Unfortunately, the “voting for your kids” idea is already in their heads.

Sorry for your loss. :hug:

The recurrent laryngeal nerve. Our liquid waste evacuation tubes sharing space with our reproductive organs. Our reproductive organs being immediately adjacent to our solid waste evacuation tube. Hangnails. Acne. Teeth (god damn luxury bones).

But my go to for “if there is a god, they’re not worth worshipping” is always Children’s. Bone. Cancer. Those 3 words should not fucking go together.

Close, but that’s Texas Gov Abbott. Easy mistake, as they’re both giant pieces of shit.

I love when I’m troubleshooting something, click on a record link from like 2018, and get a modal encouraging me to “join this trending conversation!”

How long does a book have to go without being checked out to be purged?

The airline pilot?!?

Palmer’s ::shudder::

I tend to agree. Admittedly without having thought too deeply about how it would work, I kinda think there needs to be 2 internets: one that is anonymous and one that isn’t. The anonymous one is vital for people to be able to freely dissent from and protest their government, etc. The non-anonymous one would be, as you said, something that can assess responsibility back to specific people. Idk. I’m just spit balling. Fascism, through unchecked capitalism, is killing the Internet. 🫤

It’s a Castrati revival!

I’m 6’4" / 193cm, so I’m taller than most.

I buried Little Ann by the side of Old Dan. I knew that was where she wanted to be. I also buried a part of my life along with my dog.

Are you talking about Joel Michael Singer? The Joel Michael Singer who headbutts people and then gets his ass locked and then begs his daddy to use his money and influence to remove the evidence from the internet? That Joel Michael Singer? Because that guy is Joel Michael Singer, and that’s the only Joel Michael Singer I have ever heard of.

Any tips on finding cheap used ones, other than scrounging eBay and the like?

Oh, the humanity!

To those giving you shit about cutting horrible people out of your life and saying you need to go visit…

Bullshit. Fuck that noise. I have family that I’ve cut out as well (although, luckily, not my parents). I’m 100% open to them rejoining my life, but their hatred for others is stronger than their love for me, and I won’t allow them back until that changes. Spoiler alert: it probably never will, because there’s no love like Christian “love”.

“Agree to disagree” is reserved for things like “I don’t like coffee.” Not racism, homophobia, and sexism. Not human rights. Not basic common decency. If I unfriend you during this, it IS personal. We do not have a difference of opinion. We have a difference in morality.

I fucking hate these “personality assessments”. This is from one I just took the other day. One of around 50 questions.

I heard this in my head to the beat of “Bite the hand that feeds,” and it actually works pretty well lol

Really fucking cool.

Yeah, I’m neurodivergent and have a terrible memory. My life is full of alarms and notes and reminders for everything, otherwise nothing gets done.

While I’m well aware of the insidiousness of tech’s ever increasing privacy violations, I also look forward to things like AI being able to function as a full blown personal assistant to help me run my life.
