There is still something weird about Threads. The most insipid accounts get thousands of followers, and the most vapid posts get as much traction as they did on Twitter. I can’t get any traction there at all. The most pedestrian stuff I post here, Sky, or even on Twitter can get at least a respectable response. On Threads, almost nothing. Nada. Zip.

How much alone time vs socializing do you need?

For me there are a few people who are usually equalizing, and I can just be around them, so I won't count that. But generally, I find about 3 times a week, I'm game for socializing. A day in between to rest is usually nice, but the larger the gathering or if we go somewhere particularly noisy or I'm meeting new people that involves more effort, and my social battery empties sooner. I'm very curious where everyone else falls on this!

@RickiTarr Living with my husband is socializing. I see neighbors, and actually volunteer with people, but mostly keep to myself. Dunno, just my normal.

Have y'all ever had someone act like you were hurting them somehow by just liking a food?

Any time I buy or make kimchi, my Mom says it's so gross and she doesn't want any and just on and on. I never offer it to her, or make group food with it, but for some reason she seems offended by it, and I don't know why.

@RickiTarr Kimchi is fcking gorgeous. Ok, ignore her. Do you go the whole route with napa cabbage and ginger, anchovies, hot red peppers, etcetera? ❤️‍🔥

It's interesting watching devices slowly die as businesses demand more access than anyone is willing to provide.

My devices now randomly require additional updates they never needed before. I know the excuses, but I literally helped design some of this stuff...they are excuses.

My television has been becoming more forgetful lately. I'm sure the manufacturer will expect me to simply buy a new one. I don't need a television in this room and it was just an optional piece of equipment. I have unplugged it to see if I'll notice its absence.

Consumers need to remind themselves where the authority lies.

@mentallyalex We had to finally replace our washer/dryer and firmly decided not to download the manufacturer’s app, despite promises of “special” settings. It’s all working fine and happily, LG corporation has no access to my personal information, isn’t hogging bandwidth, or selling my clothes washing data on the AI market.

We added a beagle mix rescue puppy to our family yesterday (someone left 6 puppies on the side of a road in a box marked “free puppies” 😢) and he’s a sweet guy.

Please help out dog rescues/rescue dogs if you can. So many need help. And excuse me if I’m here a lot less for awhile.

Y'all I just made myself feel so old, hubs looked up top 100 music from 2001, 2011, 2021, and today and the amount of music I could recognize decreased by significantly. I recognized probably 70% of 2001 and decreasing as I went on. BUT I blame the internet, I can listen to exactly the kind of music I want with no dependence on the radio, but also I'm old!

@RickiTarr I was actually just thrilled to learn that a band I like, Fontaines DC, is on the list of most favored acts to see at the UK music festivals this summer. They’re currently gigging, youngish, and apparently hot. Definitely would recommend tuning in to bbc radio 6 (bbc sounds app) - plenty of US & UK bands, new & old music.
