This is what I do. I got a flushing ear thing specifically with the nozzle for ears on Amazon for like 10 bucks and it’s a game changer. I gotta do it yearly.

This is the best measure (preventative). Carb heavy lunches will wreck you. Save the carbs for after work, fall asleep on the couch watching TV, then wake up with a sore back.
Oh it’s fantastic, just wanted to throw in at least one reputable film
Take your pick, some of these are actual movies, some pretend to be (looking at you Suburban Sasquatch). You’ll have some laughs regardless of the pick.
If this is wrong I don’t wanna be right
Yeah dried plums. Idk why it suddenly becomes a new word, something French I think?
Batter? I hardly know’er
Or prune juice: a warrior’s drink
I was thinking Barclay had his hand in this monstrosity
That happened all the time in my smallish city sub I used to frequent. It was small enough crap like that would get banned quickly. You’d just find them stirring every hot topic pot you could find in every city sub for our state and also like 5 other states, just 24/7 “arguing” aka spouting talking points or hit and run posts. Then occasionally a random post in /r/mlb
I used to work at a credit union in IT. I can confirm financial institution laziness knows no bounds. Separate from their laziness is the vendor compatibility. I can’t count how many vendors do not update their software to run on modern browsers and relied on specific IE instances. Adding to all that is just the institution itself having decades old hardware and software because modernizing things can be incredibly expensive. The core my company used was incredibly outdated Unix and required a ton of different middleware just to make sure we were compliant where absolutely necessary. If it wasn’t necessary nothing got done. And that’s better than a lot of banks that could be running on some COBOL based core. Completely redoing the core will affect every middleware crap solution they’ve patchworked together to keep running over the past few decades and will be insanely resource, cost, and time intensive.
Even these days at my current company I run into this shit. Huntington bank requiring IE for check processing, or SAGE DB software requiring 2013 Access or else it won’t work. These are huge companies still utilizing outdated piles of garbage.
I’m a little confused and not knowledgeable on this at all so I’m genuinely curious: if inflation goes crazy for years, like 8% for 4 years let’s say, why is there no concerted effort to drop it for a while, like -5% for 4 years, to “bring it back” to the 2% aimed for originally? If that makes sense. It seems like if inflation gets insane we’re all just stuck with it for the rest of time?
Baldurs Gate 3 comes out August 3rd on PC, Sept for consoles. It’s right up your alley. Early access is going on still if you want to try it. You can fully flesh out your character in pretty much every way. 10/10 would recommend.
I believe they forced him to step down because of his stubborn stance on EVs right?
I wonder if mass edit replace would be better. https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/146lloj/protip_if_you_replace_the_content_of_your/
Great points, bubbles of fandom being divided over wider political, civil, or national issues seems to be highly prevalent. Agreed I’m sure there’s a minority of shills and bots but their message gets amplified by the “national debate” or what not surrounding whatever topic, it appears to be relatively easy to manipulate large groups of people with very few comments or ideas.
Bots and shills accounts are a huge problem in any public discourse about any topic, but they really come out in full force when “hot button” topics come up. IE: I watch Doctor Who, also a highly political and progressive show with “fans” suddenly and inexplicably divided the second there was a whiff of casting news regarding a new Doctor.
Years ago, before Jodie Whittaker got the role officially, there were reports that Phoebe Waller-Bridge might be in talks to play the Doctor and the Doctor Who subreddit exploded with “as a woman I don’t think the Doctor should be played by a woman” posts. After Jodie was announced the posts exploded again. Then later, there were talks a black actor could be playing the Doctor and once again inexplicably tons of 'as a black man I don’t care about representation… " posts went flying.
Even little subs like PrintSF for sf/fantasy etc. books got the occasional comments when it was time for Hugos. Any mention of female or diverse authors being nominated got random accounts never accessing the sub before saying shit like “anyone else notice all the books are by LGBTQ authors? I’m just asking questions” never to be seen again after Hugos were over. There’s still a remnant of Sad Puppy/Puppygate bad faith posters and shills sewing discord years later after the whole drama subsided.
It just seems like anytime potential division can be created there’s an influx in new/ random accounts pushing it where it makes no sense, like with Star Trek or Doctor Who specifically being great examples. I hope fediverse places make this kinda blatant discord harder to create.
I have to imagine a lot of this “I’m done with woke star trek” crap is perpetuated by bots and shills. Post histories on Reddit for accounts saying these right wing talking points were either days old in response to some new Trek show or episode, or years old accounts that haven’t posted in forever then suddenly posted a bunch of talking points in every thread they could find.
There were definitely legit accounts of people upset by new Trek for other reasons but far outnumbered by “anti wokester” puppet accounts. When it came to Twitter I wouldn’t bat a lash if one out of every hundred accounts were bots. After noticing their trends they get easier to spot. It’s the only thing that makes sense when the alternative is there are legions of trek fans that never noticed how progressive the shows were and suddenly decided to be angry in the past couple years.
Not the person you responded to but you can turn any shoe into this. Lock laces. Instead of tying my shoes daily you can slip them on and off and they always stay exactly perfect. I adjust them mayyybe once a year. They’re like 10 bucks and make my shoes feel amazing.
