Agree, the shame and embarrassment I felt about trying Crocs disappeared the moment I took my first step in them. I now hate wearing any shoes that are not Crocs.
Oooh this is what I did too - recent convert here, I saw them becoming the new 'fashion' and I'm weak and decided to try them because people would not shut up about how comfy they were.
Now my favourite part about coming home is taking off my outdoor shoes and getting to put the Crocs on. They have no business feeling that divine. If I lived in a more temperate and dry place, I'd buy more for outdoor use. Any shame or embarrassment I may have initially felt about wearing them is gone.
Right now, UK public sector is absolutely dire. A lot of us are wildly overworked and underpaid. I've honestly considered going back to the private sector because I could be earning about £10-15k/pa more, but at least in my specific sector I have guaranteed job security and some (largely false at this point) sense of making a positive contribution to the society I live in.
Job progression isn't easy, especially now because of cuts and recruitment freezes. There's no benefits other than always getting public holidays off. Our pensions were wrecked in 2015 and won't even compensate for it.
Yeah that's exactly why I paid for it. Think it's a great app and want to support them over time. Agree that free version serves the purpose just as well though!
The only thing I don't like (not sure if this feature is present on desktop) is that you can't extract and chart activity data over long periods of time. E.g. I want to see patterns of activity, but not relative to mood or other activities.
Do vegans generally accept that figs are okay to eat?
I grew up with a crazy vegan mother who dragged me to the outings of her crazy vegan club and they were all vehemently against eating figs. We don't even live in a place where figs are common import, but they were so mad about it.
I have photophobia (and photosensitivity!) so dark mode is the only tolerable way to look at things for me.
Since dark mode has become a lot more prevalent/accessibile there's been a notable reduction in headaches/migraines for me, especially in conjunction with 'night light' settings, and an anti-glare glasses coating.
I'm just annoyed about the lack of consistency in what products do and do not support a dark mode, especially when other products in the same suite do.
I'm limited to using MS Office at work and love that Word, Outlook, OneNote and Drive all have dark themes and a quick toggle button to check accessibility/accommodate light-lovers if I'm screen sharing... But why was Excel left out ☹️? And a bunch of other apps, like Planner and Forms.
I'm getting this too, but I've not tested it enough across different instances/communities.
I'm trying to respond to something on a different instance. I did respond to one comment, and then the next I went to throws this error (so I tried on 2 other browsers and Connect with no lick). Dunno if it's a rate limit or something, as I've cleared caches, cookies, logged in/out, triple checked language settings, etc.
Have you ever tried some sort of stimmy food like pepitas? They're kinda a pain to eat if you're not used to it. I can do one at a time and don't have the best success rate of even getting the seed out 😂.
So I think "kill" is fine for the Tiktok censors as it can be used in various contacts that don't necessarily mean death. Murder, suicide, and rape are definitely words that will get your content or comments removed, hence "grape" (or r@pe), "unalived". Which is a bit frustrating when educational creators can't actually talk about their specialist subjects but oh well.
After the blackout, it seems the Admin sent out a generic message to mods of every private sub giving them a deadline to reopen, regardless of whether that sub had already been private prior to any talk of a blackout. Examples give in this post.
TLOU is good and potentially fits the criteria, I'm not sure actually, as the main female character is a child so inherently vulnerable and kinda reliant on this achey old man to ferry her through the apocalypse. Would still recommend, I cried like a baby through certain parts.
The Sean Astin character I'm referencing is in Stranger Things S2. I think has at least one potential example of female gaze (as a compliment to Winona Ryder's character).
Stranger Things probably isn't great for other metrics though, like the Bechdel test.
