Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I’ll help us get a few more niche communities back?

  • Oh so many things, from savory hotdogs in a fresh bun, curry bread, melon bread, cream filled puff balls, honey crisp Texas toast, you name it. It’s a little pricey in the US but when I stayed in Japan, there was a tiny hole in the wall right next door that sold them for 150 yen a piece. It sustained us the whole month, every morning.












  • New release of 10 so a bunch of carriers are doing that $800 off thing. That’s equal to the non pro version, but you get locked into a carrier (and pay tax, boo). Jokes on them, though, since we live in a monopoly area I can’t switch even if I wanted to. Bonus, I can probably do a custom os since pixel is usually more compatible.

    Edit: finally got a chance to check, all carriers lock it, including this one. Supposedly you can request an unlock once it’s paid off, though (and one report said it was automatic at least with T-Mobile) as it’s not manufacturer locked and just network locked (e.g. greyed option in dev menu). That seems fair for a subsidised phone that’s locked for two years.





  • As an adjunct myself, wanted to see how widespread it is but this doesn’t seem to be. We’re usually first on the chopping block, but a dozen firings isn’t very many overall when there’s thousands of people teaching. I think similar happened when we celebrated Luigi, too, and both are pretty popular opinions with students.

    Still, always be mindful of your online footprint and what you say in front of students in particular. You’re dealing with whole groups, so even if it’s a 90% popular opinion, you’ll get one asshole who may report you anyway. That includes religion, too, which is especially tricky when you’re an atheist teaching psychology and have to address shit regarding free will, evolution and why we have guilt and such.

    But hey, we’re pretty fucking free to say what we want on Lemmy, it’s so obscure that I’m not even sure the government watches it.
