I feel the “checking watch for next emergency”

I’m just about done paying off my last emergency so I’m right on time for the next big one. Fate seems to wait until I’m spitting distance from paying it off to taunt me or some shit.

The last time I was literally 1 month from having it paid off before BOOM $10k medical emergency and to not become homeless due to said medical emergency combined with being on FMLA for 12 weeks minus a day.

It don’t like like a lot to some but for me it’s been hell.

Fucking high rollers over there

My retirement plan is to die at work, that way my family is taken care of. (who am I kidding, my work will try to weasel out of paying them if that happens)

To use the internet was an intentional act. You had to check the time to make sure you weren’t gonna hit some long distance charges, login, and wait for it to connect.

You received a dancing baby gif in your inbox from a friend.

“sorry we’re unable to release him as we’re unsure which facility he’s currently in”

-Them in a few weeks probably after continuous pressure

NGL I’d want Canada to annex us.

I’m in the PNW, it’s a fairly common sentiment around here.

You do have a point

I’ve had multiple of my normie friends ask me about linux in the last few months and I even got 2 to switch over. Which blew my mind I got them to.

I think my favorite comment I’ve heard from them since switching is how much it just gets out of their way. It’s there and does the thing and is only there as much as it needs to be.

One quick hack to make the shareholders happy with how much money you’ve been putting into a failing project: rename a successful one to the failing project’s name.

Instructions unclear, I’ve gone big

Creature?

The more I learn about local flora and fauna the more this hurts

I recently found a berry bush while on a trail of a kind of berry I hadn’t seen in years

It was bitter sweet

Way ahead of you on this, I’ve been doing this for years!

And who can for get the classic of napping in the shade of a tree on a nice warm summer day.

I’ve literally seen pants that have what looks like pockets but when you actually check there no actual pockets there. It’s like they cut the hole, made the folds, then stitched them closed.

It blows my mind!

I’d love to buy a home

I just can’t do it any time soon due to ballooning prices where I currently live

Holy crap the map is 62,000 x 62,000 x 62,000?!?

Alright I’m gonna have to give this a try, I always felt the maps in Minecraft weren’t nearly deep enough.

“As we pursue technological advancement we should be careful not to abandon our humanity in the process.”

A surprisingly relevant line for modern day.

glares at gen AI “art”

More options is always good (they can miss me with that gen AI trash though)

I wonder how easy it is to use compared to GIMP or Krita?

(I still suck with Krita but that’s a me thing lol)

Audacity does as well and I use it to edit pictures sometimes.

Yes pictures.

You can get some interesting effects from it.

The shaft was only a 7.3?!?

Well we know what they’re into…
