Nothing promotes healing quite like having to trek out, expose yourself to more germs and stress over a f@&!ing piece of paper. /s

Glad your boss is chill at least. Hope you feel better!

This is delightfully autistic coded and I love it

Wasn’t my cup of tea personally but off top of my head the US sitcom The Middle is pretty solidly working-class focused, or at least from what I remember. Also thank you for putting this to words, I feel the same way.

This is exactly why I hated live-action Disney Channel and Nickelodeon shows/movies growing up in the 2000s starting with Hannah Montana.

I was never able to articulate why I was repulsed by those series and was considered a contrarian little weirdo, lol. /rant

“sElF cArE” by pissing away your finite resources to corporations at the first sign of distress is its own level of fucked up, for sure.

That said, I think the OP is suggesting the opposite lol

Same. I like outdoor heat quite a bit as well so summer is the time of year where there’s no physical pain and lots of opportunity for leisurely exercise.

It’s those times where I shorten my response to something like “thanks I’ll keep that in mind” or “I appreciate you trying to help” and then brush it off/not follow that advice, because it usually comes from people who at least sort of care but have no idea what to say or how to fix the situation.

If someone genuinely wants to invest in helping your situation they’ll ask and be open. For me most of the time my answer is “you being there is enough” and when I tell them I don’t expect them to have answers to my problems they relax too.

If it’s randos trying to be argumentative or dismissive then they can go sit naked on a cactus. /tangent

TL;DR: You’re right, but it’s an onslaught and you deserve peace of mind. You aren’t obligated to defend yourself to them.

If the current Israeli government(+) wanted people to believe what they say instead of getting their jollies via military occupation and genocide they’d have ramped up humanitarian aid to Palestinians and taken every measure possible to protect them instead of, well, gestures broadly.

(+)Obviously the founding of Israel as a nation state and the history since has been horrific, point being made is largely rhetorical.

Any day with a Ruby post is a good day 🖤 hello screaming shadow baby!

Already here, esteemed Internet stranger :)

Little dude looks like I should be able to lightly press his back and he lights up like a novelty nightlight

Dunno what type of tablet you’ve got but Apple News is pretty solidly loaded with medical fear mongering that’s sanewashed via being from interviews with “experts.”

Buzzfeed, Newsweek, HuffPost, etc. are your main name-brand culprits. Other magazines/websites also push this garbage but it’s a little more obvious.

Other key words across social media would probably be “nutritionist,” “coach,” “guru,” and other catchy terms that basically mean unlicensed. I’ve never used TikTok but when I was on Instagram years ago those were the biggest offenders.

EndeavourOS represent! I’ve also found this OS to be pretty solidly friendly to AMD cards the past couple years, maybe even more so than Windows.

So glad to hear you’re having a good experience with it - may you continue to game smoothly 🫡 /gen /pos

“Registered” and “active” are two different things.

I’d also be interested to see approval rating amongst the people who actually voted for him (or claim to have).

Yeah this isn’t great. While we can’t say for sure, “woman in a safer position” may well describe this situation as it’s an unfortunate pattern.

Original Broadway casting is a black man so that makes sense.

When I saw it live they cast an Asian man as Washington and he was also quite good for the role so I’d wager it depends on the production.

Post-latest-US-election, when the feeds got somehow even worse and more doom-scrolly than before even on my curated lists. This was still before people were getting banned for upvoting comments.

Someone posted open source alternatives and while I was never big into Mastodon or other social substitutes I found Lemmy as a parallel to Reddit and eventually made the jump. Haven’t looked back since and am far mentally better off for it 😄 /genuine

Solid advice.

I was dressed accordingly, always had like 3+ layers not counting negative temperature rated down coat, boots, scarf, gloves etc it just still sucked that it was cold and icy lol.

There’s very little in the article to indicate imminent demise. A few valid complaints, yes.

Games should be supported across all platforms but the article did not mention a viable alternative for Mac based gaming.

Extraneous launchers are an issue, but I’m not sure what Steam could do for that when they’re the storefront, not the developer.

The article also expresses a concern for continued dominance as a platform so it goes against the title as well.

Swearing is how I got from my house to the car in northern winters.
