An ambitious grey hat who's yet to bite off more than they could chew. They/Them.
One of my best friends is due with their firstborn in just about two months. I'm going to make them a baby blanket since that's within my capabilities. Here's a swatch of the pattern I'm using. Though it will be the same material, I'll be using lavender for the actual blanket.
I'll link the creator of the pattern I'm the replies

See, this is another problem with the chatbot bullshit. Here, an OpenAI featured chatbot is pushing extreme surgeries to 'subhuman' men saying they won't be able to find chicks no matter how much confidence they fake.
Dudes, let me tell you, this is TOTAL bullshit. I mean, if I can find a wife, ANYONE can. š The incel bullshit is so sad. It's all lies, they're believing all these lies.

The fact that you can go on Tumblr and see a screenshot of a Reddit post that is a screenshot of a FaceBook, and it'll have thousands of reblogs is proof that the people yearn for a federated web
@xvf17 FINALLY, you're the second person I've ever met that had something remotely close to it.
Today I've published an old, super secret family recipe to my blog; Saucey Dogs. Yes, they are real, and honestly, pretty good.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they donāt die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200k/year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME
The Material theme in #VSCode, used by 4 million users, has been deprecated. VScode automatically recommends migrating to Vira theme, even providing a button to do so for you. Vira theme has a "7 day trial period" :|

Anyone out there aware of a medicine tracking app that isn't based on clock time, but is instead based on a button push/cycle start?
Eg. You must take this pill 30 minutes after that pill but before eating - so you hit a button when you wake up and it'll say take pill A, and then in 30 minutes a reminder goes off to take pill B, then it'll say go eat breakfast.
