If you are on ios, Memmy can.

Life goes on, regardless of what the politicians say or do.

He’s a good bit older than that and has cancer, and is not able to sit at a computer long enough to learn a new operating system even if he wanted to. Which he really, really doesn’t lol. He hates the thing with the fire of a thousand burning suns and only used it for his necessaries.

I’m also not familiar with any other operating system besides windows, outside of a brief foray into pi-hole years ago that I don’t remember much about, so I’d have to learn it first. While I’d love to start playing around with Linux some day, unfortunately that day isn’t going to be any time soon.

Lucky you. I got told by our IT that I’m going to be their windows 11 sacrificial lamb and will be getting it before everyone else to bang out the quirks. It doesn’t pay to be known as the office nerd :(

My elderly father’s win 10 computer has been absolutely shoving the upgrade down his throat, and I’m about ready to give in and just do it. Telling it to stop notifying him does no good, it just comes right back the next day. Then he won’t touch the computer because the full screen upgrade ad freaks him out and he’s afraid something is wrong. Screw Microsoft.

Would not recommend. That’s how you end up with lopsided shoulders and a bad back.

“No one asked for this” should be Microsoft’s tag line. Rather than fix problems that have been around for years - decades in some cases - they just keep adding crap that no one wants or asked for.

I’ve seen a curlygirl sub, but it was pretty much dead, sadly.

YES. It’s so frustrating now. And Gboard suddenly keeps trying to turn every word I type that starts with a “p” into “poo apper”. Wtf.

Swipe was bought by Microsoft years ago, and who knows why they do what they do. The only update I’ve seen in recent memory for it was them adding Bing to the top row.

Aww, thanks. It’s ok, though. I’m getting a lot better at figuring out how not to kill my plants now and just get sad for a little while when one dies. Mostly. Lol

But it’s also hard for someone with depression, because you will kill things while you learn, and that can make you feel even more worthless and useless.

THAT SAID. If you try it and actually discover you have an interest in it, it’s a lot easier to get past the, “Fuck, I killed another one!” and slide into, “How do I not fucking kill another one?!”

CLOSE YOUR DOORS. Closed doors give you a much better chance of survival if your house catches on fire.

CLOSE BEFORE YOU DOZE

Oil of Olay has an in-shower body lotion/body conditioner that works better than any regular lotion I have ever used. And I’ve tried them all. You shower normally, rinse, and what I do is turn off the shower and just use my hands to swipe water off myself so I can get better coverage with the lotion. Then I start from my head and work my way down with the lotion. (Doing it this way saves on product too). When I’m done, turn the water back on and rinse off. The stuff is magical. I have to be careful of things I put on my skin due to some sensitivity issues, and I have zero problems with this. It’s stupid expensive and nearly impossible to find in stores anymore so I have to get it online, but it’s worth it. After a week of not using it, my skin is a flakey, itchy mess.

They have a version with lavendar and retinol in it now as well, but I haven’t tried that one. I just use the regular one.

And to add on to this - curly-haired people, put a silky case on your pillow. It will not snag your hair nearly as badly as a non-silky one does, which means less frizz when you get up in the morning.

pancake games

I’ve never heard of non-vr games referred to as this before. It’s clever!

Somewhat relatedly, I also learned just yesterday that some flat tumors are called pancake tumors. I didn’t really enjoy learning that one, though. :(

Oh man. Many, MANY years ago I had what certainty looks like an identical problem. I actually jumped so for several years because I couldn’t stand it any longer and no one could help me. I’m trying to remember what I finally did that solved it, and I’m about 95% sure I had to create a brand new, clean profile. Just reinstalling or refreshing firefox did not do the trick, I had to make a new profile. It was so long ago that I have zero recollection of how to do even that anymore, but if I were you, I’d give it a shot .

That looks like it was so satisfying to click.

And everyone but the poor Afghans knew this was how it was going to play out from the start. :(

None. They aren’t funny and clutter up feeds. I block every meme and related community I come across so I can more easily find actual meaningful content.

Oh, trust me, you are not alone. Our 2 biggest offenders are also “highly religious, pious men”, so there’s that, too.
