  Well yeah take enough shrooms and everything is suddenly exposed as the artificial construct that it is. But we don’t have time to wake up and reinvent language every morning ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dunno⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It became a meme a few years ago, people would post problems like this and argue about whose was right, as if there were no objective truth. It hurt to watch.

  This also applies to houses, boats, and inevitably surrogates now that they’re using them like pack mules.

  When you have a solution in search of a problem, and lots of money to push that solution. They assume their customers will invent the use cases and workflows that might make it valuable,

  Leave it on long enough to fully kill FB, Insta, X, etc. THEN shut it down. We’re like 1/2 way there already

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hashtag spiritual hashtag truth⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Doing my morning walk through the churches in my neighborhood and there’s two old churches side by side, both rocking out, one sort of blues riffs, one a little more traditional rock. And as I often do, I stood for a moment taking it in - this is the Southern culture I think is fascinating and rich and… then I realize the blues one is now just doing a call and refrain “I don’t need no - evidence” over and over, and my dog’s like “let’s get the fuck out of here” and so we did.

  But it’s cute for a second if you don’t try to focus in on it. This is how religion should be taken in, and then hustle your ass along.

  Strong chance my final words will be “Oh shoot, shoooot.” Even tho I swear like a sailor, if it’s really bad, I go for clean language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only been supporting Enterprise for a while, but for me Win 11 is just Win 10 with more graphical overhead, and a start menu coded with React for some goddamn reason, because it’s fun to gamble as to how many seconds it will take to pull up the start menu this time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There should be a "last used combination" faucet handle for sinks so you don't have to balance hot and cold everytime during winter⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Depending on your location the wasted water from letting the faucet run can be much more valuable than the energy needed to maintain a circ system, however install cost is high and the lines need to be entirely insulated so really, new construction works best. I wanted it on my house but I think it’d just drive costs way up, especially with a tankless as it’d be firing all the damn time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuckin' PSYOP⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait hold on is the Jigsaw puppet taking the sensible position or the whackadoo position here? I’m assuming the latter but she’s absolutely smart enough to know how stupid this sounds.

  They do have networks of radiation sensors and reporters because of the guy who built an atomic device out of smoke detectors, giving himself and others radiation poisoning. Also, there have been some nuclear weapons go a tiny bit permanently missing, and suitcase-size dirty bombs were a huge scare for a hot minute, etc etc.

  Honestly it’s really shocking we escaped the past century alive.

  Purple, green, pinks and oranges (that’s the blood in my eyelids I think). If I rub my eyes, the pixellated screensavers get wild, which I think means you’re not supposed to do that.

  Oh my GOD i hated this as a kid - why is there a light just for me if I can’t use it? And then I was driving my 3yo son the other night, and he’s like “turn the lights on” and as I was explaining to him why I wouldn’t, it struck me… the cycle is complete

  She’s also derivative as hell, but children’s lit doesn’t get real deep reviews, and we were all too busy defending it from Christianity to really notice.

  I run a nonprofit and as soon as I got our new website up, a board member insisted the domain route through Cloudflare. I choose my battles with this guy, so I went ahead and did it. Thus, fixing a nonexistent problem means our website is now subject to Cloudflare downtime.

  I have a 403(b) because I work at a university but yes we get to pick between a ton of stock funds but also a handful of blended assets, an invested bond, and a non-invested bond if you really think shit’s gonna go south. My last job did not offer this kind of thing tho.

  That’s one theory yes. The serial killer stopped in late 2021, we assume he was incarcerated for another crime. The superhero at least somewhat matched his description. It was wild.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bank Workers, Rejoice!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  2300 sqft historic home in a capitol city downtown… 8 years ago… but I do have to put up with a few quirks like the homeless everywhere and the serial killer that was actively preying on them for several years, and the sword-carrying superhero who then came along to patrol and ‘fight’ this killer.

  We have a security system.

  I used to drive an hour in whiteout blizzards to get to my plug. In the ditches once or twice on that, but thanks to a handy wrecker, back on the road before my last bowl runs out.
