Classical body positivity rule

"Stomach rolls" That's just a stomach.

Stomachs can buckle like that when you bend, it's normal. If you're worried about that then society has got you paranoid.

If you're obese you're obese, but "stomach rolls" don't mean you're obese.

Leafo, the creator of itch.io, confirmed that they are planning to add umu integration to the itch app so Windows games can run through Proton instead of plain Wine.

Pooky, the creator of spoosh.wtf, confirmed they are adding lol integration to the sploosh app so buggers games can run through poggers instead of WAP.

Sometimes I wonder how the things we say sound to normal* people.

*Normal-type people include cashiers, grandmas, meowth, etc. Weak to fighting-type moves.

Google declares the end of the World Wide Web

Reply in thread

What?

Web results only? As compared to what? AI results? What's in the first tab? You're... searching the web for results. What else would be in the first tab??

Edit: I haven't used Google in a while. I just searched "who is Dr dre" on mobile. That's a lot of boxes. Wikipedia box, albums box, songs box, people also search for box, videos box, you really gotta scroll down before you get to the results. Google doesn't really link you to the answer anymore, it just answers you. Wow.

What self hosting feels like (It's painful, please help 🥲)

This reminds me of when I sent someone a program in a zip folder. Windows now opens zip folders by default, and it looks just like any other folder.

So of course they opened the zip and double clicked the exe, but everyone knows you can't open an exe inside a zip folder (at least, if the exe depends on the folders and files around it). If you try to, windows will extract the exe into a temp space, but leave all the dependencies behind. So the exe promptly crashes.

I didn't think I needed to specify "you need to extract the contents of the zip folder first, then run the exe." It feels like saying "you need to take the blender out of the box before you can use it. And not just the _base _ of the blender, you have to take out all the parts."

Some things just feel so much like second nature that we forget.

A faucet assembly contains nearly no screws.

Some may have a single hex screw holding it's handle in place. If the faucet has two knobs each knob may be held in place with a Phillips head screw.

But a flat head screw? Maybe to pry a cover off something, but for that you could just use a butter knife. Flat head screws are more commonly used on electrical faceplates and barely anywhere else.
