount of pain, and they said it wouldn’t hurt… I knew it would because I’ve had several iud insertions but they refused when I requested something, anything at all, for the pain…
