Grease stain on my hot pink sweat pants :frowning:

I found a grease stain on my new shirt. Time for dish soap.

It is obviously an honorable and important cause but I cannot—my heart literally cannot—encounter another sandy hook promise ad. I’m not built for that

Oh yeah, I click away so fast. I just can’t bear it.

I made chicken tortilla soup tonight. Right at the end, I was adding salt and accidentally spilled a bunch of salt in it. After all my hard work! (It wasn’t that hard, but it was still effort.) It’s very salty. You can tell it would be a really good soup, if it weren’t so salty. :frowning: I’m trying the potato thing. I hope it works! (For tomorrow, because we had to eat whatever else we could scrounge for tonight.)

I got spray paint all over my phone unlocking finger.

There is some Drama going on in Hobby Org and people are making it my problem even though I do not care and do not have the capacity to mediate it at this moment.

I had a similar issue that led me to teach the phone about my thumb in addition to my index finger. Which does nothing for you now, but might be useful later.

apparently it has been so long since we turned on the tv that the remote batteries died and went crusty.

and we probably don’t have triple a in the house.

How do I get social media platforms to stop showing me suggested posts about terminally ill children and pets?

I hide the posts. Doesn’t work.

sometimes, it needs to know what to send you instead. for a while FB was sending me lots of WW2 content. I had to hide it, but also make sure when I was scrolling that I only stopped or rested on the other things.

Now it shows me lots of Dr Who and ST:NG content, which is fine. I haven’t watched in probably a decade, but I’m fine to see the pretty people, even if I don’t recall the episodes.

in FB you should be able to choose just ‘feed’, which doesn’t include anything suggested, just things you asked for

I do now get a lot of goth eye candy and shopping suggestions, which, to the detriment of my budget and wallet, I do enjoy seeing. And I get less to do with weight loss and menopausal belly fat

So it kinda worked, except, I can’t get away from the sickness and death content for some reason.

Instead of using “hide this add,” have you tried “hide all from XYZ source”?

I have, but, these aren’t ads, they are “suggested posts” and reels. It doesn’t offer me that option.

maybe, along the same line as what @plainjane suggested, look up reels from your preferred content creators? to move the algorithm

Absolutely bananas that the human experience now includes moving our algorithms !!

Why is all the rum lemonade gone?

it really is. That is a really, really weird sentence that I typed out now that I look at it.

Can you imagine saying that, even ten years ago? go back in time and say that to a random person?
