If that’s something you’re going to be doing a lot, maybe look into starting a Mastodon account or some other service more specifically tailored to blogging?

ENOUGH THAT I CAN USE IT AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PANCAKE SYRUP IN A PINCH IF NECESSARY!!!

If I put sugar in it, I might as well be drinking soda and juice again.

Paying attention to a trans man’s feelings would only give them feelings of gender dysphoria.

Sounds like a big opportunity if anybody ever wanted to start up and run a big, popular instance…

Though it might be a bit of a nightmare to moderate.

If I wanted it to taste bad and bitter, sure.

Plus, no chargebacks.

If a customer gets cash from the ATM and then gives you the cash, they can’t later try to claw that cash back by denying the charge.

For me, the permanent cure for hiccups was being in the hospital with broken ribs. Getting a case of the hiccups when you have broken ribs is not fun.

With pain as my teacher, I quickly learned how to stop hiccups with willpower alone. And I’ve been able to do it ever since. I get one hiccup, tell myself “that’s the last one”, and it is.

or if I should try to find a good quality version instead, since what I usually find is in the supermarket where it’s almost universally cheap junk

Or take the opportunity to check the second-hand market for it! Craigslist/FB marketplace, thrift shops, ebay (used, private seller), garage sales, etc. Tends to be a lot cheaper, great for the environment (because less resources needed for new production and less stuff in landfills), and keeps your money away from evil corporations.

Why would you ever have a backlog in the first place? Why would you buy a game and then not play it?

Put the games you want to play in the future on your wishlist. When you’re ready to play a new game, pick one from your wishlist, buy it, play it.

The games aren’t going away, they’re not going to run out of digital copies. Why would you ever buy it before you’re ready to play it? It doesn’t matter whether it’s sitting in your wishlist or your hard drive, so let them sit in your wishlist, where it’s a lot cheaper for them to sit.

(Okay, sure, games go on sale on steam occasionally, and you might want to pick one up while it’s on sale. Even then, though … games tend to get cheaper over time as they get older. Just waiting and buying it later might ultimately be cheaper than the ‘on sale’ price.)

Man, I still eat like shit, but when I switched to drinking only water (instead of mainly soda/juice), I was easily able to lose the excess weight that had been building up.

No other changes. Just drink water. Only water. Water is good.

I keep a pitcher of cold, filtered water in the mini-fridge by my desk. That shit is delicious. And I don’t even miss anything. If you’re struggling with the switch to water, get yourself some good water.

Same here. I block all kinds of communities, often just because they’re not relevant to my interests.

I wish I knew a way to block a community without having to visit that community first, directly from my front page where a post from that community is showing up.
