There's a particular company I will not name who keeps advertising their fancy new knee/hip exoskeleton braces at me, and I REALLY want one but I seriously doubt they've tested them for people of my size. Its $$$, but its JUST in range if I really wanted to save for it.
Yes! And there's the daily game of wondering if this new weird pain is temporary or if you need to actually do something about it and if so is there even anything that CAN be done about it.
The human body really is a "handed in at 4:59pm on a Friday" piece of design work, huh.
I NEED to be able to get up/move around. My joints just can't handle being in one position for too long. It hurts horribly, but also the joints literally do just give up and refuse to work. My dogs want to pile on top of me on the couch and get really irritable when I have to constantly move them.
The CIIIIIIRRRCLE of LIIIIIIIFE!
I just need all the streaming services to know, I'll cancel every single one of you before I start cutting into my patreon/kofi/etc. small artist budget.
Part of it might be the testosterone. Not becoming a black hole is increasingly difficult.
One of the perks of being an adult is that if I wake up hungry in the morning I am allowed to eat anything I want to fix that.
Eggs? Bacon? Nope, try chicken salad. I know this isn't a revelation to some people, but something about eating a mayo and pickle based "salad" for breakfast feels feral.
Yeah Portia is much the same. Iirc there is a way to shift the camera, but it's still a bit disorienting in certain areas (like mining)
A win for privacy & a good call. This bill invites privacy invasion & for the legal system to enforce whatever moral judgements on media that are politically convenient. We've seen states define LGBTQ+ media as indecent, gatekeeping lifesaving resources like suicide prevention from queers kids.
What about it don't you like? I can help you know if Portia is worth your time bc I've played both (I prefer Portia)
Well I'm sorry for your loss. Grieve how you need to.
We went last year and yeah the crowds ensured that it was probably a one time thing. It's gorgeous, but there are plenty of other places to see the pretty trees.
That’s what terrorists do, isn’t it?
Are these studies performed by men between the ages of 25 and 35 who haven't achieved their goals?
Logged into Facebook randomly & saw that it was an old coworker's bday. We were pretty tight, but then I left the company and moved and life went on. Apparently he had been dead for 2 years at that point and I had no idea. I struggled for a while with feeling like I had no right to the grief I felt.
Gorgeous Saturday in Seattle
"The information warfare around the conflict in Iran is just one instance in which administration officials appear increasingly worried that a growing number of anti-American narratives are taking root worldwide..."
All a narrative. Nothing to do with the US randomly attacking other countries.
That sounds right up my alley, thank you!
I'm home from my trip and ready to relax. @hon1nbo.hackingand.coffee has plans, so I've found a new casual life sim game (Bear & Breakfast) and taken an edible. Let's goooooooo
Hot, mean, lesbian noble + a blackmailing French courtesan sounds like a killer time, tbh
Ummm, sold! Not typically a romance reader (no shade, just not my thing), but this sounds hot!
so claude code's entire safety system for "dangerous" cyber security work is just...a text prompt

Yeah, there's a cybersecurity nightmare (for AI and many other reasons) bearing down on our heads, and it's already happening. @mattjay.com does a great job explaining it in a really accessible way on IG, so if you're interested check him out

That's funny bc I'm literally a professional hacker. AI is a privacy and security nightmare and it hallucinates so often it can't be trusted.

Is it sad that part of the reason I want to fly back from this gig early is that I miss eating my own food? No kitchen in this hotel, and I'm desperately craving some proper pico de gallo and tacos the way I make them. This isn't a humble brag, it's a desperate cry for help!
Yep. Its just bad logic. I'm not even a lawyer and I can see that.
