Because they don't care about "life".
They care about punishing people.

Ripping me out of my forced hyperfocus absolutely infuriates me. I worked very very very very very very hard to get into a mindset that will allow me to work, and it is so fragile.. please do not interrupt if I ask you not to.

I absolutely LOVE the original Subnautica, but was frustrated with Below Zero. I've posted multiple rants about it on Lemmy before.
Already skeptical about this game because it looks like it has
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler two characters instead of one :::
.
A big appeal of the first game was the isolation you felt, and the struggle to find life and accomplish gargantuan tasks.
Cautiously optimistic for this installment.
Please don't have any characters yap & quip throughout this one, god, please!

Thank you! My old coworkers were all JW, but I forgot the word and used the protestant equivalent.

Stylists are typically women or gay men.
Considering what kind of person he is, neither would want to be anywhere near him.

You can also chase them off your property by saying you've been excommunicated, and they'll never come back.

I was not at all trying to be snarky in any possible way. I guess I should have been more clear in saying what I really meant: women would probably understand this more clearly than others. My apologies if I seemed like I was trying to upset you in anyway. Tone is weird through text.
But here's the confirmation: https://feddit.uk/comment/12718867

Considering the specific context, that's what makes it very not-so-ambiguous.
And I'm sure folks that identify a specific way would also agree.
Plus, the OP confirmed it. 🕵️♂️🕵️♀️

The reason for the common cold being so prevalent in cold weather is because of the cold.
My theory is that cold temperatures best suit the incubation of the germs. You are especially susceptible at night, when you can't control your breath enough to keep your nose/nostrils warm. Warm face/nose at night = you won't catch a cold.
I'm absolutely convinced of this theory. I've tested ways to keep my face/nose warm at night, and it seems to test very solidly (and I get sick very very easily). Once my room gets too chilly, I'll inevitably wake up with a cold.
EDIT: let me have the smallest conspiracy theory in the world, thank you.

They're not touchy.
They're cautious, because that phrase is often used unironically and they don't tolerate that shit here.
And good for them.

Hey. I understand that maybe you're unaware of the nuance behind this. Almost all massive producers of chocolate rely of human exploitation and slavery to get their chocolate. Many "workers" are also young children. People need to know this.
I know that it seems like people might just be out to "spoil the fun", but the more you know about a product and how it is produced, you can make decisions about your consumption.
I've made decisions like purchasing the majority of my clothing secondhand, avoiding N×stlè products, cutting much of my meat consumption, etc. because I'm faced with the reality that my choices affect the lives around me, even if I do not see the impact directly.
It's upsetting to hear about the reality of things like this, but it's very very important to be informed. I do not want to simply consume a product if I know that it is actively harming lives and/or contributing to human suffering. If that means avoiding certain chocolate bars, so be it. I hope that someone would do the same for me, too, if I were in such a position.
Beautiful creature.
I am not a tech person, but I cleaned out my secondhand PC today, and it took *hours* with the sheer amount of dust accumulation. The fans were nearly overloaded with it!! Does a clean PC run better / faster than one filled with dust? Or is it more a matter of keeping the fans running easily? Or something else..? Idk, maybe I imagined it, but it seemed to boot *much* faster after cleaning. Could be wishful thinking!
I'm in need of more images ~~to steal~~ to collect. Please post your favorites! Make sure you put questionable/NSFW behind spoilers, please. Also, where do your images come from? Mine came mostly from 4ch×n, D×scord, and R×ddit (which I no longer use). Here's some of mine:     My absolute favorite: 
And only *sometimes.* Before people start asking in the comments, the website is a niche fashion archive.
Every time I go outside to my yard, my elderly neighbor comes out and tries to talk with me. Every. Single. Time. Without fail. I go out to relax and do gardening and yard work, and his presence makes me increasingly anxious & leaves me feeling particularly uncomfortable/unsafe. He is dealing with dementia, and has become increasingly vulgar and outspoken, and even made some vastly inappropriate remarks about his wife & my other neighbor *while my child was right there.* His wife is tired. I know this. Christ, I would be, too. He was kind of insufferable even before the dementia got bad (think him talking about his shitty political views), but, god.. I am *so* tired of babysitting him while I try to unwind *in my own yard.* He'll talk over the fence or simply waltz past it and follow me around while I try to do stuff or as I'm trying to talk to my kid. One thing I know is this: *do not piss off your neighbors*, because, chances are, you will probably be living next to them for a looooong time. What can I do? I just want peace without feeling like I'm being accosted.
Always wondered what happened to them. So happy they're safe & sound!

Let me recommend: Bill's Hot Dog Stand in Ypsilanti. It's a drive-in. Open your window and eat in the parking lot. Get their dogs with everything on it + a mug of root beer. If you don't eat dogs, at *least* get the root beer!!! I don't even *like* root beer that much, but I now *dream* about the root beer from Bill's. Absolute reasonable prices, too: got 4 dogs & 2 mugs of root beer for around 10$ total! What's *your* recommendation for unexpectedly good food in Michigan?
The noise scared my lizard something frightful! Everyone was okay and no one was badly injured. Except for a patch of my lilies. But they're pretty resilient.

Taken between June 5th - June 10th, 2024, Michigan. Not a professional photo in any sense. Apologies for that. But I saw this grumpy-looking little guy/gal in a bush and took a photo from a distance away. Wanted to share it, even if it's not as good as any of the other photos posted here. One of the babies I've been observing since the nest was built above my deck. It was fascinating to see them grow up & finally leave the nest! All 4 are finally gone. I wish them the best in their growth and hope they are able thrive safely.
My cat passed away around 2 years ago now. I miss him a lot, but just haven't been financially stable enough to adopt another. Could you post nice stories and funny things about your cat(s) and talk about how much you love them? Thank you!
How much time have you spent being single? If you're currently single: is it by choice or circumstance? Do you / did you enjoy single life? What are / were the pros and cons? Is / was partnership a goal of yours? If you're currently not single: Did your goals change after getting into a relationship? What are the pros and cons?
Refrigerator is a Frigidaire LTFR1832TF0. Leak came from the front-right side. I did not notice any temperature fluctuations, but I also don't notice much of anything. It still seemed cold when I unplugged it, though! Checked the drain pan & it seems dry? Not overflowing or anything. No water on inside of refrigerator. Anyone have any idea what might be going on? I'd really appreciate it, as no one can take a look for another 3 days. I don't want my food to spoil, as I don't have a lot of money. I just want to know if it'd be safe to plug it back in! Thank you. **EDIT:** had my BIL stop by to take a look. More than likely it's refrigerant. The compressor was fine, but one of the lines on it would not get cold, so that's that. Probably a leak in the line, more than likely from a failed seal. The cost to refill the refrigerant / repair the line / seal would cost waaaaay more than a new fridge, unfortunately. Thanks, y'all. Appreciate the help and advice.

Seagulls are protected under the "Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918". This means that it is illegal to capture, kill, or keep a seagull in your home (unless you have a special permit). So, no: you *cannot* go into the Meijer parking lot, yoink a seagull from the flock, and take it home. *This PSA has been brought to you by an argument with my son during a grocery pick-up.* Thank you.
I'm new to colitis, but was diagnosed with ischemic colitis last year for the first time after a hospital visit. Well, it happened again yesterday. I'm still mostly unfamiliar with the whole thing, but it absolutely sucks. Question: how long does it take to stop shitting straight blood? This sucks. Thanks. **EDIT:** Seems to have stopped almost exactly 24 hours after it started. Cool. The pain becomes mild discomfort and minor cramping around the 48 hour mark. **EDIT 2:** Watermelon will save you life for both food *and* hydration. But dumb fuck that I am, I felt the dire need for chips and salsa con queso today. It's like I never learn! Fuckin' idiot....
I head up a small community for fans of a niche indie brand. The founder is doing an event in Japan with an exclusive item for people who attend! I was so excited and was looking into booking a plane ticket to go! However.. turns out that Japan has a law that *absolutely forbids* stimulant medication in the country. And, no, I don't really want to upend my regimen of 8 years and risk going on a new medication for the trip. I'm really shattered, as I wanted to attend this cool event and meet up with other enthusiasts. It really hurts to be barred from an opportunity like this. I hate ADHD. I really do.
My recommendation is a small thing: a trashcan with a swinging lid! Covers the trash, reduces smells, will prevent trash tetris (sometimes), and very good instead of foot-pedal opening trash cans or trash cans put in a cupboard. Another thing are toothbrush holders that stick to mirrors. Might jog that memory of needing to brush your teeth! Wall-mounted keyholder by your door, too. Anything I put on a flat surface will eventually be lost or covered with more junk & papers. My keys are WALL-ONLY!!! What item(s) have helped you with *your* struggles?
