I got a kobo recently and like it a lot. I got the sage because the screen is about the size of a manga page, which I knew I would be reading a lot of. I keep it in airplane mode most of the time and use Calibre to load it up. The system works well for me

I hope OP learned to use a paper/dish towel from now on if that’s the case lmao

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I’m unzipped and waiting, bud

Honestly, say something useful or keep it to yourself, OK? These lil ‘gotcha’ comments do nothing but take up space and make you feel a misplaced sense of having done something (when you’ve in fact, done nothing).

Stuff like this comment, the mango Mussolini comments, the evil Cheeto comments, it all just fucking does nothing while still making people feel like they’re being transgressive. You’re not. It diverts energy from doing/talking about stuff that affects real change.

Dumbed* down (sorry ☹️)

I do feel like arguing semantics at almost all times steals some energy from the movement overall

Very interesting, I did not know that! Cool stuff

No? Wasn’t aware I needed to police my tone in a discussion about apple butter. The person I wrote it to seemed to really like it, so I was sorry they went so long not noticing it is, in fact, everywhere. I’m not sure exactly what part of my comment is setting people off, but it’s cool I guess.

Trader Joe’s has some fire freezer pancakes

I can literally go to any diner around me and there will be individually packaged containers of apple butter, usually next to whatever little packages of jelly they have on offer. I’m sorry you’ve suffered without for so long not noticing them

Buffalo…sauce? Buffalo, New York? Buffalo the ungulate? I am confused

Having been here since July of last year, there definitely are. The demographics skew towards older tech bro types, in my experience.

(They are, that’s why everyone gets bent out of shape when boomers are criticized here)

Sure, there are those parents. And there are a lot of parents like the ones in the article. Saying it isn’t so and covering your ears doesn’t change the fact that this is an experience a lot of people are having.

We won’t have it directly because the boomers have decided consistently across the decades to leave younger generations with nothing. This is just the latest version of that, except now they’re doing it directly to their own children and yeah, it can smart. It’s valid to express frustration at a generation that was handed everything, is leaving nothing, and now they’re doing it in a more personal way.

Every other generation before and after them seem to be on the same page as far as accumulating enough to leave for the next generation so they can have better lives than you had. But not the Boomers, never them. They’re going to get theirs and they deserve to have ALL of it. The next gen can earn their own way just like they had to, after all. Even though they voted away all opportunities to do that, and passing along generational wealth has always been a big key to any kind of success.

I’m all jacked up on mountain dew

Unfortunately you won’t die with us, you’ll die much sooner, not choking on a lack of oxygen or dying of dehydration.

We need more elders like those in Japan who volunteered to clean up nuclear waste because they wouldn’t have to live with the long-term side effects of being exposed to radiation.

As elders, y’all wouldn’t have to live as long in jail ¯\(ツ)/¯

Fr… This while thing reeks of fetish stuff. Couvade is real, not knocking it, but in this instance it feels like fanfic justification.

There are some truly terrible remixes on repeat in TJ Maxx/Marshall’s/Homegoods as well.
