The sidebar shows that 90 people have subscribed to images of mythical animals being medicated.

Yeah, it’s one of those weird questions that you don’t know if it’s social (“eh, fine”) or clinical (“well, my lower back’s been hurting ever since I turned 30, but that’s not why I’m here. I’m here because tripped, fell face-into-arm, and bit myself and the internet tells me I need a tetanus shot, but now I’m worried you’ll put me down for ‘self-harm’ and have me involuntarily committed and oh no did I say that out loud?”).

Tbh, I’m surprised that community is about trees. I was expecting an r/marijuanaenthusiasts situation.

I debated adding a picture of my dog, but that felt like a bit much. Also, I never spent time on forums that allowed images in .sigs . They looked nightmarish.

They get really repetitive and don’t add much to the conversation.

It’s not easy getting a pill down an unwilling animal’s throat.

I think near-universal unlimited texting is a fairly new (last decade) thing. Take a look at this 2008 CNET article: https://www.cnet.com/culture/the-rising-cost-of-texting/ . They’re talking about a cost increase, but acting like paying is to be expected.

Around 2010. This is in the US.

Not true. When I first got my cell phone I was charged for sms texts, both sending and receiving.

Have you tried the “turn all your clothes hangers around so they hang backwards, then get rid of anything that’s still wrong ways around after X time” trick?

Yeah, me, too. I just ended up with wonky hangers and an attachment to the stuff I never wore because I kept checking the hangers and seeing it.

A lovely southern USA gentleman showed me how to rejigger the video cable in my laptop (it had gotten pinched and was flickering intermittently). He also gently chidded the other video showing how to take apart the same laptop for doing it the hard way. The other video was a wonderful descent into cursing.

It’s a rough world out there. Let them enjoy childhood while they can!

(swapping apps) Liftoff seems to show username@non-local-instances by default, but omits the instance if the user is on your instance.

I didn’t find anything helpful in Jerboa for this use case.

In connect there is an option to always show the instance.

Thank you for contact Grysbok. I hope this message finds you in good health. I am currently out of the office pursuing other normal human pursuits. Please leave a message after the beep. Beep, dial tone

I do have shoes! How did you know? I wear them sometimes when I am inside and my feet hands are cold. They are fluffy and maroon. I got them from [insert store name here]. I got a good deal! You can get a good deal, too, if you use my offer code [insert offer code here] to get up to 15% off. Try it today!

Hello, fellow normal human-type person. It is pleasant to engage in average human behavior with other humans. Imagine that I am petting a dog because I have a dog in my lap and am petting him.

I used it. I don’t remember if my first jabber account was on Google or not, but I used the pidgin IM client to communicate with friends on ICQ, Gchat, AOL, and IRC. Then when Google removed jabber support I couldn’t use my pidgin to connect to my Gchat anymore.

Brilliant! Thank-you.

I have the strong urge to stick my tongue out at you. Because I’m a grown ass-adult and it’s past my bedtime.

My only complaint with Connect is that I’m using the dark theme, and so having a big white “refreshed” bar show up when I pull down my feed is jarring. I like jerboa’s cute spinny wheel better.

But, if that’s my biggest complaint ¯\(ツ)/¯
