I am not one to force monogamy on people, though I personally am not interested in being with anyone but my partner. That being said, I think it’s wrong for anyone to violate a partner’s trust. I find it messed up that your high school peer bragged about betraying someone who she claimed to care about (at the time). In a nutshell, it seems like it would be good for society if we got over our puritanical zeal for enforcing monogamy, since some people clearly are wired to need multiple physical partners while still wanting to emotionally connect to one person. But I personally would continue to only be with my chosen partner.

Pretty much every update screws up my config these days, but it’s good because it means they’re actually working on improving the interface

Yeah, I couldn’t get through it. Even as an audiobook read by Wil Wheaton

IIRC it has it. Not if you’re behind VPN or a tunnel. Only over HTTPS.

As an American, it used to be fossil fuels. I’d go elsewhere and it’d be 3x the price. But lately we seem to be catching up. One thing where we’re still likely cheaper are high-end electronics. At least, it looks like the iPhone is still cheaper in the US than almost anywhere else. I remember living abroad a few years ago, colleagues would ask if I could buy an iPhone or Mac on Christmas break and bring it back to them lol

That’s also what he said he would do and the most convincing reason people flipped from Biden to vote for him

Being unthinking is one thing. But the degree that they actively avoid thinking is remarkable to me.

I saw them going for $10 yesterday in CA. People have reported them going as high as $18. Chicken is also quite expensive and in short supply due to the bird flu disruptions

Ah yes, I don’t think they offer iOS

Thunderbird does have a Mac client I thought?

Environmental Scientist. As my username suggests, my passion is studying bivalves. My day job involves studying nutrient cycling in San Francisco Bay (where clams come up quite a bit)! Through my work, I have also grown fascinated by phytoplankton

I finally set up Joplin server. It is a revelation after too long using Syncthing to sync databases. I wasn’t able to use Joplin on Android anymore- the sync to file system had gotten too slow. Now everything syncs pretty much instantly!

People can follow and comment to my WordPress from the fediverse. My posts are long enough that they don’t really look right on Mastodon (and images all show up as attachments rather than inline), but nice for shorter format blogs

The perplexing thing is that unlike Thunderbird, I have never seen them ask for donations

It is depressing, but I try not to forget we are seeing a sort of survivorship bias of stupidity on the former Twitter at this point. The cohort of remaining posting accounts is dumber and dumber on average. And this dynamic is magnified in the replies, because they are paid blue accounts at the top. Eg, self-selected losers. (The top account has likely just hidden their checkmark)

Edit: PS, are you still using Nitter? I thought it had died?

I think it does matter. It is a useful benchmark of the power of their reality distortion field

AP trying to cover themselves. Their lawyers probably advised them to do it. But it makes for a surreal headline. Next we’re going to be wondering why he grew a small mustache!

Here’s an article from when Biden set up his new site. No mass 404 issues, and when a URL did 404 they linked to the archive of the prior admin’s site. Biden transition ensured continuity from the prior admin, which is impressive since Trump White House was complete radio silence. https://wptavern.com/biden-white-house-sticks-with-wordpress-for-website-relaunch

I’m not urologist, and I don’t really want to do a deep dive about it so I don’t get ads about it. But it sounds like some sort of insert replacing the internal erectile tissue so they can still have sensations

Yeah, maybe they misidentified and decided to stick with it
