This is one of those “they were so concerned with if they could do it, they didn’t stop to think if they should” sort of things.

Portable cd players were never actually that portable, because cds are just big. Minidisc players sure, but those never really caught on. MP3 players, however, caught on because they are small and easily portable, and the library doesn’t take up a binder.

Only scabs cross the line.

I come from a union family and walked way further than I thought it would be to see sanders speak at a union hall. Worth it.

The strike that happened a week or so before the event would have had me staying home, had it extended, though. Even tho I only ever saw one single person on the picket line. Only scabs cross the line.

It’s not true for any piercing, so no.

The jewelry should be non-reactive metal, and thus doesn’t have a distinct flavor. Unless you’ve never tasted anything cooked on stainless, in which case you might notice it.

But likely? No.

I’ll use it if you do.

Pinky swear?

Green pimento olives and kiwi together??? 🤢

At first I thought this was some sort of fruit salad jello, but it isn’t. It’s just… everything.

Ham? Carrots or maybe cheddar? I assume the whipped shit is egg? Maybe fish on top or something, and then peas, olives, and kiwi..? Just why..?

Prepare some side quests to give a potential mate, obviously. Then stand around in a light beam and wait.

It’s so weird, I don’t even notice the lack of ads most of the time (pihole, never leave home, so it’s roughly the same experience I'm used to)

But when I go out? Oh man fediverse is the only site I’ll use because I know it’s safe from ads. The other privacy/user-focus stuff is just a bonus.

(I don’t have any friends around here, so just sort of go out to be out, and usually for food)

It took me about 6 months of having all the time I wanted to actually start making a sizable dent on the backlog of projects. Recovering from adhd-flavored burnout is no quick thing.

Honestly I enjoy when I get all riled up and prove myself wrong before I post whatever bullshit I was going to write. Because I learn something and did a lot of work for it so I won’t make that mistake again.

What bugs the fuck out of me is when I’m right and I know it for a fact.. but I can’t find the right evidence because I can’t remember the right string of words to get through SEO hell, and there’s nothing to dispute it, but it’s just hard to find. And then I get bored looking and give up even replying.

Surprises of that sort aren’t really the problem, tho that would be.. wild.

The intentional abuse of the devices would be the problem, as would unintentional misuse (eg they are in the wrong position and it misses entirely, or they don’t know what it is and mess with the controls while standing in front of it).

This is my absolute favorite thing about the internet.

People doing harmless stupid shit and telling everyone else about it.

Seriously, the best, because then I don’t have to try it myself.

Yeah, if I’m being honest, I don’t care a lick about what someone who was being actively poisoned for months wants for their attempted murderer in this sort of incident. It shouldn’t even have been a remote consideration.

Dynamic like this, wouldn’t surprise me if he’s been worn down over the years and just accepts the situation.. I’m not saying I have any sort of insight here, but really bad calls all around either way.
