And today is our 28yr dating anniversary!

For this special occasion I share with you Bert's belly!

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

I'm going to say hey, and then maybe come back after my uterine biopsy and edit this to just say the general sound I'm feeling. I suspect either aaaaaaaaaaa or AAAAAAAA or ghghghhg

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

It's Friday 10/17/2026.

Well, one obvious thing going on is that you've lost the ability to read a date on the calendar. "What's going on" with that?

Be me:

Seek advice on how to obtain material to repair gloves. Include anecdotal colour and context.

Get told "buy better gloves"

Point out that is an unhelpful comment

Promptly get downvoted and "ok then lets argue"

.....are the NTs ok?

That's a typo from me entering the title multiple times. Site didn't want to let me make my post this morning. That's not even the picture of Bert I wanted to share!

Mine is locked down with no direct Internet connection. I have my PC hooked up to it and watch everything through it.

I have to hope they got enough flesh because they couldn't get a lot and the only reason I'm not crying is Xanax means no wet face

I was able to install Jellyfin on mine. Unfortunately had to connect to Play Store to be download a file browser, but after that I can install vs USB.

I used to drive with a mouse; that was not ideal, but the HDMI cable is still there if I need it.

Happy anniversary!

We watched a documentary about shaken baby syndrome in class. It was horrifying. 🫠

The date will remain 10/16 for Friday regardless of where you are. Now you might be right if he's in a different timeline.

Let's not descend to tribalism, shall we? You found an asshole, it doesn't mean NTs are not OK. Some of the most caring people I know are NT.

The unscented shower gel I've been using since I was a child now has a "new and improved" formula. It now smells intensely like a porta potty 🫠. Doesn't help that it uses the same blue dye...
I'm super sensitive to smell and can't sleep after showering with scented shower gel, so I hope I can find a replacement soon.

My beard shampoo and conditioner have both been sold out and I don't think they are going to make anymore. Needless to say I am not happy.

Couple of arseholes, more than one downvote. Still not understanding why.

I've had to sit with this for a few days because it really felt like I was being attacked for performing incorrectly.

I think - well, hope -that we are having different conversations.

How I perceived it:

  • I made a comment using a well known internet rhetoric device illustrating behaviours I didn't understand
  • you castigated me for "tribalism" and said I shouldn't judge based on the actions of one person
  • I pointed out it was more than one person and i still didn't understand why the behaviour occurred

Your comment here...does not make sense to me in this context.

I understood exactly zero of that. Nada. The mention to down votes was particularly puzzling as, at the time, there was exactly one downvote on your comment. I'm still no closer to understanding you there.

The full context mentioned that after I pointed out the unhelpfulness of the comment I got downvoted and - they literally said this - "ok then let's fight"

Efit; on review it was"argue", not fight.

I'm not sure if your instance shows ratios, but I had multiple downvotes, and some upvotes.

My brother in tism, you're making less sense by the minute. There's only you and me here, and no one mentioned a fight:

You do realise that when speaking of the initial event and "downvotes" am literally talking about a comment chain that occured ELSEWHERE, right?
