    Welcome to the Caint Lock‑in. Here, moderation is intentionally light, though it will still be applied. We’ll be importing hashtags and ActivityPub feeds from external forums to expand the content available on Caint. Because the imported content covers a wide range of topics including politics, current events, and other potentially sensitive subjects, some posts may be offensive to certain readers. I will do a brief check of threads to see if it’s appropriate to stay (Where I toe the line is not going to be agreeable by everyone.If additional ‘staff’ is added in the future, where they toe the line is at their discretion) Even though the content may be imported, you can still reply, upvote, report as normal. As a Caint member, you represent the community when you post, so please be courteous to all.

    Plus if you ever get bored and there’s a police helicopter hanging around you can always just take it outside and just hold it.

    Hrm. I try to… plan my ‘mega-snacks’ to hit a bit more specific food groups / kinds of nutrients than just… munching on whatever untill I’m full. So, still lazy in that it doesn’t require any actual ‘cooking’ or food prep, beyond just grabbing an assortment of things. But no so lazy that basically 0 thought is put into it. … Not sure if that qualifies as a meaningful difference in terms of ‘girl dinner’ vs ‘mega snack’. Also, I’m using the word ‘lazy’, but I’ve been seriously depressed and/or exhausted and overwhelmed before, ‘lazy’ isn’t quite the right word… … as it tends to imply there was even a possibility that you had the mental bandwidth to decide to not use, to actively be ‘lazy’, when that isn’t always the case for someone who chronically having a really not good time.

    Lux interior (top pic) was the singer for the band “The cramps”. Not sure the second, but probably easily found by searching, which I am going to do now.

    I’ve found I have the opposite problem. This boss just has 1 or 2 hits left, I can relax/try this new tactic and I’ll be fine/be able to revert to the tried and true method before it kills… Oh I’m dead, for the third time, rage quit.

    I hate speakers with open bluetooth. I’d rather have to press a button than let anyone in range potentially have control, partially for shit like this, partially just because someone looking to connect to their own device might pick mine on the list if theirs isn’t showing up. My soundbar is very good at always showing up on that bluetooth device list and I have had neighbours randomly connect to it. I’ll usually turn the bt off at that point, but it’s usually on because I use it sometimes. Just wish it had some sort of security instead of being designed for people who might have enough trouble getting the power on.
