Ah hell, now I want pancakes real bad.

Yeah THAT blows my mind a bit? I posted to an empty community and it got deleted. What the fuck? It wasn’t offensive and it was on topic. It was a niche community too.

Just reposting, not the author!

Had a tamer but similar hill near my home growing up. Loved speeding down. It ended in a lot filled with gravel. Fortunately the day I spun out on the gravel lot was coming from a different, slower direction. Developed an extremely bad case of road rash all over one leg. When I realized what might have happened if I’d been taking the hill instead, that I probably would have broken my legs or worse, I stopped going down that hill. Realization of mortality can be like a bucket of ice water sometimes.

A proper return to ‘Don’t Feed the Trolls’

I got all the way to the last level once… but never beat it. The lava level man.

In order, Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM), Pokemon, Digimon

Learning to flip things in any cookware is still a work in progress for me, but it always gives impressively better results when I can manage it, so it’s something I want to master!

This one’s new to me; I love it!

I find that also cuts down on how much your eyes water (for the onions)

I’m with you on the confusion because it’s like… I don’t feel the need to act this way, why do other people? What drives them that, in a void, they resort to these thoughts and behaviors? Is this who they really are, or is it an act, like doing an evil playthrough in a game. “I want to because I can here, and I can’t anywhere else?”

Isn’t that just what Firefox was before it was Firefox?

I’ve been complimented on my voice before, and those aren’t weird compliments. But delivery is important. I had a coworker tell me, “Your voice is great!” And of course I’m thankful. But then deadpan, she goes, “You should do ASMR so I can listen to it.”

Now that was a weird compliment.

Nothing that serious, thankfully. Just want to obfuscate my data and leave as little of an impression on the internet as I can. Good advice, thank you!

I’ve got a bit of a VPN question if anyone wants to educate a newbie a little. When I tried a VPN (Mullvad actually!) it defaulted to Sweden but then accessing my banking information didn’t work. If I switch a VPN to reflect that I’m somewhere randomly in the USA, is that still sufficient protection?

So glad that my team is largely composed of busy tech folk because going “Sorry I was multitasking” is a valid response haha.
