I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don’t hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don’t even use.
These are great till you live somewhere with shitty electric. On the days when my ecig takes 6 hours to charge I can't cook as the hot plate won't even turn on. Fucking slumlords.
I bought a new netbook last year to watch stuff on as my old one from like 10 years ago finally fell apart.
I fucking hate the new Windows so much and I'm not techy enough to change the operating system to something better, so I barely use it as watching stuff on my phone is easier.
I’m looking to get inspiration for my own writing. I need a hard sci fi series where earth (and earthlike worlds) are too rare, inaccessible, and/or previously spoiled beyond ability to sustain life. Bonus points if it is set on a multi-generational space station or starship without any other options and goes into detail about...
Well sure, if you like the sound of your own voice so much, you can do that.
Or you could follow a buch of tags and reblog art, nature, politics, comedy, maths, articles, photos, gifsets and games.
And if you really want to talk to people, the reblogs, tags and notes are good places to get words out, and there are dms and asks too (if you switch them on).
Have you ever been on tumblr? I mean like just gone to the website and looked around?
How is reblogging a photo of a frog, a bunch of comedy gifsets and some current affairs news from a war zone, 'watching other people talk to themselves'?
Posting or reblogging a meme to/from a meme tag on tumblr, isn't something I'd consider 'talking' to anyone. Nor would a news article be, or anything else that I mentioned above.
A great many popular tumblr posts have no notes or conversational reblogs either, as they're just photos of cool looking frogs or memes or images of stuff like that.
If you really want to, you can make posts to the fediverse/reddit/tumblr/etc that are just you talking to yourself.
If you're funny, interesting or popular enough, some people might even come to talk to you on your post, or just read and upvote/reblog you.
If enough people do this, the algorithm picks it up and lots of people get to see you talking to yourself till other people join in.
And if it's a funny/interesting enough post, the content might even be screenshotted and shared across platforms.
What do you think is more likely to be screenshotted and shared across platforms: a funny/interesting conversation, or a really popular picture of a frog that has no comments?
And what do you think there is more of on tumblr?
Use the tooth brush and running water to brush your tongue clean, and spit a few times. That way you get a clean tasting/feeling mouth while not rinsing the suds from your teeth.

If Yodel manages to deliver the books I wouldn't have ordered had I known they were using bloody Yodel for the delivery, I will be spending the good bits of my weekend reading Harrow The Ninth and Nona The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir, and hopefully catching up on sleep.
The rest of my weekend is going to be spent waiting by the door for Yodel to post their "sorry we missed you!" equivalent through the letterbox, and then catching up on housework.
Look up 'IDF using Palestinians as human shields' and there are pages of photos and articles about this, 5 children have been used as shield by the iof this year that we know of.

It wasn't bombed. They drove a tank through the cemetary, the footage of the aftermath shows what they did. It shows shrouded corpses and mangled body parts, piles of over turned dirt and tank treads.
There was no tunnel, the iof just wanted to desercrate Palestinian graves.
Why would israel need to justify themselves further than they already have? They don't need to have plausable excuses, just look at every other thing they've ever said.
Israel has always been fully allowed to commit mass scale warcrimes against Palestinians and has always been fully subsidised by western countries to do so.
