  I had the pleasure to first time it blind and, well, I may have cried a little. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time keeps on slipping⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Los Angeles has had an unrelenting heatwave for most of spooktember. It’s been exceedingly hard to get into the spirit with highs hitting 40C/105F (or higher in the valley oof).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You've Just Been Hit By The Front Burner Gang⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My cat likes to chill right of the stove. Damn right I prefer left mow; it only takes a little burnt tail to get you to stop using the right altogether. (He’s ok btw, cat fur is weirdly fire retardant.)

  I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I feel traumatized doing the professor oak challenge in that era… White 2, specifically, some 'mons are just extremely rare. I say this, fully anticipating doing a Silver/Gold run soon to buff my Gen V living dex.

  Speaking of, I’m currently going after the 492 Pokemon in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky, which uses a living dex. Same era, I suggest you give it a go sometime-- it’s got quite a cult following for a reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banana for scale⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wheeeeeeee fractions!

  But after multiplying, 8 + 54 + 3 over 64 is just clean fun, you end up with 14 1/64 inches and wanna die because you accidentally cut the material at 14 inches and now your whole day is ruined.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When it happened to one of my students at least I was able to play it off and make fun of Windows instead of embarrassing them. But I also give full credit on presentations regardless of how bad they go.

  That said, woe is you if it’s literally anything else, like a conference or a business meeting. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s gonna run so good⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Imma bout to rip holes in my wall to get a cable upstairs. WiFi is simply awful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wealth inequality will destroy America.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As infuriating and dangerous as MAGA is, just remember who the true enemy is. There is no war but class war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SBA #266 Time for a Commercial Break! SpongeBob Adventures is brought to you by...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’d make a good T-shirt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brady Inspires us all⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty solid landing page, honestly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*Proceeds to append an exclamation mark*⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love systems that accept “With that being said, “In systems that accept whitespace, “Live, Laugh, Love” is considered a strong password.” is an even stronger password.” as my password.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me_IRL⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They only seem to ask at small places like TJa and they don’t seem to every change anything so I’ve never had to answer no.

  But I do think I overheard someone say no and was actually told how a product wasn’t in stock currently and that they’ll get more on Wednesday (iirc?). It was weirdly helpful, which broke my cynical brain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ass men after seeing their 69th tiddie meme today⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d imagine soapy feet hits different, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what would one win...?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a shame, I prefer PvE cooperative pooping with friends which is already bad enough with season play. Plus, it’s probably pay to win (gacha 5 star toilet paper is so OP!).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah, Beans⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh that does sound so good! I only ever have it as saag paneer or tikka masala, but smoked and as a snack sounds great in an Asian sauce.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah, Beans⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t think of any that mimic the process of tofu, given it requires coagulation. The closest is cheese, specifically paneer. Maybe imitations, like with gelatin, but not in the same way as tofu.

  So why not? I’m not sure, as you can make a paste from chickpeas (hummus), beans, or lentils. But you kind of need to make a milk out of it, coagulate that liquid, mold and press the mixture. Do those mixtures create milky liquid if cooked? Do they react to chemicals to coagulate into a curd?

  Given I never see bean or lentil milk, I think that’s the bottleneck. Nor almond or oat milk tofu, although I bet that’s a safer bet. I think soy just fulfills certain requirements and it’s kind of genius that people even figured out how to make tofu in the first place!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a community keeps posting post will it show up as more active and thus drawing more users? Even if it's one person who posts a lot?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a simple user. I go with an All feed with 6hr filter, then just check regularly. I usually get bored around the time I’m hitting the posts with 20 to 30 net positive votes, but sometimes go all the way if I’m killing time a lot that day. Gives a lot of pretty interesting stuff without getting too crazy or upsetting.

  All this is to say, a single user posting four times a day with enough up votes to push it up to 20 net positive up votes and I’ll probably see it. But I only ever comment and upvote, so it’s not as good as getting a secondary poster or lifelong community member.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broomsticks? What is this? The Dark Ages?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it depends on how you sit. I’d probably take either a meditative lotus pose or maybe a whimsical cross legs with a cup of tea, so no, not gangsta.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amanda⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  More the reason to rescue them when able, to keep them out of that environment. It’s fucked how easy it is to buy them in some places, but it’s illegal in places for reasons you mention.

  I ended up with mine because an idiot roommate thought it was a good idea to buy two for his estranged wife as a lunar new years gift. After being shipped twice, I found the surviving one in my sink with a busted eye and a broken digit, so I nursed it back to health and gave it a 55 gallon tank.

  That was 10 years ago and without a doubt, that idiot roommate never got back with his estranged wife either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I regret to inform you all that I will not be purchasing the OoT remake.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am also not buying the remake, but honestly mostly because I’m an achievement whore. SoH doesn’t support RetroAchevements though, but I’m ok being a purist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*Throws grenade and runs*⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps we give it a pass in a post-scarcity world? When capitalism isn’t in the picture, it’s not taking jobs or ruining the environment or anything like that.

  Although, you kinda still have to “write” a holodeck program and it also seems to be slightly harder than prompting or they’d be doing it on the fly a bit more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, we have the same desktop today, huh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨you can date the time period by popular catch phrases⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Patient gamer here. Wife and I said that catchphrase in 2015. Don’t trust this method when time traveling!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over 85% of Japanese game developers use generative AI in game development, 2026 CESA survey shows. An increase from last year’s 51%⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, this tracks. My wife’s at a company that has both JP and US branches and the JP side seems a lot more chill with generative AI (although they learned already not to use it in production, only internal visuals and planning). It’s rather unfortunate, although hard to say if they would have hired an illustrator or just gone without visuals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will not be opening for Ed Sheeran⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought I was a weird choice to open for him, given I give psychology lectures for a living, but I made the decision not to open for Ed Sheeran following the silencing of Macklemore by zionist lobbies.

  I am a traditional lecturer who never saw myself presenting to stadiums of that size and that opportunity is not lost on me. I have not been friends with Ed for over 10 years and will continue not to be. I believe in dialogue as a means of processing the plight of the Palestinian people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xdekonmmlccf⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol wtf, I just played and beat Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky for the first time and I see a meme for it? Ha.

  Btw, great story full of existential dread and other serious themes like being overwhelmed, or loss of a loved one. A weirdly good story for an IP with terrible stories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Genius idea. Somehody should share this with the antivaxxers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh how I wish more antivaxxers chugged bleach…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We being set up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Truth be told, dragon dancers still win so often against everyone else, but the bar is pretty low. Lol

  I am on a retro fix lately and adore my Gen V Volcarona with Quiver Dance, but in that generation, my Ferrothorn saves me more often than not. Still, can’t do competitive with those DS games though, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We being set up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To add, it’s even worse if you know sweepers and how fast they can decimate your team; they usually have protection to one shot KO and decent speed.

  Except there’s perhaps a third bored looking Spongebob with the counter ready to go, as you should always be ready to counter a Swords Dance sweeper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finding a job tier list:⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife got my sister a job, although she still had hoops to jump. I think that’s probably B?
