  • My great aunt has very light hair, and as she got older, you couldn't see her eyebrows at all. She felt people couldn't see her facial expressions as well, so she got them tattooed on. She seems happy with it.

  • I went to my 6 year reunion (they forgot at 5 years) because I loved nearby and thought it would be fun. And I did have fun. It was cool seeing people that I hadn't seen in a while. I skipped the 11 year reunion (Covid delayed it by a year). I moved about 2000 miles away from my hometown, and even though my parents still lived in the area and I could have used it as an excuse to visit them, it just wasn't a huge priority, and I had other trips the same year and didn't want to take more time off work.

    I don't know anyone who lives in that area anymore, so don't see myself going to a 16 year reunion (I feel like it's a tradition at this point to do it one year later) when it happens.

  • I eventually stopped played RS3 because I was really frustrated with the slow pace of development. They would constantly announce new features only to cancel them years later because they were too hard to implement. Their excuse was always that the engine was too old.

    This new game has a completely new engine. It doesn't have 20+ years of tech debt. It (hopefully) isn't held together by rubber bands and paperclips like RuneScape is.

  • I just installed this accidentally by clicking update all in the Discover app. It seems like it was successful and didn't fail halfway, but I'm still confirming that. Everything seems to be working as of now.

    I had to reset a lot of settings, unfortunately.

  • What about when specifying the gender of your friend? "My woman friend" sounds really weird to me. I usually say, "my female friend" because it sounds more natural, but I don't want to sound like an incel/misogynist.

    For what it's worth, I say "my male friend" as well.

  • When I was growing up, saying woman was offensive, because it made people feel old. So we would say "girl". But now It's flipped. Saying "girl" makes people feel too young, apparently.

    I'm still kind of adjusting. The word "woman" still feels icky to me because I was berated for saying it as a kid.

  • Also a musician here. I cared a lot when I was younger, but I have so many other more important things to care about now. You only have so my capacity to care about stuff in your life, and the quality of my music doesn't even come close to mattering these days.

  • Same. I guess I'm hard on my phones, because usually I start having microphones, speakers, and buttons start failing at about the 2 year mark. My last phone was still perfect at the 2 year mark, but I dropped it on carpet from 2 feet off the ground and the touchscreen didn't work anymore. I was leaving on a trip like 3 days later, so I didn't have time to get it repaired.

    So I'm pretty consistent about getting a new phone every 2 years.

    I usually get mid-range phones, though. Like the cheap ones from high end brands. My current phone is the entry level pixel 7, which I got for $500. I don't really mind spending $500 every other year.

  • I'm seriously distraught. I'm normally not the kind of person that cares when famous people die, but it's so upsetting to think about the huge hole that will be left behind. No one can do what he does. No one can replace him. He was still working on Dragon Ball. We will never get more Toriyama content for Dragon Ball. The last time they tried doing Dragon Ball without him, it was GT.

    Toriyama was probably the most influential manga author/artist of all time. He made a massive impact on my life. My wife and I bonded early over our love for Dragon Ball, so it's a very important part of our relationship. We have traveled far and wide to meet the voice actors (bother English and Japanese) at conventions so many times. We have SO many things signed by the voice actors. So much our lives have revolved around Dragon Ball.

    AND THAT'S JUST DRAGON BALL. He worked on so many other things.

    Thank you for all you have done for me, Toriyama.
