I ‘downgraded’ this year and realized what an upgrade having one of those was. We cannot cede those things.

Too large! Came with bloatware. No other complaints though, I only use my phone for a few things.

Mine is not, it has two shelves which would each fit a 9*5 loaf pan with a little room on each end. Or like four cereal bowls of cookies. They do make bigger ones, but I imagine a microwave probably works just as well for something that gets eaten quickly.

I have one! I love it, it’s got a magnetic door my cat can’t open is one of my best purchases ever. I use it for baked goods, though, not bread. It’s too humid where I am to keep bread fresh at room temperature.

Disagree. These companies are exploiting an unfair power dynamic they created that people can’t say no to, to make an ungodly amount of money for themselves without compensating people whose data they took without telling them. They are not creating a cool creative project that collaboratively comments on or remixes what other people have made, they are seeking to gobble up and render irrelevant everything that they can, for short term greed. That’s not the scenario these laws were made for. AI hurts people who have already been exploited and industries that have already been decimated. Copyright laws were not written with this kind of thing in mind. There are potentially cool and ethical uses for AI models, but open ai and google are just greed machines.

Edited * THRICE because spelling. oof.

Yes! Very luckily my health flares only seem to get real bad for a few days at a time nowadays, so i do have some “real food” mixed in, but as a person who has been struggling with shame about eating less well than i wish i could on those days it is very nice to be reminded that food, literally any food at all, is good enough and in fact an act of love toward myself. Excited to peruse the book for some more ideas

Use napkin for remaining peanut butter before you put it in the sink. Then it will make the spoon less intimidating to wash.

Okay this made me tear up and is perfect. Peanut Butter On A Spoon is a large percentage of what i have been eating lately. I feel seen.

I bought this for my switch after watching a playthrough and can’t wait to have time to play it myself. The writing is SO GOOD and so beautiful. Belongs on my bookshelf with all the other books. Just poetry, and all kinds of themes and resonances. Top tier

I blocked out the existence of bottle caps

Best: milky way, snickers, twix, good plain chocolate, laffy taffys, nerds Bad: lollipops Genuinely Inedible: candy corn

Ed: forgot butterfingers they are also best.

Turn off history. It makes the homepage blank, and you will only see your subscriptions. But, there are still recommendations in the side bar you will have to ignore.

I think ‘cute’ has developed a second meaning that is more in line with ‘stylish, aesthetically pleasing, clever’ than the ‘infant baby child/object’ sense of the word but I don’t know how to explain the difference. Probably the person’s other actions and intent and tone. Is someone being condescending in general, trying to frame someone as less than? Or is their body language/conversation style more geared toward a genuine expression of ‘i think you’re cool and like the way you look/your outfit or idea is nice’. I’m short and I get both - there is a subtle but very unmistakable difference between good cute and condescending cute. I feel the same way about ‘adorable’. The condescending usage of cute in my personal experience comes most often from women.

That just because someone treats you better than you’ve ever been treated before, does NOT mean that they are treating you WELL.

If you were bullied or abused as a kid, do some actual reading about what’s normal and healthy, and get out of a situation immediately if there are any even slightly concerning signs. No second chances, no guilt, no self blame, just go.

Bingo.

I’m so sorry that happened to you. It’s intentionally demoralizing and so fucking unnecessarily cruel. Please hang in there, I truly hope you can get approved soon.

Disability rules are extremely obtuse and unclear to both social security workers and people who need the benefits. See also: this npr story about similar bs.. Fiscal conservatives seem to think that if they make these programs punitive and stressful enough then the people who rely on them will simply stop being disabled (or stop existing).

Yep. Not LDS but years of propaganda that ‘your’ family is ‘people you get to own’ has done real damage. Family values create a fun little hierarchy that many people have been taught to feel entitled to, it’s theirs for ruling over, and taking this socially acceptable power trip AWAY from people who’ve grown to expect it causes BIG EMOTIONS. They don’t seem to see family or societal obligations as real relationships, just requirements to fulfill so they can enjoy a little power. They fundamentally don’t understand that you have to be kind to people and support them if you want them to stay.

Information that should be taught in school heath classes. It makes me queasy how often I have seen this from organizations and unscrupulous people in the wild. Happens a lot on campuses and wherever a lot of people are ‘new’ to an area or otherwise vulnerable socially. Predatory shit.

This is awesome. I’m glad you lucked out like that.
