Apathy Tree
I aim to be more human. I aim to be less apathetic as a human. Apathy grows, like a tree, and I aim to prune my own.

I’m genuinely both surprised and excited that this ended up being two women.

I’ve heard it’s good but I legitimately can’t find anything but news videos when I go looking (I don’t use any music handler platforms)
Depends how you make it. I use medium for my French press.
This came up as a plot point in some other animated show, and for the life of me I can’t figure out what it was…
Like the realization that they were hurting so many people so they could survive and save the world or whatever it was… and it just killed them inside…
(And I’m fairly certain I’m not thinking of Rick and Morty, although that does sort of happen as well… and I don’t think it was bojack horseman either…)

This is really neat! I guess I didn’t realize JWST was doing planet hunting.
Apathy Tree@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You're asked to vote for the food and drink that best fits the region you live in... What would you vote for?English7·17 days agoCheese and beer. No contest. Everyone would.
This reminds me of a minor plot point from “if I pay thee not in gold”, a book I read many many years ago that helped form some of my moral framework. Imho, go read it, it isn’t -that good- as it’s rather superficial and they could have done a fuckton of more interesting shit with the way that universe works, but it also isn’t that long; couple hundred pages in big font like my copy, and it’s about women with magic! But only conjuration magic. And only women, for very specific, logical, and understandable plot reasons that don’t make a person want to hurl! And it’s largely about personal growth due to sex with demons!
Anyway, because they can conjure things and then dismiss them at will, the poor quarters bars are all conjured alcohol, so if any problems arise they can instantly sober up their patrons.
In hell you use a tv remote with a gyro pointer and on-screen keyboard. And it has a slight, but random, delay.
How do I know this is torture? My partner has one and because it feeds through multiple devices, it has a slight but random delay. And it’s the most frustrating experience of all time. Souls-like games on nightmare are likely less frustrating (and this comes from someone who can’t finish any of them on the lowest difficulty).
Buy some decent, quiet, pc fans and sew a wrap-around sheet, with holes at the foot end just for the small fans to nestle into. The idea is you lay on the bottom part, the top part is over you with whatever other light blankets, and the fans are by your feet, ideally one for each side with an on/off switch. They blow cool air into the sheets and help evaporate moisture. It’s the same idea as a lot of very expensive machines.
Build a small frame to securely hold the fans, ensure no obstructions, and hold the end of the airflow sheet, put the power supply somewhere far away, and you’ve basically built a $400+ cooling bed.
What pieces do I need to build this?
Color doesn’t matter just tell me the bits plz.
My parents sort of did this to me for a while… I did get some books I ended up really liking this way but we also lived way out in the country so getting to a library was difficult. Didn’t have much choice but to try them.
But then they realized I was well beyond kids/young adult books and started giving me books they liked when I was in 5th grade, like sphere and the third pandemic… my teachers thought it was super weird, and I got a lot of negative comments about age appropriate-ness, but I had a dictionary and undiagnosed autism (diagnosed adhd, though), it was fine.
I was so excited when we moved and I was walking distance from a library. I ended up getting 2 library cards so I could reserve a bunch of stuff and still check out 5 at a time (I was there usually twice a week, and would just burn through books at around 1,000 pages a day, because it was all I ever did)
You… toast it and then egg wash it, and then eat it without cooking the egg…?
I mean that sounds nasty af to me, but you do you :)

Well good thing I learned brail
I’ve been invited on a few cruises.
I was in the navy, and immediately launch into a tirade about how top heavy and unsafe those things are.
“Well it’s never been a problem for us”
Okie dokie, I took statistics, so hard pass all the same :)
Apathy Tree@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How would you spread an infectious disease via the internet?English3·1 month agoNeed to throw in some viral stupidity like licking toilet seats and tampering with food and stuff.
I had a diskman when they were dying to pure MP3 players.
It was an ATRAK3 plus (a proprietary compression format) and CD player combo that came with software to burn whole libraries on standard CDs, complete with folders and everything.
It was cool as hell, a built-in an/fm tuner, and I used it for work for years along with a single rewritable cd. I had different folders for different languages and genres and shit.
You can buy them on eBay now for like $30, which ironically is more than I paid for it in 2002-4 or whatever it was, however the software to convert to the ATRAK3 plus format was super super hard to find even in the early naughties, unless you have the installer disc.
They should have put one of those into the museum. Would have been way cooler and more informative and shit
Apathy Tree@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•What is the cutoff distance when you point and say [thing] is "here" or [thing] is "there"?English5·1 month agoIn some English dialects, we have a middle distance indicator for those sort of… ambiguous distances.
We have:
This here
That there
And we have “just over there”.
If someone said the third option, you’d know it wasn’t far by the use of “just”, but also not close enough to count as here, even if it’s not technically formal language.
Some dialects also have an additional category to indicate things so far you can’t see them, like “over yonder”
So just an absolute rage of hormones and oxytocin? Sounds miserable to me, but I’m ace-aro so what do I know?
You can get an oxytocin nasal spray, right now, to enhance your bonding if you so choose.
