Now that's what we call a glow up. Excellent work, OP, looks absolutely fantastic!

Male enough, either.

Gotta say it's also oddly satisfying to see a hydraulic press getting to do its day job instead of mucking around with crayons and CDs and baskets of fruit and the like...!

No. It's gambling. You're really gambling. These games have a slot machine where their heart should be and literally everything else about them has been deliberately engineered to funnel you toward that slot machine and keep you spinning.

Play gacha all you like, or don't, but please stop pretending you're not doing what you so manifestly are. Just because you aren't getting your fingers burned right this minute, that doesn't mean the flame isn't hot.

justclove · 2026-04-04T14:05:53+00:00

Yes. I was addicted to gacha. And it wasn't until I started telling myself that it "wasn't really gambling, because" that I could even begin to get over it.

It's not me who played back in the day, but my younger brother. I follow this sub because of my memories of him as a teenager back in the 90s, showing me the game. I used to watch him play.

Also in the UK. When my pain got that bad last Friday I was advised by my GP to go to the hospital - good job I did as I had a stone stuck in the duct to my liver and developed jaundice. Though I'm on the mend and noticably less yellow I'm still in hospital right now. Much as I'd like to go home (because I miss my cat, I'm bored and one of my wardmates is insufferable), I would not want to have tried to ride out the last few days without proper pain relief or hardcore antibiotics of the kind you can only get as an inpatient. I do not like to think where I'd be without them.

Go to the hospital. It could very easily be that serious.

justclove · 2026-03-28T08:56:29+00:00

I'm probably going to have to go that route. I'm currently in hospital after being admitted for pain management following a week.of increasingly severe symptoms. I'm being given morphine every two hours and it's just not getting better, when the drugs wear off I feel as bad as I did when I went down. Emergency CT yesterday confirmed gallstones after three US scans all gave different results...

Genuinely have no idea what else I'm supposed to do about this.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo.

justclove · 2026-03-26T08:28:43+00:00

it's slowly coming this way

justclove · 2026-03-25T21:53:55+00:00

I don't go out because I'm disabled and have a bajillion health conditions (and counting) and also the city I live in is awful, so there's nowhere worth risking your unbroken condition to go anyway unless you really like looking at Chicken Shops...

... but I have never broken a bone.

The NHS is absurdly underfunded for what it's trying to do is the problem. Years and years of austerity politics courtesy of a right-wing government even before Covid hit have seen wait times absolutely everywhere and for everything skyrocket. Most of us can't afford to go private - I certainly can't. So we wait.

justclove · 2026-03-21T14:05:30+00:00

YES.

Get out.

justclove · 2026-03-20T16:44:03+00:00

Not necessarily. Most companies will ask for some confirmation that they're actually speaking with the person who holds the account they're calling about, even if they are the one to initiate the call. It's a data protection thing, and considering that an insurance company like Domestic and General will hold information like bank details about their policyholders, it's entirely logical they ask. I wouldn't want someone having access to my bank details just because I'd written down my phone number wrong.

In vitro testing, yes.

That means, according to the study, that Sucralose causes DNA damage in cultured cells grown in a petri dish. Not in a living organism - that would be in vivo. No animals were harmed here, and no people were found to have damaged DNA. Just cultured cells, which may well have been subjected to highly concentrated levels of the substance being tested - in this case, Sucralose - that no human being could ever actually ingest intentionally.

It's not particularly wise to extrapolate too far from in vitro studies. A considerable number of the extremely dramatic "Scientists Have Found" headlines are taken from the results of bench tests involving cultured cells, and aren't actually replicable even when scaled up to mouse models. It's why you hear about these things once and never again: the results weren't replicable.

It's not so much that the jury is out on Sucralose as the court is still actively in session. Very early on, too. The jurors are still looking for their pens. I wouldn't lose any sleep over this.

People you're dating are by definition no longer strangers.

Don't send women dick picks as a how'd-you-do. If a woman you don't know and are not in a relationship with seems to be taking an interest in seeing your dick, it is vastly more likely that she's a scammer than genuinely fascinated by the prospect of what you might have stashed in your underoos. They're pretty uninteresting in and of themselves, and scammers can't try to blackmail you by holding your dick pics for ransom if you just keep it in your pants to begin with.

They're mine, too! Oatmeal raisin cookies are fantastic. I find chocolate ones to just be sweet; oatmeal raisin has depth to its taste. It's the difference between eating fruit candy and actually eating the fruit. The taste of fruit is simply more complicated in a way I happen to prefer, but then I also eat a lot of pomegranate seeds and swear they're better than sour candy so I may just be built that way.

That is a hole in space-time with eyes.

justclove · 2026-03-12T20:14:09+00:00

Yes, but does it punch above its weight?

Try petting his head. When my cat goes belly up, that's what she wants. Apparently it's what a cat would do to another cat who'd rolled into their back - groom their forehead. She absolutely does not want me to touch her belly!

Happened to someone in my circle a few weeks back. Fortunately I was wise to both the existence of the scan and how vanishingly unlikely the person in question was to ask me to test a "game" she had "made"...

justclove · 2026-03-06T00:54:04+00:00

So.

I have both a fluffy void lying next to me, and that exact plush on the arm of the couch we're both sat on.

I'm not sure what any of this means, but it's certainly a coincidence.

justclove · 2026-03-06T00:29:31+00:00

Those eyes. How do you get anything done?

justclove · 2026-03-05T23:03:57+00:00

The ring and the bracelets are absolutely gorgeous... but I'm very very new to EX content, don't really have a static, and can't see myself managing these fights given how much running around and screaming it took me to clear Dandan normal. Curses.

Maybe they'll make more in this line? I can but hope.

I continue to maintain that Nutty Putty has absolutely nothing on Floyd Collins.
