In early high school (15~ years ago), I went with my girlfriend at the time and her family to a local restaurant that still had one of the only smoking sections left in the city. All of her family smoked, and I couldn’t even enjoy my meal because my senses were overloaded by cigarettes. It was horrible and I’m so thankful we removed smoking indoors in the states.

I thought some platforms (particularly Facebook/Instagram) will parse images for “bad” words and throttle the engagement of those posts, so people have taken to censoring themselves to avoid that.

I’m convinced those people have to be elaborate trolls. Like the flat earthers.

What are some alternatives? I’ve heard Tidal is one of the better ones. I’m not necessarily opposed to piracy/ripping my CD collection + self-hosted streaming, but if I can pay someone else for the convenience I’d rather do that.

Do any services have a comparable family plan too?

Metallica spearheaded the movement against the music sharing platform Napster back in the day. Lars Ulrich in general was a big opponent of music piracy. (Although, apparently he has since chilled out a bit).

He’s also just not a good drummer.

I guess he’s not that bad, all things considered. Just don’t like the guy.

Hell, I wish my downloads took money directly from him. He sucks.

Got any tips or tidbits for Nobara? I’m heavily considering installing it onto my new PC when I build it in a week. I’m a noob at Linux but it seemed perfect for everything I’m looking to do on my PC.

Fella’s having a rough day.

That’s Alvin, of Alvin and the Chipmunks.

“Did not know” is correct. “Knew” generally comes after a pronoun "I knew, he knew, they knew. " Know, however, is also fine after pronouns.

I’m sure there’s a properly defined rule in English for it, but I definitely don’t know it.

I used to be a big hater of Crocs. Ugly, rubbery, cheap looking things that anyone should be ashamed of wearing.

I needed a new pair of shoes for a new little garden patio we did up. On a whim, I tried a pair of Crocs (with semi-ironic weed leaf print), and honestly? They’re pretty good shoes. I wear em when I do other various chores that might have me going outside.

glances at my week old basket of laundry to be folded and put away

I made it say “brick shithouse” lmao

“works without amp or outlet”

Dickbutt, my beloved

Like, why do they censor the little girl’s chest? Can’t anybody learn to appreciate the appearance of the female body?

Dude.

I know you said you had autism (I’m not really quite sure what that has to do with all this), so maybe picking up on social cues isn’t a thing you’re the best at (this is not an insult), but I really need to to re-read these sentences and evaluate how creepy and insane they sound, even if you genuinely mean well.

No :')

I wouldn’t call her a hero. She was wildly incompetent, and screwed up half of the employees’ tax info. I was a single filer with no dependants, but she had me down for married with 4 dependants. She also lost all the forms, so I couldn’t prove I messed up my W2s (or whatever those forms are).

It was the way the information was presented, plus it made everyone realize that there was a pretty huge gap in several people’s salaries, even those in the same job (ie, one engineer made 50k while another made 70k, doing the same job). I agree though, employees should not be punished for discussing pay.

At my old job, they had an HR person that was not qualified to be an HR person, and she “accidentally” sent an Excel spreadsheet of everyone’s wages and salaries to the entire company email distro.

1. She was not fired, but put on a suspension.
2. Don’t know why she had an unsecured Excel file of important information like that.
3. Everyone was pissed lol
