  • “Back in myyyy day…”

  • You’re most likely right. Though, she is holding twins in the picture I think. Depending on genetics, it’s possible that a few of the other siblings are also twins. But that’s still a hell of a lot of pregnancies, and twin pregnancies are generally harder and riskier than singles, so… yeah that’s not really any consolation.

  • Why Becoming a Parent is Like Having a Crap Character Join Your RPG Party in a Video Game [TwistedDoodles]

    Jump

  • I’m feeling this today. We have a tight-knit school community and I just had to alert another parent that her kid was saying some really uncool things in a group chat that my kid is in. Felt like a narc. But I know she’d want to know. This after my own kid had a hell of a group chat problem earlier this year by using racial slurs and aggressive swearing toward someone he was mad at. Thankfully I happened to see it right away and addressed it, messaged the other parents to apologize, etc. but it was baaaad. Now I wonder if my kid just deletes messages; did he really learn his lesson or not? Sigh.

  • I think these cloud companies have been pretty successful convincing people that at-home storage is more at-risk than the cloud because you could always have a house fire or something, or your hard drive could fail, or whatever. But it seems the pendulum is now swinging the other way as people get wise to the inherent dangers of only keeping things on the cloud, and trusting a company with your data no less.

  • Did you attend your high school reunion? Why or Why not?

    Jump

  • I’m so relieved to find a ton of other “no’s” in this thread!

    I always felt like I was being a bit antisocial not to go to one. I’ve never been to a college reunion either. I’ve kept in close touch with only one person from high school and a handful from college. Add to that: 1) I don’t feel like I have much to brag about; 2) I would feel icky bragging even if I did. And that’s what I imagine reunions to be, if you haven’t kept in touch generally: just a bunch of near-strangers posturing to each other to feel better about themselves. I just don’t have any interest in that. It’s much the same reason I got off of social media about 10 years ago (minus the link aggregators/forums).

  • I lived through those brownouts but I was a teen and didn’t understand what was going on, just that it was annoying. We had just moved into a house in a very hot part of town where the wind goes to die and it suuuuucked.

  • What is the most useless thing you’ve had confiscated by airport security while traveling?

    Jump

  • Maybe that’s why I get away with mine so easily; I always knit on circulars, even when knitting flat, so the needles themselves are pretty short.

  • What is the most useless thing you’ve had confiscated by airport security while traveling?

    Jump

  • Dude I take my knitting needles on board all the damn time with no issue. I guarantee I can fuck you up more drastically with my slender nickel-plated metal needles than your little collar stiffeners. That’s messed up.

  • What TV shows are absolutely worth watching?

    Jump

  • I watched the show and then within the last year listened to the audiobooks. In book 4? I think? Amos is talking to Peaches about how humans are tribal, and their tribes expand when times are good but shrink when times are bad. And yeah, it was kind of a mind-blown moment for me because I’d never thought of it that way before.

  • Meta Exec Admits Zuckerberg Has Crushed Workers’ Spirits

    Jump

  • I bet there are at least some working there who have their heads in the sand about how bad a company it is and just want to believe they’re good people doing good work. I don’t think many people want to admit to themselves that they’re just doing something for money. But yeah… the proverbial rock they live under must be mountain-sized.

  • Is 35°C too warm to lay on a lap? Nope.

  • Our superfloof pretty much never sits on anyone’s laps. We assume she’s hot all the time, but who knows?

  • Can’t speak for the hillbillies but Lucy stands up, for the most part. She was a real one. It is funny seeing hers and Ricky’s separated twin beds for filming, though.

  • Because, as a comic artist, it affects him directly. Can’t actually have empathy or anything, that’s too woke (I assume).

  • Have you ever had a time a food so good it "converted" you?

  • My husband once joked that I like to drink my bread. It is so hard to find a good Hefe where I am. I’m tired of the IPA trend.

  • Cars are like horses: people will soon realise EVs are just better, claims VW boss

    Jump

  • Yes! About a year ago we went up a very curvy hill with the kids that has, in the past, always made everyone feel queasy, even the driver to some extent. But this year, it didn’t at all. I think it was because we were driving an EV, and without all of the hurky-jerky of the nonexistent transmission, it was way smoother.

  • The other commenter is totally right about it being “like riding a bike.” My kids started riding and I had a bike but hadn’t ridden in like 15 years probably, so I was a little apprehensive about trying it again. It was no problem at all.

  • I can’t say I’m overly well informed about how politicians differ, but I think much of the rest of the country sees California as the evil west coast elites, and nothing will change their minds. Especially not Newsom.
