Time to take a break from the eggnog.

MA is a 44-year-old man presenting to the emergency room, unconscious.

Stardew Valley should be lightweight enough, it runs fine on my old-ish Kindle Fire.

Gubbins is a fun word game and a one time payment to unlock the ability to play more than once a day but it kinda chugs on the tablet. It's free to try it at least.

Initially, it depends on the state, afaik eventually you'll need some kind of teaching degree or the like, but a lot of states are so desperate for math and science teachers they will let you teach with just a subject area degree (but a lot of those states are awful to teach in, like Florida).

I regret not growing up in a Dr Bronners household.

I think you get your pick of BSDs.

Amanita Muscaria to save a click.

Not featured in the video, but I've thought about getting an R36S; but I've got a 3ds that can do everything the R36S can do and more if I get it fixed - mine seems to be having a hardware issue...

In your age group, a lot live quiet sad lives never coming out because they don't want to disrupt what they do have. Or they transitioned and disappeared from everyone they once knew - that was incredibly common and the encouraged thing to do for trans people in your generation (if they were allowed to transition, the gatekeepers had to judge you able to pass and conventionally attractive to be allowed to transition). Back then you told no one, there's stories of trans women who transitioned, moved, and got married, and never told their husbands about their medical history beyond their infertility (although that was, presumably, unusual), other than very immediate family trans people fully disappeared. This was the way things were up until the 90s. And that's assuming they ever found the language to describe what was going on - a lot of trans people in your generation killed themselves without ever knowing why things were awful.

Of the people I knew before I came out as trans (in 2012, which was, as far as awareness and acceptance goes was a long time ago), there's at least a half dozen trans people. Obviously I've met a lot more since transitioning, and even not being out anymore I have had so many people come out to me as one of, if not the, first people they came out to. Also, non-binary folks are relatively new in the public consciousness (of course, they've always existed - certain forms of two spirit identities for example, or Public Universal Friend who found their own thing) and many of them would have simply been uncomfortable and gender non-conforming in generations past.

For a myriad of different reasons, "hetero and masculine" guys generally don't seem safe to come out to, especially ones in their 50s, so you only know about the trans people who have to be out to you (and not passing is one way of being forced out). If I met you IRL, I would never tell you I was trans, and you would never know. And I'm more willing to be out than trans people your age.

I grew up in Florida. I didn't see proper snow until I moved to Minnesota as an adult, it kinda blew my mind a bit, lol. I had no idea what was meant when people said the snow glistens - pictures can't really capture the effect.

I've gotten a whiff of the inside of a friend's fur suit once. We lived in Florida and those suits are incredibly difficult to clean. It was an unpleasant experience.

Bazzite is fantastic and it's what I'm running on my gaming laptop, but I've always wondered why you would want to put it on a Steam Deck? Is it for the people who use it as a laptop replacement?

Well, I would have guessed that less brain needs less oxygen, but I'm clearly wrong.

One version of the website from Wayback Machine. He updated his rambling quite a bit. Content warning for all the things.

That's why we moved on to beans, we all needed the fiber.

They've been saying that for the past 25-50 years, there's more fossil fuels to be had, they're just increasingly more difficult to reach (until the permafrost melts...)

It's good we're shifting to renewables, but we could continue our bullshit for the foreseeable future.

The kids-for-cash judge is, imo, worse, and he also got pardoned.

I think the really nasty pardons here, by nature of how they were selected, just ended up being a further continuation of the two justice systems we have for the rich and the poor.

I will point out that Governor Walz is also an example of a politician who clearly didn't enrich his bank account during his time in office (although there's plenty of things to criticize him for, that's not one of them), but yeah I think Walz is largely done on the national stage, he's also not corrupt enough to run for president.
