I’m really happy to see positive comments about people wanting kids even though I’ve chosen the child free route. It makes me happy to know that there are folks out there who want kids for the love of it even if it is hard. People should be able to make the decision themselves and do what’s right for them. I do believe it’s a worthwhile and rewarding endeavor but not one that should be half-assed.

That’s insane to think about. I usually buy a 20 lb bag of Thai Jasmine rice for a little over $20 her in the US. I think I would seriously break down and cry if I had to pay almost $70.

Yea the science is making the dosage ranges and the art is the caregivers administering the medicine and monitoring the patient. I like the science part but the art part is too stressful for me.

For the newly bred and nearly dead dosing is heavily dependent on rate of metabolism. This is why kidney and liver function are so important to dosage. If a person can’t metabolize and clear out metabolites at a steady rate then it increases the bioavailability of a drug in the person’s system and can lead to overdoses. I used to tell my lab students that there’s no guaranteed way to tell how young kids are going to react to a medication just because their little systems are doing so much at wildly different rates.

I don’t think you have misophonia. Misophonia is where you have an irrational stress/anger response to certain types of sounds. These sounds set off your fight or flight response. My personal triggers are eating noises and dogs drinking water. I don’t make that my partner’s problem though. I think your partner is being inconsiderate and the constant loud noises are overstimulating for you. You obviously need quiet time to recharge/concentrate and your partner is trying to drown the world out. The whole situation sounds unhealthy and unless you both are willing to work on the underlying issues together it will only get worse.

I agree. A small part of me was sad to hear of the loss of the architecture but I’m also happy for the people who see this as a celebration. There are things in this world that should not last forever.

Can confirm myself, my mother, and my maternal grandmother all have the same middle name. Call it a southern thing I suppose. I killed the tradition by being childess and my younger sister refused to pass it to my niece.

This whole thread is glorious. (Also did your autocorrect put up a fight or did it completely give up trying. I’d love it if this is how we fight AI in the future.)

I’m American and I am in complete awe of Zelenakyy. Humanity gets so few people of his quality in a lifetime. He is truly inspirational.

Heck yeah I’ll give you a follow over on Bluesky. I’m following a handful of people that are bridged Mastodon users. Yours will be the first Mbin one though. I really hope all the kinks get worked out over time though because I really love the idea of interconnectivity.

I noticed that too when I watched the video. He’s too obsessed with gold and has always been garish with it. I’m sure it’s why he paints himself orange too. It’s weird.

I don’t subscribe to dull men’s club but I’ve been enjoying the posts showing in my All feed.

Not at all. I never wanted to see AI and it kept turning itself back on this was just the final push for me to uninstall it.

I have been using Brave for the last year and I did like it as a mobile browser. But today I noticed that when I was searching about abortion and etopic pregnancy (fact checking a really dumb article) that all of a sudden their AI crap was throwing “no results available” errors. I checked some other left leaning topics and sure enough it no longer gives you AI results. So I immediately uninstalled that shit from my phone because fuck them.

Omg there is a name for that. I definitely fear eternity more than I fear death. My only consoling thought is the idea that time is a construct of physical reality so we “have time” to experience living and that really the entirety of time is happening all at once. I have no idea why this idea brings me comfort though.

I’m one of those people that’s switched skill sets and jobs multiple times. It’s great for me because I love learning new things and using the new things I’m learning as it applies to the current job I’m doing. But there is a disadvantage to this in that recruiters don’t know what the hell to do with you and bosses are always suspicious that you will jump ship at the drop of a hat. The ones who do take a chance and hire me have always been happy with my work though.

Can confirm, I can see the post on Bluesky side but can’t see any comments other than Bluesky people for now.

Ugh this just triggered memories of that scene from What Remains of Edith Finch (IYKYK).

I didn’t pick up any of the deep discount items but I did pick up a few items on my wishlist. I picked up Mouthwashing, WitchSpring R, Little Kitty Big City, the Nonory game collection and Okami HD. I already have the last two but I wanted them in the Steam library so I can play them on my deck.

Fuck yea this is the best news ever and that trailer looks amazing 😍
