  • The thing in most upset at is the lack of grilling those tortillas

  • a cool guide for tattoo pain from least to most
  • TIL I am a woman, apparently?

  • Bouba/kiki effect
  • Lemmy is pretty rounded for me, but it depends on if I place my tongue against the back of my teeth when pronouncing the L or not. If the tongue sticks past the teeth and touches the cutting edge of the teeth when I pronounce the L then the first part of the shape is sharp, of the back of the teeth then the whole shape is round. Regardless, the right half of the shape is rounded. Sort of the opposite of the shape of the word spike (not a spike shape, oddly enough). Spike is round on the left, sharp on the right. Sp is round, K is sharp.

    Brains are weird.

  • True friendship
  • I should've known that. I love raising hope. Can't believe I don't remember this scene. Lol

  • hmm interesting, tell me more
  • I mean, far be it from me to celebrate a mega corporation, but there might be something to the new direction Amazon is headed here...

  • True friendship
  • What movie is this? Love them both so much

  • The older I get, the less I pretend to care
  • Yeah... I see where you're coming from, but... Just no. I'm a caregiver for my mother, and it's very similar to what others are talking about. Being responsible for someone you love can be a wonderful thing. If you don't want kids, don't have them, if you're not close to your parents, don't agree to be their caregiver. But that sort of familial love, knowing that you are doing what you can to make life as good as possible for another human is an amazing feeling, even when it's frustrating. Even if there are massive hormonal changes in parents when they have kids, which there are, it doesn't negate anything about the love they feel for their children. Babies are not manipulating you. Hormones help us form those bonds, but the bonds are real nonetheless.

  • GNU-Linux
  • I mostly understand all that so far. My main question is why people get upset at folks who refer to it as gnu/Linux? I've seen a couple arguments about it on reddit, but I'm not sure how common it is for people to be actually upset, or if it's more meme arguing. And I also I have no idea if I should say I use Linux or gnu/Linux since I use Fedora. Lol.

  • It's going. I'm alive.
  • Don't forget "too blessed to be depressed"= I think God will be angry with me if I admit life (read: murica) isn't perfect

  • GNU-Linux
  • Can someone explain to me why people get upset about it being referred to as gnu+Linux or gnu/Linux? I'm not the most techy person, so maybe I'm missing something obvious, but like, objectively, isn't it just as much gnu code as Linux?

    Again, not super techy, so please explain it to me like I'm the average Facebook aunt.

  • Tooth erections
  • I love Nigel and marmalade so much. I didn't think I'd like it at first, but it's my favorite shorts series

  • It's true though
  • My brother was born in 81, I was born in 91. It's weird how we're both considered 90s kids. Like, why that decade in particular seems so formative for so many. The 00s were my teenage years, and they did inform me as a person a lot, but when I think back on, like, the quintessential elements of my childhood, it's the late 90s, pre 911. Same for my brother.

  • "im so tired"
  • I haven't worked night shift in 8 years, and I'm still tired all day and wake right the fuck at 11. Be careful, the allure of the night is a lasting one.

  • "im so tired"
  • Night shift security was great for that conundrum

  • Compliments
  • I generally don't give a fuck. Lol. I wear what's comfortable, and I don't go for any particular aesthetic. But also, I have received plenty of compliments about things like my clothes or shoes, I meant in my comment about my actual physical body. Outside of immediate family (oh You've lost weight, et cetera) or sexual partners who enjoy a particular thing, I believe that is the only compliment I've ever gotten about a particular physical feature of my body.

  • Compliments
  • A friend's mom once told me I had beautiful eyes, and I have thought about it ever since. That was 20 years ago. I think it's the only complimentary I've ever had on my physical appearance outside of immediate family. Compliments can feel super awkward to get sometimes, but they really are treasures.

  • Save Lower Decks
  • In public without my earbuds. Can anyone TLDW it for me? Is lower decks getting canned?

  • A cool guide on Mattress Dimensions and Bed Sizes
  • Ahh, okay. Yeah, I've slept on twins and twin xls most of my life and I'm familiar with the sheet stretch, I just didn't realize colleges didn't differentiate when they told kids what they had.

  • can't use eternity on new phone

    Hey, folks, I just got a new phone, and reinstalled Eternity on it. But no matter which account I try to log in with, I'm getting an error ("cannot fetch user info") when I try to log in.

    Any help is much appreciated. I'm not sure if eternity is on the play store, but I got it through f droid if that matters.
