Well @GothicHippi went out and came back with a flat cap for Charlie and I think he looks great

I had caught recommendation via @OldAintDead and was immediately drawn to it (without reading the review until after S1).

So far, two episodes into S2, I'm enjoying the characters, the world building, the absurdity of surviving in a , and the whole bunch of "yeah, I can totally see that happening." It's dark and hilarious, and I love it! 🖤

Hands-down, the most useful part of ChatGPT is translating the borderline incomprehensible English from our JIRA issues, written by SMEs who barely speak English, into something that I can actually read.

For this, I use a Raycast AI command with a pretty short prompt.

Works like a charm about 95% of the time.

@darth Nikad ne znam na kojem jeziku da pišem regionalnim ljudima jer sumnjam da će si ostali koji možda čitaju prevesti, a na engleskom im je lakše ubaciti se u diskusiju. Kad primijetim da ne trzaju na prirodne ljepote naših obalnih krajeva i kulinarske avanture, onda prebacim na domaći. 😁

@ScruffyDux @c_reider @actuallyautistic I'd also like to know if there's a method to evade thoughts when showering or walking.
So far I've had success with putting on something to watch on a tablet while doing the dishes and watching/listening ASMR before sleep.

Too much work almost made me forget it's @derthomas's . And since my energy levels are too depleted to dig out a fresher recommendation, you'll have to do with my favorite band of all times. 🤘😜

Someone asked me about my favorite film directors, and I've realized the list is way too white, hetero, and male!

So, if you have a suggestion about movies directed by, women, people of color, lgbtq+, please let me know. Suggestions of a good movie or two that represents their work well, would also be appreciated, thanks!

Although I don't listen to that much anymore, I like to be reminded now and then that still rips and remains one of my favorite bands that thanks to their melding of various styles had introduced me not only to thrash but , , , and metal as well.

Heute beim Hausarzt, STI-Test angefragt. Wie funktionierts, wie lange dauerts, wie viel kostet das?

Er: "Warum willste denn das wissen?"

Ich: "Naja, ist doch gut, sowas abzusichern, oder? HIV, Syphilis etc?"

Er (scheinbar aus dem Nichts): "Also, in normalen HeTeRo-BeZiEhUnGeN musste Dir über sowas ja keinen Kopf machen."

Ich (ganz schnell merkend daß nix Helfendes zu erwarten ist): "...aha, jadankeauchfürdieKrankschreibung, tschüss."

@Eisentukan WTF?! GPs here are mostly shitty, but this is new level of bleh and disappointment. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I hope there are places where you can go do whatever test you need that are more welcoming (and happier to take your money). I would have probably replied to the GP that "mY pRiEsT dEmAnDs It." 💩

@loshmi @Eisentukan Hahahaha, the tragic comedy of the world we live in. I still can't believe that my backward country may have a better network of public health institutes and facilities where you can (depending on where you live, of course) even get tested anonymously, without prescription, and for free.

@grryboy I gave up on Picard after S1 and may pick it up when I've got nothing else to watch. 😅
has been a rather refreshing "return to good ol' ," fun but poignant, with some wonderfully explored themes in this season. It totally makes up for a hit&miss that's been , the only thing I'm slightly missing in SNW is a bit more queerness.

Finally, a story about Fediver(i)se is published. Latest issue of ++Mag is now free to download at https://www.klika.us/klika-magazin-third-edition/.

This article is my humble effort to promote the Fediverse ideas in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Kudos to my man @thomas for providing insights into his Fediverse and Mastodon path. Glad I'm able to mention Metalhead.club to mainstream audiences. 🧵 /1

@sharan @loshmi Mislim da je 90% ako ne i više fedi servera uključujući i regionalne sadržajno previše niche i slaba bi publika bili za uobičajeno balkansko shitpostanje s Twittera. 🙈 Plus fediverse ispada ko' neki toxic positivity hub u usporedbi s tvitovima čak i ljudi koje znam uživo. Nekako većinu njih ne mogu zamisliti da bi se snašli ovdje. 😐

I accidentally wandered to a part of social media with straight people memes, and I refuse to believe that cishet men are unable to do groceries, are completely devoid of basic life skills and women find it cute.

@reginasbread @jules It's real and it's not cute, and their mothers and wives should be deprogramed.

@meansofescape@metalhead.club avatar

@reginasbread @jules Nope, it's alive, well, and making a fucking comeback through various means, even the reality TV. 🤢 I applaud all wives that have not succumbed to the imposed gender roles, freed themselves of unpaid labor, and managed to undo the "traditional" upbringing of their husbands. The rest can go fuck themselves.🖕

I'm not gonna join Threads.

Fuck Zuckerberg and everything he touches.

But what if Threads kills Masto and this place empties and becomes irrelevant?

Don't I want to be where all the people have gone?

Nope.

I don't care. I'd rather have zero social media than Zuckerberg.

Sure, I love Mast at the moment but if it went, I'd survive.*

I miss the vibrant place uk.music.alternative used to be in the late '90s but it's okay, life goes on!

I done a review of SNW S2E3:

@Jyoti I absolutely LOVE your reviews and this one was superb! ❤️ I've always watched (and liked) Star Trek because of "socialist utopia" and because many of its characters and story arcs were ahead of its time (I've always loved Voyager). I'm more than thrilled that SNW is also becoming one of my favorites because the last two episode had me in tears. 🥹
