  • This is an excellent read. Thanks for sharing.

  • What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?

    Jump

  • Hard disagree on body wash vs soap. Soap always leaves a weird filmy feeling on my skin no matter what brand I use. Plus having to lather up the bar is annoying and I don't want to deal with wet washcloths in the shower. Give me a poof and a bottle of body wash any day.

  • Starbucks accused of manipulating app payments for $900 million profit

    Jump

  • This tracks. I get Starbucks giftcards (as gifts, not for myself) and typically load them into the app so I can order ahead and spend less time waiting at the store. It pisses me off to no end that when I get to the last dollar or two, I can't use it without reloading like $20 onto the app. I refuse to do that and lose the money.

  • US bans pharmacy Rite Aid from facial recognition use

    Jump

  • Good. Now they need to start enforcing bans on corporate facial recognition technology use everywhere.

  • I want to record but I'm in a two party state and I'm afraid that they're either going to refuse or fire me for trying to record the conversation.

  • No, it's not a union job. Corporate.

  • A Place For Autistic Youth To Play And Disabled Adults To Work: “We Rock the Spectrum” gyms are creating spaces for neurodivergent children to be themselves – without having to apologize.

    Jump

  • I would have loved to have something like this when I was a kid. Even as an adult, some of that equipment looks awesome. The only thing it's lacking is something to squish myself between or roll up in tightly.

  • Little gay people in my PC, tell me about your own weird goals

  • Faceless helmet-wearing space being, please and thank you.

  • What can you tell me about Bluesky?

    Jump

  • I wanted to like Mastodon but couldn't. The only reason I used microblogging services like Twitter was to shitpost about Vampire: The Masquerade. Said game includes lots of death, blood, and other topics that make some folks uncomfortable. On Twitter, the atmosphere was very "don't like, don't read", but Mastodon has an intense culture about using content warnings on anything that might make someone marginally uncomfortable. I'm cool with that, but I can't do it on my shitposting or it sort of ruins the joke. Bluesky doesn't have that atmosphere.

  • If it came down to it, I would take an extension to turn the video black, mute it, and click the skip button for me. Better than having to pull my attention away from what I'm doing to click the skip button or else have an ad that legitimately can play for hours on end. Having the pauses would be annoying but less so than the ad.

  • In your opinion, what's the age limit for Trick r Treating?

    Jump

  • The older you are, the more effort I expect. A kid can get away with a cape and a mask. If an older teen comes, I expect full costume, not everyday clothes. Adult? You better be rocking a great cosplay. Not that I'd refuse anyone, but I'll be happiest giving treats to young children or people showing off really amazing effort in the costume department.

  • I don't speak German but I can if you'd like.

  • AI-generated child sexual abuse images could flood the internet. A watchdog is calling for action

    Jump

  • It already is outlawed in the US. The US bans all depictions precisely because of this. The courts anticipated that there would come a time when people could create images which are indistinguishable from reality so allowing any content to be produced wasn't permissible.

  • What's your chosen diet as someone with ADHD/Autism

    Jump

  • I'm pescatarian, mostly vegetarian, and I love to cook but only have the focus to do it a few times a week. My preferred meal plan is to make a giant pot of something once a week, freeze a few servings, and eat the rest. Then I also eat other things I've frozen in the past or have on hand. My favored meals are simple things like an removed and peanut butter, tuna salad, oatmeal, rice with vegetables and scrambled eggs, that kind of stuff. I only eat out once a week and do intermittant fasting as well.

  • Why Vegan Desserts Are the Best They’ve Ever Been

    Jump

  • Over the past five or so years, I've watched the vegetarian frozen food section at my supermarket expand from one little freezer door with some Annies meals and Bocca burgers to five or six sections carrying even generic store-brand vegetarian and vegan meals. I don't often buy prepared food but I like walking by to see what they have. Same with milk options - it went from a shelf with either soy or almond to a full section of different nut milks and flavors.

    Some of the wildest changes to me have been at festivals and events. It used to be that you got french fries or onion rings or popcorn and that was about it. Then they started making efforts, as misguided as they could be, like just slapping steamed veggies on a sub roll and calling it done, or serving pasta and plain tomato sauce. Now I go to festivals and there's usually at least one really good vegetarian option at every stand, if not an entire stand serving just vegan and vegetarian options. I look forward to seeing what unique choices there will be rather than trying to eat ahead of time so I don't have to worry about it.
