Feeling nostalgic and drank a bottle of chocolate milk on my lunch break. Discovered I was lactose intolerant after I clocked back in. I was the only one covering the deli counter.

I failed at moderating a server with three of my closest friends. I'm not running a server for the entire town.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you.

Just because you're aro or aroace doesn't mean you don't understand heartache and loss. When we empathize with fictional characters, is it because we've been through exactly what they've been through? Doubtful, because then fantasy wouldn't exist. But we've had similar emotions, so it resonates.

I don't really see why songs would be any different.

My iconic recipe: All My Favorite Shit, Shoved In A Pot Together

Dice up a white onion, sautee in butter until lightly brown. Drain one can each of black beans, diced tomatoes, and corn. Cook til whenever. Salt, red pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Sometimes I save some black bean juice, mix it with corn starch to thicken it up, and stir it back in, and eat the whole thing over brown rice.

Alternatively: ice cream. Butter pecan in a waffle cone.

My mother's policy was that the first time we do something wrong, talk with us, help us learn why it was wrong and how we should have acted. If we do it again even with that knowledge, punish us.

I feel like that would apply here, too, even if you don't see leaving them with the consequences as actively punishing them. But as a kid it's easy to get in over your head before you learn your own limits, and you're not born with the knowledge of how to bail yourself out. I think they deserve a grace period.

OP WATCH SCAVENGERS REIGN. Unless you're sensitive to body horror.

Especially if you're sensitive to body horror?

Lil bit of a bummer, feels like I just exercise, work, and sleep. My limited free time has been spent on my family, which.... ughhhh by the time I realized they mistreated me all my life and I hate them, they'd lost power over me, so basically they're not pushing me around anymore and think we're all friends, and I don't know how to tell them that I'm retroactively spiteful. So I play nice.

Gonna try so hard to get some reading and drawing done in the coming days.

Can someone explain this to me?

if you have done that thing, upvote it. If you have not done that thing, downvote it.

So if someone says "never have I ever eaten food", then I, a food eater, upvote it, right?

Me neither. Other millennials look at me like I have two heads.

‘Family values’ bill is adopted despite being denounced by the president, rights groups and the European Union.

Kesaria Abramidze, a trans model, was murdered the day after the bill passed. Even if the president vetos it, this law already has a body count.

So basically I was unschooled, and the amount of books I've read in my life is embarrassingly low. It was never emforced like in a school, and with my family's religious hangups, I never tried getting into new things because I never knew what would be deemed "offensive".

But I'm always interested when I hear people talk about both storycraft and also literary criticism, so I want to take an earnest stab at getting into books.

No real criteria, I don't know what I like so I can't tell you what I'm looking for, other than it needs to be in English or have an English translation. Just wanna know what y'all think would make good or important reading.

ETA holy shit thanks for all the suggestions! Definitely gonna make a list

ETA if I reply extremely late it's because it took me this long to get a library card in my new locale.

It seems like I'm always hearing about family vloggers getting put away for child abuse. I'm not into family vlogging, so maybe I'm wrong, but people always make it sound like these two channels were popular.

But then they go on to describe their videos, and it's always parents doing insane shit to make the kids cry on purpose, or announcing on camera that they're withholding necessities from the kids or something. I've never heard anyone say they like these videos, and I can't imagine why they would, so then how were they supposedly popular?

Torrenting this show isn't an option. Every torrent I've tried has this specific episode missing, with a duplicate episode in its place. Most of the streaming sites do, too. The only stream I've found is on vidsrc.me, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to download it.

I've searched around and found multiple recommendations for video downloader sites, and several people suggested the Firefox extension DownThemAll!, but I've had no luck. It's a generic "can't find video" message every time.

I'm guessing these apps and sites worked at some point but they updated their API. Hoping against hope that someone who's done it recently can tell me how they did it.
