He’s all good! Just had a hot spot on his neck and needs to cool it on the itching. Had a bath with his medicated shampoo and needs to be careful for a few days and he’ll be good.

Yeah may not be for everyone but these things are dope.

Also an introvert; switching to working remotely vastly improved my social life (and productivity at work). When I was going to the office, I was burning all my social energy during the day and defaulted to hermit mode on nights and weekends to recharge.

Now I’m sitting on my social charger all day while I’m working and actually have the energy to hang out with my friends outside of work hours.

Maybe whatever app you’re using isn’t really deleting comments? It’s still showing up fine for me and gaining votes.

I switched to iOS a few years back because I tried it for a week when my Pixel died, maintained a pros/cons list, and decided iOS works better for me.

The most eye-opening part switching “sides” is how cringe these types of Android users are. Just use what works for you and enjoy life.

It’s a reference to the unnecessary apostrophe. The quote was something like “an apostrophe is used to create possessive nouns, it doesn’t mean ‘here comes an s!’”

I’ve tried to get my friends consolidated in one app in the past, but have given up. I prefer Discord, but use a combo of that and Slack, Signal, GroupMe, IG, FB Messenger, SMS, email, and probably some others I’m forgetting about. Discord is the only one I directly open, the others I’ll just rely on notifications.

TIL! Amazing.

Trick question. Lemmy is God.

Man, I miss Necrophagist.

Damn, I never considered that combination before. Being extroverted with social anxiety would be awful.

God, the giant mosquitoes were the worst.

Used Chrome forever, switched to Firefox back when this stuff first started going down. No ragerts.

His girlfriend’s what?

I just read a super interesting book about this–Monsters by Claire Dederer. It won’t really give you answers, but a thought-provoking discussion on this subject I also struggle with.

Huh, I never would have thought of NA liquor. Is it as close as NA beer has gotten these days?

What kind of name for a gun nut is Wayne LaPierre?

This reminded me I should block them the next time I see one of their posts. I scrolled down one screen on my phone.

Well now I want to watch it again.

Dude was a 6 iron away.

Funny, I intentionally join my meetings a minute or two late to avoid the small talk.

Now I want a Master Sword letter opener.

locked in a 5 hour call for something I have no input on or care about

You are living my nightmare.

Good to know I’ll be able to get the diabetes medication I need sometime between 2027 and 2029.

Bone apple tea

Yeah I could probably get by without my physical credit/debit cards, but gotta at least have a thin wallet with a little cash for small businesses/food trucks that prefer it, my ID, and transit card.

It’s Elijah Wood, but the two look crazy similar and get mistaken for each other a lot. https://youtu.be/LNyCYngXjss

This is the primary reason I switched to iPhone. At least Apple’s business model is rooted in selling me overpriced gadgets rather than selling me.

We can tell ourselves there’s a chance he goes to prison until July 11th when he’ll get a fine.

It’s kind of confusing at first, but the first two books in the 3-book Silo series were originally released as short stories that were eventually combined into “omnibus” editions. So if you want to read the trilogy (which you should, they’re great) you want to read Wool omnibus, Shift omnibus, and Dust. If each book you’re looking at is ~500 pages, you’ve got the right one.

This is what finally moved me over to Firefox and I’ve been very happy with it.

Anecdotally, the Seattle Public Library is currently recovering from a ransomware attack and still has major systems offline. Of all targets, a public library is a pretty major low.

Because it’s progress. Shockingly, the five states that have banned it are red.

Possible the source website just changed the title after the article was shared and Lemmy pulled the metadata.

I legitimately can’t tell from the headlines whether North Korea stories are satire at this point.

As someone with an incredibly dumb cat, that first pic makes me so nervous.

This is more than I drink on a daily basis but I don’t think it’s too crazy. I usually drink 2-3 cups of drip coffee on weekdays and 4 espresso shots on weekend days.

Is the only argument against lab-grown meat that it disrupts an existing industry? Because I’ve yet to hear a legitimate reason why this is a bad idea.

For real. This is the primary feature of vacation.
