When I moved over I searched for versions of all my reddit communities. Sadly, a lot of them are inactive, but I subbed anyway just in case. Then I went onto all and looked for the top handful that had stuff I liked. Now I mostly stick to my subscribed and flip over to all if I run out.
I bet!! It sounds like you had a truly exhausting day!
I guess I’m surprised because I’ve never been at a hotel that didn’t have a lobby open 24/7. Sure you can’t check in, but I’m surprised you couldn’t plop down in a seat in the lobby and read or browse on your phone until you could check in.
They wouldn’t let you chill out in the lobby?
When I was a young teen, one of my friends gave me a floppy disk of midi song files she liked a lot but they mostly had names like “ANIME 2” so I had no idea where they came from. There was one on there I was particularly obsessed with but could never find. Then one serendipitous day, I did. It was The Destruction of Laputa from Castle in the Sky.
Edit: Or it was Sora from Escaflowne. There’s been a few times I heard an instrumental or non-English song with no source to go off of.
I think I’d like to get this; do you have a brand you can recommend?
I am a woman whose father was an abusive narcissist, the list of what I needed and didn’t get is depressing to say the least. So I’ll boil it down to its essence: Be there when needed. Remember she is her own person, not an extension of you. Try to make her life better than your own. Let your love be unconditional. It may not be helpful advice, but it’s all I got for ya.
They don’t creep me out but I fucking hate birds. They’re so goddamn noisy. When I hear a bird near my window screaming, something primal in me activates and I wanna climb out on the ledge and throw rocks at it to make it shut the fuck up.
Wow thank you for the comprehensive write up! At this time we won’t be getting a new car–my husband and I are squirreling away our money for a down payment in the event we ever find a house, and since both our cars are still in fantastic condition, that takes precedence. But I will save your post, just in case!
Oh bummer, those latter things ARE what I was wanting. That’s too bad. I’m not very interested in Android Auto, I’m perfectly content with having my phone on a mount with an aux cord.
It looks like the remote starter and a rear/dash cam combo might be it!
I thought a rear/backup cam would be nice. I don’t know what other options there are that are worth going. If the answer is ‘none’ then I’m glad I asked :)
Shoot I have a LOT. Documentaries and educational youtube channels are my JAM. If people like my top picks here and want more recs, let me know and I will spill out my list of followed channels.
But the top ones that spring to mind:
Most of Barely Sociable’s work (especially the two parter on bitcoin) but of all of his, my absolute favorite is The Dark Side of the Silk Road.
Again, most of Lemmino’s works, but particularly Cicada 3301: An Internet Mystery
and honorable mention to Summoning Salt for The Quest to Beat Matt Turk a documentary about the history of Mike Tyson’s Punchout speed running.
That was so good, even as someone who has never associated with EVE Online.
I think my favorite DTRH was about the Final Fantasy House.
Hey thanks for posting this–both the original post and your own anecdote. I think personal hygiene is something that should be more comfortably chatted about. It’s weird cause most people are like “ew TMI” and yeah it can wind up in that space, but at the same time, I think there’s a lot of stuff people are lacking in knowledge in just cause it’s kind of embarrassing to talk about!
Anyway I think I also had this in my early 20s; at least I hope so. I remember scrubbing harder and harder under my pits and one day seeing something slough off and until recently I’ve always assumed I killed a bunch of skin and it all came off. But given the symptoms I had been having at the time, I think this might have been it.
Helping me break down annoyingly long/poorly formatted code segments so I can think more clearly about how to troubleshoot them.
Generating meal plan ideas (I generally do my own thing but having it pick out proteins for any given day of the week helps me to mix things up)
Assisting me as a GM in games for the reasons other people have already mentioned. I also have my hands on a module that lets an LLM pose as an NPC and give dialogue when spoken to that is absolutely fantastic when my players want to talk to some random NPC I don’t give a shit about.
Those are the biggest and most every day things.
Yes, I absolutely love this. I bought a deck of attack description cards that make hits feel more interesting by describing the action in cool ways, but it had nothing for misses, so I fed chatGPT some examples from the ‘hit’ list and asked it to make me a miss one, and it’s been great.
And if that’s too many steps, Fastmail already has the ability to create masked emails!
I’ve been complimented on my voice before, and those aren’t weird compliments. But delivery is important. I had a coworker tell me, “Your voice is great!” And of course I’m thankful. But then deadpan, she goes, “You should do ASMR so I can listen to it.”
Now that was a weird compliment.
