  • What game changing item*s can you buy for $100 or less?

  • Shoutouts to @sbv@sh.itjust.works BUY BIDET NOW. Obligatory comment about wiping shit off your hands with dry paper goes here. Wash your ass. I have two bidets BTW and I use Arch Linux BTW.

    Wall mounted soda can crusher. Recycling space saver.

    Powered water fountain for cats. They instinctually prefer running water.

    I bought the Swiss Army Knife of memory foam pillows that has sections on both ends for side sleeping, a dent in the middle with a neck support sticking out the bottom for support while stomach sleeping, and it works for sleeping on my back too. I don't really have a discernable favorite position, so I love the multifunction pillows.

  • Boxer or briefs?

    Jump

  • I have huge thigh muscles because I used to be fat and I just maintain them now. I like some fabric between my legs when out and about. Otherwise briefs would be fine. Still wouldn't choose them over boxer briefs because I find the style more aesthetically pleasing too.

    I did wear boxers in my teens and they're fine. It's a pretty weak favorable preference towards boxer briefs tbh but I only buy one kind for whatever reason lol.

  • despite never feeling safe or in control behind the wheel

    I have anxiety and learning to drive was a temporary hell for me too. I don't really have a choice unless I want to work at McDonalds until I die of old age. The career opportunities aren't accessible without a car. That's big empty Alberta with shite underfunded public transportation for you though.

    If do you eventually have to drive, better not wait or the fear after that crash will cripple you the longer the gap is.

    So the question is really whether or not you can get by without learning the skill. You do eventually gain confidence via practice. However yeah, there's always inherent danger from you and any human sharing the road with you. Everyone will make mistakes. Some end very badly. Ultimately it's your choice. You should know by now if you can potentially survive independently without a vehicle or not where you live.

    This you can ignore if you don't respond to everything new or scary in your life like you are with driving:

    I had a friend who spoke like this all the time and she ended up being the living embodiment of Learned Helplessness. I could elaborate, but it's a dreadful story and ends in a very early totally preventable death. I worry your loved ones are enabling you here by dealing with the hard stuff. The people you crashed into by your BF, and your dad for the aftermath.

  • That'll be become more and more clear the next few years. I'm wondering is progressive voters who went Carney will have buyer's remorse in the future for having murdered the NDP to keep P.P. out.

    What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon(s) as a kid?

    Jump

  • Rare for me was Nickelodeon, or any premium cartoon channel really. I only saw their cartoons during free trials growing up. No Spongebob for me. I had Y-TV and PBS mainly. Some cartoons mirrored from Fox Kids. Stuff like that. I also had a nearby library. We did have Comedy Central.

    Futurama was my favorite for sure.

    Younger me loved Rupert, especially the mirror dimension episode.

  • Amazon Doubles Prime Video Ads Per Hour

    Jump

  • I just use Stremio on everything now with the usual plugins and a debrid service sub. I could do it old school on mobile, but navigating Android is baseline a tedious slog even while knowing what I'm doing.

  • I hand draw lines in CAD for design. What crazily outdated stuff do you do for work that seems hilarious ?

    Jump

  • Most paperwork at my job is still hand written on paper. Logbooks, hourly reading sheets, energy isolation, water tank additive logsheets, medical grade forms, blah blah blah all paper. Binders everywhere. Dusty filing cabinets everywhere.

    But we're in the middle of moving to digital only finally, so for now I have to do the same work twice every shift for the half finished digital infra.

    It's a manufacturing plant that's survived since 1940's and those who'd be resistant to change are mostly all retired or dead now.

  • I have gobs of free time. Too much, really...but I'm also 35 and my main hobby was still video games two years ago. There's a lot of "been there, done that" fatigue setting in when you've played thousands of games for decades. Even going back to retro, I've played most cream of the crop including fan translations by now. Once and awhile a genuinely old good foreign game still gets translated and I'm all over it.

    Now I play less on average, but if a game comes out now that grabs my attention I'll still dump 60-100 hours in two weeks into it for RPG or play shorter games in 8 hour chunks no problem still. It's just a matter of capturing that attention.

    I got other new competing hobbies now where I don't know everything yet and that's more fun. I my have drifted away from games slower than most, but I still did eventually. It's natural and I don't force myself to play. I'm okay with change.

    I do mourn the loss of my core 4 player co-op group still :s

  • With what I've learned about humanity and reality over the years, I've only become more sure the right move is to never bring another life into this mortal hellscape only to be obliterated at the end. I have the desire, but I deny my own selfishness.

  • Google has made it much harder for GrapheneOS & CalyxOS to update to Android 16

    Jump

  • Okay, let's say GrapheneOS is dead. That was a nice 10 years, so I've not kept up to this scene.

    What's the next best thing left standing? LineageOS?
