Normal person reading that: particle accelerator from TEMU

Me: oh god, there are TEMU particles??

For me, hourly movement reminders and medication reminders without having to constantly keep my phone in my pocket has been a godsend. Keeping track of my heart rate (especially while asleep) has also been great for being more aware of when my PTSD symptoms are acting up. I’m also never going back to a sound based alarm instead of a vibrating one, no idea if regular watches have that now too or not.

And he isn’t autistic because he’s a Vulcan, that’s 100% the human part of him.

Not sure I’d consider things like the ability to make your character trans a symptom of anything other than the game being made in the 21st century.

If the game is dog shit the people crying about it being woke will still be the idiots. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think I played a ROM of that when I was younger! It’s the text based game right?

If you don’t like the game, at least listen to the soundtrack. It’s still one of the best game soundtracks IMO.

Also, this is pure pet peeve, but have you ever seen that MBFC has a rating for itself? It pops up if someone links to it in the body of the post.

The highest possible scores in both categories, of course. 🙄

Tuning into CSPAN like people tune in to NASCAR races to see if anyone’s going to die.

Ask your vet if they think it’s a good idea to let your cat eat random wild birds during an outbreak of H5N1 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I like bird watching too, and it’s easier to do without a predator scaring them off.

Damn, there’s a blast from the past. I haven’t thought about Gunsmith Cats in ages.

Tap for spoilerI didn’t misremember that there’s a vampire in that show, right?

You can’t guarantee that only “pest” birds (which still may be native, protected species) will visit your birdbath, or that they won’t carry some illness or parasite to pass on to your cat.

 
 

Some of the medications include:

  • Antidepressants
  • Antihistamines
  • Stimulants
  • Beta blockers
  • Diuretics
  • ACE inhibitors
  • Thyroid medication
  • Antipsychotics

Be sure to pay extra attention to any symptoms of heat exhaustion, stay hydrated, and in a cool area indoors when possible during heat waves.

Inspired by watching my cat lay on her 6' (2 m) tall cat tower and sleep like a baby. Zero regrets, even if it makes us look like insane cat people for having a giant cat tower right in our living room. She lives here, she gets furniture too!

Weed and furry rule (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Alt text: a one panel comic drawn in the style of The Onion’s Stan Kelley that says “shelter from the storm”; three rain clouds that say “resurgent fascism”, “irreversible climate change”, and “impending economic collapse” are raining on a furry character, who is cheerfully whistling because they have an umbrella labeled “weed and furry porn” that is keeping them dry. Similar to The Onion comics, a smaller character representing the artist is in the corner, saying “weather proof.” The artist is CritterDome
