Love looking for instructions for fixing something, finding a million pages, and they all go on for paragraphs about unscrewing the outer casing to get to the part at issue but then the instructions simply tell me to “remove”, “attach”, or “open”, the exact things I am looking for instructions on how to do
And the YouTube videos where they don’t have a hands-free camera so they just don’t show anything that uses both hands!
“So you just get out your tiny screwdriver and you… ::cut to part open:: open it up!”
How?!
How do you apply a screwdriver to that closed object in a way that renders it open?

How was hearing a story with the message “in your foremothers’ time sometimes men would be abusive but we’d be Goodbye, Earl lesbians about it” supposed to help the woman with the boorish galoot husband in the Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) frame story, anyway? Maybe it made more sense in the book.
why is LA always so fucking dark in the future, I saw a video of LA this morning and the sun was so bright it blew out my monitor
Like I was saying, ‘80s visions of the future were often really “neon noir” pulp detective renaissance, lifting from an aesthetic where specifically in Los Angeles (see also the 1982 Blade Runner) it is nighttime.
The open secret that’s been obvious to everyone paying attention is that Trump simply does not give a shit about LGBTQ issues or abortion. Every time he talks about them you can just tell, he speaks in platitudes and never goes into more detail than he has to (compare this to, say, trade, which he cares about a lot). They barely showed up in his campaign book IIRC. I think that was part of the logic of picking Pence as his VP, it was a signal to the Christian right that he’d go along with their pet issues.
In retrospect, this probably actually helped him in 2016. The majority of the public was in favor of gay marriage by 2012-13, but mainstream Republicans still had to run against it in 2016 because the religious right still felt very strongly about the issue. Trump’s refusal to care put him closer to the true “median voter” on that issue than almost any other GOP candidate. It also probably helped build the (obviously false) idea in the public’s mind that Trump was relatively moderate
@sivavakkiyar Exactly right. That comment made it really clear that he’s joining the anti-trans brigade in 2024 purely because he knows some of his fans want to hear it
Okay, uh, accidentally went down a creatine scoop a day early cause I guess I had “it’s gonna be 4” in my head measuring it out and missed the “…after this one”, but that works, I went from only weakly noticing it when it was time for a new one to “yeah I feel it in my limbs but it’s not going to make getting up that hard”
I was going to go down months ago but that day I got another echo that pushed it back up over one scoop, and before I’d fully worked that off another one that did it maybe half a scoop.
Which means that if my back-of-envelope calculations are correct and no more delays, I’ve had 40% of the total weight loss from when I first went down to 5 scoops already, which: believeable!
The significance of finally passing through the level I had been mentally modeling myself as last month was that I no longer registering myself as line, getting thinner in terms of that body I’ve always had
From here on, especially with all the muscle gain lately, I’ve just never had this body in my life, it’s like a second puberty.
“extremely marketable and only slightly scary horror game meant for ipad children to watch letsplays of” is a very unfortunate genre to watch the development of
Oh I remember when these were like physical rides at carnivals
Huh, new degrees of thinness usually proceed forearms-upper arms-chest-upper stomach-lower stomach, but I just noticed one first in the chest.
But when I checked my arms I realize they’re no smaller in diameter but much firmer as the fat loss has been matched by testosterone-powered muscle gain.
This is just… dumb. This is, quite literally, adolescent fantasy fulfillment. I haven’t even had this fantasy in decades.
