yes
I’m a lesbian, but y’all femboys look fine as hell just sayin

i use github regularly and do not think it has a decent layout

cake for dinner still feels great
looking at myself in the mirror after (and also the heartburn) feels bad

we can already sorta see this in fashion

in ye olde days, the more bits and baubles and lace and ruffles you had on your clothes/shoes/furniture, the richer you were

since the advent of industrialized consumer goods, flashy embellished things are marketed to the working class meanwhile the bourgeois drop mega money on plain color or simply patterned gowns and tuxes, absurdly minimalist furniture, and unadorned shoes that showcase whatever exotic material they’re made of

for complex tasks like laundry I wonder if material recycling and on-demand manufacturing will advance far enough first that we end up “3d printing” (or Star Trek replicating) clothes and then just tossing dirty ones into a material recycling system, well before we have the tech to make a robot wash them haha

such a bummer. this would have been a huge win for those with dexterity/mobility issues. i bet some laundromats would have purchased some also, which could have potentially decreased the price of wash & fold service (or they may have even made some available to be rented by customers to use themselves inside the laundromat)

I had the perfect phone. Sony XZ2 Compact. released in 2018 so not even that old

5" screen. No headphone jack, but I was honestly just glad to have a screen that small. Ran LineageOS like a dream.

Then came the 3G tower shutdown. Now, the XZ2c is capable of 4G LTE calling. Lineage even had the settings option for it unlocked (as opposed to stock). So I call up my carrier and ask them to please enable 4G LTE calling for my phone so that it’ll receive calls again.

Turns out, the major carriers in the US decided not to support 4G LTE calling for the XZ2c. There’s a line of code sitting somewhere that could be flipped to “true” and my perfect phone would work again. But no, fuck me for wanting to resist CONSOOM NOO FONE EVERY SIX MONTH.

Fuck capitalism I’ll never forget what they took from me

someone was working on one years ago and it seems to never have come to market

accidentally turning your kids into Web 1.0 enjoyers lol

if it’s less than ~10 words yes

if it’s more words my ADHD psychic shield of “i aint readin all a’ that” kicks in

In the U.S., according to Census Bureau data, an estimated 163,401 households were using dial-up alone to get online in 2023, representing just over 0.13% of all homes with internet subscriptions nationwide.
(AP News)

As far as US households, looks like not many. Most likely very remote locations. I had also read that some businesses maintain a dial up connection as a backup for broadband outages

Likely under 15 min to gather the ingredients, dump them in the machine, then remove and slice when done. Especially after getting in the habit. If you premix and portion all the dry ingredients you can save even more time.

Plus you can make a much tastier and nutritious bread for the price of a crappy sandwich loaf

the Dragonball movie. fucking RUINED my birthday it was so bad.

I mainly want to seen a screen adaptation of Jadis causing a ruckus in 1900s London lmao

yeah like at that point as a kid I had the concept of “going to a fantasy land” stories but always sorta applied Neverland logic where the existence of the fantasy land was somehow tied to our own (e.g. via wardrobe door)

The Wood Between the Worlds introduced to me the idea of multiple realities existing completely independently from our own. Ironically, given C. S. Lewis’ intent with Narnia, this concept helped me challenge the Protestant beliefs that I was being raised with, and brought me some form of comfort in the idea that maybe I could someday escape Yhwh’s reality.

See, child me was NOT thrilled with the idea that my afterlife was going to consist of ETERNALLY WORSHIPPING GOD AND DOING NOTHING ELSE, even if the church claimed that was some sort of unbeatable joyous bliss. After all you can be happy but still be fucking bored and that sounded like just a slightly less shitty Hell to me…

So I actually got really into mysticism as a kid to try to learn how to magic myself into a reality where you got to go to an Aslan’s Country style afterlife instead of eternal sitting in church.

This did not go over well with my religious parents, lol. Thankfully I eventually dropped all the magic and religion shit in favor of a love for science. Though I still love mystic aesthetics and high fantasy ofc

the concept of the Deplorable Word spell that kills every living thing except the caster was also terrifying and amazing to me. Took a few years to realize it was probably a metaphor for nuclear weapons

The Magician’s Nephew
this was my first introduction to the concept of multiple realities and it blew my little 7 year old mind
