  They think they have a good union but they don’t.

  they just give you two pre-filled pouches with the paperwork.

  Les Schwab did the same thing with braces and tires; they’d just give you some small bits of wire and squares and tell you to figure it out. it was too good a deal to pass up at the time.

  unfortunately self-administering braces is harder than you’d think. I’ll never be able to eat like I used to 😔

  great tires tho

  If it’s steamed I’ll eat it all. Steam it like a good ham.

  “whatever you do, please don’t do what you did to give me my previous sister; sure she loved ponies and talked of ranches, but she also lived in great pain having her spine twisted 180 degrees and only being able to walk backwards. 😔 I still hear her screams in my darkest of dreams”

  With colon cancer stats these days, you can bring that number way down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Website⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Likewise.

  Unfortunately everything else I learned was ethereal and went away, and I’ve got a learning disability that really doesn’t like it when a new system is slightly different than a previous system I’d learned.

  I was all in on .shtml (anything but php or css), Shockwave/Macromedia Director 7 and Bryce for graphics.

  I could never get back into it using the mainstream stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Website⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d sooner use Frontpage.

  Iirc Ring cameras opt you into sharing your feed with the cops. Lotta reasons not to use ‘em.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man posts his incorrect opinion online⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I do that too.

  They’re bright white Allbirds that would get too dirty too quickly if ever I wore them outside, so it’s a bit of a mental nudge for me to take them off and put on my outdoor shoes in case I forget to do so.

  …sidebar: how do I clean bright white fabric shoes? it’s bleach, right? I don’t know why I’m intimidated by the task.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can use them for either or both⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  too much work when b-hole’s right there

  So backing this fascist regime_ isn’t_ helping their business?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get that silicussy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, normally I’d suggest substituting “prostitute” with “sex worker” in an effort to stress that it’s work and help get it legalized/normalized… but considering there is no work being done here… 🤷‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can use them for either or both⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean I usually only ever need one for my recipes, so… unless you can think of a better use for ‘em… zip, bang, right up my b-hole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel very vulnerable to a good city builder game rn. Anno was the last one to really hook me in.

  This looks more about production and automation, but miiiiight scratch the itch.

  …I’m also vulnerable to an MMO, so… whichever comes first will likely sweep me away for years.

  Didn’t this happen with an iPhone a few years back? FBI couldn’t get into his phone, Apple stood firm publicly, but then somehow the FBI got in anyway? Maybe I’m misremembering.

  Aww, clumsy kitties.

  Yep.

  As an exercise in catharsis I wrote a short found footage film I wanted to make with some friends called How to Prank Your Neighbors! wherein the prank was obviously a fill-in for something way more nefarious.

  The setup was something like “say you know your neighbor is a prankster themselves and they were going to take a prank on someone else too far. Is it not your moral obligation to prank them first? Perhaps so badly they cannot do the harmful prank of their own?”

  It’d go into how to get around your neighbor’s security system, how to occupy their dog, and get into their house unnoticed so you could then… prank your neighbor.

  Friends told me I should pull my punch by the end, so it ended with the protagonist getting pranked by some unseen party who had been observing them because— after all— the protagonist fit their own description of someone who needs to be pranked, but uhh…

  …yeah I dunno, I think if you know your neighbor is a Nazi-in-waiting, they don’t deserve to go… unpranked?

  I had to kick myself off Nextdoor for the sake of my blood pressure. I’m trying to work on my mindfulness and not having such hotheaded reactions, but boy howdy does it make my blood boil seeing such bigotry on the feed.

  I learned ND doesn’t permaban users anyway. Only temp bans upwards of 6 months.

  Also if you have any warnings on your account you can’t have your account deleted until six months after you’ve been warned.
