Honestly, censoring the closed captioning is an accessibility nightmare, and you start wondering if they’re doing algospeak, or if they’re the kind of person who takes the same tone of voice with disabled people and toddlers.

I’ve been starting to hear that caffeinated beverages don’t dehydrate you as much as urban legend claims.

You need to hydrate, homie

If the excess really bothers you, there are also these little straps you can buy with little suspender clips on either end, and you can use them across the corners to snug up your sheets. I had some knit jersey sheets once that would not stay on until I got some of those.

Edit: These thingies, sheet stays

The grocery store seems to have forgotten you gotta pay people to care about doing a good job. I’m just acting my wage here.

I hate to tell you this, but today is Sunday

Zardoz speaks to you, his chosen ones

That’s good then!

I don’t know if he has any hobbies besides getting angry at the news, but it’d help and give you two something to talk about that isn’t upsetting. I know you mentioned in another comment that he sees frivolity as a waste of potential, but maybe you could emphasize that he’s worked hard his whole life, and fun in retirement is supposed to be the reward for that?

What does he do for work? Maybe there’s a hobby that hits his dopamine the same way?

but lately he is getting stuck on topics and gets very very repetitive.

I used to do elder care, and this in particular could be an early sign of dementia.

Huh, yeah. I wouldn’t consider that furry or anthro.

I suspect that you consider your avatar bestial, but I would consider it anthro because it’s a canine doing a human thing.

I don’t know how finely the mods split the hair, but animals acting like humans is a commonly accepted form of anthro art, because it’s mixing human and nonhuman traits. Wikipedia even calls that famous Dogs Playing Poker series anthropomorphic, and it would presumably be likewise banned if it were digital.

Unfortunately, Digital Art doesn’t want furry or anthro art.

Since English isn’t your first language, you may not be aware that “anthro” art is when it’s part human, part nonhuman, which is why your art keeps getting taken down. You may have better luck on !artshare@lemmy.world

Disclaimer: I do not mod either of those communities and can’t do anything about this.

I say “thank you, I try” and blow them a flirty kiss.

Hey, burnt offerings were made to the gods of old, right?

We love the Cloth Mother

The store I usually go to has been unusually bad about stocking things lately, and it’s infuriating. I’m already having to drive 20min to the store (I hate driving), then I gotta navigate the mess, try to find things, overcome sticker shock at the price (seriously, $3/lb for fresh broccoli?!), only to find out that the cheap version is out of stock and I gotta revamp my whole plan on the fly because they’ve only got the fucking pasta that costs twice as much in stock.

I am about ready to start tipping shelves over.

Ultimate Frisbee Association

Hey, a couple might be really good at football.

To quote somebody famous: “Teenagers scare the living shit out of me”

I don’t get it. I’ve never been on vacation, and people say that makes me “culturally stunted”, but then I look into visiting places, and see nothing but locals complaining about tourists doing the most horrific shit.

It would check out that imperial cultures think that pissing off locals is a culturally enriching activity, but I’m a better person than that.
