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.

It’s from the show archer and makes perfect sense in context. He’s an alcoholic, with a hangover, drinking a Bloody Mary as a hair of the dog thing (drink the next day to make the hangover less intense). The video is linked elsewhere in this post.

Horizon zero dawn future coming sooner than anticipated.

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.

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.

Just throw another blade on the handle and she’s got great form, totally unexpected weapon usage. Element of surprise or smth.

$15/hr still isn’t a living wage in most places, just for the record. It’s better than server wages for sure, but it’s not stable-life-level income.

Depends if you can stand to wear a wool turtleneck (over another shirt that keeps the wool only touching your neck).

I can’t stand any turtleneck, personally, for exactly the same reason I can’t do tags. It’s there touching me, and it feels wrong but won’t go away, and the wrongness bothers me. Even super fluffy soft fabrics are wrong on my neck.

I’ve played enough video games to know there’s either some valuable quest item in there, or a really good joke about digging in the toilet for treasures. Zero other options.

If true, that definitely assumes it’s built on a slab foundation or into a basement.

Where I’m from, where full basements are the norm and slab foundations are mostly for commercial properties, it would be entirely above the foundation (first floor is at least 5 foot above the basement floor) and have no impact whatever on sealing.

The only windows pc I still have is my laptop, which has touchscreen and fingerprint scanner. I’m sure both of those things can be worked around (most distros seem capable of touch support at any rate) but I genuinely don’t know what I’m doing trying to make that happen so it stays for now. I use it for one and only one task, so it’s not the absolute worst but I’d like to be rid of it anyway because omfg why does it need updates every single time I go to use it??

My other three computers are on Ubuntu (gasp the horrors!) It’s what I started with back in 2018, and Debian is the only base I actually know any commands for even if it isn’t very many. Plus it’s stable and does what I want out of the box. Except it didn’t register the finger print scanner when I tried. Maybe it would with a bunch of tweaking, idk.

This is why I don’t use them.

The paint in my living room looks diarrhea brown and corpse gray under warm light. It’s purple and blue, and there are a lot of windows so I can’t plan for warm light as a default like I can in bedrooms. Daylight bulbs keep the color what it should be.

And the worst part is the cheap 100% silicone caulk that is useful for 10 billion different things is no longer cheap! Used to be about $1-3/tube and now it’s $6-14/tube.

I used that stuff for everything, especially as an adhesive. Not anymore 😭

It’s one of the few foods I can fully indulge. I want to eat two thousand of everything.

Fun fact about phobias!

You can frequently cure them with pills and a truly slight bit of effort!

Propranolol, a beta blocker that has been in use since the 60s mostly for blood pressure control, has few notable negative side effects, but it has the absolutely -lovely- side effect of blocking fear signals from the amygdala if you have the stones to expose yourself to your triggers while taking it. This exposure coupled with a totally not over-reacting nervous system, can mostly or totally cure phobias.

I watched a documentary about it, where they used it solely in conjunction with exposure therapy (not constantly taking the med), and they had amazing results on common fears like spiders and heights. I realized I had an old prescription, and went “well fuck, why not try to cure my social anxiety? That’s basically a phobia, anyway!” And so I started taking it again instead of the med I was on for blood pressure. The effect happens at doses too low to be noticeable if you don’t need the pressure reduction, but it also works when you have blood pressure doses.

Anyway after about a month of taking it and living life as normal I realized yep, it worked. I don’t panic about going out anymore.

So hey, if you have an irrational fear of something, talk to your doctor.

Here is a probably biased bit of info about it and how it works (it was the best I could find without doing tons of digging for the specific study on phobias, which used 40mg), direct from the people who make it.
