  Thoughts and prayers, brother. That is heartbreaking.

  Hey! I have a tiny dick and a tiny car. Do I get a prize?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, boomer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just find these reductive generalisations a bit silly and divisive. As if anyone born between arbitrary years x and y is part of some sort of united collective that can reasonably critique everyone born between years v and w.

  Urelated to the original post, but my old man is autistic (undiagnosed, but we’re all pretty sure), and I find the notion that his emotions are not facially conveyed quite heartening.

  He seldom smiles - although when he does it’s genuine. I think we as a family have sometimes made the mistake of projecting emotion into his often expressionless face, and assuming negative ones.

  It’s easy to conclude that he’s indifferent or bored, when he’s maybe just not naturally able to convey what he’s feeling through expression, which I hadn’t really considered.

  We did this ‘baby led weening’ stuff and, for a while, the sprogs would reach for the broccoli and the veggies. However, as soon as they were exposed to chicken dippers by the grand parents, all bets were off. We, of course, try to present them with balanced meals and sometimes they’ll grudgingly eat some of their veggies, but it feels like a loosing battle.

  It really does. I had fried frog legs in Malaysia. Just like tiny chicken wings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Traditions are just a society having OCD⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True. Of course, there are plenty of good traditions. Birthday cakes. Halloween. Christmas. Sometimes OCD can be useful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best stay away from that guy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think ‘that guy’ is phenomenally successful due to the weird and wildly superficial dating world tech has created.

  I’m quite fortunate as I met my wife before the apps had taken over. Other than being reasonably tall and having a pulse, I am far from being that handsome dude.

  But I did ok as I was brought up around women and have always used humour as a crutch since I was a kid, which I found women were responsive to when I grew up.

  I doubt I’d have survive the online dating world with my beer belly and average face.

  I watched this with my son last night. Quite enjoyed it. I find the cadences of the narrator’s voice oddly soothing, although ironically it sounds very like an AI voice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t use my Amiga, ST, ZX Spectrum or Mega drive on anything other than my CRT. They were designed for that pixel blur and playing on a modern TV is just not the same. I hadn’t realised the difference it made until i tried it and now I can never go back to using an LCD for any of my 80s/90s devices.

  However, beyond that somewhat niche use, CRTs are otherwise entirely pointless and basically a worse display experience in every concievable way when your source is anything produced after the advent of HDMI/Display Port.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ibuprofen⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have gout, which runs in my family (but I doubt the 90s pints helped). Therefore I was eating Ibuprofen like skittles for way too long to take the pain away. I finally relented and got on the meds after the diet and exercise didn’t fix it. Now I never take ibuprofen, and it makes me worry about how much damage I did to my organs and stomach lining while I was using it.
