I vaguely remember something about organelles inside a cell used to be seperate entities too

I did care before COVID, and the chromebooks were the safe option. Some sites had desktop computers available, but those had no antivirus and we logged into the admin account with full permissions.

Naked Gun

My local grocery lets me skip the step of buying them and taking them home, because they’re already moldy on the shelf.

Whaat, my library barely has computers.

Libraries don’t have playgrounds, and don’t allow food, drink, or birthday parties with friends.

When I talk about how much I miss the 90s McDonalds, I’m mostly complaining about the loss of a third space. My parents would go to McDonalds so we had a safe, climate-controlled, indoor play space, and we could spend hours there for the price of something off the dollar menu.

I don’t know of anywhere comparable these days. Anything indoors is going to be expensive, you have to get the city to unlock the local hoops, the cops start asking questions if you just want to hang out with friends, and if you have too many friends they make you get a permit to use the public park.

I don’t know if I’m sad for them, not getting the joke; or sad for me, for being here so much that I get the joke.

Oic, you’re complaining about screenshots of text as memes, not alt text.

Carry on.

It’s not for AI, its for accessibility. Alt text is a user-generated description of an image that’s been standardized for screen readers. It also helps to have a text description if the image hosting breaks.

I thought it was the planets that were making autism.

Sorry for the double response, but I just remembered something else. Right before COVID, I was in a car accident, and crushed my pelvis. I was bedbound for a year, and had six months of PT to get my muscles back, which is where I learned a lot of this stuff.

Turns out I was also not sitting correctly. I always curled my tailbone under and was sitting on the bottom of my sacro-iliac joint, but your pelvis has something called ‘sit bones’ that you’re supposed to sit on. I find that I can’t sit ‘correctly’ in bucket seats at all, so if you’re sitting at the desk like you sit in a car, maybe that has something to do with it?

Both actual moths. The black and white one is Haploa clymene, and the colorful one is Dryocampa rubicunda.

I don’t think there’s a way to keep the muscles tense subconsciously

Part of ‘better posture’ is relying on your core muscles for stability instead of your back muscles, and that’s the thing that keeps fucking with me. I overly rely on my back to keep me upright, and I have a hard time keeping my core engaged like that too. From what I’ve been told, it’s a practice thing and I just don’t do it enough for them to stay engaged without thinking about it.

The office chair is providing something called ‘lumbar support’ if you want a search term, and some people do have a bigger curve there than others. I’m proportionally short, so I have to move the cushion around until it hits the sweet spot and isn’t uncomfortable. Slouching will also make your lumbar curve flatten out, so that could be it. I think it’s just a matter of trying different things and seeing what works best for you, it’s not one-size-fits-all.

I’ve heard that could be a posture thing. If you sit like a shrimp, you’re gonna have belly rolls, no matter how skinny you are.

I say, hunched over my keyboard like a gremlin.

Part of me is so done with humanity I feel like a lot of these kids deserve the consequence of being self-absorbed and undisciplined.

That’s understandable, considering the amount of propaganda that has always been generated about the kids these days. The best propaganda has a grain of truth in it, and preys on the fear that you’re being taken advantage of, that your efforts are for naught.

There will always be ignorant people, there will always be lazy freeloaders, there will always be room for improvement. If you feel this means some people do not deserve solidarity, you cannot expect others to stand with you, and this is how the left crumbles.

If the internet is making you lose faith in humanity, you should get off the internet.

If you film it, you gain followers

I initially thought they were like numbered art prints, with a more robust way of guaranteeing authenticity.

I think it’s more that a stew is a kind of soup. Bisque is a kind of soup, chowder is a kind of soup.

The real question is how many noodles can you eat it with before you have to start calling it a sauce.
