I’m fairly tech savvy, still on my Xr and feel no reason to change. Battery will probably be the deciding factor before anything else.

I ❤️ Beri. Please make sure Beri has an ample supply of scritches.

And XMB was their last good interface design. Each one since just gets progressively more wtf.

Go on…

Why don’t they just make the whole plane planet out of the black box paint.

You rock, thank you!

So how do I actually opt out? My website is just some personal hobby stuff on wordpress that only friends and family look at, I don’t need seo.

As an old cat adopter I want to add one thing to this. Yes, it hurts to lose them when their time comes, but something I didn’t expect is that after the mourning I’ve always started to feel a sense of urgency to find the next old timer to rescue. I’ll remember the time and love I had from the ones before and I curse how much time was wasted while they waited in a shelter for someone to come for them. Why couldn’t I have found them sooner? They deserved so much more love and comfort, where the hell was I? Then we go out and find our new friends that have been waiting for us for so long and our family gets better again.

It’s always tough knowing that our time with them is short, but that’s true of any animal relationship. In the end we’re left with the love for them which in my experience never diminishes. We may say more tearful goodbyes when connecting with the old ones, but over time the wonderful memories and love in our lives just accumulates more and more.

I agree the responsibility (and occasional expense) of caring for older animals is not always in everyone’s capabilities, but I implore you not to avoid considering welcoming one (or more) into your life solely because of aversion to the pain that comes from losing them. The love they give outweighs it a thousandfold.

I’m tech support for my family and this comment gave me Pre-Tramautic Stress Syndrome.

Nooooo, was just watching Future Imperfect with a friend the other day and when she showed up I was like, “Yaaaay, Nurse Ogawa!” and then found out while cehcking Memory Alpha afterwards that that ep was actually her first appearance. For a character with so little screentime, I always really liked her and wish we’d seen more of her. RIP Patti, we’ll raise a glass in Ten Forward to ye!

Listening now with morning coffee, quite a pleasant start to the morning I don’t mind saying.

I love this comment so effing much! ❤️

Fantastic! Surely Paramount will realize the gold they have and back their content creators with resources to produce more, right? 😭

That Janeway sticker is melting my heart! If this isn’t added as a default emoji in the new iOS, Tim Cook is going to get a sternly worded letter from me!

Sorry, baby. No one rules the Tom Monster!

Yikes! Yeah, that’s messed up. Thanks for the info!

I’m out of the loop, what did Better Help do?

Good question. It’s been a while since I asked someone so forgive me if my memory is a little off, but if I recall the reasoning is that when sushi became big in the Edo era it was eaten by hand because it would fall apart easier. But times change and as techniques got better and you could eat it with chopsticks, that became the more ‘proper’ thing to do. Keep in mind that in izakaya (like a Japanese pub) people will even eat French fries with chopsticks - it’s just the thing to do (again, unless it’s super informal with friends and people are starting to get tipsy and then they may start snacking by hand bc they just can’t be bothered lol).

So I guess the reasoning is that the super high class joints pride themselves on their heritage and the “way it used to be done“ rather than worrying about modern sensibilities.

All that said, the best advice is watch what people around you are doing in a situation and follow their lead. That’ll usually keep you in pretty good graces. :)

This is legit the funniest video on YT.
