Lol glad to hear it!

Are you alive today lol

I’m not quite the same demographic as you, but I get it.

For me, it’s simply not possible to have kids unless I adopted. And that ain’t happening (adoption is a long, arduous, and expensive process and I’m only one person…wouldn’t want to take that alone). I suppose technically my body might physically be able to produce kids…I haven’t tried, but that’s missing the point.

People sometimes ask me if I want kids and it’s just such a silly question for someone like me. It’s like asking if I had a mega mansion, how would I decorate the 7th bathroom? What I want is irrelevant because that’s not at all in the realm of possibility.

I don’t know if I would want kids or not. But since it’s not possible, it’s not worth dwelling over.

Before my current job, any job I’ve had had an 8.5 hour shift with a half an hour unpaid lunch. But I managed to score a gig where I have an 8.0 hour shift with a half an hour paid lunch. It seems uncommon in the US, but I guess it must be common elsewhere.

Weirdly I know quite a few people who converted to being religious as adults. As children, they weren’t raised with any particular religion.

If these were colonoscopy pics, someone would be having a huge problem with their colon

Damn I remember seeing this printed out when I was literally a child. Interesting to see this text come back in 2024.

Stop making sense!!!

I’ve literally never had this happen in my life. I also can’t imagine how it would even be possible unless the person working at the shop is physically spraying the cups with cologne.

I do totally get paying to support something you use a ton.

But I don’t get comments like this calling blocking ads a cat and mouse game. It’s always been incredibly easy to block ads on the devices I own and I rarely ever have to mess with anything after installing a single browser extension or a single app.

On my desktop/laptop–ublock origin. I would install this regardless of whether or not I care about YouTube ads because ads on websites in general can be pretty cancerous. So I would already have it on my device to begin with. Install one extension and forget about it. Very occasionally ads start coming through, but then the extension auto updates itself and I don’t have to worry about it. It’s effortless and I absolutely never need to mess with the settings.

On my phone–YouTube ReVanced. Just basically download I think two APK files and you’re set. I’ve had to reinstall this a single time over the maybe decade(?) I’ve been using it as YouTube had some sort of breaking update or something. But having to install it again once every many years is hardly an inconvenience. Oh I guess I have had to install it again when I’ve gotten a new phone, but that’s really not that odd or inconvenient to me either…and generally I don’t get a new phone that often.

On my android TV device–SmartTube Next. It’s a single APK file. Set it and forget it. I’ve never had to reinstall the app.

One caveat with this is that it seems harder to watch YouTube ad free (without paying for premium) on Apple devices. So if you use a lot of Apple products it also makes sense.

I’m using Voyager. I can zoom in on the image

Stop scaring me. I don’t want to think about my death!!

I am a younger millennial. I use ellipses all the time tbh. But I never use them at the end of a sentence like that. I tend to use them in the middle of a sentence often to break it up if it seems to long and I don’t want the formality of a semicolon.

How do you pronounce Wafrn?

I’m not sure if this is ADA compliant. It might be the reason why we don’t see these very often. I had one of these at work though.

It’s not more convenient 95% of the time if you don’t live in a place where you can just plug it in all the time. Until people are able to figure out how to get widespread adoption of EV charging stations in apartments and condos, EV adoption by the general public is significantly limited.

Idk…reading the article it sounds fairly understandable. There are a lot of certain small animals in the area that dogs would like to chase. They run after the scent and get confused thinking that it’s not a far drop or that the ledge is wider than it is. So it leads to a number of unfortunate accidents.

I think of it like this…have you ever gone down a set of stairs with an odd pattern to the carpeting making it difficult to see where the edge of the step is? There are all kids of perspective tricks and such our eyes can have difficulty with.

Edit: Plus some dogs are just stupid and will jump off of high things not realizing they will be injured on the way down. I love my mom’s dog, but she is a moron and has jumped off of high places that could injure her. I have had to stop her from hurting herself on more than one occasion…and one time where I was afraid she was going to jump out of a second storey window from excitement. My brother’s dog also has jumped off of a second storey balcony before. The dog was fine and was monitored by the vet hospital afterwards but yeah…some just aren’t super bright either.

That last bit gives me a ton of anxiety just thinking about it. Do you map out where you can run before you go to a new place? How do you just like run on the sidewalk if it ends up congested with too many people? Do you only run in nearby parks?

Sorry if these are weird questions! I legitimately want to know!

OP went nuts in the comments of the original. I can’t remember the details, but they were saying things about how they were incredibly offended and wanted to DNA test their son for not being thankful for the gift. And some rambling tirades about the grandmother or something. It was very bizarre.

Jerboa went though a period time relatively early on in it’s development when it was a buggy, nearly unusable mess. It started out cool, then it shit the bed, and now I guess it’s cool again lol.

Unfortunately I didn’t wait for it to get good again at the time and I ended up switching to wefwef, which has now been renamed Voyager. Voyager never really went though a buggy period on my end as an Android user.
