Wait,blackmailed for dick pics as in “send me dick pics or else”, or blackmailed for sending dick pics, “yo, you just send nudes to a minor, give me cash or I’ll tell the cops”.

Yep, I have one for keeping friends and family updated on my travels without relying on FB/Insta/whatever. If interested, they can subscribe to my RSS feed. If not, I do it for myself and Sarvesh, a random (alleged) Indian man who thinks I am very beautiful and wants to marry me.

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

It’s a summation of low grade damage over years and years from activities like football, rugby, hockey. Physical evidence requires an autopsy or maybe tracking changes in the brain over years (which no NFL player watching out for his paycheck is going to want to do).

That’s not to say there won’t be a way to detect it in still-live people in the future. CTE is still “new” in the context of medicine, which moves at glacial paces.

If a gathering seems like maybe a host gift situation but maybe not, skip presents for the human hosts and get something for their pets. Picking out wine for a gift would give me hives, everyone will be much happier with treats for the dogs.

I’ve seen three at my state’s Capital building. All three got about 5 seconds of local media coverage and zero national media coverage.

Simply a realistic statue showing how fucking weird he looks and stands.

His body looks like the front half of a centaur.

You assume they care about truth as an ideal to uphold.

Their optimization model is set to maximize power and wealth for their people. Truth is a tool to use or discard as needed in reach of their goal. It makes perfect sense, just not within the logic and morals framework you or I would use.

I knew it as arm wrestling growing up. And what most call arm wrestling (hands clasped, elbows on table), was hand or wrist wrestling.

I guess for a person who screenshots places they want to go.

90% of my screenshot roll are of horror movies I want to watch. Google will be planning vacations to abandoned houses and Antarctic research stations. Yaaay.

I can’t smell bad milk either. Also can’t taste it.

I learned just how bad it was when I polished off a bowl of cereal, made a bowl up for my Person with the same milk I’d just consumed, and they spit it out thinking I was playing an awful “prank” on them. I had to convince and demonstrate that no, I can’t detect spoiled milk until it’s visibly bad.

I’m in the same boat; I can’t smell spoiled milk. Partially that, partially I don’t really like dairy milk that much, I drink plant-based milks now. When I open a new container I mark the date on it with a sharpie. Then I throw out any remainder after 14 days (or whatever the bottle says plus some).

Sweet. Thanks for your efforts, RM. Your For Reddit app was my favorite by miles and I appreciate you continuing to offer it on the Lemmy side.

Folks, this is an app worthy of the few bucks to unlock features and support the developer.

Try mornings. Just for a couple days to see if it works for you. Pick at why it “doesn’t sit right with you”.

I personally go through seasons when I’m more productive doing certain things in the mornings, and sometimes my life and work shift a bit and I find I can do those same things more productively in the evenings. That’s practically a hobby in itself, trying to optimize my schedule and habits.

I use Voyager. Lockout specs for me when selecting an app were ability to apply a custom tag to users, and firmly holding my default view/sort settings.

I started on Boost for Lemmy after using Boost for Reddit. But I was having some issues with it and it’s not actively updated anymore. Not sure if the creator is done with the project or just busy with something else, but I just checked and it still shows the last app update was in July 2024.

I don’t scambait in general. One, I have so many options for entertainment that give me more joy than responding to scammers. Two, I assume much like robo phone calls, the initial communication itself isn’t the scam, it’s to see who responds so their contact info can be put on a list for further targeting.

I didn’t learn to read/write it, just simple spoken conversation. I would not claim any level of fluency.

No screen wrap, just in need of a quick display settings adjustment.

I saw One of Them Days starting Keke Palmer the other day. Solid comedy, maybe a little formulaic but comfy.

Full agree. My personal desktop is clean. My company-issued is littered with shortcuts I can’t get rid of because they don’t give general users that permission. I hate it so much.

As my mom was becoming an adult, women in my country still couldn’t have their own bank accounts nor could they vote. So how much choice did she have? She could stay under her abusive father’s control, or roll the dice on marrying a guy who had minimal red flags. They’re fine, they had kids and are still married decades later. But I can’t really say she was able to freely choose.

I am mixed on how they did as parents. I have no doubt they mostly did what they thought was the right thing. I just strongly disagree with them on some things they believed to be right. Like I wasn’t given certain vaccines as a kid, not because my parents thought they would cause autism, but because my parents thought Hep C would only be caught by drug users and sexually promiscuous people. And their kids would never.
