I’m currently reading A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, and though I know it’ll make me cry, it’s such a beautiful thing. It’s a story about the characters and their lives, which is something I’m often drawn to more than an exciting plot.

Also, it’s incredibly long, but is maintaining my attention, so it must be good.

@DJDarren oh god, I love films where nothing much happens and it’s all about the people. I wish this genre had a name!

I was just told I brush my teeth in the wrong temperature water. According to this person, I am a, "psycho" who chooses the wrong water temp.

I'm so curious now...which water temperature do you brush your teeth in?

Please boost for visibility. Thank you for your help!

@weezmgk @pilirin @mentallyalex I used to brush mine in warm when my teeth were sensitive until I thought about potential bugs in the water tanks. But actually I have a combi-boiler & no tank now so it probably doesn’t matter so much?

Just seen some NSFW content in my feed, which I don't really have a problem with, but I didn't recognise the poster and I don't specifically follow any NSFW tags.

Turns out they tag all of their audio porn with , which is somewhat the opposite of that thread...

@DJDarren do they also use any other tags, which you could mute?

What newspaper/news channel is good or bad?
When joined recently, I saw much moralisation around it. Personally, I think BBC's journalism standards have dropped a lot, but this is true around the world as puts pressure on media outlets to prize popularity & clickbait over real journalism. That said, no media is ever unbiased. I was a world news editor for a national paper for many years and had the pleasure to 1/3

@Aikiwomannc I can never do the “meanwhile” thing. I have to do all my prep up front otherwise I get too stressed and everything goes wrong!

    Repeated follows is antisocial behaviour, I have added a private note to your account and if you do it again, I’ll block you.

    @catnip@mastodon.online avatar

    @kevinteljeur I did wonder that, but I don’t think so. I recognised the server address from this culprit. If they do change server I presume I wouldn’t see my private note again, so hopefully that hack will work for me.

    I hope I'm not heading for some kind of low-key burnout.

    Not from work pressure, that's all fine and going well. Just from the erosion of things I used to take for granted, that has left me in a position where I seldom get a significant break from being in this place, this room, this chair, for years at a stretch.

    That, and the incessant rain, and staring down the barrel of a finite, enumerable number of years left in my life, is getting to me somewhat.

    @catnip@mastodon.online avatar

    @llamasoft_ox Hope you feel better soon. Just wanted to say that watching your daily live streams of the sheep feeding helped me through a tough breakup a few years ago, so thanks for that!

    People think Welsh spelling is somehow weird and incomprehensible but in fact even I as a Welsh learner can have a pretty good chance of spelling a Welsh word correctly if I hear it pronounced clearly.

    It actually makes a lot more sense than loads of English spelling! :baner:

    @llamasoft_ox People don’t realise that W and Y are vowels too.

    catnip,
    @catnip@mastodon.online avatar

    @llamasoft_ox I grew up in N Wales (Buckley), so learned Welsh at school until I was 14. My grammar never got to a high level, but I still remember a fair bit of vocabulary and how to pronounce things. Like you say, the pronunciation is quite consistent once you know the alphabet 🙂

    Why would you put a phone keypad layout on a self checkout cash register.

    catnip,
    @catnip@mastodon.online avatar

    @mwichary You mean the number pad to the right? Maybe the staff need to type in numeric passwords or serial numbers?

    @mwichary That’s got me wondering why phone and calculator keypads are different 🤔

    I wasn’t sure about this to start with (the “eeyah”s), but now I’m obsessed with it.
