erhoslab is still around, last i checked. nice guy, nice voice, no screaming.

i’m hearing this about our state DFPS - as far as i know, you now only need to be 18 and you need to have graduated high school. then you get to destroy families.

i posted about having this experience on reddit a year or two ago and people were pissed? but yeah, empty shelves and barely any employees. it sucks, because i used to enjoy going there to see what’s new.

i believe you can do this if you choose and when you’re ready. i won’t lie - it’s not easy, but you may decide if is easier than staying. the dv hotline can direct you to local services, including housing. be careful if you begin to explore your options; he may escalate.

(800) 799-7233. if you can safely search, they also have text and chat contact online.

i ran into this kind of garbage the other day looking for a Nicholas Jaar video when i couldn’t recall the name. like BoC, there’s tons and tons of tracks by Jaar, but results gave me one or two of his most popular tracks and a buuuuuunch of other stuff. i couldn’t even just keep scrolling, there were a dozen results and then the “related search” garbage.

ugh, i’m so fed up with google, and at the same time not motivated enough to figure out workarounds. i have work and shit to do around my house.

i guess, with me, they won.

edit typo

seems like i read something to the effect that DiCaprio made a lot of suggestions to give depth to his character, and that the movie as initially written really was more just-the-gimmick. i hated Tenet; i imagine Inception without likable (edit - or at least interesting) characters would have felt more like that.

i find myself using “friend” a lot lately. dunno if that’s a great replacement.

having viewed the video now, i initially found myself surprised i was not more horrified. my best guess as to why is this - what seemed most notable to me was his apparent sanity and intentionality in making this choice. he chose the where and when of his death and intended it to matter.

if i could parent my oldest kid again, i would let him struggle more and fail more.

the inevitable rude awakening was ROUGH.

edit - grammar

the only time i ever lost a paper/document (at 13, for social studies), was on an apple IIc. then i rewrote it. i cried A LOT.

it has never happened since, and writing is a significant part of my job. i learned the hard way.

amazingly, chemistry has given us the ability to have a better quality of life, even when our brains work differently.

when she’s 25 and benefitting from meds, she may resent it if this was not an option you explored with her.

i can’t give you a source for “most people,” but personally my out-of-pocket is $6k for myself, $12k for my family. about the only thing covered before that number is met is yearly physicals. i pay about $500 a month for this (after my employer’s contribution). dental separate, no vision.

but… if you really like your shampoo, why not buy $35 worth at once?

been free for two or three years. i haven’t missed a thing, as far as i can tell.

wow, wtf. what a scam.

this is one reason why i have never had prime. not that i order much from amazon anyway (very rarely, in fact).

i think people think amazon is a lot more indispensable than it actually is.

…i think you have me confused with others.

anyway, i’m not convinced trying to delineate between the two is so neat or always necessary. but it seems no further conversation is to be had here.

… but texans are americans?

look, mythology and religion may not refer to precisely the same thing, but there was a relationship between greek mythology and religious practice. understanding one is helpful in understanding the other.

i will give you that one. 😮‍💨

what? i can’t speak specifically to crunchyroll (not willing to pay for it), but i watch a lot of movies in languages other than english with english subtitles on roku.

if roku is insisting on this (?), they aren’t insisting on it for other services like hbo.
