Afaik, unless you have eye surgery, floaters are stuck in your eye forever, it's just that many eventually sink out of your field of vision. If you have large new floaters, especially if there are multiple new ones that appear suddenly, I'd recommend seeing an eye doctor - it's how I found out I'd torn my retina, which was at risk of detaching and possibly making me partially blind.

Locals don't want to work for what you want to pay them.

Again, people don't "steal" other people, they steal things.

I'm not interested in anyone, unless they're speaking out against the regime now. She's not, so she can just step back.

Just gonna point out that you don't "steal" people, you steal things. Which tells you all you need to know about trump.

You're welcome :) And for people who want to support local independent bookstores, I'll drop in a plug for bookshop.org .

AI data centers are also gobbling down massive amounts of electricity, stressing the grid, giving consumers higher bills for worse service. All for something that pretty much everyone hates.

15% tariffs (which seem to be what he's settling on) mean prices will increase about 15% over the next year (some companies will eat some of the tariffs, some will use them as an excuse to price-gouge). And absolutely no one is getting a 15% raise except the bosses.

 

Sorry if I'm in the wrong place. Is there a setting where I can turn off people's ability to PM me? The spamgirl is annoying me, and I'm sure more will follow in her wake.

On other sites with spam issues, I'd turn off the ability for people to PM me and, if they asked on a thread I was on, I'd either re-enable PMs or add them to an approved users list. I thought I'd seen that ability here (I'm on the plain web version of fedia.io), but may well have been confusing it with some other site.

Thank you!

Unsilent Night is happening 6pm Sunday; meet at the Guardhouse at Rittenhouse Square. The music you hear changes on how many people are playing which tracks, where you are in the crowd, and how the environment you're moving through reflects or deadens the sound. It's pretty cool - join us for a (cold) stroll on Sunday evening!

 
 

There are five games to play, including a strike-themed take on Wordle.
