And, of course, the girl lies about mushrooms because reasons and they have to break into her house to solve the case.

I normally avoid clicking on links and instead form my opinions based entirely on the comments, but in this case I went ahead and clicked. This article really spoke to me. I feel like this author truly gets me. What a joy to read. 10/10.

So this only counts for actual news, right? The q fake news still gets to be there, right? That’s a lot to think about.

This will definitely not make me use TikTok. I can only imagine what kind of garbage people will post on text form. I’m obviously not the target demographic for that platform but I cannot comprehend what people enjoy about it. I had some old coworkers who used to send me tiktoks daily and they were annoying, insane, made no sense. Now put that in text format.

People are already dying and states like Texas are walking back regulations. They do not care.

Yeah those are definitely from that time period where games were starting to get more modern but are still very dated by today’s standards.

The only single player ones I’ve ever played have been 1 and 7. 1 was…old. The mechanics and everything remind me of Dragon Warrior but I kind of honestly just prefer Dragon Warrior (although I guess that one is also nostalgic because I remember watching my dad play it as a kid).

7 is much more modern but still pretty old at this point. It has a good story and interesting characters. It’s been a while and I don’t remember what the actual gameplay was like but I don’t remember it being turn based.

I’ve also watched my BF play quite a bit of Final Fantasy Tactics and that’s just what it sounds like, a very tactical turn based game. Not for me but some people really like that style of game so that’s something to look into if it appeals to what you’re looking for.

I also played a little bit of Final Fantasy 14 online and it was fun, although not the styles of MMO I personally prefer. But again it’s all personal preference and if you like MMOs you should look it up because you might want to consider that instead of one of the single player games.

Africa is, like, huge. So saying Russia is small because it fits within Africa doesn’t make it sound small to me.

Well, each major insurer that leaves makes the state more undesirable for everyone that’s left. Each one of these insurers had their share of the “bad” business and now the ones who are left have to sift through the applicants to try to figure out who is safe to insure and who is going to cost them their ability to continue doing business. So with every insurer that leaves, those undesirable risks who pushed them out end up more and more concentrated with the other carriers. I would expect to see more and more of this.

Anybody voting for GOP should really consider whether they want to live in FL because if they have their way the entire country will be exactly like FL. “Oh but MY representatives will only do the things that are good.” No, they won’t. That isn’t how they operate.

Typically when an insurer exits a state they either nonrenew the policies, meaning that you have coverage until the end of the policy period, or they stop writing new business but keep their renewals. Neither one of those constitutes taking the money and running. It’s so weird that people would see it that way.

Seriously though? They bought Bethesda and look what they’re doing there. Now they get to add another massive developer as if they weren’t already ridiculously huge? This monopoly stuff has to end. I don’t just mean gaming either. Like 5 companies control our entire food supply. There can only be one internet provider in any area. It’s insane.

It’s only really useful for aggregation of PSAs (in my opinion) and I don’t need to be on one of those sites since if it’s important enough someone will repost the tweet to a platform I use, or it will get reposted in a “news” article. In other news though, I also find it horribly annoying when I click on a news article to discover that it’s just screenshots of a bunch of tweets.

Thank you for the link. That makes me feel better.

I think I may be confused. I thought threads did federate. Was I mistaken?

Has there been a discussion about Beehaw defederating from Threads and if so could someone direct me there please? I desperately do not want to interact with Meta products, even accidentally. I read what the mastodon guy wrote about how in his opinion they can’t track you if you’re on another instance but that doesn’t jive with with the information meta has put out. It makes me really uncomfortable. I’ve heard enough horror stories about them (up to and including facilitating literal genocide…or ethnic killing if you’re trying to put a “positive” spin on it) and I want my social media to be free of that company.

Idk if this counts as a luxury or not but sometimes spending extra to get some fresh fruits or vegetables that are locally grown is so worth it.

As for the bed, amen. Hip problems run in my family and I replaced my old worn out bed with a hybrid bed and my hip pain became so much more manageable within 2 weeks.
