I had an extraordinary experience today, but it didn't relate to a hobby or career or political topic. I tried to find an appropriate community but I guess I don't have the right terms. Where can one turn to share triumphs, defeats, and sacred moments?
The article said it had a source linking the two events, then has a post-publication addendum that Roku denies any connection.
I agree with you that the timing is suspect.
Roku may dispute that the breach and the TOS change are related, but the timing is certainly suspect.
In some 2000-10s comedy, "bish, make me a sandwich" is a common punchline. It begs the question, what goes in the sandwich?
As a follow up, how does that differ from the sandwich you might make for yourself?
Heya, friend. I identified strongly with your inner monologue, if not from the same cause. I'm peri menopausal. I hope it brings you a bit of comfort to hear that many other women are having the same thoughts and feelings.
If I can share what's helped me: I went back to a strategy I learned in my adolescent years... Sometimes confidence breeds confidence. I do my best to practice it until it becomes internalized and "exuded."
As you move through your journey, know some old lady in Baltimore is rooting for you.

I will give this a try! Maybe thin out the pesto with citrus or balsamic. Thanks for weighing in!
I've tried adding crushed red pepper for the heat, but it doesn't change the salt balance issue.
I make a traditional pesto and use it for all kinds of recipes. I adore this pesto for soups, pasta, veggies.
However, when I use it for pizza, I get this weird paradox where everything is too salty, but still feels like it needs salt. For toppings I use fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers and parboiled asparagus. I don't season them to offset the saltiness.
Any suggestions on how to make this pizza perfect?
Tonight I turned on the movie Elf thinking it was another movie entirely. Now I can't, for the life of me, figure out what it was that I intended to watch.
My clearest recollection is of a red car in a chase among an impossibly perfect green field, obviously on a sound stage. The movie was quirky, artful. I thought it featured Zooey Deschanel, but nothing on her IMDB list fits.
I thought it was a movie about corporate actors taking over the North Pole, but maybe it was all a fever dream.
Anyone have ideas what I am looking for?
This is a possibility, although the descriptions I can find are pretty limited. One mentions that the protagonist is a mall-rat. Any guess on when the book is set?
Edit: This was written in 96, which would have been too late. Thanks for the suggestion, though!
Good questions! I think it was short by today's YA standards - - maybe 200 pages. Definitely not a collection, just a short novel. It was more a historical fiction.
Thanks for the suggestion! Based upon the Wikipedia description I don't think this is it, but I'll read it to be sure.
It's not much to go on, but I'm hoping someone either remembers or has better Google-fu than I do.
Some time in the late 80s or early 90s I read a YA book about a teen-ish girl in the Aluetian Islands. My most vivid memory is of her description of crabs, calling some "Jimmies," and going into extraordinary detail about the fishing process. I have the shadow of a memory that she was the first girl/woman to embark on fishing.
That's all I have to go on. Ring any bells?
I watched this over my Thanksgiving break and am so in love. There are so many themes and ideas to dissect. I wish I could find a viewing party or discussion group about it. That's how I found your post.
I'm no great thinker, but I'd love to hear others thoughts on what I see this series positing. Are there always bigger predators? When can you trust your understanding? What does survival look like, and how do you know you have achieved it? What really drives us, biology or intelligence?
All the seriously messed up stuff aside, this line made me giggle.
Some inside the White House called McEntee’s staff “the Rockettes and the Dungeons and Dragons Group.”
I work in with traumatized teens. There are times where they need to be isolated from their peers, but I agree that solitary is not therapeutic. Research and experience easily demonstrate that.
The reality is, though, that these systems are so underfunded and understaffed that these detrimental tactics are the only viable option.
I'm not defending the practice. I would never work in a system that uses solitary confinement with adolescents, but I have the luxury of choice.
When I was in high school, I hung out with a guy named "Gooch." Curiosity got the better of me, and I asked why everyone called him Gooch. Turns out, it was his last name, not a nickname as I'd assumed. No lie: I told him with a name like that, he'd end up as a supreme court justice or junky.
"I call Rule 34 on Wolfram's Rule 34."
It should be a Rule to include the hover text.
Every third product I search for has a check box coupon. Is there any downside to accepting those offers? Why not just list the item at the cheaper price?
I'm really not sure how I posted here, but I'm grateful for your answer. This is exactly what I was looking for.
I'm on lemm.ee, but I can see your image. When I try to upload an image, I get a spinning circle as if it is loading, but then nothing posts.
I've gone through the prompts to attach an image from my phone's gallery to this post. I suspect that it won't be there, just like my recent attempts to post to pics@lemmy.world. Is this an issue with the app or my instance?
Thanks for letting me know. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, and no idea how to fix it. Could it be my instance? My app (liftoff)?
I can't see my own posts in my profile. I guess that's a side effect of my settings to hide all read posts. Still, this is confusing and causes challenges.
Here's a low stakes question to start the community.
My father adopted me when he married my mother forty years ago. Unfortunately, she died only seven years later. Together they had two of their own. He's not an overly affectionate person, but in my adulthood he's been incredibly supportive.
Recently, he took a week off of work (a BFD for him) and flew halfway across the US to take care of me and my animals after a serious surgery. I'm trying to write a thank you note, but everything I write seems clinical or soppy. I've even tried chat GPT, but they're as awful and stilted as I am.
So here's the thing I want advice on... How do I thank him for continously choosing to be my dad for the last ~40 years?
I have an A53, running Android 13. I've recently noticed that if I uninstall an app and the reinstall it, it still has login credentials. That leads me to believe that uninstall isn't really deleting all the associated data.
How do I truly purge all the data from these apps from my phone?
I tried to Google the issue, but all the answers wanted me to download additional software, which seems antithetical to my goal.
(Please keep it simple; I'm not so good with tech.)
I'm trying to keep up with the times, but I'm an over the hill social worker. I signed up for lemm.ee and linked it to the app Jerboa. Now, however, I'm supposed to tell the Admin that server 0.17.4 is too low. Who is the Admin? How do I fix it?
