True story. Email is one of the last things I’d try to host myself.

I’m lucky enough to have a yard, so years ago I planted a dwarf spruce to be our living Christmas tree. We string it up with solar lights for the holidays.

Yeah, I dunno about that. “Anti-hero” is a pretty big trope, not at all limited to mentally ill characters.

You can get good sears on nonstick. We’ve done it for years.

Nonstick is easier to use and clean, but you’ll have to buy a new one every year or two, depending on how hard you are on them. Cast iron is practically indestructible in that you can almost always bring it back to usable condition; but keeping it usable takes more care. There’s also carbon steel if cast iron is too heavy for you.

Fifth grade me would have laughed at this for days and days. Reminds me of “the pirate”

I feel bad for them that they believed it.

They’ll wait a month or so and try it again, quieter this time.

It costs more for the merchant and cardholder. That’s why rich people flex with it. Because they can afford to pay more and cost others more for no reason.

Amex is such a douchebag rich person flex. The credit card equivalent of a Laboubou collection.

I saw protein shake/energy drinks at Costco the other week. Reminded me of the energy drink/body spray from the Good Place

We did have that briefly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Droid

I also wish all my problems would go away magically

If you’re serious, I know a place

Most everyone has an innate urge to live forever somehow. It’s an expression of our fear of death. They make children, or inventions, or buildings, or artworks, or whatever “legacy” they can think will persist after their death.

It’s natural to feel this way. We’re wired for it.

The cruel trick is that nothing lasts forever. We yearn for things we can’t have.

If only they had asked ChatGPT to make them a foolproof security system. Human error, obviously

That little piss stain is certifiably insane

Okay?

Besides you guys, nobody even knows what that means. When you drag “liberals” on Lemmy and Reddit, most people just think you’re a trump supporter.

Who’s gonna tell him?

The socks have a bit of a learning curve, depending on what you want to do with them, but it’s worth it. It’s such a huge relief to not care how much more Windows is getting enshittified this week, since it’s not my problem anymore.
