When he said he has to charge it every 6-8 hours or so.... what-the-hell

I'm sure that'll be fine if they ever manage to restore motion in the limbs.

Controversial but I honestly really like BlueSky so far. It has its issues, and maybe I'm naively hopeful, but I feel like it's set up to be better than its predecessors. No harm in giving it a go, and it's easy to jump ship if it ends up going down the shitpipe like the other platforms did.

It's not just that they're horribly, unnecessarily bright--but the drivers never adjust their angle because it's not common knowledge that you're supposed to do that when you get a car. It's right there in the manual. LED headlights even have an attempted safety measure where they have a hard line stop instead of a gradual drop-off, to avoid blinding people--so when they're correctly angled they're... Okay, I guess. Not great, but better. So when it feels like they're beaming directly into your eyeballs, that's because they are.

That, and idiots putting LED headlights into their old cars without switching the housing, which essentially eliminates the safety measures and turns them into million lumen lasers.

Oat is where it's at, personally and environmentally. But holy shit I'm gonna be thinking about "hentai martini" for a while.

Pepper spray for sure, and the gel kind specifically. Basically error-proof, and you don't introduce a lethal weapon to a bad situation. I got fucked with a little less when I openly carried some.

Was hoping someone would say this. Laika makes me so fucking sad, man.

CW For the expected stuff, given the subject matter.

spoilerA boy I rejected in middle school promptly attempted to choke me to death in front of everyone. In high school, a guy threatened to off himself if I didn't date him. A close male friend once body-blocked me into his bedroom and wouldn't let me leave until I started crying, when I didn't give him the answers he wanted.

So yeah. People do worry, it does happen, and it's quite common. At least one in five women is a victim.

If I have anything more than this on my desktop I get itchy.

"Good results" meaning relevant results? DDG has tools that help fine-tune your search, and if you use them, you'll probably have a better time. I'd suggest giving it another chance.

When it comes to location based services, certain integrations, and review systems, though, unfortunately I'd say Google is still the default, so there's no shame in using it for that sort of thing—just choose your engine based on what you're looking for. Firefox makes it easy.

I've been using PizzaBoy for a while and really like it, haven't had any issues. It lets you adjust the UI and display to your liking, too.

Have you considered a GBA emulator? Hard to recommend anything without any details on what you like. I also like Card Thief and Mini Metro, so you could try those ig.
