That stuff will turn into plastic and take part of the wall off with it if it gets left it up there.
I know this because some asshole kid stuck a slice of cheese on my lamp post glass and I had to scrape it off with a razor blade when I found it who knows how long after.

Submitted mine to city hall the day after I got it, and checked today that they have it showing as voted.

The worst is when they wear basically the same thing as the actual staff.
Then you get in the habit of looking for a logo, so any women think you are being weird, at best… no I just wanna know if you work here without asking a stupid question!!! I don’t even care about your boobs rn, it’s just where your company stores the logo!

- Comment on Evil 4 weeks ago:
When I first joined lemmy years ago (this was my first fedi account, so however old this is) I was not aware that some instances censor certain things prior to feeding content to the rest of the fediverse, so I’d come across [redacted] quite a lot, with no context for why it was there.
So I started writing it myself for fun, I can’t be the only one out of the loop and it was frequently hilarious in context, so thought nothing of doing it myself. I bet that confused a lot of people, since I’m not on a censored server. Lets just say that was intentional ;)

You need to give it pitocin to induce contractions, but it’s only available by prescription.
- Comment on Anon learns about astronomy 5 weeks ago:
I almost wish my telescope was like that, just for object tracking, but it would have been several hundred more than this sucker cost (an 8 inch dobsonian - big ol’ telescope)
And the only reason I want it is if you throw enough magnification on such a big telescope, stuff moves through the field of view REALLY fast. If you look at the moon, with a 2x and 5x lense coupled, you can feel the earth rotate. Its wild and something I enjoy showing people. But it does make it difficult to really look at stuff. Especially when i have non-skywatchers with me and I have to re-position it myself every 30 seconds.
- Comment on gummy 5 weeks ago:
I guess i should try that again… ive done butter and coconut oil extractions, neither did shit for me.
But then again I’ve only had potent weed gummies work for me one time ever, and that was 100mg, a dose that is both expensive and no longer does the job. I take 5mg for sleep sometimes and that works but I dont get anything fun out of any of it. I keep hearing stories of people being knocked on their ass and I want that!
- Comment on Is "American posing as a Canadian" a real thing? 1 month ago:
Yoooers can for sure. It’s such an uncommon accent (there aren’t that many people in the UP and northeast Wisconsin to begin with, and most people who grow up there don’t leave or travel all that much) but so close to stereotypically Canadian that it threw me the first dozen or so times I heard it.
- Comment on 9/11 Conspiracy: what REALLY happened? 1 month ago:
Any two adults on one of those things would have that happen. It’s inevitable. Adults have a much higher center of gravity, and are heavier in general, than kids, for whom the equipment is scaled and for whom the spring resistance is set. It starts to fall over, and keeps going until someone loses grip, at which point the other person is launched regardless of relative weight differences. Its all about that spring.
This is an “adults on kid stuff are funny” thing. Doesn’t have to be more than that. Any adults who fuck around on playground equipment should have a general understanding of this, what with it being a near universal experience.

This is why cbt (therapy, not to do with testicles) didn’t work for me.

- Comment on Apple Maps has Ads now 2 months ago:
Well shit, I do that with google maps anyway (only one that seems to work decently for me, but they don’t need to know specifically where I’m going.)
Does it have the “avoid highways” option? I have an EV now and I started to avoid highways as a result, and then I realized its just so much more peaceful and hardly takes more time, and now all my driving avoids highways.

- Comment on When the lunacy of the absurd job application finally puts you over the edge 2 months ago:
I got frustrated and eventually just skipped any that did this. If my resume isn’t sufficient, why do you accept it at all? Just don’t take the resume, or don’t take the form. Pick. Not both.
Not worth it. The places that did this never called me anyway. Never.
- Comment on Anon likes cooking 2 months ago:
So am I!
I can do housework and even some major projects now and then, and it makes me hurt, sometimes to the point I can’t get out of bed, so then I don’t do more work for a few days, until it feels better, rinse and repeat. Amazing!
Jobs with any sort of physical component just constantly aggravate those pains, day after day, until I break down completely. Super fun stuff! Even sitting at a screen all day aggravates the upper back problems after a couple months! No ergonomics or physical therapy have fixed that, yet. If I could find a fully remote job that would probably work for a while, but those are hard to land. So here we are.
- Comment on My hands are filthy, burned and calloused so hers can be filled with chicken nuggets. 2 months ago:
I went to vote in the primaries recently and flipped off the flock cameras all along the way because it was the first time I’d passed them in a while. I was fully expecting to get a ticket for the double-bird and not having my hands on the wheel. Instead, I went for a walk two days ago to discover all the flock cameras have been removed. My town ended the contract!
They are considering other options, however… A rose by any other name still triggers allergies… So I’ll for sure be looking for when city halls are happening. I guess I’ll also be going around town talking to locals about it, same as I did when deflock.me first dropped.

I’ve had this user tagged as “anti-science troll” for ages.
Last time was from just a comment chain under a post but it was just as bad as this whole thing.

Last game I played was surviving the aftermath, which is a survival base builder sort of thing. So I’m just a standard regular person with meh traits.
The amount of fucked depends on what context I’m spawning in. In reality? Meh. In the game itself? Vaguely fucked, bring more fucked as the population grows. In another reality with different rules and stuff? Ultrafucked.
- Comment on Gottem 2 months ago:
I want to make something like this for my place, maybe a few, but I’m afraid of them being vandalized because I live in a conservative area.
I’m considering killing two birds with one stone by making it clear that they are under surveillance… by the people across the street who have a ring camera, and those are part of the law enforcement network.
Also I’m basically always home so not that much of a concern, really.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Thanks, but theres really nothing to be done about it short of rebuilding both flights entirely, and I’m not even sure that would fix them. The problem is the way they are built; the stairs to the second floor turn a corner, and the triangular stairs in said corner narrow to the point on the inside corner that it drops immediately 3 stairs down if you miss-step, and the miss-step is like a third of the stair. Incredibly dangerous, and I hold the rails for dear life every time.
The back stairs from the addition just aren’t even. They all have different rise because they needed to meet into three already-existing floors - main floor, back door at ground level, and basement floor, and they had to turn 3 corners to do that. I’ve tried to math out a way to make them even and I can’t. I’ll still have substantial differences between sections.
It’s a very old house full of very bad choices that can’t really be fixed without major overhaul. I’ll probably hire someone at some point to see if they can fix it, if I can ever afford that, but I’ll probably bite it on the stairs well before that happens :) I’m planning to paint the quarter rounds with glow pigment to help delineate the stairs in the dark, and add some glowing non-slip tape to the bullnose, but thats about the best I’ve got, and it won’t really help that much.

Don’t have this in the shower.
The stairs, however, have probably done me in dozens of times. I frequently say “how have I not died on these stairs yet??” As I nearly slip once more.

That’s what I’ve always done, wait until the shift is nearly over and be like “just saw this, hope it all worked out!”

Napping is the factor in my control.
Im on prazosin for nightmares/night terrors and it works fine for my full sleep cycle (because I take it before bed, probably) but it doesn’t seem to apply to naps.
