I've never been lied to more often or more blatantly than by the "keep me logged in" checkbox.

Does anyone make actually good weighted blankets? The first one I got was instantly and permanently damaged by a trip through the wash. I never washed the second one, but the weights clumped all on one side anyway, and it seems unfixable. I have been very unimpressed by the whole thing.

It really sucks to finally fix yourself as the world readily reveals how broken everyone else is.

They had me at the headline: AI isn’t replacing jobs. AI spending is "From Amazon to General Motors to Booz Allen Hamilton, layoffs are being announced and blamed on AI. Amazon said it would cut 14,000 corporate jobs. United Parcel Service (UPS) said it had reduced its management workforce by […]

I slept most of the weekend. It doesn't feel great, but I must have needed it.

A painful but necessary thing to understand: If they're not asking you for help, you will never fix someone. And if they do ask--they'll probably ignore it. Focus on your own wellness. You're not responsible for what other people broke.

Something I adore about #pokemon Legends Z-A: Almost no legend...ary pokemon. None in PVP, I've only seen one in the story so far. I love fighting all the cool normal mons, with my cool normal mons.

My anxiety brain every time I am not instantly good something new: "Your literal first attempt was bad, like everyone elses' first everything. You should never do this again, even though that is the only way to improve." Thanks, brain. 💢

#transwoman here, repeating: *Nobody is turning trans overnight*. I am a healthy, insured adult. Took me over 9 months to get a 1st appointment for Estrogen. I was so glad I got in; he made it sound like it was a chat then a blood test, and I'd be good to go. Every. Single. Time. I have talked […]

#cats are so silly, and very communicative. Soot likes to bring me her favorite toys when it is time to play. She also slipped her fish toy under my door repeatedly when I kept her locked out of the study, and I find them on my bed/at my door after I'm asleep.

Patreon-exclusive cat picture albums are ready for all my paid members! https://www.patreon.com/posts/142733790/ Soot says thanks for your support! #patreon #thezeldazone #selfpromo

Who is everyone maining in #pokemonza? I am currently doing very well with: 1 Chesnaught (Bulk Up, Wood Hammer, Thunder Punch, Close Combat) 2 Mega Gardevoir (Calm Mind, Psychic, Dazzling Gleam, Mystical fire) 3 Mega Aerodactyl (Stone Edge, Fly, Earthquake, Ice Fang) PVP is very interesting […]

My newest #nendoroid figures! Sucy from #littlewitchacademia and Suiseiseki from #rozenmaiden! Very cute, Suiseiseki stands on her own since the dress base is long enough! Sucy has fun accessories, but I love the hands-in-sleeves look.

Woawuuu, change hard sometimes.

"Take the pen."

Learning to cook fresh food and keep a budget. Picked a hell of a time.

Ma'am. I'm way too young for this. #pokemon #sickos #sweat

My #pokemon Z-A takeaways: + Dragon type trainers are still crazy + Finally, Poke-Yakuza. In France??? ++ Megas are still cool, hoping Gamefreak learns that this time + The realtime conversion works well, still has a lot of the feel of the turn based with Speed and all +/- Online battles are […]

#thezeldazone is LIVE with Treehouse of Horror YTPs and other #halloween goodness for my return to streaming! Don't miss it! Stream will end ~3 hours after this post https://twitch.tv/thezeldazone #livestream #live #pngtuber

I'm up to 35 hours in #pokemon Legends Z-A. It's good. If you're scared of Ranked like I was, try it. I got the Greninjaite in 5 matches, and there's no way to lose points so you only make progress. The PVP is pretty fun, frantic. #pokemonza #pokemonlegendsza #gaming #videogames

We're screensharing Pon No Michi in the Zelda Zone discord: https://zelda.zone/discord It's an anime where cute girls play mahjong. A+

#pokemon Legends Z-A: What movesets is everyone using on their Mega Gardevoir, Mega Aerodactyl, and Mega Sharpeedo? Those are my mains for now, very effective but fragile. Not sure Calm Mind is worth it. Protect seems hard to use with how erratic battles are. Mega Aero in particular seems […]

My biggest transition advice is do it *now*. Every legal/medical process takes 10x longer than you're thinking, 99% of it is reversible and all the irreversible stuff takes months and your doctor/etc will likely fight tooth and nail to not let you. Get the new name, swap the pronouns, buy some […]

#thezeldazone livestreams return on Twitch, starting 6PM Friday--that's #halloween! We'll watch some #simpsons Treehouse of Horror YTPs, browse some old Halloweeny websites If time permits, we'll have Spooky Games; otherwise, we'll catch up on spooks in November! Remember to bike, commend, and […]

I'm glad I took time to step back and improve my routines and well-being, but... I'm still ticked I barely got to enjoy Monster Fucker Month. 💢 #monsterfucker #october #halloween

Ragebait is so big and so gross; you should really immediately be skeptical of any negative opinion from a "Content Creator". Everything sucks, because that gets clicks. The algorithm is not your friend. I am, though. (Flutters lashes.)

Where is your fav #anime on the "title directly describes the plot" to "title is random sounds" spectrum?

Anti-immigrant sentiment is fucking nuts if you think about it. "Hey. Hey you. The dirt you were born over sucks. My dirt forever!!! My country is great. I had nothing to do with this, mind. But still, fuck you."

How do people feel about post-edited voices on livestreams, like Voice Mod? Voice training isn't coming as far or as quickly as I'd like (and I knew it was very slow). At least for my vtube avatar, I'm tempted to pop something on it to at least sound more fem for a start. I could take it off […]

So, for Rotoms, this is totally like sex, right? #pokemon #rotom #rotomsex

I doubt it'll be a lasting return, but it's nice to see Mega Evolutions back in #pokemon Z-A. Megas are cool because they're actually designed pokemon with meaningful stats not just a generic power-up. And Z-A fixes the pants-on-head stupid choice to limit to 1 (always Legendary) mon per battle […]

One of the silliest #scifi tropes to me is that if you gotta make any high-tech "hologram" technology look massively worse than even 1940s 2D screens, because you gotta sell the audience this is a 'hologram'.

The dreary irony of the “friendly reminder.” It doesn't matter if it is a genuinely friendly reminder. The phrase will never read that way anymore. I'm not sure that it ever did.

Choose your anime fighter: 14-year-old with 40 years of experience in their field, world-renowned. 1000-year-old with the cognitive abilities and body of a 5-year-old. 1-year-old with the body and mind of an adult as well as fully developed social skills. Usually comes out of a tube of green […]

#anime: I was a little spooked by the premise of #culturalexchangewithagamecentregirl * due to it being called a rom-com, but it's very cute, and the "romance" is just a dumbass (but cute) girl having a 1-way crush. A lot of excellent Anime Faces in this show. Aoi is my fav char so far. I'm […]

So far my #pokemon Legends Z-A experience in Lumoise City has mostly been me running around picking up trash to sell to buy expensive clothes I don't need and buy oddly expensive coffee. As far as I am aware, this is an authentic French experience.

[usa politics] I think one of the greatest flaws of the "arming people will save us from evil government" is that if you're the kind of guy who's excited to go murder a ton of people, "evil government" is your dream job. That ICE sign-up bonus kinda makes sense now, eh? Like the only […]

[us politics, grumpy] Say what you will, but the USA serves as a great example of what a heavily armed populace does against a tyrannical government. Which is to say, absolutely nothing, at any point in time, anywhere.

The “old hag” translation in #anime has to be some kind of localization shop in-joke at this point, right? It's used almost 100% of the time despite being a very unnatural phrase in context, even in otherwise excellent locs. I've even seen it used pretty consistently when 'baba' doesn't appear […]

#Cat owner tip: Let them inspect their carrying cases well before they have to go to the vet. Lets them familiarize themselves with it before the stress of being picked up and locked in. Just a routine annual vet trip for #SootAndShine #cats #pets

Bro , just a few more trillion dollars bro, AI will be profitable in just a few decades, bro. Bro, please. AGI by 2500. Bro. Nvidia, bro...

Streams are returning this friday! I am thinking I will stream only to Twitch for a while and decide what to do with my youtube/VOD/edited content later. Still a lot of Stuff going on IRL. Things are moving in the right direction, but I'm still wrangling new meds (Express Scripts sucks). Still […]

Yooo Dark Circles is an option in pokemon ZA ! They kinda get covered by the lower eyelashes, but that's an option I'll always support. Dark circles are hot, and not just because I have them.😌 #pokemon #pokemonlegendsza #gaming #videogames

Watching #bartenderglassofgod, sequel to an earlier #bartender anime, apparently. It's pretty fun! I don't drink anymore, but the little facts and stuff about 'proper' booze and serving are fun. #nowwatching #anime #tv
