All items are clothes if you're imaginative enough?

Game cube, if I'm remembering right.

It feels like companies like this eventually become vehicles for like 5 people to make lots of money. You can't let go the guy making these mistakes - lining his pocket is the purpose of the company! It'd be ridiculous to fire him! Unless some of the other 4 people making money decide he's keeping them from lining their pockets.

The vagueness of these posts get to me a bit. Do they like clean sheets cause they feel nice, or do they change their sheets in the middle of the night because they might've sweat on them and they can't stop thinking about it? People use OCD too casually, but people also take someone talking about their illness, latch onto the part easiest to minimize, and run with it.

If you think you might have OCD, get diagnosed and get care if you can, but if that's not possible, find some legitimate, useful advice from reputable sources.

If you can't stop thinking that you're probably faking, it doesn't hurt people who have been diagnosed for you to take some books out of the library and find out if the advice helps you. In fact, it lets the library know those resources are in demand so they'll be there for others, later.

There's a vet around me that has a huge animal statue out front that they decorate for the holidays.

Her symptoms were similar to mine when I had anemia last year. I remember being like "maybe this is what getting old is like" and then I had a routine physical and whoops my vitamin d and iron were in the shitter.

I think if you're in your 40s and experiencing brain fog, memory problems, muscle loss, you should not just assume it's normal aging. But there are a lot of things it could be. It's useful to know it might be hormones, sure! Maybe people who don't get anemia are living life on easy mode, but I don't know how much I should generalize from my experience.

The comments on that article from trans women who experienced similar positive changes from taking estrogen make me think it's a very complicated issue and people might have different solutions to similar problems. But it might still be useful to give it a shot. Just, no guarentees. Someone said that T and E aren't exactly opposites, like men and women aren't really opposites.

Remorse does feel like the weight of a miniature horse on you at all times

It's valuable for .ml to have duplicates since certain instances and numerous individuals are defederated from them. There are also people who are trying to diversify the fediverse by moving communities off .world. Big, opinionated communities like the different news communities are going to spawn new versions as people disagree with mod decisions or the background culture and feel they can't have the conversations they want.

Some splitting is inevitable, imo, and healthy, though whether it's good in this or that particular case is a useful conversation to have. Merging communities is also useful, but only when it makes sense (one is barely moderated or barely used, or people have defederated from an instance one is on because of spam, etc.)

I think it's a case by case basis type situation.

Raft was kind of interesting, and chill if you turn off "sharks keep attacking for some reason" mode.

I watched someone play Satisfactory and they had a blast.

Dinkum was fun and not stressful, but the characters have big heads and it's got some typical farming life sim elements that were inspired by harvest moon and animal crossing.

 
 

Since November 2023, when Russia’s Supreme Court designated the non-existent “international LGBT social movement” as an “extremist organization,” police departments across the country have executed a full-scale crackdown on the queer community. Officers have raided clubs and parties and placed LGBTQ+ people under surveillance while bigots harass queer community members and try to expose them to employers and parents. Wherever the authorities go, they collect evidence that facilitates monitoring, from video footage and business records to fingerprints and even mouth swabs. Meduza special correspondent Lilia Yapparova has learned that Russian officials are also discussing overhauling the country’s data-collection practices to create a single electronic registry for monitoring LGBTQ+ individuals — a database that would make blackmailing and persecuting queer people vastly easier.

 

Gay Gen-Z New York City Council member Chi Ossé has successfully done something that has failed in past attempts — ending the longtime practices of having apartment-seekers pay expensive brokers’ fees… and he did it, in part, by using social media videos.

 
 

My poor cat scratched his head by accident and won't leave the cut alone, so it's cone time. Unfortunately, every cone we've tried had been incredibly disruptive to his life. The newest one is at least lighter and he eats okay wearing it, but he's still miserable.

I'm willing to even make one if someone has a pattern they've used. I tried a hat, but he gets it off right away. I clip his claws shorter already, and it's not quite enough to keep him from reinjuring himself.

Any suggestions? He has allergies, so this is going to be an occasional problem.
