Social media drug? Like screen addiction?

I think technological solutions can help, eg app blockers and screentime trackers, but that’s not even half the solution. You need to figure out what need you’re trying to meet with your phone, and find a low tech version. You can’t rely on tech to cure an over-reliance on tech.

These guys are telling on themselves. “She used to be a man, so she’ll do [horrible thing].”

So you do [horrible thing] to your partners??

Feeling nostalgic and drank a bottle of chocolate milk on my lunch break. Discovered I was lactose intolerant after I clocked back in. I was the only one covering the deli counter.

I failed at moderating a server with three of my closest friends. I’m not running a server for the entire town.

Reddit won’t truly be obsolete until we one up the cbat sex thread

That makes a lot of sense, thank you.

My iconic recipe: All My Favorite Shit, Shoved In A Pot Together

Dice up a white onion, sautee in butter until lightly brown. Drain one can each of black beans, diced tomatoes, and corn. Cook til whenever. Salt, red pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Sometimes I save some black bean juice, mix it with corn starch to thicken it up, and stir it back in, and eat the whole thing over brown rice.

Alternatively: ice cream. Butter pecan in a waffle cone.

My mother’s policy was that the first time we do something wrong, talk with us, help us learn why it was wrong and how we should have acted. If we do it again even with that knowledge, punish us.

I feel like that would apply here, too, even if you don’t see leaving them with the consequences as actively punishing them. But as a kid it’s easy to get in over your head before you learn your own limits, and you’re not born with the knowledge of how to bail yourself out. I think they deserve a grace period.

OP WATCH SCAVENGERS REIGN. Unless you’re sensitive to body horror.

Especially if you’re sensitive to body horror?

Not who you asked, but the main thing holding me back is that I don’t know how to kick off and don’t know how to balance. I’m surprised how many people just kinda know how to do it

Surprised at the amount of upvotes. I thought dads only said that shit in sitcoms.

Can someone explain this to me?

if you have done that thing, upvote it. If you have not done that thing, downvote it.

So if someone says “never have I ever eaten food”, then I, a food eater, upvote it, right?

Me neither. Other millennials look at me like I have two heads.

Hey same! Nothing lower than that either 🙃

c:geo is great! The official app won’t show you caches over a certain difficulty (don’t remember the exact number) unless you’re premium. They’re not actually premium only, you can see them on the website, it’s just a bullshit restriction on the app.

c:geo is a lifesaver for that reason alone, imo.

I really like YouTube Revanced on Android, it’s a patcher that includes an ad blocker as well as a ton of other QOL fixes.

But I understand why more people don’t fuck with it, because if you install it wrong, your app will bug in the weirdest ways. Like my YouTube app kept getting renamed with the content of my last error message.

Can I ask where you heard that? I’ve only seen it described as a hate crime, but then, that’s the obvious conclusion you’d come to without any answers.

All right. I’m still going to specify next time, because the only posts I’ve seen about this descended into arguing about the US education system and whether it’s acceptable not to know this, instead of focusing on how to help people.

Unfortunately the only real answer I’ve seen from Georgians online is that they need pushback from EU members. As someone on the other side of the world, all I really know to do is to send money to my loved ones and hope they can move soon.

Oh, yeah, I probably should have specified. We don’t have a parliament in the US, plus gay marriage is recognized on a federal level, not a state level. It’s not unlike a red state to try to find a loophole— mine sure did— but I don’t think it’d get this far.

My mom’s birthday :> I’m a little sad as I’d hoped to have a surprise party for her, but I had to move unexpectedly and it took most of my savings. But hopefully she’ll enjoy dinner with a couple of her kids.

ETA also downloaded a geography quiz to take in my idle time. I didn’t really get the K-12 education that’s expected in the US, and I’ve always wanted to do better, but I can’t seem to study anything in a way that sticks. But I noticed I’ve gotten pretty good at word games and sudoku lately, so maybe I just need to make it a puzzle.
