I really hope they make a Croque Monsieur with this pig.

Same! Mine have a passthrough mode that pumps through what the microphone picks up but lets you select how much. I leave a little on because I feel weird if I can’t hear what’s happening in my surroundings.

It claims to have 18k users. I didn’t see their criteria for “active”, though.

That’s why I like Blahaj - no downvotes to silence dissent or minority voices.

It wasn’t uncommon on Reddit for me to ask an entirely on-topic question that I could not find being asked before and to get downvoted to oblivion. I later found I could delete these and repost verbatim a few hours or even days later and they’d often receive a positive response. The single biggest predictor of whether or not a neutral comment was inexplicably dogpiled upon was the first two votes. If it dipped to -1, it was typically done for.

And US society reinforces that behavior by shaming men for being vulnerable or showing weakness and teaching others that a crying or otherwise emotionally vulnerable man is something deserving of shame and contempt.

A great example is online advice articles about handling relationship issues: so much advises that stoicism is the only option, otherwise your girlfriend/wife will lose their respect and attraction for you.

I had an ex-girlfriend mock me for crying during our breakup and know many men who have encountered similar shaming treatment from other men and women. It’s brutal.

They do: you! Run for local office and help infuse some vitality back into a tired, corrupt political system.

My dad’s go to from the 1980s all the way up to his death in the 2020s was “fuckme42069” . He was an OG Neckbeard.

Great response, very well written!

Same here. I have no complaints about the service and it’s easy for my tech illiterate family and friends, but I’ll switch as soon as they try to charge pass owners for new features.

This looks great! Yet another container for our poor home server.

Mr. Rogers was better than we deserved.

elites trying to skirt their responsibility to die like it was their fair share of the tax burden.

Nicely phrased! A++ would read again.

This looks AWESOME! As an ADHD squirrel, I’m super excited about this. I have zero programming skill, but I’ll happily test the hell out of it.

Good enough to be understood but not good enough to not use idioms incorrectly. For example, I spent a solid five minutes trying to remember if “así así” or “ni fu ni fa” can apply to competency before throwing my hands up.

Mediocre. Mi español es mediocre.

I just need practice.

My partner and I almost moved to Germany last year and I am so glad we didn’t. If we’re going to be in a fascist country, I’d prefer to be a citizen since white fascists tend to frown extra hard on us brown immigrants.

They think this life is a transitional state and accelerating toward their mythological end times gets their sky wizard’s kid/avatar to come back. This we all get to be happy, except those that aren’t Christian. We’re all fucked. These fuckers are insane.

Depending on who steps in, it could be a significant achievement for world peace.

My long-time ex was Jewish, can confirm. They were alright but their zionist relatives absolutely dropped some fucking bombs (proverbial, probably literal now) during family gatherings. The mildest was the tired old “part of being a good Jew is supporting Israel” ranging up to “Palestinians are subhuman and should be exterminated”. Mind, this was over twenty years ago and the situation has demonstrably escalated since.

That sub is surprisingly toxic, even for Reddit. I skimmed a few comments sections and the smug/schadenfreude levels are off the charts. It’s people curating stories of people’s anguish so they can mock them and act superior. How sick.
