  I took all my meds on time, and so did my dog.

  Oh! I also baked a pizza and it was really tasty. Pup didn’t get pizza, but did get oven-dried fish skins and he’s really happy about that.

  Adorbs, but can’t hold a candle to the garden eel. Mostly because they both live underwater.

  Agreed, it’s pretty great. And while the computer sometimes misunderstands what you swipe, it will show you potential alternatives you can tap on. Like in this screenshot: example of swipe keyboard showing alternative words

  They’re not as good at preventing STDs, but they’re decent at preventing pregnancy.

  How many X are in XTX?

  You can also ask a librarian for help. We like finding things and might be able to get a copy through interlibrary loan or other connections. We also like girl scout cookies, especially the ones with coconut.

  Yes, but dealing with frustrations is frustrating.

  Can confirm: am allergic to latex and use LaTeX. Benadryl and barrier cream are my friends.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA: Libraries⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve not heard of that around here. The public library I worked at was chill about everyone visiting, including several people I’d consider “problems”: dude that always sat next to the teen section and complained the teens were loud while being louder than any teen, and other dude that would sit in the middle of a row of public computers and turn off the ones on either side because she didn’t want to sit next to anyone else.

  The only time we kicked anyone out was when someone was vaping. The only time someone got banned was when they were racist in response to being told they couldn’t vape in the library.

  I’m too pale AF to have a loving relationship with the sun. I’ve been burned too many times. I always use protection, but last weekend the sunscreen failed me :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I’ve got this worldbuilding project where a big chunk of land is cordoned off. I’m not sure what’s inside.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ohio is a perfectly nice place filled with perfectly nice people. Exceptionally, creepily, contagiously nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I do. I left my pour-over coffee maker at the office, so I make do with instant coffee. It’s… ok, if I drown it in almond milk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is slowly dying while Reddit thriving⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My mobile app (Joey) still works for me. I think it’s because I’m a moderator on a subreddit. I occasionally visit Reddit, but not nearly as much as I used to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thinking of visiting a pawn shop. What should I know?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  TBF you just described most of capitalism.

  I don’t need a gun, but the pawn shop on my commute has some musical instruments in the window which intrigue me. I’m a serial hobby-starter, and prefer gently used hobby tools over new, because used items have less of an environmental impact than new items.

  Good pupper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US issues first ever fine for space junk to Dish Network⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how much of the rise in reported latex allergies is the prevalence of tire bits in the environment. Iirc, some of the rise is from increased awareness and some is it attributed to increased latex glove usage in medical settings due to the AIDS epidemic. But are tires also a relevant factor?

  (Am latex sensitive, have never used latex gloves even in an educational setting because my high school chem teacher was allergic so we had nitrile in the lab)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The mist Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My understanding:

  • you: the person I’m talking to
  • y’all: the group of folks I’m talking to
  • all y’all: y’all, plus anyone else that could possibly be addressed by me (everyone in voice range)
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The mist Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a Southern transplant living in New England for the last couple decades and I’ve never thought of “y’all” as being indicative of right-wingedness. I use it all the time and it doesn’t feel like anyone thinks anything of it.

  That would likely affect people that use screen-readers, too.

  The Android app Connect has it. I’ve blocked a few instances, so I don’t see communities from them. I do see posts from users from those instances, but they’re collapsed by default. Example:
