Funny and cute.

There’s a nest right outside our bedroom window. They’re on their second group of babies this year.

Trappey’s Bull is good. Also have a few varieties of Tabasco (jalapeno, scorpion pepper, cayenne & garlic), and some made by the students at a local culinary program.

I enjoy thinking, closing my eyes for a bit, or focusing on my breathing. Or I’ll listen to the birds outside.

That’s true of most of them, probably. I think Palemoon is independent enough to survive on its own. Some of the others might be able to move into that role, if they had to. If the entire line of browsers died out, I guess I’d go to something webkit-based.

They’re both good.

There are already several forks that are fairly popular.

Same. I don’t want interaction on Mastodon. I’m not looking for a discussion there, I just want to curate a feed that I find interesting to view and occasionally vent about things without the pressure of social interaction.

MixedBread is nice.

From your description, it sounds like it might’ve been revised in the last few years. The version I bought, which was published in 2015, was rough. Maybe I will re-read it and see how it hits me now.

I read this book years ago and was disappointed by it. It’s basically a list of anecdotes shared with the author by clients mixed with descriptions of studies she’d read. She didn’t sound like she has any personal experience with the subject, or any real insight. The way she portrayed her clients, and children of immature parents in general, also bothered me. There’s the “good ones” who blame themselves for their parents’ behavior and are always the innocent victims, and the “bad ones” who blame someone else for everything and also sexually abuse their siblings. No depth or nuance in the way she sees the people she writes about, and no sympathy for children who react badly to their parents’ fuckery. The final thing I found lacking was that the book doesn’t really go into how to deal with immature parents: different ways of interacting with them that can be helpful, if and how to cut contact, etc. It’s all about helping people to realize that your parents treating you badly is a bad thing. Like, okay, but then what?I respect that the content is helpful to some people, but personally I regret spending $35 on it. Might be better to look for it at the library.

My parents always discouraged me from trying things and gave me self-serving advice.

This is so cute.

I feel like casual rudeness and insults have become more common as more people have come over from Reddit.

I use it on desktop when I’m trying to rephrase something I’ve written to make my meaning more clear or improve the flow.

I’ve seen BLT pizza, which sounds similar. I didn’t know salad pizza was a thing. It sounds like it might be really good or really bad depending on the freshness of the ingredients and the balance of softness to crispiness.

Never thought about potatoes on pizza, but potatoes are good in anything IMO.

In my experience, many people who don’t like or want kids choose to have them for other reasons: family pressure, trying to improve a romantic relationship, feeling like it’s the next step in life, etc. The children born as a result spend the rest of their lives with parents who don’t or can’t meet their emotional and/or physical needs. To me, that’s deeply morally wrong.

I don’t have kids because I’ve never especially liked them, and I think it’s morally wrong to have kids if you don’t like or want them.
