They were trying to capture the dialect of a pensioner. I’m positive the word choice was intentional.

How about slim pillows? I usually put two in a pillowcase. Example: https://a.co/d/drT0UwS

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

I listen to many, but here’s my favorites:

• Chilluminati: Takes a comedy focused look at supernatural, paranormal, and just weird topics. After a few episodes, the hosts really build excellent rapport. When it is at its best, it reminds me of some weird AM radio program you’d catch while night driving across the country.
• The Beef and Dairy Network: The leading podcast about beef animals and dairy herds. Start at episode 1.
• The Climate Denier’s Playbook: “Rollie Williams (Climate Town) and Nicole Conlan (The Daily Show) are two comedians with Master’s Degrees in Climate Science & Policy and Urban Planning. But don’t get too excited, because they’re here to examine the pervasive myths and misinformation campaigns that are making it obnoxiously difficult to address the looming climate crisis you’ve probably heard about.”

Just a reminder that the designer of the West of Loathing games is an accused abuser.

You know the difference? I don’t have to actually drive when I take the train. I can do literally anything else, especially if wireless is available.

It’s like people who say, “I don’t need a dishwasher, I can wash them in half the time!”. Yeah, sure, but I don’t have to fucking wash them. Not to mention the environmental and health benefits which, incidentally, works for trains too.

I used Twitter for emergency updates, saved me multiple times.

What possibly was the logic here?

You have also made a good argument for socialized energy production. Any time you run into these situations where the optimal solution for a good society requires and is anti-profit, that’s a good place for socialized ownership.

At first, I was going to pass on destroying music, but then I remembered the anger I feel any time I have to see Peter Pan because, in part, the fucking racist shit that is What Makes the Red Man Red. Maybe I could work out a deal to erase the entire movie…

Before anyone attempts to defend it with, “it was a product of the times”, know that the play Peter Pan is based on was considered shockingly racist at the time and Disney’s solution to that was to double down on the racism so that nobody would take it seriously.

This is because Mary Poppins lied to us. It isn’t a spoonful of sugar that makes the medicine go down, but something with a bit of salt in addition to that sugar. Salt masks bitterness.

I have zero Joe Rogan on my feed. You are literally making it worse by engaging with his content in any way (down votes being a big one). Just completely ignore content you don’t like and it’ll go away over time.

I’m showing my age, but back when IE was basically the only browser and Firefox (Firebird back then) launched, people often lamented that things didn’t work in Firefox. The solution? People used Firefox and web developers were forced to make their shit work in Firefox. When Chrome came out, suddenly we had three real options and the way to make everything work? Open Standards.

Now, Chrome is in the position IE was back before Firefox came around. How ever will we make sure things work in Firefox??? Use Firefox. If enough people dump Google’s malware browser, the web has to go back to supporting multiple browsers through open standards.

How wonderful if that were true. It used to be commonplace and it made it harder to demonize the other side. People were able to compromise and work together on things. Now that they can’t spend evenings reaffirming their mutual humanity, they spend their days talking past each other.

Your situation is more likely to be caused by Android’s system to make sure you don’t forget your pin. It has a number of unlocks (and a length of time) before it forces you to do the code.

Jojo Rabbit goes from a heartwarming dark comedy about a boy that is living through WW2 and his imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler, into something very different that is too much of a spoiler.

On the contrary, during the great formula shortage of 2021/2022, Amazon Prime and the recurring delivery option was the only way I was able to get formula for my twins. Speed was important l, but so was Amazon’s huge supply chain.

Since then, we live in a remote place and getting some stuff just isn’t possible at the one store near us. Amazon is really one of the best ways to get things we need. Now, of course, I hate them, but I also hate Walmart and don’t really have choices beyond those or a gas station convenience store.

Met my wife in highschool and got married right out of college. We are now pushing 40 and are still happy and content. We were lucky, we grew together and in similar ways, but we also just knew when we knew. We even had twins a few years back and even the stress of that didn’t destroy us.

We (hopefully) still have many years together and maybe things will break down, but, so far, neither of us regret marrying so young.

Maybe you can go talk to Gödel. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gödel's_incompleteness_theorems

I respectfully disagree with one major caveat. I’ll get that out of the way first; I think there should be a name for these foods that recognize the creators (e.g. Italian American food is American food that comes from Italian immigrants). We’ve traditionally been bad at giving credit or, worse, using names to mark a cuisine as “other” and weird.

The thing is that there really isn’t a food of a place. People use ingredients that are available and use techniques from the people around them. When cultures interact, they create remixes of cuisine that take unfamiliar ingredients and techniques and create something new.

Let me use the food of my own home, New Mexico, as an example. The food of the region is a mixture of Spanish colonizers, later Mexican immigrants, and Native American foods using a crazy combination of techniques and ingredients from all three. It isn’t Spanish food. It isn’t Mexican food. It isn’t Native American food. It is New Mexican food, a thing that arose from a place and its history. Now, with Asian immigrants moving in, the food has started to incorporate stuff from those cultures too.
