A good thought, if you are planning to buy one from a breeder! Don’t do that (unless you are a farmer who needs a very specific breed of working dog). By adopting instead, you can ethically have a companion, imo. The animal life already exists, so by giving it a good home, you’re engaging in harm reduction. Don’t forget to slay and neuter those pets!

Fair enough, thanks for chiming in and correcting me! I’ll remove mine too, so it’s not overly antagonistic in an inappropriate place (though I do think what I said was accurate, just not the place to discuss it, haha)

I have a surface duo 2 right now, and had the Motorola razor (rip the iconic chin design they ditched with the new models) before that. Emulating the ds on a flip phone is goated

Shut up and bring out the ravioli

Thanks, I’ll try this!

How do you update manually? It won’t let me anymore since an update (the update button is always grayed out now)

I’ve definitely been there as well; it can get spooky. It’s funny you mention that, my first (and thankfully only) really bad experience with hallucinating during sleep paralysis happened the first time I moved into an apartment on my own. I had to run out of there and drive around to calm myself down at like 3 in the morning. Wishing you peaceful nights!

Yes! Mine definitely preys on my anxiety of having someone break in when my husband is gone for an overnight shift. I have to check the doors and windows before I can get back to sleep.

Haha, I am aware, thank you

Intend to watch the full thing later, but I already love his style based on the opening minutes! The interviews remind me of old PBS/Nova style documentaries where so much of them was just letting people talk and tell their stories. Very cool!

Hopefully since covid forced a lot of hospitals to shut down their nurseries and switch to what’s called “rooming in” where a baby stays with mom pretty much at all times, this happens less than it already did.

Heck, I’m just out in podunk Oklahoma, where we are a bottom 10 state for women, but even here, the hospital we picked to have our kid does all procedures in the room right where you can see after baby is born, and hands them right back to mom. They never leave you (unless you elect for a circumcision for some god awful reason), which is a huge relief for me. I was gonna be ripping out that epidural and catheter so fast to follow my fucking infant if they took him from out of my sight for even a minute.

The Long Dark soundtrack is absolutely goated

My exact reaction to Starfield. Will almost certainly be the same for ES6

They…aren’t? They’re free demos, right there in the title.

I’ve been enjoying LibroFM instead of Audible. Same subscription/credits per month model, but a portion goes to support a local bookstore of your choice. Feels way better to do that than give any extra money to Amazon.

Cope, pussy

Haha, “why so defensive”?

Right, but if the person I was talking originally to had said “I’m not from the US so I know nothing about it” it woulda been fine and I would have immediately apologized and we’d go from there. Having a nice chat.

That’s not what happened. Someone new chimed in with a pretty rude non-sequitur in the vein of ‘stupid Americans’. I don’t think I was particularly defensive or angry, but maybe it came off that way.

I definitely don’t? I was just providing my experience for the place I live. Obviously not all places are the south…? And good for you on your ‘more civilized place’, but we’re not talking about those areas.

Seems to me that, to solve rent crisis, Americans should just move into Europeans’ heads, since we seem to live there rent free already.
