It's an iPhone, I'm not sure how much of a thing those are. I know for the handful of specific apps that I've bothered to check for my significant other, I've always come up empty handed.

Playing Worms at a friend's house around that age is one of the fondest memories I have of any game.

I was specifically addressing your line about Latin.

I'm not really clear on what the aim of your broader point really is actually driving at. If someone struggles with language acquisition or production, yes they may struggle with the complete name of their specific diagnosis.

If communicating the specific name to the outside world is important, having it written down somewhere may help. We use tools to help move our bodies. Why wouldn't we use tools to help extend our brains.

If it's truly important to have the specific name, the other party may need to look it up anyway, which is easier with a spelling.

You don't need to speak Latin to notice common roots and get a gist for what a term means.

If you're actually in a position where it's useful to distinguish one type of dementia from another, having a meaning that's linked to what the symptoms are may help you remember both name and symptoms.

If you're not a medical professional, remembering either name or symptoms for specific types of dementia is unlikely to be useful.

I don't use any of the emoji that could have a skin tone. I will occasionally use emoji, but don't find that the faces or hands are useful.

Oh yeah, being turned into a book is unlikely to be worth the headache for anyone involved. The tree burials that are legal in some spots is a reasonable option. Or just donation to science.

Whatever is cheapest/lowest fuss is fine. If that means I get reused or recycled great! If not, just don't let me be a bother.

Sky burial is also awesome. Hopefully there are enough vultures to keep that up in at least some places. There's a 99% Invisible episode that talks about collapsing vulture populations resulting in issues with doing it in India.

Same for human parts for me.

Weirdly enough, I still think my preferred way to dispose of my eventual cadaver is being made into a book.

I wouldn't want to own book me, but I love the idea of being a book. Not like a gruesome one where someone could tell right off, something more boring than that.

This is in line with other comments. Embarrassing yourself in public with her is potentially funny for both of you.

Trying to embarrass her more directly than that may be crossing a line.

I'm surprised by anchovies lacking it but you appear to be correct, even for raw anchovies. I tried looking at a handful of other raw fish and they also have no vitamin C.

I guess that makes sense, if fish could supply vitamin C I can't imagine scurvy would've been a problem for long.

I'm not sure why the need to draw a firm distinction between the two. I'm quite focused on lyrics if they're present and in a language I understand. I'm not fussed if they aren't.

If you find the music in some way engaging, that's enough. Denigrating other music as in some way lesser than your preferred genre is odd.

Any mobile issues I saw seemed mostly tied to PWA being a bit weird. Even those were issues were well-behaved compared to other sites I've tried to use as PWA, even on desktop

To some extent. The ones I've tried don't seem to use the block lists on my piefed account. I still need to poke around more to see if I can find one that's usable.

On the bright side, the mobile implementation of the website is surprisingly good. It's mostly usable as a PWA, which is what I've been doing so far.

Edit: It may just take time. After posting this I checked again and Voyager now has my blocked items. The others may as well.
