Porno for Pyros, is that you?

No problem! My mutual aid budget is reserved for helping a trans friend move out of Tennessee right now, but please let me know if you have an emergency expense come up and I might be able to help

Hi! I just read this, and man that is such a frustrating situation to be in. I dealt with severe food aversion when I was in high school, and ended up getting a diagnosis of gastroparesis. Similar to you, there was a day where I just suddenly got “better”, although I never recovered to the point of having a normal appetite for a person my size. I never reached the point where the smell of food triggered a gag reflex, but I’m definitely familiar with how personally we take our relationships with food and how that must be affecting you and your family. I’ve been in situations where I desperately wanted to eat something in order to make someone’s effort feel appreciated, but haven’t been able to because of my body. When I read about you not being able to get a meatball sub for your daughter, it brought up feelings I hadn’t thought about in over a decade.

Do you know of any mutual aid groups that could help you with transportation or lodging or financial aid in Rochester, if you ever have to go back? It may be worth looking for other ways to access care

WHO’S A GOOD BOY!?

I feel like rhyming slang is something the British made up to prank the rest of the world

Same here! I’ve helped exactly zero customers all day today and that’s exactly how I like it

It’s starting to rain in Los Angeles :0

By the way, what general part of the world are y’all from?

Awww, that sounds sweet. Tell us how it goes!

I agreed to work an extra shift today, and the event we’re hosting parking for is a Scientology event. I swear, one of them hissed at me as I rode my bike past them

I kinda agree, and posting a new top-level comment when I was the last top-level comment from two days ago kinda amplifies the void

My sister can be so cool and so thoughtful some times, and so childish and so controlling and so passive aggressive at other times. It can be very frustrating at times to live with her, but I also know that she’s probably a better roommate than I might get otherwise, and that it can probably be frustrating to live with me at times too.

She hasn’t always been like this, she had a stroke a few years ago and either the stroke itself or the experience of having the stroke had a pretty big effect on her personality. She also spends all day scrolling reddit, and I think she’s kinda been taken in by their “every conversation is a competition with a winner and a loser” mindset (and I think that because I realize reddit trained me to think in the same way and I’m trying hard to de-brainwash myself).

Sorry for the vaguepost, I just kinda needed to get my thoughts straight and vent a little bit. How are y’all doing tonight? Anyone got anything cool planned for the weekend?

It has been so far! We’re probably going to watch Foundation tonight, have you seen it?

Good afternoon y’all! It’s been a beautiful day for me so far. I’m having to work a little bit harder than I expected at my job, but my job is easy even on the worst of days so I’m not too upset about it. Thankfully, my sister is home to help out with my dog! She gave him a bath then walked him out to see me at work as a surprise.

I put in a PTO request for a vacation last night, and it’s my first time ever doing something like that. Tbh I thought I would never get that privilege, I’m very lucky to have stumbled into the job I have now

Then for you, it’s not just about security and privacy, I guess

That’s not the only way ads are shown to you, though. For example, some youtube content creators like Internet Comment Etiquette will include ads from their major sponsors as part of the video itself. When that happens, you trust the security and privacy of the website enough to serve you content during the non-advertising parts of it, so what changes now that the content is an ad?

As a thought experiment, imagine if you were able to ascertain with 100% accuracy that an ad was not a security or privacy violation. Would you whitelist that ad server? For example, if viewing ads on your PC had as little potential for harm as viewing ads in the newspaper did, would you still block them?

Why isn’t it?

That’s gotta be Antwaun Stanley for me. His work with Vulfpeck and Cory Wong are just phenomenal
