@Zest it's okay to whine. I really hope you feel better soon. ;w; Tooth extraction is always unpleasant regardless. On the upside, at least now it can heal ;w;

@avie@awoo.space you can use "this shit is lit!" for great jams, but you can't use that for tepid jams, you gotta be like "yeah this shit needs reheating"
like
gotta pop that tune in the microwave and put it on high for like a minute or two depending on oven wattage
it's like
rustlers microwavable burger jams.
@avie@awoo.space @socks hence why "nuclear take" is like a hot take but hotter and waaaay more likely to ignite a uh... =w= "heated discussion", badumptch,
@avie@awoo.space @socks I never really thought much about it but I'm realising I sorta interpreted it as "this is an opinion that will likely cause some flame wars" i mean not that people talk about flame wars any more, that's like, web 1.0 forum and BBS discussion board age terminology
@ifixcoinops i hear the inkjet printer thing is one of those "hoist by their own petard" things, like...
the printer manufacturers can't turn a profit on the printers if they charge them what they actually cost to build, because nobody will actually BUY the damn things, so instead they massively inflate the price of the ink cartridges to ridiculous levels, but now they're caught in this situation where they have no CHOICE but to do this??

UK Census 2021, trans
A good reminder over on Reddit:
The 2021 census includes:
""Is the gender you identify with the same as your sex registered at birth? -> This question is voluntary" and provides two reply options:
* Yes
* No, write in gender identity (and provides a box to write down your gender identity)"
As they note, it's useful to fill this out accurately if you /are/ trans:
"There is a lack of information on how large the trans* population is the UK, and estimates vary a lot - and are often disputed. Resourcing and funding for GICs and other services are based on population sizes. Both the government and transphobes tend to push down estimates of how large the trans* population is as a reason to under-fund GICs and services. If the size of the UK trans* population is more accurately known then the government will have less excuse to continue to under-fund and under-resource GICs and services, and transphobes will be less able to claim that 'there aren't many trans* people in the UK' and then claim that 'services aren't justified for a small number of people'."
@katnjiapus@toot.site @sc @fraggle@octodon.social that apple in "amazing condition"...

if your cat often bothers you at your computer and walks all over your keyboard, it's because they're trying to join you and do what you're doing. It's a sign of affection! One way to mitigate disruption without pushing away your cat is by buying your cat their own laptop and plugging it in next to yours. make sure the laptop has wifi, a VPN, and access to the darkweb
