Gamer since Pong, I enjoy video games as a modern form of mythology/storytelling. I've blogged about Final Fantasy on LJ, DW, Tumblr, and my own site since '06.
@Uber_Support - My nice driver has my lost phone, but the #Uber app won't let me contact him about retrieving my lost phone EXCEPT by calling him from my lost phone. Can you help, or shall I continue writing up a humorous viral post about it?
@thecybersurg Tip: if you need to haul all the plants as well as that much potting soil and ensure they're not crushed by the low truck bed, my 20 year old Prius does the same job, and I assume the newer plugin & EV versions can too
@inkblue01 when covid finally got me last year despite vax & precautions, it activated the worst herpes flareup ever IN MY EYE plus it ramped up rheumatoid arthritis autoimmune response so much it almost ate my cornea trying to kill herpes. COVID
turns nuisance conditions into MONSTERS.
The internet is always an education. I've been on it since Bitnet and just had to look up Heat Suppressants. So you're saying we should be calling him not Ron DeSantis but Ron DeSupressantis? #omegaverse
Ahaha meanwhile @tumblr staff are apologizing for a bug that accidentally turned people's rainbow checkmarks blue and reactivated them if they'd been switched off. (They've been a bit of a PvP gag gift making fun of Elno.)
@Stace_Alexander I have sent this to a few friends and family members who were thinking about abandoning solidarity and risking their and their communities' health. It has actually changed a couple of minds. Mind, these were people still on the fence. https://t.co/KmnYOfENPe
@Mahimarina @FourWinns298 The point being you can have a manageable disability or chronic illness that never gave you any trouble, then you get Covid which aggravates it and turns it into something far more dangerous, even lethal, and people write off your death because you had a pre-existing condition.
@Mahimarina @FourWinns298 Now I have to take immunosuppressants leaving me vulnerable to cancer. The couple in the next sleeper cabin who coughed & sneezed for 3 days from LA to Chicago probably thinks covid is mild. (Took train to avoid exposure; didn't spot sliding door with gap in wall until too late).
@Mahimarina @FourWinns298 I'm so pissed about people dismissing disabled dying of Covid. I was born with rheumtoid arthritis: a minor nuisance for 51 years. After 3 years in isolation with latest vax, weng on first trip, got covid, and it made autoimmune disease go nuts, attacking eye, blind 3 months.
@pokegenieinfo Never mind. I finally figured it out. Apparently all my devices simultaneously decided to have some "me" time and activated Do Not Disturb without informing me. 😅
@pokegenieinfo Has something happened to iVision today? No longer working on ipad or iphone; was working before event, and I haven't changed notification settings. (I just checked "allow" was still on, restarted both devices, made sure apps were current, restarted apps.)
@audendum Aha, so THAT'S why i binged air crash investigation shows during lockdown. It seemed awfully morbid. But they almost always figure out what caused the crash, and then the NTSB & FAA issue recommendations and/or directives so it can't happen again.
