  Wish I could but I’ve avoided these despicable “businesses” like the plague for decades by virtue of being too poor to afford them so I have no idea because I literally don’t recall the breadsticks from decades ago when a date took me there trying to impress me.

  Roommates is we describe ourselves to the nosey Trumpian electrician. It’s not a lie. We do share a room. And a bed. Amongst other things.

  For me, Hollow Knight started out a bit rough, got fun and interesting, but ultimately, I lost interest in trying to finish. There were parts which were a lot of fun, but eventually it became nothing more than a chore. And I’ve got too many other REAL chores to let a game like this stress me out. So I set it aside without finishing it.

  Despite that, I’m looking forward to this sequel. I likely won’t be a day one buyer (but who knows???), but I’m still pretty sure I will eventually play it. I’m hoping there are some nice game play and story improvements, but even more of the same could be nice.

  Where do you find vaginas large enough for motorcycles or motorcycles small enough for the vagina? Asking for a friend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Max Streaming ‘Enshittifies’ Further, Removes Classic Looney Tunes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably just a temporary hitch, but I tried to use the app today to look for some Little Britain content. I’m certain that a decade+ ago, HBO carried Little Britain episodes. I was under the impression that Max was basically rebranded HBO and Cinemax in crappified app format.

  Tried to open the app, got a loading screen for well over a minute. Closed it and tried to open it again. Waited another minute and it finally showed the profile selection screen. I clicked on my profile and got a completely useless error message, so I clicked on my partner’s profile and it worked. Clicked the up button a few times to get to the search screen, nothing happened. Clicked again, and it finally registered the first few click PLUS the newest click, so it overshot the search icon. Finally got it back to search and then clicked the microphone button so I could speak rather than type. It completely did not understand “Little Britain” and instead searched “Britain britain” with no relevant results. Tried again, and it failed harder. Ended up having to type in Little Britain manually. So 10 minutes later after having the thought that I’d like to watch Little Britain, I finally get the results. Turns out the show isn’t available to watch anymore (or else the search failed, hard to know for sure). Terrible experience.

  This should be an embarrassment. I would be embarrassed if I had developed some bullshit like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not today⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Back in late 2023 or early 2024, I was doing chat support with one of the major US e-retailers due to a return & refund situation that I was honestly expecting to be a problem because that type of thing pretty much always is for some reason.

  I ended up getting escalated to a higher tier tech named Muhammad who was miraculously able to quickly address the problem that his peers seemingly could not. At the end of our interaction, Muhammad thanked me for my patience and kindness, and replied something along the lines of “see you on the other side.”

  For some reason that random and otherwise meaningless expression has stuck with me ever since. Hardly a week goes by without me thinking about it at least once.

  It was a reminder that our time here is limited. And while I’m not a big believer that there is another “side” like I assume someone named Muhammad believes, it was still somehow comforting and an important reminder of perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Favourite 90s platformer?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s got platformer elements, then it’s a platformer, right? Yes? Then Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is it for me.

  I won’t say it’s my favorite, but I didn’t see it mentioned, yet, and it definitely deserves at least one mention: Earthworm Jim

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pockets⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m with you, hon. I totally get the cliche of womens’ fashion and the lack of adequate pockets. I just don’t get how these photos are at all related. At best, these vultures look like stereotypical flashers in a trench coat exposing themselves to strangers than anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X (Twitter) is down in worldwide outage.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You might consider adding a couple eggs to that. Since you can afford “permasan” and butter, I feel like it’s possible you might even be able to afford the eggs without having to take out a small personal loan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X (Twitter) is down in worldwide outage.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no. So anyway, we’re having a stereotypical American meal that takes 25 minutes off your life tonight: Sloppy joes, macaroni and cheese, and potato salad. It’s quite good, everything made from scratch since I don’t have a job anymore. How about you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digg is about to be rebooted. Thoughts?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh neat! I used to use Fark, too. I just checked and it’s still around, just looks a bit dead compared to how I remember it from back in the day.

  I started using it in the late 90’s or early 2000’s, but I stopped sometime in that date range you mentioned. For me, it was the fact that I got multiple back to temporary suspensions (with no warnings). It was like I couldn’t do anything right and to some extent, it felt targeted and personal.

  I don’t even remember them all, but two of the suspensions stick out to me. I got banned for posting the picture of the officially unofficial fark squirrel (i.e. Big Balls). Up until that time, it was basically a Fark meme posted openly and frequently by large numbers of users. I guess advertisers didn’t like it and I didn’t get the memo. Another suspension came when I responded to a homophobic bigot who was arguing against legalizing gay marriage in the USA by telling him “if you believe that, you are an idiot”. Apparently that’s name calling, but using cocksucker as a pejorative against another man was still considered A-Okay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No need to use my full name⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My uncle’s name is Sir Benjamin Theodore Jameson Preston Livingstone Senior the Third, but he was better known as One Ball by his family, social circle, neighborhood, and coworkers. He lost a testicle to an alligator attack when I was 12 and ever since then, that’s what everyone calls him. Supposedly couldn’t have children, but somehow he did end up with a daughter. Granted she had blonde hair and blue eyes, so who knows where that might’ve come from. Certainly didn’t come from Jing Ho’s family.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do tell!!!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The secret to good tuna salad is to add something crunchy (celery, water chestnut, firm relish), something sweet (sweet relish, pinch of sugar), hard boiled egg yolk or diced whole hard boiled egg, and a small amount of breadcrumbs or crushed crackers to absorb excess moisture, with crackers being slightly tastier due to added sodium but breadcrumbs being preferred if you need to reduce sodium. You can also substitute canned salmon or similar for the tuna if mercury and pollutants are a cause for concern. And of course, a dollop of real mayonnaise, not artificially sweetened, hydrogenated and whipped vegetable byproduct.

  If you just cut out a half dozen eggs per day from your budget, you’ll be fine. And if that’s not enough. then make coffee at home and stop ordering avocado toast, too. Did you know you can also sell your plasma for money and I think they even take gay people’s blood now, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is due in 28 days⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Rent is due in 28 days and in 28 days rent is due. That means all you have to do is make a whole bunch of money between now and then, that way you can pay your rent. So the options are limited, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any option at all for you. For instance, if you just had some rich parents, you could take out a small multi-million dollar loan from them and pay your rent out of that. If you have a nice body and you know how to work it, you could become a high end hooker like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, and then it would only take a handful of dates per month to pay off all your bills. Barring those options, you could convince your friends to sell their plasma and donate the proceeds to you. But you’d have to have a lot of friends to make that work, and let’s be honest. You don’t seem like the type to have that many friends. On the other hand, we could try to make you a Go Fund Me and then send it viral. Had a friend whose hamster got leukemia and they paid for the chemo with a Go Fund Me.

  How much butter could a butter churn churn if a butter churn could churn butter? I asked AI and it gave me this big long explanation that started with the history of butter churning and ended up with some facts about the traditional way of making yak butter which I did not even know was a thing but it is and that thing is butter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It works for anything⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be honest, I’m so sexual-relationsing old that I remember when the word meme actually meant something before it was appropriated and adapted for use to refer to the digital images we share electronically after adding text over them.

  As a gaymo, I’m just gonna say both of them are 1000000000000% percent hotter in this photo than in real life. AIRump got some biggass arms and bear-like belly, and Elmo barely look like actual Elmo because he has an actual human body shape.
