Specifically, Nordic Model for prostitution.

You mean every laptop or desktop machine pre-System76?

Erm AKSHUALLY, I was making a reference to the fact that different operating systems run on hardware.

Aaaand this is why my milk costs $10/gallon. Animals need to be treated well.

No. Linux is an operating system. So is Windows. Hardware is hardware. They are not people.

Electric toothbrush is amazeballs.

That’s frustrating, sorry to hear that.

Important question: are you bleeding from the gums when you floss?

Healthy gums can handle normal flossing without bleeding. I floss once a day, before bed. Normal flossing does not involve super hard scrubbing, just enough force to scrape off stuff stuck between the teeth and dislodge stuck particles. You might also want to add some antiseptic mouthwash to your routine after flossing until your gums stop bleeding.

This is happening today. My poor bulbs!

Love how being a woman always gets you an asterisk.

I fucking hate Aptos. It makes my work emails (Outlook) look “quirky” and that is NOT what is needed.

Is it actually too many clothes, is it that you are judging them (given your note about your own wardrobe at the bottom), or a mix of both?

You need to avoid moral judgement. Focus on practicalities - is your partner meeting shared living expenses targets, are they meeting their savings goals; and how the clothes are or are not overrunning the space, resulting in obvious opportunity costs for you or the both of you.

I had the unpleasant experience of being in a group that applied SCRUM to research. Yes, the work involved software implementation, but research is largely antithetical to SCRUM. Yes, you need good research practices but a key aspect is that you don’t know where you will end up. The stand up meetings became 30 minutes twice a week. Arrrg.

And, you know, boil the water. Or bring chlorine tablets or a water filter.

There is a cohort of women (biological) who are very in favor of sex-separated bathrooms. Women are vulnerable to sexual assault when having to take care of bodily functions and have the unique risk of being impregnated from said assault. This article discussed issues with public toilet access and usage for women in India, for example. If a group of women in fact want sex-separated bathrooms, then I think logically that should win out over those who don’t care. Men’s bathrooms should also be safe for gender non conforming people and could in fact be the default bathroom for everyone.

You could thin it out with water too. Soylent comes as a premixed beverage or as a powder if you want it cheaper.

So glowy!

I’m fucked.

I have ended up in a “view all and block” mode rather than a “subscribe to a curated list” mode because of the smaller community. That means I need to block a lot more communities I am not interested in and users that are just… Outside my window of civility or politics that I can handle. Raging tankies, for example.
