Come on, guys! We can’t meet the Vulcans and join the federation if our craft keep exploding. Jk, but seriously. Onward and upward into space. Not downward. https://mastodon.social/@br00t4c/114119911951283704

If I can hear you snoring one floor up, you have a problem. Time to throw on something to distract me from whoever that is snoring down there.

V.I friends: If you needed to convert a .brf file to txt, how would you do it? I have a number of .brf files that I can only read on my braille display atm.

So, I was researching female condoms the other day after an ad popped up on Fb. And, did you know there is only one female condom that is FDA approved in the US? And you need a prescription for it? No wonder why I never hear of people using these.

@quanin @FreakyFwoof you can force your PC browser to show the mobile site by adding "force∓mobile=1 but that doesn't let you see messages. If you click the Messages button, you are invited to get the previously discussed inaccessible app.

I dreamed of broken iPhone and iPad screens. What a weird thing for my brain to fixate on in the dream world.

@startrek2025 I think they'd call that pica, friend. Lol.

Am I the only one who skips episodes or scenes of a show where a character dies? Like, I’ll watch the episode at least once. But like, I don’t want to see Kira kill Jennifer Sisco again in DS9. I always skip the episodes in Grey’s where Lexi and Mark die. In TNG, I always skip Skin of Evil, because I don’t want to see Tasha die. Yesterday’s Enterprise is hit or miss. In HBP, I skip the chapter where Dumbledore dies… You get the point. Does anyone else do this?

J.j showed a few of us this bossa cover of an 80's hit, and I am so here for it.

I'm trying something new, because brother from another mother Onj has inspired me. During the hours of noon and 5 PM, local time wherever I happen to be, I will not post about, or discuss, any politics (or religion). Yes, this goes for UK, Canadian, and Australian politics as well. But, now, we are past 5 mountain time. So anything's free game. If the no politics 5-hour-a-day challenge appeals to you, why not try it? If more of us did this, our feeds would be less of a doom scroll. PS: The original challenge was only politics. I'm just adding in religion because of the peer support work I do in the name of assisting fellow religious trauma survivors. @FreakyFwoof

Oh come on. Walmart still thinks I'm a fraudster and won't let me place an order using my old high school gmail. I know I haven't used this account in a while, but force resetting my password because you can't actually be bothered to verify me is stupid. So done with this mess.

So the latest in the Walmart saga: I called them and said, hey, my order keeps auto-canceling. And they were like, oh, the last rep tried to clear your fraud flag, but it didn't work. I'll send an escalation, but it can take up to 72 hours to have this fraud flag lifted. So I tried creating a new account, using my Google Voice number, using PayPal, and a different browser. And nope. The laptop I want is still sitting there, unpurchased. And I'm still waiting for funds to return to my bank and my credit card. Along with every auto cancel, I get an email telling me to reset my password because Walmart thinks I'm trying to break into my own account. *screams into the void*

Okay y'all. Theoretically, if I were to buy a new PC laptop with 32 gb ram, what would y'all recommend? I'm looking at this for school. My laptop I have now only has 16 gb.

@JamminJerry @simon I have to use two programs for school that require 32 gb, even with a screen reader.

Okay then. My canceled Amazon Fresh order was delivered. As soon as I updated my payment method, I got a message of, your order will be delivered soon. Okay then. Not complaining, but either cancel the order or don't. Meow.

Last night's dinner woes: I was all set to eat the pasta salad I made last night. I cooked chicken thighs in the rice cooker and rotini pasta in the instant pot. Shredded the chicken used an onion and pepper blend, chopped up 2 pounds of roma tomatoes... And the caesar dressing was nowhere to be found. It was in my grocery order. I remember putting it away. But in the fridge were two nearly empty bottles of salad dressing. And my bottle of dressing was just gone. So I have two containers of pasta salad sitting in the fridge. And my dressing will be arriving in my Amazon Fresh order later this morning. Last night's dinner ended up being the last of the fish stew I made a few days ago instead.

I have a love hate relationship with living separately from loved ones. I miss living with people who care about me, but that care always came with some cost. Brainwashing, neglect, abuse, illegal drugs stored in the house, people micro managing where I went and what time I got home. I mis the feeling of being taken care of, having someone to cook for me, the feeling of parallel play. But I've learned to have those feelings outside my home. Truly, living on my own has allowed me to recharge from cult trauma and challenges in a way living with people who thought they knew me better never did. This move really has been for the better.

@JustinMac84 It's when two people are doing their own thing but benefit from experiencing each other's presence. :)

i'm sorry. This is Lindsey Lohan? I had no idea. Wish she'd sing more like this. Maybe she did and I just never noticed. This track appeared on the sound track of Freaky Friday. Loved the book as a kid. https://youtube.com/watch?v=vfMyKebXzyY&si=Uevjoh7O4YGqHoig

Dear Amazon,
When I said I wanted a clip-on strainer, I didn't mean one that covers a third of a pot or half a bowl. I wanted a vessel into which I could strain. Not a siphoner which keeps food in the original vessel. This really should have been made clearer in the product description.
No love,
Me
