Trespasser!

How do you figure?

Single player social media, perfect.

I mean, yeah? I don’t use a wash cloth anymore, I use a different kind of scrubber that dries out quickly, but when I used a wash cloth I just used a different one every day. Marginal impact on my laundry and a pack at Target was cheap. Every day I could wash my face with a clean cloth and then wash the rest of my body.

Incredible. What’s the context for when this was offered as advice?

It’s google that’s gotten worse. It’s harder to find specific or niche information nowadays because Google doesn’t respect search operators and will instead show you the results for more common searches. That might be fine if you’re looking for general information, but it means that looking up specific facts (part numbers, error messages, etc.) they will drown you in SEO-optomized vague garbage results.

I’d also love some alternatives to use for troubleshooting. I just want to find the niche forum posts where people are discussing my specific issue!

Yup. My childhood best friend reached out after learning that I was getting divorced a few years back. He lived out of state but was in town visiting family, so we got dinner. It was good to catch up. I ended up being one of his groomsmen and we still talk/game together, although distance still prevents us from meeting IRL too often.

Yup, you can also do some messing around with linein input on Winamp/Milkdrop to make it work right, but depending on the specific hardware setup it can be a pain. (It worked great from my aux speakers and totally broke when I tried to route the audio output through my TV/HDMI. This is a solvable problem, but annoying.)

I love that! If it’s your first time through, I hope you both enjoy it!

Ayyyyy, are you reading The Shadow Rising soon? I liked it more than the Dragon Reborn.

The Broken Earth Trilogy by NK Jemisin. Fantastic and heartbreaking. It’s kind of a crossover in science fiction and fantasy, set in a world that experiences apocalyptic levels of climate and geological change every few hundred years. Jemisin does excellent world building and a very admirable job of writing parts of the narrative in second person in a way that seems seamless/not gimmicky. Highly recommended.

I didn’t see your response before posting my own, but same, bud. I’m in the process of quitting again and it hasn’t been easy.

Nicotine. 25 days without and I keep dreaming about smoking. I’ve quit for longer before and the cravings never seem to go away.

IDK, I don’t feel like I had to say that much to get in with my alt. I just wrote about how I liked having some more heavily moderated spaces to discuss sensitive topics. I even mentioned that I planned to maintain an alt to access less moderated spaces, just that I also intended to respect the culture and the vibe of Beehaw when interacting there.
