To add to your point, Xiaohongshu has plenty of people on it who aren’t Chinese as well. Loads. It’s not like they’re in cultural blackout.

It also kills my retail therapy that keeps my depression in check.
I’m only half joking there. I don’t want disposable things to fill the hole. I have a stainless steel pan, a carbon steel pan, cast iron, and enamel cast iron. I’ll never need another pan in my life. Whoever gets it after they die likely won’t either. One of my cast iron pans is over 100 years old and works great. Looks almost like new.
But I do want something to fill the hole some days. I just keep buying old world craftsmanship so I never have to replace shit so I never get my retail therapy.

Yeah, there are tons of places where you can’t even start a frank discussion about it without just being spammed with the suicide prevention hotline and have your post/comments taken down. Yeah, it’s SUPER important that people know those resources exist when they’re in crisis but you can’t just send them that, block them from talking to people when they may not have anyone else to talk to, then congratulate yourself on a job well done.

That’s painfully accurate in some places down here. And if you’re ever through that way again there’s some decent fishing in Lake Texana. Got a whole mess of catfish out there a couple of weeks back.

It’s a dopamine agonist. Impulse control issues are a possible side effect.

If your friend’s car looks like this, check on them. When my car was that bad it’s because my mental health was in the gutter.

They don’t do that to me because I’m a contractor who they me more than I need them. However…
I’ve seen this exact thing play out several different ways. My favorite recurring one: “Why didn’t you respond on slack/why were you offline?” (Always over some bullshit that could wait or that someone else could have handled).
“I worked the maintenance window last night because you said this non production change couldn’t be done during the day”
“Well you should still be monitoring in case there’s an emergency!”

That’s interesting.
I hope many people who you find attractive (or if you’re monogamous then your person) send you those pictures to enjoy in response to your excellent answer!

Ok, I have a question. Let me preface this by saying I’m actually not planning on sending nudes to anyone.
Does it have to be that specifically, or are you looking for someone to incorporate their passion into sending you nudes? Like oh, I’m working on a motorcycle in my garage, but seem to have forgotten my clothes! Or I was sleeping nude and dreamed a nice riff so I ran to my music studio with instruments and controllers in the background! You can see I’m passionate about it by the acoustic treatment on my walls and delicate mood lighting that helps me get into a creative headspace. My dog is sitting in a chair behind me, judging me silently.

- Comment on 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Needs to Imagine More for Its Female Characters 3 months ago:
I want to speak to this a bit because I enjoy a lot of flawed things, SNW included. I also don’t spend time complaining about entertainment I don’t like because if I don’t like it I just don’t talk about it at all. I used to spend that energy but it got old.
Side story: A friend of mine is a huge Wheel of Time fan. He has reread the books dozens of times. He started a book club where we worked at the time just to have someone to discuss them with (which i joined). This was in the days leading up to the final 3 coming out, so quite a while ago. It’s flawed. 90% of the plot could have been fixed by saying “then they actually talked to each other”. Women characters weren’t generally treated with care. Hell, dudes weren’t either in a lot of cases. When Brandon Sanderson took over the character voices changed. And I have bitched about all the issues with the books. But only because I really enjoyed them.
So when I come out and complain about yet another Spock romance, how the women aren’t being treated right, reversing the polarity of the jammy dodger flow (oh, that’s Doctor Who), Trelane vs Q, or whatever else it’s because I genuinely like Trek. I don’t talk about DS9 or the later seasons of Discovery because they’re just not my cup of tea. I’m going to let the people who like them have their own conversation without my negative opinion tainting the conversation.

Ha, yeah. I wasn’t thinking about it. It’ll just stay as a list starting with 400 then.
You’re awesome for letting me know for next time.

- But don’t be fooled. Between brain, bones, and waste you’ll only get shut 200 double quarter pounders out of them. A little more if you add beef or pork fat to make them juicy.
- Comment on Charlie Kirk suspect is a gun-loving Trump supporter 3 months ago:
Yeah, it’s all scrambling and bullshit right now. I’ve seen his grandmother say she has no idea. The New York Post (trash rag) claims his partner is transgender but then claims they’re not sure if they’re romantic partners or roommates, then states they have no idea if they’re transitioning. His grandmother is on record as saying she has no idea what her grandson’s politics are. The governor says he’s a leftist and it’s very clear but has offered no reasoning. A former school friend said Democrat but then retracted the statement within a few hours (which could mean anything from “It’s true but I don’t want to get involved”, to “I didn’t understand what I was being asked”, to “I lied and don’t want my statement scrutinized so that I won’t be a national pariah when it comes out”).
