My ex spouse got an app that gave alerts every time there was anything going down in our neighborhood. They went from cautious to walk around at night to “omg we live in a crime riddled hellhole with people being murdered everywhere” and stopped going outside. People now have access to so much information, often explicitly designed to make you fearful, and we suck at statistics

My cat would have broken everything in this picture to get there including somehow the handrail

I have a 22 pound part maine coon with extra murder beans and I do not fuck with him when he’s in a mood. We’ve had to give him a bath a couple of times and I wear leather to keep myself safe

My marriage is up after exactly 7 years. Granted we were together for more like 11-12, but the marriage 7

Well I’m a game dev myself and drm is bullshit. Denuvo can get fucked

I helped a good friend quit smoking by going into detail about nicotine poisoning, talking about how child labor is used to farm tobacco, and that nicotine is water soluble and farmers can get exposed easily. Every time I’d catch them smoking I’d ask him what his child kill count was lately

In my experience learning harmonica is even more wild for this kind of cross-disciplinary skill

Like a lot of people, Factorio and Satisfactory. Been also playing a bit of Binding of Isaac and DRG. Also watching a friend play Morrowind because I love that game souch

Frostpunk has such weird balance. I found it to be an extremely difficult game until a few core loops clicked. Then it was suddenly completely trivial and I lost interest

You cursed them shouldn’t have broken your streak

Etsy has some, not a ton though. Here’s one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1485832949/minecraft-chest-storage-box-3d-print

You possibly still can! There are various guides here’s one I found https://www.bwgame.net/threads/running-black-white-on-windows-10.7916/

You may need to search around for one that works for you because it can be fiddly to get running but it’s doable

Hey I clean mine! Uh, sometimes…

I’m reminded of the game Black and White where you have an avatar/pet that you can train to behave in certain ways. You can do positive reinforcement like giving scritches and whatnot when they do something you want, or negative reinforcement which is effectively a “backhanding the shit out of an anthropomorphic pet” simulator. If they are holding something and you rub their belly they will eat what they’re holding. To train mine not to eat villagers I would hand them one, rub it’s belly, wait for the villager to be eaten, then beat them to a pulp. Usually once was enough but sometimes they’d need a second round

They’re cheesy sticks, idk from which place, but yeah they’re sad looking

If you’re freezing it all, no. It could get freezer burned but that just makes it taste off it should still be safe to eat. If you keep stuff in the fridge not freezer, or you let things sit on the counter too long between each processing step, it could go bad. That’s just general food safety though not just a trimmings thing

Looks like $1.20 in today’s money, assuming usd. That would add up fast lol, I’d have gotten banned from the computer instantly

I’m looking into doing that currently. I built a reasonable savings for myself enough I could go back to college in another country. Thinking of brushing up on learning and then to work in a new place

I’m picking up woodworking x.x

You refuted my point that they’re in everything by saying it’s easy to avoid nightshades if you: don’t eat out, eat premade food, no eating red colored things, don’t live in the Americas, don’t eat anything ambiguously labeled just spices, and fallback to rice and beans when in doubt? Of course if you’re making your own food you can avoid it and still make stuff you like but op was talking about having these restrictions forced on them to the point they were stealing food. That’s the ridiculous part they didn’t have a choice in the matter and got cut out of all the things you listed with no good way around it
