@captain_mrs Even numbers are clearly much sharper than odd ones. I am baffled that people might consider otherwise.

what's your closest gender | are even numbers kiki and odd numbers bouba, or are odd numbers kiki and even numbers bouba

@captain_mrs But but but how do I calibrate? What is the correct amount of thing, if not all of the thing? How can I go as hard as I possibly can at doing the thing in moderation!?

have you considered doing the thing but, like, a little and gently, not *as hard as you can possibly do the thing*

@captain_mrs FWIW both the Android Mastodon apps I use support multiple accounts, and if your accounts are on different Mastodon servers, you'll get completely separate web interfaces for each one, too.

the thing keeping me on twitter is quick-switching between multiple identities. i can't move in anywhere else and keep this number of masks

Birds are fed by their parents in their infancy. When the time comes to feed themselves, there can be some confusion when the food does not go into their mouth by itself. (via @MeteoBarrufet)

@ethomson @1Password Surprised to see so few recommendations for KeePass/KeePassXC. Combined with OneDrive (or your preferred other cloud storage provider) it has all the features I've ever needed without being tied to any particular system or infrastructure.

I've been a loyal @1Password user for years... but it really went from best in class to frustratingly, terribly, barely usable in a single release. Desperately hoping that they turn this around. If not, what's the best alternative in 2022?

@captain_mrs Eggs cooked beyond the absolute bare minimum are the wrong texture. Which means I can play the autism card and this is ablism.

being obsessed with not over-cooking eggs is racist I will not be elaborating further

@captain_mrs I definitely remember hearing an anecdote about a kid with autism-aware parents, whose psych said they believed the kid was autistic, but kid didn't yet meet the diagnostic criteria because they were insufficiently traumatised, so they should come back after a few years of school

spicy take about adhd diagnosis so the diagnostic criteria are not just symptoms but also the *level of impairment* this basically selects for diagnosing people with trauma losing keys and being fine = not impaired losing keys, getting triggered and freaking out = impaired

#GoogleWorkspaces legacy no-cost option available *tomorrow* according to Google support. FAO @RonAmadeo

Tech nerd problems: spend an hour trying to identify the unexpected device my router says is connected to my Wi-Fi. Turns out it was my watch.

@RoyalMailHelp Scammers at skywaiker.com are claiming to be @RoyalMail @RoyalMailStamps and advertising on @facebookapp at facebook.com/Royalmail-Home… and facebook.com/permalink.php?…. Can't find any better way to report this to Royal Mail, so I'm letting you know here!

Unusual balance transfer security checks: Q:Have you received any suspicious messages or calls about this transfer? A:Yes! You sent me a text message, which you've now confirmed as legit, but which asked me to contact you using a number that isn't on your website! #securityfail

@captain_mrs Tell me you have ADHD without &c &c

I can only drink coffee on weekend days when I don't want to achieve anything

I had one real coffee lmao I'm so spaced out right now

@hex Foobar2000 is what I've used for this purpose

@thegabecole "we can't wear masks forever" comes from exactly the same place as "you don't want to be taking that medication forever. Why *wouldn't* I want to keep doing the thing that improves my life massively!? It's ablist as all hell.

@alexwlchan Oh wow you look amazing!

@Kaiyalai @cnlester @SecretTrashlyn Not any more you don't, at least in England. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-604671…

@cnlester @SecretTrashlyn …but you do have to isolate when you have COVID.

@noperocket I mean, I'm fairly sure that's entirely standard for the vast majority of Twitter users...

Just clicked on my twitter profile, shocked to find a grand total of three (3) retweets in the past month. Last word from me was on a quote-tweet from 7 Nov, and last actual tweet in late Sept. This is so out of balance with how many hours I have spent staring at this app.

Omg

@RockLeeSmile @TheChefMoist @jjmsteen @maltron3D UK Govt wanted to be free from EU rules. For NI to have different rules, there would need to be checks at the border between NI and RoI, which would probably trigger civil war. So NI mostly follows EU rules, UK Govt can only change GB rules, and the border is between GB and NI.

@TheChefMoist @jjmsteen @maltron3D I appreciate your reply but that isn't quite what I was getting at. From my perspective I was confused at the lack of drawing of a line between NI and RoI when it comes to EU policies. Usually NI always goes with GB in those matters as I understand.
