My experience has been similar to OPs so I’m not sure it’s that dated? My first brother-in-law (now divorced, lol wonder why) would literally say he was “babysitting” anytime he was solo with his own kids.

The hetero stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason. I think it’s great that families are way more diverse in how they divide roles now than they used to be, but to pretend like these older stereotypes don’t legitimately exist is just disingenuous isn’t it?

Not a big deal as long as that’s communicated to customers ahead of time. Really frustrating when it isn’t.

Apple/macOS is my main ‘home’ for work, creation, and general use. At work, I also deal with Linux a decent amount running a few k8s clusters. At home, I use a Windows gaming machine but literally only use it for gaming.

I think in this context they’re only talking about apps that are no longer maintained. So it is the OG reddit replacement that isn’t being maintained. But yeah, kind of weird wording all throughout.

Never got banned but have been on threadiverse since the Apollo killing a few years ago. That was plenty for me to leave that site.

idk, I use a gaming PC for that stuff.

The Mac’s are for work and creation.

I have a 2019 MacBook Pro and stopped updating it at Sonoma. The new OSes are just too much for that Intel chip anyway.

The M-series processors are amazing though, I’ve had such a good experience with them.

When I see Refused I immediately think of their song ‘New Noise’

For Incendiary, I think of ‘Front Toward Enemy’

I think both of those are probably their most popular songs? Probably for a reason, I’d start there!

I’m still in that 2nd half, so keep posting everyone!

Life is suffering

I’m curious about your preference for spaghetti with alfredo sauce. Why not fettuccine?

“Right to die” is a medically assisted death that is available in certain places around the world. If you can’t make peace any other way, moving to a place where this is an option may be the most helpful thing for you.

The problem is that cats can’t evaluate risk the way humans can. A cat may choose to go outside, just as it may choose to run across a road, approach a coyote, eat something toxic, or wander onto someone else’s property. We don’t usually treat an animal’s immediate preference as the final authority on what’s best for it.

A cat wanting to go outside isn’t evidence that unrestricted outdoor access is in its best interest any more than a dog wanting to chase traffic is evidence that traffic is safe.

Now that you mention it, I’ve never wanted anything more in my life 🤤

Don’t split the pole around me.

Agreed with this. I love cats and want them to live long, safe, and happy lives inside.

Honestly your cat may have backed the fox down a little bit. If the cat runs, the fox immediately goes into hunt mode and the cat is prey. If the cat stands its ground, the fox might have been debating whether this was worth it or not.

Kind of Americana/nostalgia but The Andy Griffith Show really does this well. In fact, I feel like a lot of the older shows from the 60s did this.

Crack a book open. If you want to get real wild, take out a notebook and pen and write some stuff down!

I read the first trilogy of the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown recently and couldn’t put it down. I didn’t expect to like it that much but, that story really got me.
