To be honest, I’ve never understood it either, but I’ve used it in the past to find artists and fanart. Only because I understood Tumblr even less. Twitter was great for artists, or at least for my art enjoyment.

If you have an instant pot or something similar, pressure cooking eggs using a 5-5-5 method is also super great.

Put the eggs in a steamer tray or little rack- as long as they’re not touching the bottom. Pour in a cup of water, then seal the lid and make sure it’s not set to venting. Set it to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes (I do 4, actually because I like it a little jammy in the yolk).

It takes ~5 min for the pressure to come up, 5 min cook time, then you give 5 min for the pressure to naturally come down before venting and taking eggs out to put in cool water.

I’ve personally never used an ice bath and my eggs come out gorgeous every time.

So many keyboard shortcuts.

Tab, end, shift+home, del

I delete things en masse that I don’t mean to, just out of habit.

Oh what’s fex? Sorry, I could probably Google this

Both of my parents had difficult upbringings that both of them need some serious therapy for. I don’t really know any details, but a little bit ago my mom got a random call from an investigator in southern California. They had either caught some guy or were trying to catch some guy that killed a string of young girls some 30 years ago. All I know is that after talking more thoroughly with the investigator, she was sobbing - and my mother is a very hard woman. She had a run in with this guy and my guess is that there was something very traumatic involving an SA. But I don’t know and I don’t want to know because I don’t have the oomph to carry that weight with her unless she goes to therapy.

I know some other stories from either of them and it rings true that hurt people hurt people. But I don’t want to know more about any of the hard times nor the party times because it’s too much for me to bear.

I was playing Nintendo with my dad when I was fairly young, we were racing. He didn’t take the shortcut, so I figured in my little head that a playful insult was warranted. And I remember thinking that ‘chicken’ just wasn’t quite powerful enough.

So, my, a teeny tiny little blonde girl, turned to my dad and said “what are you, a pussy?”

I’ve been using an Xbox pro controller for a while on my Mint setup, just plugged in. I can’t get the Bluetooth to connect and I assume it’s because I need to update the drivers for the controller via Windows. 🤷 Whatever.

But my controller bit the dust somewhat recently, so I grabbed a PS5 controller this time and it works right out of the box, no issue. I haven’t tried the Bluetooth to be honest because I’m so used to playing plugged in, but meh. The little trackpad thing on the PlayStation controller also works well as a mouse trackpad when I’m far away from my PC (like if I have it running in the living room instead of at a desk).

I call this shit Evil Boredom.

It’s the worst and it makes me feel angry and guilty and dumb and broken. Evil. Evil Boredom.

I think this is one of the reasons why Pathfinder 2e has been doing so well.

It’s a middle ish ground and it feels good to progress.

My current issues with it are how underpowered the items are. So boring.

Ah thank you so much. For what it’s worth, I’m proud of you and your brother, too! ❤️

I broke several cycles in my family. I didn’t fall back into the cycle of being poor. Nor did I fall back into a cycle of abuse.

I struggle every day with mental grossness, still, but I won’t let myself fall down into the same cycles.
