I have a huge number of content filters, basically stopping just short of blocking the words "left" and "right" but trying to block everything else political.

What I wish I could find a way to do is pick by post language - I have nothing against a user/community, I just don't speak (usually) German.

Now...is this legal to show in public or not?

I had a 3 day paddling adventure planned but a partner with the sniffles and way more rain than called for had other ideas. Now it's VR, sewing, make soup and a shorter day trip when it clears up on Sunday.

Do they count audiobooks? Is it about consuming the content of the book or the delivery system?

None of these policies address that life is too expensive and difficult for people now for them to think about having kids....telling struggling people things will only get half as worse once they have children isn't motivating anybody.

From my therapist: In the absence of a crystal ball the best predictor of someone's future behavior is their past behavior.

When google asked if I wanted to try Gemini I gave it a try and the first time I asked it to navigate home, something I use assistant for almost daily, it said it can't access this feature but we can chat about navigating home instead - fuck that!

Even though I switched back to assistant it's still getting dumber and losing functionality - yesterday is asked it to add something to my grocery list(in keep) and it put it on the wrong list, told me the list I wanted doesn't exist, then asked if I wanted to create the list and then told me it can't create it because it already exists.

I've talk to more logical toddlers!

The first wedding I ever attended was my own...and I was 35. I somehow had friends & family who didn't get or were already married my entire life.

Still never been to a birth or a funeral.

It really depends on what I'm doing to elicit the comment - I'm often doing silly things, getting enthusiastic about stuff, exploring my environment and other things vaguely "childish" and so would consider cute to be a compliment.

Coming with no context it's neutral, way better than being called sexy but generally my appearance doesnt need comment.

If I'm upset, or being professional, or an authority than being called cute is 100% and insult.

Yes, a line graph showing residents vs visitors by month would tell a much more meaningful story.

I don't feel like the government should be matching donations to a private organization...it's the f-ing government - either just go help people who need help because they're your people or contract with red cross to do the helping for you with accountability for the job they do.

Matching private money, hoping its enough to help where they obviously see it's needed, and putting no accountability on the recoever of the money to do anything specific with it is not how to deal with disasters! PR Garbage.

It's okay to be curious about the world - wanting to understand is not the same thing as wanting to judge or prevent.
