Since a lot of women have started to call their female friends “girlfriends”

This isn’t really a new thing, though… Is it? Or did I miss the era where we didn’t use “girlfriend” - at least sometimes - when talking about a female friend?

Good bot! Thanks - I was in a hurry. Knew I could count on you 😉

When I was in my training for the Army, I did use caffeine pills - it was a jittery and uncomfortable experience, but I couldn’t fill my canteen with coffee, and it’s not like we were allowed to swing by a café.

Also when I used to go to conventions, and caffeine is handed out like crazy (because, gamers - so pimping your brand of caffeine is an obvious move, and free shit is good for business) - but it’s also kinda “required” in order to get the most out of the experience. Late night parties and concerts and next morning panels, and more! Plus visiting the city!

But it’s too much for just a normal day now, and the jitters and sour stomach aren’t worth it. Part of the problem is that it’s basically delivered all at once whereas I can add a little bit more caffeine throughout the day if I need it via coffee or soda or tea.

Well shit. Sorry, man…

Are bionic spines a thing already? Cause I’d really love it if those could be easily available for all of us with chronic back pain. Hell, even not just chronic - any bs back pain.

Edit: I see now that it has been researched, at least. Here’s an article about building a bionic spine but why don’t I have something like this at the pharmacy?

Edit 2: I accidentally a word

Well, you’re in luck! At least one of those exists already! 👍

There’s a kind of electric violin that actually is rather quiet, and in addition to the strings being quieter (there’s no resonance chamber) you can plug headphones in (yeah, plug) and have it sound loud to you. Electric or “silent violin” should probably lead you in the right direction!

I assume you mean IRL activities?

• Lock picking,
• knitting/crocheting,
• learning to roll a coin over your knuckles,
• working with beads or chainmail,
• definitely piano but other instruments can also help,
• and also typing. Home-row, no-looking, speed typing, is I guess what I mean.

That’s the spider’s way of paying rent, in our household. If they come out into the spaces where we are, it goes against the rental agreement, and they are …evicted.

I feel like watching him come of age while rebelling against his lot/role, going on that adventure to find himself is really important, whether he’s technically a prince at the time or not.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I almost suggested this one too - I’d put it on when my kids were babies, since they seemed to like it well enough, and I loved the movie and soundtrack

Absolutely! On both counts! But I feel like it does show that just because someone is a prince and perceived as “important” doesn’t mean he’s gonna do the right thing. Strive to be a good person, not just a royal.

That’s my opinion on the two of those characters, at least. 😋

What about The Lion King? (I’d have to recommend the 1994 animated movie, but I haven’t seen the newer one)

Similar style, but Spock doesn’t wear his like a full-sized backpack. More of a commuter purse?

Well, the spoiler tags work in Connect, but the emojis did not. The emojis work in Liftoff and Sync, but the spoiler tags did not. Both worked in the Voyager/pwa. (This is one of the things I use 4 apps because of.)

Nothing super dramatic, honestly. I’m really happy with the level of polish/finish in S4L, and the rate of releases that the dev has been keeping up since moving to Lemmy. I really didn’t use reddit without Sync (or RES if on PC), so it just feels right given how similar the platforms are. Sometimes I just want to change it up without spending any time in settings menus.

Also, sometimes I just feel like looking at the vaporwave-dark theme in the Voyager pwa. I haven’t used Liftoff much since Sync came out, but I did a lot of app-hopping when I first got here and I guess the habit stuck!

That’s probably why I have 4 installed rn - because you’re a man-child (j/k, obviously it’s because I’m a …lady-child?)
