Me too comrade. For a brief time in college I was living in a large family home by myself as the owners had relocated to be nearer to good doctors, and it was so crushingly lonely. That is until I invited a D&D group who had lost their place to play into my abode which somehow turned into them all hanging out there at all hours of the day, all weekend, and occasionally overnight during the week. I loved the feeling of the house being so full. Unfortunately, no one had taught them to care for communal spaces and so it became a mess by the time the owners were returning. At the time I didn’t have the interpersonal skills to manage that conflict, but I think I’d do better given the chance again.

Just sharing the eventual happy ending to a sad story.

I had a friend trying to get disability for a laundry list of problems that left her unable to do much, and the judge ruled against her with an example job of folding sheets and towels at a hotel. No hotel we could find employed a person to do that job alone, nor am I convinced she or anyone could do that job for 8 hours at a time, but still it was enough to get her case dismissed.

However, it did start a paper trail that helped her win disability several years later in a more progressive district. She now lives in a 6 person polycule, 5 of whom are disabled.

I can’t bring myself to upvote any of the Incel-origin memes. Ascribing correctness to attractive white people feels too sus.

Gotta make them prestige, let em start over at $0 but with a badge that says “I won capitalism”

I’d rather not have to pay the subscription, but PictureThis on iOS has been invaluable to my partner and I with identifying native plants to try and grow in our wildlife pond or to transplant into our yard for local pollinators. You can see a plant doing well in nature and snap a photo to learn what it likely is, if its native, and its common use case.

Thanks!

Cool, I’ll try it. I really just mean easy step sequencing for drums and arpeggiators and stuff for synths, maybe a way to limit notes to certain scales. I’m trying to move into the box from grooveboxes, and having to do raw piano rolls and timeline sequencing is daunting to me at the moment.
