We’re still talking about dancing, right?

Makeup should disappear, and more emphasis should be applied in medically-sound skin care. Your skin should be healthy enough that you don’t need to cover it with paint.

I get that using colors is fun, but makeup as it is today is way beyond reasonable, it’s not only about painting your skin, it’s about insecurity.

Painted hair is cool though.

Shepherds are famous for having lots of free time to write religious fanfiction so future generations bicker about it.

You can do my chores for me if you want, I know it’s little but it’s something.

Doubt. I can twitch my ears, both horizontally and vertically, and the muscles that move them feel much closer than the back/top of the scalp, about two inches from their base.

I’ve been happy with Calibre Web and downloading to the official reader apps, but I’m open to try new things.

What strikes me as odd is why starting a Java software in this day and age. Java in the server is the COBOL of the 2000s, mostly used for legacy software.

The infuriating part for me is “something is breaking Photopeia”, an euphemism for “we break Photopeia if you block ads”.

Accurate. Before talking, monke solved disagreement with personal touch.

You have to, even if you don’t do the four steps out loud.

1. Make an objective observation as it happens (don’t lump it with others in the past)
2. Express how it makes you feel (if appropriate)
3. Express your need (so the feeling can be attributed to it, and not your interlocutor)
4. Make a specific, actionable request that would satisfy your need (which can be denied, it’s not an order)

You can use non-violent communication even if you only do steps 1 and 4 out loud, as long as you understand 2 and 3.

These organisms are doing their best, okay? They’re just too smol.

That’s because people can take a lot before becoming truly desperate. A revolution means risking mass death, and few are willing to sacrifice so others can have a better life.

Excuse me, but even we regular humans can sap solar power from plants… although not directly.

Even Homo sapiens, the overwhelmingly dominant species on this planet, having all the things ready, didn’t do a lot of progress for tens of thousands of years.

A technological civilization looks like a chain reaction that can’t quite start without a initial spark. I think anthropologists are still trying to find out what that spark was.

Religión is the predecessor of politics. Manipulative, self-serving, yet primitive, and surprisingly effective despite its crudeness.

My low cost solution has been adding external mechanical disks. Those go up to several TB for cheap, so I put two and sync them with rsync weekly in case one suddenly fails.

As others have wisely said, keep the fast SSD for your OS, media rarely changes and is usually accessed sequentially, it can live in slower disks.

Pro tip: don’t close the wound after the incident, install a valve, hose, and flamethrower nozzle.

Imagine the awkwardness if it was tinnitus all this time.

I felt this warning in my bones. I am weak.

I find Jellyfin’s subtitle search much better than Plex’s. Bonus for leaving a subtitle file right along with your file, instead of buried somewhere else so you can’t easily edit it.
