Growing up in the South is learning to be mean by way of looking nice.

Gotta smell the inside of a cup or bowl when taking it out of the pantry. If it smells wrong, I have to wash it first. I don't know why.

Not really. They never wanted a large instance and didn't want to become a Reddit replacement. I see them more like a federated Tildes, honestly.

I actually think about this. All those houses that are streets away from the beach are going to make so much more in the future because the beach will move.

Roleplaying in AOL chatrooms. I remember joining this group who roleplayed as vampires and hanging out in the "local tavern." I was only 9 and in hindsight half of what people were doing was hooking up, but it made me love writing.

Later on, I really enjoyed LiveJournal and staying up way too late reading fanfiction with my friends on AIM/MSN messenger.

Early Google. When AskJeeves fizzled away but SEO and ads hadn't taken over.

Wouldn't they deny your money because of the dates? You'd have to ensure you only have cash from pre-2003.

It's available in the UK as well. They don't follow EU privacy laws.

Like all social media, you have to curate it. I follow hashtags for cats, books, writing, fandoms, etc. The rage is minimum then because my homepage doesn't have politics or news. I actually do follow a couple of news sources, but their stuff is surrounded by an ocean of fun things so it's not nearly as bad.

Same. 30s, healthcare, no linux. Not even tech savvy at all, but I can follow directions well enough.

Like...stale or just...weird? I don't know how to describe it. If it only smells like glass or cleaning such, it's good. Anything else is bad.

Proudly have never had that said to me lol

It took me a while to figure out. Like I knew Southerners can be mean and judgy, but I didn't think about how until I traveled to other places and saw how much more straightforward people are. It's nice when kindness is kindness and there's no underlying meaning.

It's a subtly, yeah. There's a lot of reading between the lines along, which is annoying if you're not used to it.

it appears that the kitten is partially vaccinated? i assume at the initial vaccination they tested for the major diseases that affect cats and it came back negative, so introduction is likely fine. i am not a vet, but i have done this multiple times in my households and have felt comfortable after the first round of vaccines since my other cats are all up-to-date and have a flea/tick regimen.

initial introduction should be super slow anyway. unless both cats are chill, they shouldn't be too close to one another for extended periods and without supervision.

Lexus cars. Every time some terrible driving is happening around me, it is one of them. I literally cannot count how many times I've almost been hit by one of them not stop at streetlights or stop signs or not slowing down for the pedestrian (me!) in the crosswalk. That commercial where the lexus driver drives over the man's papers just solidified what sort of asshole drives those cars.
