  • I don’t like sugar as much as most seem to, based on a lot of foods. I like some, but much lower totals. Unsweet pancakes with a sweet sauce or topping sounds great.

    Even granola is usually too sweet for me. The Muesli I sometimes find at Aldi has 6g per serving, while the granola I get usually has 14g or so, and I much prefer the Muesli. I think 10g or less is ideal, and I can add honey or sugar or some fruit/dried fruit if I need more.






  • Before full touch screens came out I bought a small windows CE full screen device and put a few videos on it on a card (can’t recall if it was sd or something more primitive) and watched anime in between calls at work.

    I always wanted this, and phones getting better at it just meant less devices. I am partial to phablets and fold phones because I like to read books,light novels,and manga on a bigger screen while being portable. I have in the past used both a tablet and phone before I got my fold, and when the inside screen of my fold failed after a couple years I am now back at both until I can afford a replacement.

    I know not everyone wants this, but that’s why we have options, and dumb/feature phones can still be purchased, even from large carriers (though price of plan may be wasted on those). These memes act like there are only smartphones now, but dumbphones were always an option.

    Lots of people suffer far more discrimination for having non standard names. There have been studies showing a name can lose you a job opportunity, and I’ve been discriminated for my name since middle school. My name is Chatoyer, a French name pronounced with a sh sound.

    So I’ve heard shit used instead, I’ve heard people confused by the shorted version sounding like shat, and at one job where they tried to send me to a customer onsite, when he heard my name he yelled "The hell kinda name is that?!"and hung up, losing the company business (good riddance though).

    Get over it. Karen’s have it easy.






  • But… I am clearly out of shape. Not the worst shape, mind you, but obviously not an athlete. Climbing for me, which I do enjoy, but haven’t really done since covid.

    I mostly bike ride for exercise, but don’t think I’m an in shape looking cyclist or anything. It’s an bike, and while I do usually vary between weakest assist and sometimes none, I got nothing on even semiserious cyclists.






  • One of the coworkers quickest to get kinda yelly about his opinions at work was a genx guy (older than me) who had very strong “classical liberal” opinions as well as the typical belief that he was being logical, not emotional, as he raised his voice while talking to us about policies he didn’t agree with. He also had the typical misogynistic view that he was rational while women were emotional. One time he and I were getting a little heated in a shared discord chat and a mutual friend who was the admin muted both of us.

    I told the friend something like “fair, you did try to change the subject and we ignored you, my bad.” The older guy got super pissed someone controller his speech and he left the discord forever.

    I’ve also seen my uncle get butthurt that I tried to meditate a discussion between him and my sister (she requested my help because he and my aunt would just both say their side against her and not let them talk.) I mostly just stopped them from interrupting each other and asked them to let the other person speak, and I did it both to my sister and my aunt and uncle.

    They later complained about being told what to do in their own house.

    While young people can be impulsive and judgy, I find that age does not always fix that. The people it doesn’t fix get entitled and think their age justifies their beliefs and that they’re automatically wiser than you.
