I’ve recently read about it, and it seems straight forward....

Say hypothetically I’ve already shot my shot and was shot down, how would I go about getting over this (without rebounding to other people or whatever)?...

They’re semi-famous now, but it was actually a friend of mine who originally wrote them. They’re a list of ten rules of thumb to go by when using the internet. They imply things like the potential drawbacks of assuming someone’s other identities, how to caution against archive forgery, when the best time is to complain...

I got my hearing professionally checked today and all is normal. But I have difficulty hearing people I am dining with, talking in restaurants. Is it me, or is the music just too damn loud?!

Are you radically different than your younger self? Are there key elements that have stayed the same? Most parts? Do you feel as if you've followed the "roadmap of life" or forged your own path? Have there been "chapters" or do things all sort of slide into one contiguous flow? Share what you'd like!

I’m having a hell of a time with my current ISP (sitting at 18 days now without a connection) and I’m having to bite my tongue every time I’m talking to them (Remember The Human and all that)...

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I need some advice. Tomorrow at 16:00 I need to pee into a cup at the doctor’s office for a drug test and I am a very shy pee-er. Should I hold my morning pee from 8:00 to 16:00 to make sure I have enough of it or should I pee as soon as I wake up and drink water throughout...

I travel a lot, and talk to a lot of different people. I’ve noticed that while people certainly do have differing opinions, it’s not as extreme as what I see online. I’m starting to feel like all this hate and division is manufactured. Has anyone else noticed, that when you actually talk to real people things are far less...

For me, when I get books I often get the cheaper paperback option, give it a read....

While I was documenting myself to create a romantic work between two women, I made a little detour and read a Manga (Love Hurts, by Kiriko Nananan) that made me wonder if the idea I initially had for my story is too idealistic to the point of bordering on childish. It’s just that the manga portrays interpersonal relationships...

order more of something that doesn sell ....

For example, I opt out of all emails from a website. A year later they make a new newsletter and auto subscribe all to it....

I want to buy a laptop for a few purposes, not my main laptop:...

Okay, this is like a tech support kinda question but idk where the hell to ask it so I am gunna ask it here. My old keyboard died a couple of days ago. Just gave up the ghost, and I cursed the gods and got out my bluetooth keyboard. I had been using my lappy exclusively (so not using an external keyboard) but hooked it up to my...

I’m stuck at a crossroads between what to do with my own. Not sure if I want to make it more of a documentation/wiki style site for everything I’m interested in or if I want to treat it more like a blog. I’ve got it hooked up to ActivityPub now and I’m intrigued by the possibilities that brings to the table, but I...

I am wondering what it is like to be a ghost or to experience reality without a physical body like the people who have died or live in haunted houses. Some people describe it as relaxing and other people say it’s scary or unfulfilling if they did not accomplish things they wanted. If you guys have ever died or are currently...

How do I remove hexbear posts from my feed on sync?

Every time someone mentions an interesting book, I make a note of it. Then a couple times a month, I go back through my notes, pop open a website that shall not be named, snag em all, throw them into calibre-web and sync them down to my ereader. I can get hours of enjoyment from a 1-2MB file, and I love that. Same for older...
