Yeah, I’m not clear either. At first I thought the microblogs section would work more like Mastodon but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Big missed opportunity

After watching Season 2 of The Orville I’m of the opinion that Seth MacFarlane should be put in charge of the next mainline Star Trek series. The man truly gets Roddenberry’s vision.

I honestly don’t know if I have any pictures from back then. I should, but I dunno where they would be.

At the time I was also fond of wearing brightly colored collared shirts too, so between my hair and my clothes I probably was safe to go hunting in terms of visibility.

It is now state personnel policy that, for the purposes of visibility, hair can be counted as visibility headwear so long as it is the correct color of bright orange.

I dyed my hair traffic cone orange one summer and asked if I still had to wear my hat. My boss was amused and asked his boss. His boss was also amused and asked his boss. On and on and on until a memo was issued signed by the director of the entire agency saying that no, anyone with traffic cone orange hair did not have to wear a hat.

Funnily enough the one time I had the other kind of mushrooms I was expecting them to taste awful based on all the warnings and my own issues with mushrooms. Turns out I don’t mind the flavor that much.

It just gives me a 404 when I try to use it on kbin, sadly.

Has anybody made a kbin script/userstyle that has the same information density as old.reddit? One of the things that drives me nuts about most of the fediverse is that every damn site seems to love this wide spread out low information density mobile web awfulness.

Mushrooms. When I was younger I just knew I hated them, then as I got older I realized it was because after I had more than a mouthful of them my throat started burning. I figured it was an allergy and that was that… then I fell in love with a woman whose third favorite food is mushrooms. She spent years trying to find a way to get me to appreciate mushrooms, and not a casual effort I should add. First we figured I was fine with Enoki mushrooms (the little beansprout-like ones you get in Miso soup sometimes), then it was Oyster mushrooms which are pretty damn versatile, if low on flavor. Started incorporating those into my cooking, and for years that was the extent of it until one day I had something with white mushrooms in it and realized the damndest thing: my throat wasn’t burning. I’m not sure how or why, but whatever problem I had with mushrooms had gone away. Now I have mushrooms almost every day, usually as part of my breakfast.

TL;DR: Mushrooms kick ass.

Very few states allow it, and none of them in public. It’s only ever allowed in a private residence (usually the residence of your parent/guardian) while under the direct supervision of your parent/guardian. Even then it can become a crime if somehow the law gets involved and they feel like pressing charges.

During my very brief stint as a security guard at a casino I ran into that last part way more than I ever would have expected. It is astounding how many people do not understand that the laws from their home country do not apply in the country they are visiting.

The Sega CDX. I had a Genesis, I had a Sega CD, but the thought of having both of those systems combined into one compact unit that also could be used as a discman (a really bad one, even I knew that at the time) was so appealing to me. There was one at the local game store for some absurd price ($350 I think) for literally years, and I would salivate over it every time I went in the store.

Ultimately I never got one, but at least I didn’t miss out on any games or anything.

It’s an alternate app store primarily for FOSS software, including a lot of stuff that you can’t find on the Play store. It’s very well vetted and there’s zero reason not to use it.

If you want a more specific example of something worth getting on F-Droid, there are several adblockers which work significantly better than anything you’ll find on the Play Store, simply because the Play Store largely prohibits apps which directly affect the operation of other apps.

Wow, didn’t figure they’d go so blatantly mask off this early on. They must be nervous.

Also dumb. Have they never dealt with pirates before? Cut off one head and two more grow to replace it. Good luck you shmucks.
