I delete the vast majority of what I type out. Mostly stuff that’s personal experience based that, while adding to the conversation, doesn’t really matter to anyone and isn’t that interesting.

I start writing it because I care enough, and stop when I realize nobody else will.

Sometimes I let myself finish fleshing out the thought, then delete it, but often I just get the bulk of my thoughts out and give up when editing it. I’m pretty verbose, and don’t really have much of an outlet in real life, and I’m an anxious mess about interactions, so.. it’s just a way to relieve some of the pressure without it impacting anything.

Yeah, so did I, so I went looking at a few sources, and the takeaway from all of them is what’s above.

The articles are all pretty sparse on detail, but clearly trying to downplay that nothing tangibly changed, and I really don’t fully understand why, when this sort of thing often gets skewered. Maybe because it’s breaking news, and the negativity/reality is yet to come? Maybe it’s a sort of media focus shift toward that stuff actually happening?

Either way, this is definitely one of those “just have to wait and see how this move plays out” sort of things, because it could be great, as the headlines indicate, or it could be the same bullshit all over.

It was the first rpg-type game I ever played and it awoke a passion in me I still have 30 years on.

I still have the cartridge. Don’t have an SNES to play on anymore (I’d just emulate anyway). But I keep that and ff8 on display, for being formative titles.

So.. nothing actually changed, they just moved the case to Missouri. Since Missouri has a state-run program that suffers tangible harm from forgiveness, and Georgia didn’t have standing to sue.

The headlines sound really optimistic about what is basically nothingsauce. Sure they can move forward with stuff, but the situation hasn’t really changed that much.

When you hit 36, skeleton movement will make you wince. And be jealous.

Admittedly, I never read the terms and conditions for the university I attended..

Maybe that’s on me, but I seriously doubt there were any. That’s not really a normal thing an institute of higher learning would have, afaik..

What a bizarre contortion.

Honestly, and I appreciate your feedback, I can’t imagine that’s actually my problem since I don’t have a life, but am super into protecting my personal security. I have 2 browsers running at most, plus voyager. Typically no other apps. And it crashes mostly while I’m actively writing stuff. Not on swapping. That’s why it’s so frustrating.

But like even if that weren’t the case, it would still be super frustrating even if some other related app had a similar problem in the past..? Like I’m asking it be done if possible. I know it’s a big ask.

That would be insidious.

Ok but you do realize that it’s largely because of people like you who did it to be edgy and shit that it’s such a big problem now..? Like you get that, right?

Like sure some places overreact a bit, but that’s not really… justification? And it doesn’t absolve you of contributing to the problem we have now by making people scared by being a weirdo edgelord copycat for funsies.

Cool story bro. Probably one you don’t want to broadcast to the world cuz it’s a pretty fucked up thing to do.

It updates in real time with edits and additions, same with comment replies and stuff that come in while you are looking at a thread.

I don’t think most people know about that feature of Lemmy and the mobile clients (honestly dunno about web clients), but when you are chronically online you see things update in real time quite a bit. It’s super cool :)

Yeah, this being gas powered totally ruined it for me.

I was kinda expecting him to look at the fuel pump and be like this doesn’t fit and then plug it into a random household extension cord type thing to charge..

An actual true fact is that some people have nerves that travel from their belly button to their groin so if you go digging around in the scarred back part of your belly button you may have an interesting sensational surprise.

I’m one such person. It’s not actually a fun sensation, sort of overwhelming/vaguely painful, uncomfortable intensity. But it goes directly into my ladybits, and several people I used to know have reported the same.

I’m only really familiar with Золотой Граммофон, because I wanted pop/dance in Russian to practice, but now I feel like I might be missing out.

(I’m a linguist, not a sleeper, I swear!!)

People do that to me all the time. I just seem to radiate safety and people dump everything. I get that they need it, and sometimes (when I’m in a good headspace) I’m happy to provide an outlet for people who need one, but it gets really exhausting. I don’t even like small talk, I only bother with pleasantries because I’m supposed to, apparently.

(That trauma dumping is totally not the norm around here..)

Even just the bright light from it is a hazard.

I turned down my dash panel for the “plus lights” night mode (my car is a 2012 Honda civic, so night mode is literally whenever I turn on the headlights) because it was so blindingly bright I couldn’t stand it.

I was in car with a friend with a Prius.. not a super new one, but with the central touch center of shit and it never got very dim.. it was always just this distracting light in the middle of the car. I literally would not be able to drive that car, my attention would be drawn to the light because I like dark. But then it also reflects off the windshield and shit and just nope.

I guess the only way to really get ahead of the timing in those places would be to lie and say the last period was a bit over a week ago but you had a condom break and have tested at-home daily since.

I’m sure that’s not foolproof but it would give a bit more time at least. Maybe. Idk if they can tell based on ultrasound or anything at that stage, but I assume not..?

ETA: Actually that wouldn’t help that much since ovulation isn’t until the 14th day after period on average.. you have a baked in two week bullshit time. Plus apparently another 10-20 days before it would even pop positive on a pregnancy test.

So basically banned yeah. There’s basically no way even with lying to meet that timeframe.

I had something similar to this happen at a work holiday party.

I was having a chat with one of the sysadmins, and had him absolutely laughing his ass off (very crude, highly nerdy, somewhat intellectual humor - I’m a very niche flavor, and not that funny at all generally, but someone with a good rapport and similar style? Oh man - we were rolling!). This particular sysadmin is known for being a tough nut to crack, not very social, very stoic (basically how I am in social situations), even “weird”, so this drew a ton of attention, and people, including HR, were coming over to ask what was so funny..

Not my company (partner’s) so I’m not about to repeat shit! Plus they probably wouldn’t have understood the context anyway (tho at this point I don’t even remember; it was years ago, I just remember thinking “there’s really no point explaining this, it won’t be funny to them..)

My personal hierarchy here would be:

• Bear
• Random man
• Swarm of giant killer wasps that will chase your ass for miles if you piss one off
• Dangling over an active volcano like a rotisserie chicken
• Encountering trump anywhere

Although… if it’s -just- us, no handlers or secret service, I’m pretty sure I could easily fuck him up (and not in a way he’d enjoy). I may be a tiny disabled woman, but he’s a senile old fuck (what is he, almost 90?), who can’t even get his posture right, and those tiny hands are made for reaching into other’s pockets, not grappling. What hope does he have against a former wrestler and military vet, even a broken one?
