I once used a PC without a UPS attached, and wouldn’t you know it, I got a papercut on my balls.

And then I got banned from using the computers at the public library. Rough day.

I don’t smoke, but it feels prudent to mention that unless you’re consistently exhaling into a filter of some sort there’s still going to be a smell.

Like the initial breath will be filtered but all the air in your lungs still smells, and each breath is mixing with that air and spreading the smell around.

There’s also the chance that you’re getting used to the smell since you smell it all the time and you just don’t notice it as much.

I’m sure the smokebuddy helps significantly, but I wouldn’t expect it to be a magic bullet.

You what now

Where is this $20? It looks like on powkiddy’s official store it’s $40 and the black Friday sale is $15 off orders of $20 or more, so that’s $25 + shipping. Which is a still great price. I just can’t find it for the $20 you mentioned.

Edit: The price is on xianyu. I read so far down I forgot the site being listed at the top of the writeup. Looks like the powkiddy site is the best bet for buyers outside of China.

Same. It feels very anime, and anime VAs can sound very cliché. It’s not bad, it’s just not my “favorite.”

That’s fair though, I may have had the same reaction at the end of my play through. Kirby isn’t exactly a “go for a high score” kind of game.

OP be like “you mean the entire time I was playing there was a score???”

Excited that it finally exists, but just looking at the release graphic I’m concerned of how heavy handed their AI use may have been.

I know every software engineer uses AI to code now. It’s just sometimes it’s vibe-coded slop and sometimes it feels more like AI-assisted human code.

I’d say I’m cautiously optimistic, but I feel more like a pessimist who really wants to be proven wrong.

That’s awesome!

How is that statue a “tribute to courage, patriotism, and distinguished service”?

That woman is going “These are my boobs. I am asleep.”

NPR did a podcast episode on it. Subaru basically realized that their car specifically resonated with lesbians due to various usability niches and so they decided to lean heavily into it. But it was the 90s, so they needed to be sublte at times.

Wouldn’t a dog whistle be a type of shibboleth?

Dog whistles convey a message to those in the know, but without outsiders being able to hear it. (Like how a dog can hear a dog whistle but humans can’t.) A shibboleth would convey that you’re a part of an identity group without outsiders being able yo tell the difference.

Though I suppose dog whistles could also be phrases instead of words. Idk, there’s at least some overlap.
