Ah. I took your last line as meaning that your entire comment was sarcastic, sorry. I deleted my comment.

Sorry for what you went through, I can relate to how shitty that must have been for you.

I hope things have improved for you and you’re in a better place now.

I saved this when you initially posted it but now I have so much saved junk its very difficult to find. I have some (good) thoughts but I need to come back for that. Will update this post when I get a chance. This is very cool.

Also, no idea how you’ve done it but your website is completely unscrapped by webcrawlers. Even searching for the exact title of this post doesn’t return any results on DDG, Bing, or the evil empire. Well done.

Yeah my code is a disaster!

You got lucky then. Late 80s and early 90s were peak Satanic panic. It ruined lots of us 90s kids.

Same here. Raised by fundamentalist catholics. Its funny you mention pumping gas though haha. I couldn’t pump gas because my cousin did once and got soaked in gas. I learned decades later its because he wasn’t supposed to pump the gas but did anyway when no one was watching and squeezed the handle as he pulled it out of the pump and sprayed it everywhere.

I couldn’t play Magic: The Gathering because you “summoned” monsters and that meant summoning demons to my mom. Same story with YuGiOh and Pokemon.

Halloween was the devils holiday and was a somber affair. I wasn’t allowed to go trick or treating until I was like 10 or 11 or something. I think I eventually wore them down.

Harry Potter was the work of Satan and was going to force me to be wiccan and eat babies or something. I literally had to read it in secret like Harry studying magic with his aunt and uncle. My parents weren’t abusive like Petunia and Vernon, but I related a lot to Harry’s oppression.

I had several straight crushes in middle/high school that I wasn’t allowed to date or even really talk to.

There’s probably a lot more that I’ve finally been able to forget.

That’s not even getting into all the abuse I endured as an LGBT teen.

This is a really stupid question but how are these supposed to work? Do you just shove it under your butthole and spray away?

I visited Dubai once and wasn’t sure how to use these lol. One time I tried it and it hydroblasted my asshole. I told one of the other foreigners I was with and they laughed at me because they said that was just to spray down shitstains on the toilet. That happened at the end of my trip and I never got to ask someone who knew wtf they were talking about :(

So now I have no idea wtf they’re for.

I like to wait until it dries to a thin film and then peel it off. Hhnnnnnnnng hits the spot.

Thanks! One of those things I’ve wondered about but never bothered asking. Now I know :)

Is that plastic piece supposed to be there or can we only see it because of digital remastry? I never knew if that was part of the costume or not.

I have to copy ~8 TiB of backup files twice a year.

Spreadsheet, then?

Trail Sense might do what you want, and has a decent UI.

Signal no longer requires your phone number.

I’d rather have my credit card information on a highly secure platform like Paypal than give it out to every Tom, Dick, and Harry that asks for it on the internet.

Even if PayPal is only “mostly” secure, I still get better security from having a smaller attack surface.

I’m just explaining the joke.

Which is why they have a few months to live, and not a few minutes.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves…

Its not a guaranteed thing. As I understand it servers can simply choose to ignore the delete federation. I have never run a Lemmy server though, so take that with a tiny grain of salt.

Yeah I used to think I’d always need a desktop, but these days I mostly only use my phone and laptop. And considering how small desktops are getting, I can only imagine the days of the traditional desktop are numbered.
