Target sells them now! Mine have tags on the parts that go either by your foot or head board that say that’s where they go. They also have extra pleating at the corners so that they stay tucked deep under the mattress. Iove them! Oh, and elastic around the entire thing so they tuck under the entire mattress.

Why even bother? It’s not like anything is ever done about the non-anonymous threats we currently see. Ffs.

I got one the other day that had the third column of images completely cut off on mobile. Didn’t matter what browser I tried. I had to wait until I could get to a desktop to try and access the site.

They did this to me decades ago and I ended up having to get a new card so the old one would no longer work. I haven’t used paypal since. Fuck them.

Not on Home edition

You can do it on home. Takes a lot of googling and monkeying around, but I did it on my father’s computer years ago.

He’s a good bit older than that and has cancer, and is not able to sit at a computer long enough to learn a new operating system even if he wanted to. Which he really, really doesn’t lol. He hates the thing with the fire of a thousand burning suns and only used it for his necessaries.

I’m also not familiar with any other operating system besides windows, outside of a brief foray into pi-hole years ago that I don’t remember much about, so I’d have to learn it first. While I’d love to start playing around with Linux some day, unfortunately that day isn’t going to be any time soon.

Lucky you. I got told by our IT that I’m going to be their windows 11 sacrificial lamb and will be getting it before everyone else to bang out the quirks. It doesn’t pay to be known as the office nerd :(

My elderly father’s win 10 computer has been absolutely shoving the upgrade down his throat, and I’m about ready to give in and just do it. Telling it to stop notifying him does no good, it just comes right back the next day. Then he won’t touch the computer because the full screen upgrade ad freaks him out and he’s afraid something is wrong. Screw Microsoft.

I put it in one corner of one monitor that I hardly look at so it never appears on my main desktop monitor.

lol I did the exact same thing. That and all the unnecessary crap my work installs that I will never use but can’t even uninstall the damn shortcuts they slap on my desktop are all jammed in the corner of a monitor off to the side.

Just one of those fires is 600 square miles in size. I can’t even begin to comprehend what that must be like, and I’ve been in a wildfire situation before

My almost 50 year old officemate watches this shit all day long. It 100% affects her negatively in a multitude of ways, including her attending span. It’s not just the kiddos.

I don’t know what in the world my officemate would do with herself if she couldn’t watch TikTok all day. Besides her actual fucking work for a change, that is.

I am so goddamn sick of hearing the same “hehe hehe” and the same fake-sounding scream-laugh that those videos all use for backgrounds/overlays that I am ready to shove an ice pick in my ears. Ban this garbage, please!

“No one asked for this” should be Microsoft’s tag line. Rather than fix problems that have been around for years - decades in some cases - they just keep adding crap that no one wants or asked for.

Yep. Been there, done that too lol

Tow truck can get at you better, too.

My car isn’t the best and has refused more than once to start while in a parking lot. Parking so that I can always pull forward to leave means the tow truck also has much easier access to my car when I need it. :(

Oh man, my childhood. I learned the art of saving from a brutal master.

Not everyone. I hated it. A lot of times, 4 10s is actually 4 11s, because they make you take a lunch but you still gotta get those 10 actual work hours in. After a while, it was just brutal and exhausting. Bonus points of suck are awarded if you have to deal with coworkers who think you’re just getting a freebie day off for nothing and turn into assholes.

I’ve seen a curlygirl sub, but it was pretty much dead, sadly.

I think that app choice makes a difference, too. I would guess that most people on mobile picked one or two apps to try, and if their picks weren’t great (or the user was too impatient to wait for improvements) they called the whole experience shitty and bailed. Those of us committed to the move hung on and waited for our apps to get better.

In my case, I grabbed every ios app I could find and tried them all. Some were not so good, some were good and improving at a lightning rate. Living through those growing pains is worth it to me, especially when the improvements are crazy fast. I’m mostly using Memmy now, and I’m really happy with it. I only have one tiny, unimportant issue with it involving text selection, but it’s nothing compared to how good they’ve made this app so quickly. Memmy is a large part of why I stick around.

I got super frustrated with Mastodon because of this. I’ve tried a couple of instances with no luck. And hilariously, I have to think that the furry folks are either having the same problem finding a home, or they are stalking me, because everywhere I move, shortly after, a ton of furries appear and do introductions. Furry stuff is not my thing, but I can appreciate how they might have a hard time finding a good place to settle.
