  • They don't creep me out but I fucking hate birds. They're so goddamn noisy. When I hear a bird near my window screaming, something primal in me activates and I wanna climb out on the ledge and throw rocks at it to make it shut the fuck up.

  • idk what to say beyond 'yeah I've been there' which doesn't feel like it contributes anything

  • Wow thank you for the comprehensive write up! At this time we won't be getting a new car--my husband and I are squirreling away our money for a down payment in the event we ever find a house, and since both our cars are still in fantastic condition, that takes precedence. But I will save your post, just in case!

  • Oh bummer, those latter things ARE what I was wanting. That's too bad. I'm not very interested in Android Auto, I'm perfectly content with having my phone on a mount with an aux cord.

    It looks like the remote starter and a rear/dash cam combo might be it!

  • Thank you!

  • I thought a rear/backup cam would be nice. I don't know what other options there are that are worth going. If the answer is 'none' then I'm glad I asked :)

  • All right. I ignore the fact that I will be fired, do what I want in a way that cultivates the most customer happiness, get fired, post on the internet about it, then go back to what I was doing, a little richer for my stint, laughing at the PR shitstorm Hasbro has once again called down on itself. Then I go play Pathfinder.

  • Shoot I have a LOT. Documentaries and educational youtube channels are my JAM. If people like my top picks here and want more recs, let me know and I will spill out my list of followed channels.

    But the top ones that spring to mind:

    Most of Barely Sociable's work (especially the two parter on bitcoin) but of all of his, my absolute favorite is The Dark Side of the Silk Road.

    Again, most of Lemmino's works, but particularly Cicada 3301: An Internet Mystery

    and honorable mention to Summoning Salt for The Quest to Beat Matt Turk a documentary about the history of Mike Tyson's Punchout speed running.

  • That was so good, even as someone who has never associated with EVE Online.

    I think my favorite DTRH was about the Final Fantasy House.

  • I think for calling out a sponsorship on a video about greed?

    I don't generally begrudge content creators their sponsorships, gotta pay the bills somehow, god knows youtube's going to do everything in its power to make sure videos get demonetized.

  • They do! Kurzesgast has a few videos about ants and one of them looks at a slaver ant!

  • Nope. Only if I overfill, then some gets in the cap.

  • Me too! I wound up switching over to a pitcher with a built in metal mesh filter though. If I ever need to make a double batch or something though, I've still got it.

  • Hey thanks for posting this--both the original post and your own anecdote. I think personal hygiene is something that should be more comfortably chatted about. It's weird cause most people are like "ew TMI" and yeah it can wind up in that space, but at the same time, I think there's a lot of stuff people are lacking in knowledge in just cause it's kind of embarrassing to talk about!

    Anyway I think I also had this in my early 20s; at least I hope so. I remember scrubbing harder and harder under my pits and one day seeing something slough off and until recently I've always assumed I killed a bunch of skin and it all came off. But given the symptoms I had been having at the time, I think this might have been it.

  • First thought: Oh shit! That's terrible, poor thing. :( Second thought: Haha arborist must be ripped to be taking out sedans.

  • Helping me break down annoyingly long/poorly formatted code segments so I can think more clearly about how to troubleshoot them.

    Generating meal plan ideas (I generally do my own thing but having it pick out proteins for any given day of the week helps me to mix things up)

    Assisting me as a GM in games for the reasons other people have already mentioned. I also have my hands on a module that lets an LLM pose as an NPC and give dialogue when spoken to that is absolutely fantastic when my players want to talk to some random NPC I don't give a shit about.

    Those are the biggest and most every day things.

  • Yes, I absolutely love this. I bought a deck of attack description cards that make hits feel more interesting by describing the action in cool ways, but it had nothing for misses, so I fed chatGPT some examples from the 'hit' list and asked it to make me a miss one, and it's been great.

  • "Did you know you break my heart every time you refuse to show me affection?"

    My cat loves my husband but not me.
