I did the thing and got a tattoo of something special between me and my spouse.

Now ex-spouse.

Am currently getting laser tattoo removal to lighten it enough for a cover up.

Yep, who wants to survive teotwawki

So many. Everything I love goes away. The first that comes to mind is Crescent brand au jus. It was the best out there, period.

The next is the bruschetta chicken ciabatta sandwich that Jack in the Box used to have. Amazing.

Uno candy bars are technically still around but impossible to find. I love those little bastards.

There are more but I can’t think of them. Do the myriad of products that changed their recipes thinking no one would notice count? I noticed. Sometimes the new thing is dead to me.

Also those old “fire” “rain” element drinks (sobe?) were unbelievably good. In fact sobe was so good in the 90s/00s but changed recipes and packaging so that stuff is bleh to me now.

Original Surge cola. They changed it for the relaunch and it never was quite right. I used to have one every day before [sport] practice in high school.

Oh! Trader Joe’s had this pepperjack quiche that was out of this world. Haven’t seen it in years. It was the only reason for me to go there.

Edit: this post made me hungry and sad

Thank you

Not the one you’re replying to but my SO was a terrible driver and still has issues. At first I brought it to them calmly but over the years it turned into nagging. That being said, their driving has improved significantly. Much safer than it was but they still gets mad at other cars who were being oblivious. They also admitted they have problems seeing at night so I always drive at night now.

They’re aware I have a problem with their driving and it is a source of contention in our relationship but not enough to break up over.

Sorry, no. I forgot because I am on a plan.

But Avenza has a free tier and I like it better honestly. Much nicer/easier to create interest points. You can use their basemap or make your own in Qgis if you have any GIS skills or use any PDF that has geo info embedded like a usgs topo map.

You can find any usgs topo map for free from usgs and load that into Avenza easily.

If you’re interested and this sounds like what you’re looking for I can dig up some links.

I had to switch to Esri Field Maps for work so I haven’t used Avenza since they implemented a ton of new features but I still have it on my phone because it’s a good app.

Have you considered something like Avenza? I believe they have live basemaps now. There’s also Fulcrum (premium $) and Esri Field Maps.

These require some work up front but these are what we researchers use to navigate and collect data in the field.

I live rurally and have spent the night without power 3 times in the last 2 months.

It gets old.

Hahaha you should see the outage map of Washington State.

What do I like to do? Nothing, I hate power outages.

What I typically do is I have a large stockpile of candles from an old MLM scheme. I light those and play on my phone if there’s Internet. We have multiple battery banks for these occasions.

If there’s no Internet I will read. Both ebooks and regular books because my attention will shift.

I also try to do something productive like study for something.

Most of all I pile like eleventy billion blankets on the bed because I’m so cold. The furry ones are poor space heaters.

When I was a kid we always played games. Like charades or something. My dad would light the camp stove and we’d entertain ourselves for the evening as a family. They were nice.

Yep.

Hello traumatic memory I had been successfully repressing.

Ditto. Hated them as a kid, then as a young adult I could tolerate them cooked, now I could eat them raw (on/in something). Tastes change, man.

Same thing with mushrooms and mustard.

Washington got a really awesome governor.

ITT: none of the power posters I was thinking of. Suspiciously silent now, eh?

Y’all ever watch the og Alvin and the Chipmunks movie where the Chipmunks race the Chipettes in hot air balloons while unknowingly being smugglers? It holds up pretty well, considering.

I go to a monthly meeting for a society I’m in and it’s like this. We eat, drink, and watch a presentation. It’s cool, I like them.

Not necessarily about fresh snow. Old snow packs down into hard, slick ice and sometimes fresh snow gives you way more traction. Depends on the temperature.

I’ve been to two. One was very small and one was in a giant stadium. I went because I wanted to hear the local politician talk in the first one. The stadium one I was kinda dragged to but I didn’t mind, it was a Bernie rally.

Yeah … I’m sorry. It doesn’t get any easier. Over time you get beaten down and don’t have the luxury of putting energy into being angry about it. Like, your rage is on a low simmer on the back burner.

Men are blissfully unaware of what pain they cause and what privilege they enjoy and anytime you try to bring up women’s issues they scream “not all men”. Because yes it isn’t all men but we’re not talking about those men in the first place.

Talking about it here is likely to gain negative attention so I understand you’re venting but they’re not going to listen. It’s not impacting anyone. And it’s dangerous because while Lemmy is safer than reddit, you could still piss off the wrong person who might go after you. I’m sorry. There’s very little justice.

I hear and acknowledge your pain.

Hm. Sounds like something to bring up to a doctor actually. If she’s comfortable and willing. She could have a birth defect or could have had surgery in the area that could have damaged nerves, or she was injured and damaged nerves.

The clitoris is larger than what you see and it might be able to be stimulated from elsewhere if it isn’t injured.

In the meantime try for the g spot and vibrators everywhere until you maybe find something that works.

But yeah, worth mentioning to a doctor.
