A trick that has worked for me: pull on a finger. In a dream (probably because I've conditioned myself) it will stretch like taffy which was enough to indicate that I'm dreaming.

Interestingly, after a while seeing my finger stretch wasn't enough to convince me that I was dreaming: I would question whether it was stretching enough. Like "oh, it's only double it's normal length, so this is probably reality." This has also happened with other tricks I've tried, like try to fly ("I'm only hovering; probably not a dream"). It's almost like you build a tolerance for particular abnormalities.

Sorry, that was longer than I meant for it to be

Ah yes, the US Food, Drink, and Drug Administration (FDDA).

No offense intended, just poking fun.

It's odd; in the old episodes, 5-4 includes ad bumps (e.g., "It feels like a good time to take a break") but then immediately resumes the episode("And we're back") without playing an ad. Maybe they switched advertising partners and didn't bother to update old content?

I'm on the RSS feed (not Spotify, Apple, etc.) and was able to listen to most of the back catalog without ads. When I was catching up, ads weren't playing in episodes older than about 1 year.

I had a similar ad experience with The Dollop, another good podcast.

A good podcast. They do have ads though.

I'm sure I'm not the first to note this, but this person would almost definitely define gender by " what between your legs," while then describing gender based on someone's external appearance/behavior.

I guess the common thread is telling someone else what their gender is.

It also loaded automatically for me on Voyager. Maybe it's an instance thing?

True - even stranger

Strange - it seems that the NSFW tag doesn't federate between Mbin and Lemmy?

Another day, another quirk of the Fediverse.

Did you mean to comment on this post? It's not showing as NSFW to me

Bravo - very well-reasoned response.
