In the UK, too. The whole process seems designed to be as intrusive, dehumanising, and shaming as possible.

a) Don’t sell yourself short bro, many of the best people are weirdos

b) You are going to feel SO stupid if you meet a horny coin fanatic tomorrow and have to turn them down

Ugh yes. And whenever someone asks, I immediately feel guilty and ashamed. And probably look guilty and ashamed, which probably makes it seem like I’ve been doing something I should feel guilty and ashamed about. But the real answer is somewhere between “I don’t know” and “I went on the internet”. 😬

I guess that must come from decades of amazing interactions with my mother yaaaaay

You’re so welcome! Good luck getting whatever it is figured out!

Assuming it’s the same feeling, it’s such a weird one to try and describe. I think that rings true though: it’s like a caffeine buzz, only it makes you feel sluggish instead of energised. 😅

YMMV, but if it is diabetes, the good news is it probably won’t take too many changes to start feeling better. I just went as low carb as I could bear (probably more Atkins than keto, so nothing too drastic) and cut out caffeine (it can cause blood sugar spikes). For now, that’s enough to manage it without any meds or finger-pricks, and I feel so much better! You don’t even feel that deprived when you’re having rich, creamy sauces on everything, and I’ve lost 32 lbs in less than 3 months, even while snacking the normal amount. 😂 I don’t even really exercise!

This probably sounds stupid, but I just kinda… started feeling diabetic? 😅 Like, how I was feeling matched my extremely vague idea of “what diabetes might feel like”, so I asked for blood tests, and yep.

I don’t think peeing a lot was really part of mine. I just found eating usually made me feel worse instead of better, and I was starting to get occasional tingling in my hands and feet.

This may or may not be a joke, but yes, this is very often talked about among ADHDers!

I’m AuDHD and thankfully this is one area where my ordered, autistic side wins out – i.e. I have meticulously organised bookmarks and “Raindrop” tags for everything instead. 😄 I couldn’t stand having tons of tabs open.

Oh. In which case it still works fine for me, what can I say. 😅

Archive.ph is good, especially because I’ve never met a paywall it couldn’t bypass. 😏

What’s a better way to say “possibly possible”?

That is, it may be possible for humans to colonize Mars or create sentient AIs, or for you to lift 400 pounds, but we don’t know yet.

You answered your own question. 😁

Not that it isn’t scummy, but the screenshots in the article show that the Facebook app can be uninstalled, and the “Meta Services” app can be disabled. So it’s not the end of the world.

My aren’t 😔

It’s from African-American English, from the 1930s! And it’s always had more or less the same meaning – originally “being awake to (aware of) racial discrimination”, but now it’s obviously grown to cover discrimination and inequalities in general.

Would that imply that things that are not “woke” or are “anti-woke” are “asleep”?

Yep! 👍 But don’t forget, these people are also against Antifa, i.e. “anti anti-fascist”. They don’t care how bad the labels sound, as long as they’re making people’s lives miserable.

Franziska von Karma. I was going to say Miles Edgeworth, but… let’s face it, there are plenty of foolish fools in need of a whipping right now. 😌

(I know she’s really a “game character”, but she was in the anime, so she still counts. 🧑‍⚖️)

That’s a good point. Although Abigail Thorn (Philosophy Tube) kinda turned it on its head, apologies in advance for probably fucking up my explanation. 😅

If (e.g.) a cis woman has dark arm hair, peach fuzz, a “strong jaw”, etc, and is really bothered by it because it makes her feel less feminine or “man ish”… isn’t she basically experiencing gender dysphoria? And if she gets laser hair removal or whatever, isn’t that actually a type of “gender-affirming care”?

It made me wonder if that’s somehow the key to making people feel more empathetic, idk.

A good retail one: don’t say “sorry for your wait.” Say “thank you for waiting” or “thank you for being so patient”.

Something to do with… it makes people feel good about themselves if they think they’ve done something for you, which in turn makes them more likely to keep being patient.

Does it turn on? If it can record videos, it’s a 3GS.

Maybe it’s ads. Maybe it’s subscription fees.

It’s subscription fees. They’ve already announced it. It’s literally on their blog, and they’ve talked about it in their Twitch (they didn’t do a VoD so here’s a link to a YouTube video) and Reddit Q&As.

“In addition, we will begin developing a subscription model for features like higher quality video uploads or profile customizations like colors and avatar frames. Bluesky will always be free to use — we believe that information and conversation should be easily accessible, not locked down. We won’t uprank accounts simply because they’re subscribing to a paid tier.”

Maybe they just end up selling all your data off to their 1,000+ data broker partners.

I don’t really see how they could, seeing as pretty much everything (including Likes) is already public.

The thing that annoys me in subs of foreign-language things, is where a very simple or recognisable sentence gets turned into something else. Not in a “localisation” way, where extra context is needed. Just in a weird way.

Audio: Ja.
Subtitle: OK, I’ll see you there!

This seems a lot more common in “official” subs of anime, nordic noir, etc. Fan-subs seem a lot more accurate.
