Unrelated, but if she’s ever interested in sharing, I’d be interested in hearing what it was like to be a female dev in the 80s! It’s tough enough today.

I wash my butt in the shower right after a shit and then just dry up with a towel as I do after any shower. Somehow, I don’t even mind the water being completely cold if it’s just my butt hanging into the shower. I do I eat a lot of fibre though.

A tan on a skin type that doesn’t tan well. Maybe from a tanning bed where you wear eye protection, would explain why that area is so weirdly white.

So is cheese flavoured popcorn a grilled cheese sandwich to you? The ingredients alone don’t make a dish, the method of preparation matters as well.

I don’t socialize while gaming, but my sibling found his online friend by joining public Discord servers for specific games. I think they even found some on dedicated subreddits.

It didn’t say that. I said the opposite: you can’t be sure it’s ethical when it’s free, because it’s much less transparent then.

If you want to be reasonably certain it’s ethically made, you kind of have to pay for porn.

Edit: also, if you want something specific that free sites don’t cater to. Like lesbian porn that isn’t obviously only meant to appeal to men.

Start a masters thesis. Work feels like a nice break from it.

They are! Great for walking. For sitting around, I prefer something more loose though. I wouldn’t normally wear them to work (even though that’s more standing and only some sitting).

Went on a hike today, didn’t get home between then and work. Now on the way home from work and looking forward to taking them off!

To be fair, headaches in particular CAN be linked to muscle strain in the back and neck. BUT a physiotherapist or medical masseuse (is that a thing in English?) will take care of that, and not a charlatan.

My mum just does not believe me when I say ‘I don’t know, I don’t use this software’. When I say I have no idea how to get word to do what she needs because I’ve used nothing but latex for close to ten years, clearly I’m just trying to get out of helping, right?

She’s not the only one, either. They always expect you to figure it out. Especially egregious: I didn’t customize my CV for a teaching job. It said I can code a bit. Guess who became the windows support for the older teachers?

My mum felt entitled to go through any and all of my things the entire time I lived with her. Never had privacy until after I moved out. I’m pretty fucked up, mental health wise.

Got an old wood stove that’s not really in use, but could be used for heat and cooking. Not entirely sure if could get dry wood quickly, but it probably get it to burn. I’ve done many a campfire with freshly collected wood.

I’m also vegan, so most of my protein sources are legumes, which are either canned or dried, ie shelf stable. I buy those as well as rice and other shelf stable things in bulk because there’s only the tiniest little shop nearby and i try to stock up whenever I get to borrow a car. What I currently have would probably last me a month of normal eating, so i guess like two if i ration.

If I can shop for things, I could go on indefinitely. Thinking about it, it sounds kind of nice to literally not be able to work on my thesis and get to read and draw a bunch.

That’s not much consolation to everything alive today. I think the existence of life is pretty morally neutral, but the suffering were causing for the life that already exists is inexcusable.

I WOULD find that neat if the planet was uninhabitable for human life only as opposed to most life

Oooh that’s promising, thank you!

Good pointers, thanks! Testing it before actually deleting windows is important to me

Hmm I somehow thought that wouldn’t work with illicit copies; I’ll read up on wine and torrent software that works on it and get back to you if you want :)

Austria is where I’m from :) yeah England and Germany aren’t too bad, I taste the chlorine, but I’ll still drink the water. I begrudgingly opted for bottled water in North America too, though. Couldn’t handle it. Even the chlorine smell during a shower was annoying, I had never noticed that anywhere else.
