It’s specifically the fact that it’s family that makes it hard for me to buy that it’s isolated (hence “in this case”). It’s possible for sure, but you don’t usually get “my dad picklocked my bedroom door to try and catch me jerking off” without a shitload of other family weirdness.

The odds of these two deeply weird incidents being isolated in a case like this is about 1%

I doubt I’m the first one to think of this, but for some reason as I was drifting off to sleep last night, I was thinking about the horrible AI “pop” music that a lot of content farms use in their videos and my brain spat out the phrase Bubblegum Slop. Feel free to use it as you ses fit (or don’t, I ain’t your dad).

Are you not counting “Revolution 9” as a “song”? Understandable.

I cannot post the picture for obvious reasons, but the CEO of [Company My Friend Works For] has a fancy pair of AI sunglasses he keeps wearing to Teams meetings. Friend got a screenshot of it and the guy looks like, as they say in France, “a total fucking douchebag.”

You’re probably right

Honest to God, I thought a “Librephone” was something that already existed. I think I was thinking of the PinePhone or smth.

My late cat (the one in my pic) REALLY wanted my grocery-store sushi one time, but I didn’t give her any, so she decided to lick a big ol’ glob of the wasabi.

She didn’t like it.

I believe that guideline is only for perishable food like cooked foods, meat, etc. For shelf-stable things like bread and most fruits/veggies, it’s basically “do they look OK?”

When I worked in food service, I was taught that it takes four hours at room temperature for bacteria to reach dangerous levels in food, so that’s what I go with. I assume there’s other factors at play, but four hours is easy to remember and apply and I don’t like to take chances with that stuff.

…well, I was gonna say porn but I actually like your idea better.

I block pretty freely, on all social media. Being both trans and religious means that people on any part of the political spectrum might think I’m subhuman, and I don’t see the point of engaging when that’s the case.

Them’s pants

Phone in right front, keys in left front, wallet in back right. If there’s only two pockets, keys and wallet go together in left pocket. If I have a bag I might toss my keys in it but I probably won’t. If I’m wearing a jacket or coat then the keys and phone will probably end up in the left and right pockets, respectively, but I will still reflexively try to find them in my pants pockets and then go “oh wait, right.”

There’s a promising treatment for Huntington’s disease in the works, and we might have vaccines for allergies and/or asthma at some point!

Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?

Gaia Online still exists??

I use SpiralLinux (basically Debian with some tweaks). I like it a lot! If you want to stay in the Debian/*buntu lineage, consider it.

It might be another food allergy as well. I have skin reactions to dairy, and it took me years to figure it out because a) it’s a slow reaction (6ish hours after I eat it), and b) I also assumed it was something my skin was coming into contact with

And in keeping with the OP, I also still eat dairy from time to time. Not a severe reaction, it won’t become a severe reaction, and there’s still no good replacement for actual cheese, dammit. (Daiya is close enough…sometimes…)
