Can twitter please do something about the DM spam

Like, why are you able to add dozens of people to a single DM in the first place, what person wants to do that for legitimate reasons

I have been told that lately (within the past year and a half or so) USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc are /all/ scanning packages delivered sometimes /days/ before they are.

I've had some from each carrier end up like that. It's very frustrating.

[Fetian]

Yeah, it's a Thing. And part of the issue is the conditions people are working under and I completely understand that - but don't fucking pretend it's not happening when a customer complains about it

Also, like, change the conditions so it stops happening.

[knightofcups]

Yeah. I can't really be upset at the delivery people. But also.

At the vet with Oz - the lump is a fatty lipoma and because it doesn't seem to be bothering her, we're going to leave it alone and just keep an eye on it. If it gets bigger again or starts causing her problems then I'll talk with them about surgery.

So, good news! And now just waiting for them to bring her back out so we can go home

This reminds me of an anecdote I love to tell,

Which is that, when I was in middle school, I was friends with some people in the goth clique, and took PE with one of them. One day, while attempting to take their pulse, they proudly informed me they didn't have one... And were upset with me when I informed them they had their fingers in the wrong spot.

Watching the new DankPods about the Microsoft Kin, and when you wake it up it says "Nice to meet you" and! I wonder if that's translated and it originally said "dōzo yoroshiku"! Because it is a little weird, right, for it to say "nice to meet you" every time you open it, potentially years after you've initially "met". It makes much more sense for it to say, for example, "Let's work well together!"

No idea who developed the OS for the phone or if any of the software started off in Japan. The manufacturer is Japanese, but that might not mean anything. But it's plausible, I think, and that's interesting on its own

But he was STILL HUNGRY

I really miss director's (&c) commentaries

I've decided I'm not going to attend the torah study meeting tomorrow so I can sleep in and get some proper rest. Hopefully the cat agrees
