I am 30 or 40 years old and I do not need this.

  • What tv show has the best theme song?

  • Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 26th April 2026

  • Semi-topical, there's a new Local 58 and even the moon demon hates AI, I guess.

  • How do I drink more water?

    Jump

  • Not enough to be an issue unless you already have diabetes or another blood sugar problem.

  • Dysphagia, maybe?

  • Why do we dance and hop when we desperately need to go number 1?

    Jump

  • What band did you hear one song of, check the rest of their music, and find it was a one-off and none of their other music sounds like that?

    Jump

  • What is an old movie that couldn't be made today?

    Jump

  • If you have a Nebula subscription, Lindsay Ellis has a fascinating video about Blazing Saddles and why it really couldn't be made today, but not for the reasons you'd think; it has more to do with the history of the Western genre and the state of race relations in the US than "political correctness." I wish she'd put it on Youtube.

    So I guess that's my roundabout answer: any movie that "couldn't be made today" is probably because of larger social forces than just "too much swearing/violence/nudity/etc."

    MAGA Indians Went All In on Trump. Many Right-Wingers Can’t Stand Them

  • Caitlyn Jenner asks Trump for help after impact of trans passport policy

    Jump

  • Still best practice to use current name unless the person has specified otherwise.

  • Caitlyn Jenner asks Trump for help after impact of trans passport policy

    Jump

  • IMO, best practice is still to use the current name/pronouns. I think it's OK to say something like "Caitlyn, formerly known as Bruce" if clarity is needed and then proceed with current name going forward. In this instance, everyone knew who we were talking about so it was unnecessary.

  • NSFW

    What makes a vagina better than the penis?

    Jump

  • As someone who's used both, I think men's and women's restrooms are equally gross overall. Humans is humans, bodies is bodies, grossness doesn't discriminate, etc.

  • Oat milk w/ coffee: ya or na?

    Jump

  • I find regular oat milk and/or almond milk too watery, same as you. Oat milk or almond milk-based creamers are where it's at for me. Califia Farms also makes a "barista blend" oat milk specifically for coffee drinks if you can find it.

  • Downvoted for deadnaming someone. It'd be a decent joke otherwise.

  • [QUESTION] What are your favorite vegetarian meals?

    Jump

  • Website recommendation: Cookie and Kate. Generally pretty easy recipes and I haven't been disappointed yet. The Vegan Lasagna is a lot of work but 100% worth it.

    Book recs: Moosewood Simple Suppers and Weeknight One-Pot Vegan Cooking. I checked the latter out from the library and liked so many of the recipes that I immediately bought a copy. And I actually made one of ny faves out of the Moosewood book last night: Lemony Couscous with Chickpeas. I like to cut the couscous down to one cup and throw an extra can of chickpeas in, but it's good as-written too.

  • Samsung is shutting down SMS/RCS — is the a good alternative to Google's messenger?

    Jump

  • There's a fork of QKSMS called Quik SMS that's still being developed! That's what I use now.

  • I grew up in Florida but I haven't lived there in a long time and I had a visceral fear reaction to just reading the words "palmetto bugs." AUGH.

  • Why sometimes Linux is hard to switch to

    Jump

  • I see people recommending Debian but you also said you enjoy tinkering, so I'd recommend SpiralLinux. It's basically Debian but it uses BTRFS so you can roll back to a previous snapshot if you break something. I don't think Spiral has updated to Trixie yet so you'd need to manually upgrade but that's not too big a hassle if you do it immediately.

  • Hi, I would like one Linux, please

    Jump

  • So the NVIDIA graphics card is not as big of an issue as it would have been even five years ago. Just use the proprietary drivers. And for my money, Linux Mint is the best distro for beginners, hands-down. You never have to touch the command line and everything just works.
