That’s even more concerning!

Yeah, agreed.

I was recently very interested to learn that, if I run a VPN on my phone, Auto immediately calls out the VPN as a problem and refuses to connect to my car until it’s disconnected.

Per Mozilla, they’re already getting that from the car manufacturers.

If this premise entertains you, you might enjoy the American Dad! episode regarding Guy Fiere.

Personally, I love most of their episodes, but I think my favorite is the one with the rear projection TV.

I had to type that alt text thrice because I was using my client’s “generate image markdown” GUI and had problems. The first time I got it perfect, but put it in the URL field and didn’t notice until I’d closed the browser tab (I’m on mobile and browse exclusively in focus mode, so the usual easy recovery wasn’t an option).

Then I tried again and got it right, but I’m still adjusting to FUTO keyboard and it just randomly closed the dialogue. If that was my fault, I have no idea what I did to inspire the action.

Finally I (think I) got it right on the third try, but the story of the odyssey amuses me more than the original meme itself.

Still one of the best Family Guy cutaways.

In Witches 3, in the first big city, there’s a guy who yells “top notch swords!” every time you pass him.

But … He doesn’t sell swords. Not even weapons. Just armor.

I wouldn’t find that so offensive if he weren’t so boastful.

I skimmed your body and didn’t see Yesterday, which is a shame because it was quite fun and kind of the opposite of a Beatles movie.

(Sorry if I just missed it.)

I will keep this in mind for my next remodel.

I had guessed the nature of the site and “roleplay.” It is a tad silly on my part to not have guessed “erotic”; thanks for getting me there (and not in an erotic way).

edit: Had left out the word “there.”

… What’s ERP? Or don’t I want to know?

Good for you, man! Congratulations on your progress.

I agree with you … But the contention mentioned above is mostly just a joke between us now. The good news is that I plan to be with her the rest of my life and die before she does, so how long we’ve been together is less of a concern to me than how long we will be!

I couldn’t do it as an adult, but two separate times as a kid / teenager I stayed up for 6-7 days straight.

The first time I didn’t have any negative symptoms except nausea and, obviously, fatigue.

The second time I did have mild visuals starting around the fifth day. It was decades ago, so I only really remember one, which was goblin or green witch-like clawed fingers curling around my doorframe. I think I blinked hard a few times and did the stereotypical cartoon head shake and they were gone.

That’s similar to what I was considering saying - my wife and I disagree whether we met when I was 22 or 23 and all the services we used to talk back then (IRC server, Skype, AIM) are gone, so there are no easily accessible records.

That said, I’m about to turn 38, so also fifteenish years is how long I’ve known her. We got married about seven years after that.

Sometimes, during longer sessions, I involuntarily think of that one old reddit story about a guy who put some hair removal chemical on his testicles then started watching some show while he waited for the chemical to work. Subsequently he got absorbed in the show long enough for the chemical to do its thing and far too much more. (In case you’re not familiar with the anecdote, he had to go to the ER but the member in question was apparently still functional if visually altered after a recovery period.)

I’ve never used that kind of ointment on my groin or anywhere else. However, sometimes when I start to get absorbed in some media whilst pantsless, my general anxiety makes me double check that I didn’t apply something for the first time ever, then forget about it.

My wife also made a spreadsheet detailing her symptoms before her assessment (which was with a GP, not a mental health professional). Apparently the mere existence of the document was sufficient to earn her a diagnosis.

Also I’ve heard they’re usually lit from above when on camera, emphasizing muscle definition.

My Q1 Pro was awesome for weeks without issue, but now the motor is jammed (I can see the little gear trying and failing to move) and I’ve been too afraid to take it apart.
