A version of this that’s fooled me involves the multiple desktop feature in some graphical OSs (I think Windows calls them workspaces).

The entire point is to clear out your dock/taskbar this way but occasionally I’ll forget, heave a dramatic sigh, and begin troubleshooting before it hits me and I sheepishly return to my work.

I think this reply was meant for an adjacent comment

Only if you have stored files locally and select “also delete local data” when deleting the app. You can check this in the Files app or by connecting the device to a computer and browsing the books storage section.

Anything backed by icloud storage (and of course anything purchased from the store) can be redownloaded later.

As a compromise, you can “offload” the app until you’re ready to use it again from the apps section of settings. This has the side effect of retaining existing data while uninstalling the app itself.

Not trying to butter you up, but if I could speak for him I would say you may surprise yourself by the end.

I suspect that exercising good will in the face of endlessly variable forms of human selfishness is in many ways like learning to run marathons. Until you’ve run that distance, it seems like a superhuman effort, but in hindsight you can’t imagine enjoying anything more. You do it because you like it. It becomes its own reward.

I’m just saying I think you’re capable of a more of the good fight than you might give yourself credit for, and we all need to be reminded of this from time to time.

He’s not. (CW: advocacy of stochastic terrorism)

His solution to everything is mass murder of Republican voters. It’s very personal to him, something to do with his mother (he deleted that comment when I called him out and I can’t remember the details).

Regardless he apparently still goes around advocating mass terrorism with impunity and I can’t imagine why.

Edit: forgot content warning

Also a sizable chunk of their audience has been brainwashed to interpret any mention of climate as “getting political,” or evidence of “liberal bias,” and they won’t risk their ratings to address the elephant in the room.

Population control is an ineffective solution to a nonexistent problem, but that thread of misanthropy, woven into the worldview of most who think #thanoswasright, is based on misinformation. Knowledge is the cure.

Voyager calls them “tags.”

Right, I figured they meant in order to make room. There’s too much cluttering 2.4 — zigbee, zwave, bluetooth, IO peripherals, microwave ovens, cordless handsets, walkies, and more. WRT general WiFi traffic, in dense residential settings 2.4 is often only used for initial client device handshake.

Fair. But to be clear, I’m suggesting conservative media outlets have latched onto this nickname to intentionally mislead a significant number of New Yorkers to believe the tax will affect them (because they or someone they know has a net worth of more than 1 million between life savings or property in the city) when it actually only applies to a select few who earn more than that every year.

The Mamdani campaign hasn’t used that nickname. Here is the first use of “millionaire tax” I could find. That was 4 days ago. By the following day, every major news outlet was running headlines with that nickname. I think it’s no accident.

Likewise!

Ah a fellow haberdasher #tips-lady-fedora

On this type of latch (mortise) the third screw is often stripped (because it’s a set screw that holds the lock cylinder in place and often the notch in the cylinder is misaligned / on the wrong side) but _un_screwing it should be easy.

The cylinder itself, however, is usually finely threaded and can require a fair amount of torque to get started, especially without using the key for additional purchase.

an additional 2% income tax on the top 1% in NYC, who are earning over $1 million per year

That’s a slightly different definition of “millionaire” than I was familiar with. Who is calling it that again?

I could see that, and I’m sure you’re right that it’s a mixed bag, ultimately. Also I agree that it’s a common misunderstanding among second wave feminists.

I just meant that a key thread in their prejudice appears to be a kind of reciprocal othering or tribalism which accepts the imposition that gender is defined by sex, and thus interprets the struggle against the patriarchy more literally as a form of societal trench warfare. From that perspective, there can be no trans women by definition, only untrustworthy defectors who leapt over the proverbial trench, and a proper #radical feminist won’t forget and will keep her vigil.

Pulling that thread would seem to unravel their transphobia to reveal internalized misogyny, since they misunderstood feminism as misandry from the start.

It’s just a guess, however. I am young and often wrong.

Agreed. Only its obsolete connotation — hazardously unmeasured zealotry — would apply.

That they describe themselves as the positive kind of radical unironically speaks to how deeply they misunderstood feminism from the start.

Giving the gift that becomes a child’s lifelong passion is some top-shelf, gourmet shit.

Yes! What the Dems have been is history. What voters make it is the future. That’s what primaries are for. So imagine what you want them to stand for and vote for the candidates that fit that vision.

Everyone should vote in their primaries, even if they can’t make the general. Your vote is higher impact there than in the general election for a few reasons:

1. The folks who usually vote in the primaries, bless ‘em, are not good at picking winners
2. Participation tends to be so low that it doesn’t take many additional votes to elect progressives
3. Progressives are MAGA kryptonite; people will actually show up for them in the general.

Also voting in primaries is easier, since early voting can often be completed digitally or by mail. You don’t have to take off work. And if you vote in person, you don’t have to be registered beforehand. Just show up to your polling center and they’ll have you fill out a special affidavit ballot that’s submitted in an envelope with your registration info.

Vote in your primaries people.

First off, it’s OK. We all make mistakes and misrepresent our feelings sometimes, which can affect others in ways we don’t intend. The particular social accident you describe is also quite common. I promise she will quickly recover from the inadvertent rejection.

My answer is: practice. 8-9 years is a long time to be out of practice at anything of this sort.

There are a variety of ways to actively pursue that practice, some more creative than others, but the most natural way is simply to invite interaction with others in general such as, apparently, drawing on a bench at the park :)

My cat burrows under my arms while I’m sleeping to get the heat from my chest. I’m allergic but I love him, so when I wake up holding him like a teddy bear with his fur all over my face, I just wheeze a laugh on over to the cupboard to look for the antihistamines.
