One time it wasn’t working for me for like a week, but I found after checking on another device it had been working the whole time and I just needed to clear my cache. That’s why I feel relief lol

Bucket hat is basically your only option

Tried to sleep for several hours and couldn’t.

As long as you’ve been avoiding using deodorant for the same time period, I think you’re good to go!

Was just told by a teacher I know that they are now legally required to call kids by their legal name. If the kid wants to be called anything else, this has to be reported to their parents first. God I hate this place.

Why do any of us give a shit what “anti-tankie” spaces think about us? If they defed, good riddance. I don’t see why we should appease anti-communists in any way.

Fair :) A thicker pencil may still help. I have a nice fat brass one that I like, but I like heavy writing implements. Idk if brass is for everyone.

I use pens particularly so that I can’t erase; I have to accept mistakes rather than chase the dream of perfection. One of the things I do to try to deal with perfectionism, it does help somewhat.

my hand gets sore if I write too long

This is often due to death grip on the pen. A fatter pen helps, as does using a pen that doesn’t need to be pressed into the paper; like a fountain pen or at least a roller ball. Ballpoints suck. Sorry I don’t have any actual advice for what you’re asking about, but I’m a pen nerd and not a computer nerd and liking fountain pens is like 25% of my personality.

Not if I’m paying attention. Like if I’m eating a meal at a table with people then I’m pretty neat. But eating or drinking at my computer while doing shit on it I spill stuff on myself all the time. I wear shitty house-only clothes when working at the computer so that it doesn’t matter.

Pickleball is fun, and I’m not gonna pretend otherwise.

That’s a good idea! Ty

Thank you!

Also, hilarious article. I should work for a think tank, I could write a follow up article about how yes, Russian artillery is obliterating the Ukrainian army, but we all need to remember just how much wear and tear that’s gonna be putting on those gun barrels.

Estonia was a member republic of the USSR. The idea that it was occupied in any way is fascist propaganda, lmao. You’re a nazi. Enjoy licking western boots, just remember that when shit hits the fan, they’ll boot you out of the white club and into being an “Asiatic” whenever it serves their interest.

Nooooo! Not one of my precious specters haunting the minds of men!!!

Love spending the entirety of my income updating my modern deck every 6 months. Why do I love playing this game so much

Drinking PBR for the first time in over a month, god it’s so fucking good. The nectar of the gods. And it’s down to $16 for a 30 pack (it peaked at like $24 a year or so ago).

I don’t know what that means, but I say go for it!

Anyone have any good recs for modern or contemporary alliterative poetry? I love ancient Germanic alliterative verse (Beowulf, the poetic Edda, etc.) but would be interested in reading stuff that’s a little more recent too. I typically prefer alliteration to rhyme; the majority of poetry I write is alliterative.

I think she lost that account. She’s still around, under a different name.

Unrelated to this particular article: but has anyone else been having trouble with archived articles like this recently? Like I get the CAPTCHA, pass it, then just get another one over and over again. I can never get to the article. Don’t know how to fix.
