@lagging_daze Yeah, that's how I feel about it too. I'm hoping that things will make more sense as Twitter / X expands and offers more services. But still... "X" is a stupid name. It's not even a name. Just a letter.
Shadow is very un-graceful for a cat. If there was a sign that read "Days since she fell over or fell off of something", that sign would say "zero" most of the time.
@GTWScar Or, as my husband says (I'm paraphrasing): Don't waste too much energy worrying about things you don't plan to take any action on. Instead, focus on actionable problems and prepare for / solve those.
@GTWScar For me, it helps to put my efforts into things I *can* control, and make the world a better place in ways that are meaningful to *me*. Grieving is a process that can take years, with surprising emotional pivots along the way.
@docm77 Of all of your videos YouTube could have recommended to me this morning, it recommended your German submarine tour (which I've watched already, but YouTube doesn't know about that anymore).
Aww. Our cat Chip doesn't like the fire in the fireplace. Occasionally he cries out as if he'd just woken up to find himself alone in a forgotten corner of the house. (It's unusually cold outside today. Brrrr! βοΈ)
@elonmusk@bariweiss@thehonestlypod@RoKhanna Elon, you might find some unlikely allies in anybody who has watched the "Harry & Meghan" documentary on Netflix (#1 in the US today). They talk about the relentless / creepy paparazzi in every episode, and discuss the need to protect children.
@elonmusk@StationCDRKelly I'm trying to understand your position / context on "forcing pronouns". If pronouns are listed in somebody's profile, they serve the same purpose as the person's name: facilitating communication. Nobody would say "Why are you forcing your name on me? I didn't ask for it!"
@lagging_daze It's a bit weird that people are criticizing both the rapid / shocking pace at which Musk is making changes AND complaining that he hasn't achieved his goals yet. It hasn't even been 7 weeks yet! Big software products usually take a lot longer to change in meaningful ways.
@lagging_daze I don't agree with everything Musk says / does, but overall I'm hopeful that Twitter's feeds will contain more diverse points of view in the long run - especially about controversial topics. Not just sanitized corporate / urban / elite opinions. Voices from all walks of life.
Whenever the cat feeder is out of kibble, Chip starts the process of breaking into a dogfood bag. Chip is a cat of action! (I wish he'd complain verbally instead, though.)
What an epic game! I fully upgraded the world's ugliest truck, took it on a joy ride, and accidentally flew it to the top of the Flairship! Then, I drove over one of the Flairship's propellers (?) and the truck lifted off in a high arc! LOL! And perfect radio station! #Fortnite
Calcite currently isn't renewable in Minecraft. What if 4 buckets of milk could be turned into 1 block of Calcite (and you get empty buckets back)?
Milk is white and contains Calcium. This would make milk more useful in-game. Milking could have a cooldown.
@Ferniferous@GTWScar I'm in a similar boat. So used to the smoke at this point that I got complacent about checking for new fires. Looks like smoke might be coming from Loch Katrine Fire now. Let's hope the rain comes as promised on Friday. We need it! π²π₯π§οΈ
