So basically, trying to figure out whether someone is actually being altruistic is just the poisoned chalice bit from The Princess Bride, forever

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...)

When Brood X happened, I think one of my cats thought I was responsible for the cicadas. They kept bonking against our windows and she'd look at them, then look at me and meow. I tried explaining but I don't think she understood :(

Back when I was a kid, The Simpsons was a really good show

Half of them probably were jaded (ex-)New Yorkers

How is "bro" toxic...? I can see how someone who isn't a dude objecting to being called one, but that's not an issue with the word itself

The "sticker" is actually an off-cut from a laptop skin from my other laptop (which also runs Linux, and also has a sticker over its Windows key :P), so it's held up pretty well

I'm petty enough to put stickers over mine.

Fuck dude it sure is

Regardless of age, weight, or overall fitness, I have never been able to touch my toes when bending over from standing.

Maybe SpiralLinux? It's basically just Debian with a few twealks, but the btrfs+Snapper might come in handy if/when you need to do tech support.

Nope. Never had a water-related incident with any cellphone in the 20ish years I've been using them. Just not relevant to my life.

Demon's Tilt on the Switch. I'd been vaguely interested in it for a while and it was on sale for $10. I played a little and enjoyed it but I think it's gonna be one of those things I have to be in the mood for, and I'm just not today. I've spent $10 on dumber things, so no, I don't regret it.

That's OK. No piece of art or media is gonna be everyone's Thing.

Steven Universe. The online fandom was insane. The actual show was incredible.

The story is awful enough, but the headline is making me want to punch someone.

Dementia specifically I don't know about, but if you don't eat enough it will affect brain function, since your brain requires energy to, yknow...work. Found a review article about it from a few years ago if you're interested.

Like half of Fall Out Boy's discography. "Hum Hallelujah" gets a special mention for literally being about a suicide attempt. Also "Dance In the Dark" by Lady Gaga, "Stomach Vs Heart" and "Humor of the Situation" by Barenaked Ladies ("Angry People" as well), "Slip Slidin Away" by Paul Simon, "When I Come Around" by Green Day...suffice it to say, I enjoy this trope a lot :P

I'm not at my place right now. If you come to my friend's place where we're at, you can have a donut and maybe pet the cat.

My current and previous laptops were/are Dell and I can count on one hand the number of hardware issues I've had with Linux (minus the Nvidia GPU but yknow. Nvidia.)
