I do the reverse. My IoT devices that I didn’t make myself get shut out of communicating with anything but Home Assistant.

I’ll let them have internet access if there’s a firmware update, but that’s it. Anything that requires an internet connection to work doesn’t get purchased.

The NSFW subs are horrible about it. Someone makes a new one and then posts dozens of pictures that all show up at once.

This isn’t a new phenomenon at all, it’s been a thing throughout human history.

pearsaltchocolatebar, to asklemmy in what are your fun, low stakes new year resolutions?

I’d recommend getting into Asimov’s Foundation series. I, Robot is kind of a meh book from him, Imo (I’ve read all his fiction work)

Also take a look at Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park) and Arthur C. Clarke (2001: A Space Odyssey).

I’d also recommend Heinlein, but his books do get pretty “pervy misogynistic old man harem fantasies” in his later years.

Mine is really just getting back into working out. I kept trying to go too hard after my shoulder surgery and kept pulling muscles (not in my shoulder), so I’ve taken like an 8 month break to let my body heal. This time I’m starting with my goal being 30 reps with perfect form at 5lb and going from there.

It sucks losing a bunch of muscle mass that you busted your ass to get, but luckily it’s easier to regain it than to grow it the first time.

As someone married to a spectrum lady, that description is absolutely not universal.

French horn, for sure. You’d be surprised at just how prevalent it is in music.

I mean, what else are we going to do with the bodies of child laborers, bury them?

Actually, being a shitty cook would mean you can’t make anything good with those ingredients.

Yup, I have to make this point to my wife every time she says it. BDD is a bitch.

pearsaltchocolatebar, to asklemmy in How to respond to gf saying "I'm fat"

It’s not lying. Fat and overweight mean different things in this context. Fat is a pejorative word, carrying a negative connotation. Overweight is a statement of fact

The gf isn’t saying, “I’m fat,” as an acknowledgement of her weight being over the recommended bmi, she’s actually saying, “I’ve gained weight, and I feel ugly and I’m concerned you won’t be attracted to me anymore.”
