I was fine paying for Amazon to make the highest quality stuff that I wanted to see, like the Expanse, Invincible, the fucking Boys etc as I do believe I can't bemoan the lack of quality programming if I'm not helping foster it.

But then they included ads in the standard package and I jumped back into the high seas. Fuck that noise.

I love the texts that are clearly just anon's personal fantasy.

I had never heard of Backstroke before, just looked it up and cannot wait to watch it sometime!

Thanks for sharing the much more appropriate link!

Their stuff is so damned good. Existential Stormtroopers always cracks me up.

The meme is actually an attempt to exorcize Babytime from my head, where it's been stuck for the better part of a week.

If the administration wasn't pure fucking evil, I'd admire the audicity of taking credit for undoing the terrible policy they enacted months ago.

Forgot to give credit where credit is die, this still is from episode 3 of the auralnauts version of Star Wars. I love pretty much everything they've done and a million percent recommend them:

Or am I the only one?

This is so well put.

I've only ever had one cat and she is definitely a Smart cat and I would argue a Good one.

It's been pretty easy training her to stay off electronics/furniture, most morning wellness checks happen after the alarm and even takes medicine like a champ.

I don't have any real sort of baseline but I feel my cat understands a lot of the intent behind my words and often acts accordingly, more than most animals and many small children with whom I've worked.

He speaks some English but he cannot speak it good like we do.

Is there a physical community notice board somewhere? Failing that, a local library? (The librarians would probably know where to find some sort of community notice board.) Those things often have group activities posted.

Unsure how common it is in smaller towns but in my city moat bars have event nights whether they're trivia, karaoke etc. Or, sounds weird but even going, sitting at the bar and watching a game has, in my experience, often led to conversation.

 
 

It's a little like when the guy getting kicked out of the bar starts yelling about this bar sucker. Sure buddy, okay...

 

Despite what Sinatra would have us believe, if you can make it in New York it doesn't mean you'll make it in the mid west or any of the purple states. (Democrats haven't had a vote share lower than 65% since the 00s I think)

Yes, a record number came out to support him but almost as many came out to support anyone but him :(

My hope is that for all the naysaying, Mamdani turns out to be a technocrat in the Sewer Socialist model and shows the country socialism ain't so scary. The whole "laboratories of democracy" in action.

 

And all of a sudden everyone pretended they'd never encountered some government employee doing the bare minimum to avoid being fired for cause.

Last time I was at the passport office they literally had someone pointing folks to 1 of 2 lines, instead of, y'know, a sign. (And yes, there was someone else there who was clearly there to help as needed, which ended up with them just slowly pacing the room.)

Or, if we move to more remote work (which many departments now say they'll do to cut costs) you don't need as many people in the office planning departments etc.

 
 
 
 

I've used an app to organize my recurring chores etc. Usually it's just a running mark of my failures but I took the day to get it all done. Home is as clean as it gets, things are put away and I feel vaguely acconplished.

Admittedly, I did this because my next project is switching from Windows to Linux and I wanted to have everything else done so that even if the switch breaks me, home will be nice and pretty.

(Anyone else recently made or thought about the switch? Misery loved company...!)

Don't remember ever being excited about watching baseball before, let alone doggedly staying up way too late to finish a game. Any other bandwagoners feeling a little tuckered today?
