The same could be said for lemmy lately. Every other post is horny.

Not really an option to not have a phone line of some sort and insurance, you know?

At least it’s pre-paid and I can bounce whenever I want. Don’t even have to cancel, just port my number.

I’ve switched everything I can away from subscriptions, even swapping to pre-paid phone plan. If I could do the same with my Internet or insurance, I absolutely would.

I like not having small-ish amounts of money come out every month. It’s easier to plan for a big chunk once a year. It’s also much easier to see tiny customer-fucking price increases because they represent a greater difference in annual payment over monthly.

Gross enough, but I usually just use my pinky finger to dislodge it and then blow it out in a tissue. I’ve tried using things like cotton swabs, but they just cause bleeding, and neti pots just rehydrate it and make me congested. But because they moved my septum over, my pinky goes all the way up until it hits a bone ridge, roughly the entire length of said pinky in there, which is where the stuff forms up, lots of wrinkles and stuff up there to catch on.

I had sinus surgery in my teens and as a result I know exactly where that crust builds up, because it no longer sheds automatically for me, and has to be manually removed regularly! Super fun!

However, it feels exactly the same amount of satisfying you describe… almost every time.

I only do this when I’m reasonably sure we disagree and it will potentially start an argument. I enjoy explaining things to people and figuring out how to get them to understand. It’s communication skills, and I practice them frequently.

Biting my tongue, though, is so so so hard. Very worth it, especially in public, but so so hard.

Yeah, I’m not arguing with that, just with the claim that they update instantly. Never said anything about anything else, and don’t plan to :)

I’ve heard they actually take a while to update, like a couple of minutes, due to being super-cheap e-ink screens, but I have no way to personally confirm this.

I think you might have missed my last line there. :)

I’m not terribly familiar with those specific works, but there certainly are some that are actually worth the time investment. I just personally find most of it that I’ve tried not to be, for me and maybe OP up there, because they lack depth (being intended for younger audiences). I read through young adult stuff in elementary school and moved on to whopper 1,000+ page books around 5th grade (read sphere and the third pandemic that year), so admittedly I don’t have a lot of experience with more modern YA stuff, tho what I have explored has sometimes been far superior to what was available when I was young. And the shows made for younger people are also sometimes real gems, like adventure time.

Horizon zero dawn future coming sooner than anticipated.

Most of the fiction I’ve been exposed to (which is a lot, I enjoy it very much and always have) isn’t like that. They don’t just describe someone as strong or evil, they describe actions and events and emotions from a specific perspective and let you come to your own conclusions.

I guess if you like stuff made for kids, teens, and young adults, you’ll run into that problem a lot more, but it’s not actually an overall problem with fiction as far as I’ve noticed. I’ve never really liked young adult fiction though, because it’s lacking in depth, much like you describe (some exceptions do apply of course).

I’m almost 40 and still ride my shopping cart through the parking lot whenever it’s heavy enough to hold me. Life is too short to grow out of fun.

Wouldn’t it be wild to find out that the galaxy is teeming with advanced intelligent life but they want nothing to do with us because literally all of them are peaceful?

That was such a sad episode :(

I have a non-chain fast food place near me, doesn’t even have indoor seating, just a small waiting space (holds maybe 10 people if you pack them in such that the personal space bubble is tiny) and some picnic tables, but no drive-through.

They’ve managed to keep prices pretty low; Big Mac or whopper equivalent is $4, for example and I think fries are some 2.50 for the large. While that does add up since everything is ordered individually, the quality is superior and it’s local-family-owned, so well worth it. And it’s very very popular even without the drive-through convenience. The local McDonald’s hardly gets any traffic by comparison.

Just goes to show it can totally be done, if not for outright greed.

99 red balloons as well imo.

So can something heavy that depresses one of the directional keys.

Or at least that used to work, been a few years since I tried it.

The brain stops developing at age 23.

No it doesn’t. The brain continues to develop and change throughout the lifetime of the organism.

No worries, those services are pretty hit or miss for me as well.

Thanks for the link, I’ll watch this later today :)

Do you have a link to it? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it, so idk what to look for.
