Understandable! The only reason i have it on is for medical calls

I’ve been saying this for so long. Don’t get me wrong, some films do make sense to have sex scenes. But there are so many that either have hardcore (for TV) sex scenes or just random full nudity that makes it nearly impossible to watch with anyone other than my partner or close friends.

Like if I recommend a film or show to someone and completely forget that it had sex or even just nudity in it, it usually wasn’t important to the story. On the other hand, it may have made sense to include in the film but it was so terribly done that I promptly blocked it out.

The other issue is that it has become increasingly difficult to find any shows that either don’t include sex scenes, or don’t have ridiculous levels of violence, or whatever else is difficult for me to deal with when I just want something easy to watch that’s not a kid’s movie (although kid’s movies have their own set of issues).

Streaming services don’t even make it easy to find something to watch - they show you the same stuff over and over, or they pretend that everything is in English when they include so many other languages in the selections. If I am unable to pay attention to the captions then I would prefer to have something in English without trying a bunch of different shows first. I mean I guess this is partly (mainly?) my fault since I’ve failed to learn another language despite years of studying. But I think it just irritates me that they lie about it more than anything.

Idk I am off topic now and this has turned into a really long comment that probably doesn’t say anything that hasn’t already been said in this thread.

It will always blow my mind that the <$950 people on SSI get every month is somehow supposed to sustain them. I’m lucky that I get SSDI but even though I’m making 1.5x the SSI benefit, I’m still drowning in expenses. And I can’t do any work or I risk losing my income. I wish they’d just let me work a couple hours a month with zero risk to being kicked off disability. It would save so much money in their other benefit pots that I do qualify for.

But yay, so glad they’re using realistic math to determine an appropriate cost of living adjustment. That 2.5% will go a long way - I could afford the gas to drive to the doctor 2 extra times! Or I could buy 4 bananas! The possibilities are endless.

It’s been fun. I’ve had it for a few months and I love it. Currently trying to figure out why my PDFs get corrupted and how to fix it - I’m pretty sure it has to do with signatures but not completely sure. The other thing is that I was having trouble figuring out how to hibernate my computer, so it was sleeping all the time (except when off or in use), but then one day it just started hibernating. Not sure how that happened.

I chose Fedora with the KDE desktop and it’s great. I’m not entirely sure I understand the differences in the desktop choices but it works for me for now.

I’m trying to get my partner to switch but they’re worried about it not being compatible with/not being able to find suitable replacements for certain Windows software used for work. So basically I just need to get better with Linux before they switch lol

I would love to know also. They are all spoken here for sure (quite a large population of people who speak the languages I listed) but what confuses me is the area codes are usually not my region for these calls.

This is helpful. Thank you

Excellent. Thank you. How do you pronounce () {?

I appreciate it, but I can’t do either unfortunately since I have medical issues and need to answer many unknown numbers.

The quesadillas. Again. And again.

I can’t stop eating them. I prefer their quesadillas over authentic ones tbh. It’s the sauce! And the baja blast!

Well if you don’t test for it then you won’t have it. So there’s no need to cover any treatment because it will no longer exist whenever Trump is king president

I was on Artemis and then Jerboa and now Thunder (probably a few others in between).

Artemis was going to be great but is no more, sadly.

Jerboa I just couldn’t like. I think my biggest issue when I was using it was you could only search for community names? I can’t remember exactly I just remember the difficulty searching was the last straw for me.

Thunder is great. I don’t think I have any complaints. It works as I need it to and probably has a bunch of features that I don’t use. It’s pretty new still so I’m trying not to get too attached lol but it’s updated pretty regularly, commenting works well, it allows you to preview before posting. Search seems to work great. I guess the only issue is the delay in notifications? Not really an issue for me but I guess if you’re having a more immediate conversation in the comments it might be.

Read this comment before the article and thought it surely wouldn’t be as obvious as you’re stating.

Spoiler: with Chicago, it’s usually more obvious.

One day I will finally untangle my sense of obligation to give bigots the benefit of the doubt. Can’t wait but it’s a lot of work and self reflection.

Please no

That’s horrible :( I hope we are too

If they even would have charged him. They took my abuser to dinner instead.

The article I read said they didn’t use that until after the first launch. I did not look into it further.

Elon’s daily dose. It takes a lot to get on his level.

Just kidding, but it seems like something to do with the fuel/exhaust.

I’ve read multiple articles and the most I’ve gotten is that their first launch didn’t have the cleaner fuel that future launches did. I am not sure how that would cause repeated incidents… perhaps it’s from metal parts in the rockets? 🤔 I could have missed something as I was reading but hopefully someone else will know the answer.

Thanks! This is helpful.

Yeah, he gained a lot (little) of respect from me that day. The bar was low, but still.

I still don’t think I quite understand how this scheme was supposed to work. Can someone ELI5?

I don’t know that I’ve gotten them anything that I would describe as extravagent. Expensive? Definitely.

I spend about 30% of my income on their monthly supplies (mainly food and medications). Probably not the smartest decision financially but I have zero regrets. I love my babies and would spend the whole world’s wealth on them. Which is probably why I am not wealthy 🫣🤑🥸
