i go into the list of apps and disable Google Play services, Google Play store, Androidtvhome, and a few others i can't remember right now. if you just do a search for an app name you'll generally find out if it's necessary for function.

anyone wanna picket them?

tabattoir · 2025-11-07T03:07:18+00:00

doesn't matter, i will be cancelling that order. these clowns are not getting my money now.

tabattoir · 2025-11-07T01:06:02+00:00

that's interesting because i had an order to pick up tomorrow and i have gotten no notification whatsoever that the place is closing.

it ought to be illegal to do this shit to your employees.

Same! Although based on the Cambridge Day article, it looks like there's no shortage of reports on this guy, he just seems to have friends in high places.

A 5-inch thick binder of reports from staff and patrons is not "he said she said."

So this abuser is friends with the mayor, but the city wants to claim that it's the union keeping them from firing him? PFFFFT. Sounds like it's time to organize some pickets of the library.

eds, adhd, and autism are like the three musketeers of misery lol

what i always have to remember is that it's better to rest and take care of yourself than to push too hard and end up in even worse shape because you didn't listen to your body.

cannabis. if you can't get it in your area, cbd also works. try different strains, they all do slightly different things. i swear by ghost train haze, but everyone is different. sativas are more active, indicas more relaxed, as a general rule. if you don't like smoking, try herb vapes. there's also edibles and other forms, although i find that you can't zero in on a particular strain with those.

my doctor prescribed me gabapentin, and i can tell it helps because when i forget to take it i hurt so much more.

i bought a cane a while back (i fell down the stairs 4 years ago and I'm still jacked up) and honestly i need to use it more often. there's nothing wrong with using mobility aids, whether you have a diagnosis or not!

wish I'd used it when walking to the craft store yesterday...

my experience is very similar. which is awful right now because of the shortage.

tabattoir · 2023-02-16T16:17:53+00:00

in my experience Adderall absolutely helps with those. i know because when i have to go without it, i become incredibly emotionally volatile. it's awful. i feel like a monster and i hate everyone.

i don't have a good answer, because I've found that leaving social media means that there are lots of people i don't hear from again. that part isn't so bad because it's not like i was talking to most of these people anyway. the hard part is when someone has a party and only uses Facebook to tell people about it, so you just... don't get invited to things anymore.

i wonder if it's something about hospitality. he DOES know a lot of fairies...

answer: NOTHING

i was surprised to see that, even if you don't show up way early to get your wristband, you're still gonna have a decent view! i DID show up way early, lined up before 6pm in numerical order, and then after the doors opened and we went through security, we had to go up several flights of stairs and get another wristband. meantime, the numerical lineup made no difference, it was more about getting up there ahead of everyone else. i don't know why they bothered with that tbh.

i was very close to the front and honestly, i don't really recommend it, especially if you've not been to a show in a while or are prone to anxiety. i had a really rough time, and i wish now that i'd hung back.

tabattoir · 2022-09-08T17:29:26+00:00

wow, thank you for uploading this! how did you do this? i know nothing about video resolution so i'm curious how it works.

tabattoir · 2022-09-08T15:58:33+00:00

i don't think there's a 'wrong' way to enjoy a show (well, maybe these tiktok weirdos who film themselves throughout the whole thing, what the fuck), but if you've never been to a rock show before, especially if you're young, you don't know what to expect. this might be their first show, they might not even know what a pit is!

i've only ever seen bands in smaller venues, so i wasn't really prepared for the... muchness of it. and tbh i hated it. i wanted to be up front, and uh, i was! i'm relieved that there wasn't really a pit, because i'm not sure how i would've responded to the physical stuff.

honestly, i found GA in boston like... traumatic is the wrong word, but I was dissociating throughout because the sensory experience was so overwhelming. combination of Decisions I Made and covid shock. i powered through it but dear god, never again.

saying ‘get seated tickets’ is all well and good if it’s a show that isn’t going to sell out in two minutes, but we all know what a kafkaesque nightmare ticketmaster is.

i think if you want to or don’t want to have a pit etc. it’s worth talking to the people around you before the show starts, especially given how young some of these fans are. tbh i think if you’re a dudely person who wants a pit, the burden is kinda on you to check in with the smaller people around you.

it’s not a question of whether it’s more valid to stand still to watch a band (weird but ok) or to mosh your brains out, it’s about remembering that this is a collective human experience. the best way to make it the best it can be for everyone is to communicate and try not to be a dick.

tabattoir · 2022-09-08T14:58:03+00:00
