I know these days red dots are reliable enough that you don't *need* back up sights, but what if removing them makes the machine spirit mad?

coffee, but you use egg nog as creamer and stir it with a peppermint stick

I wish I had realized that I was trans and came out way sooner so that I had personal memories of being a MySpace emo/scene girl instead of just vicarious ones.

really wish my brain had an off switch so I could just go to sleep. it's not even hyper fixated on anything. it's like when your computer randomly decides to be at 90% cpu and ram utilization even though you don't have any programs running.

wrapped a present for my brother

every just think about how thin the barrier between you and the outside world is? how anyone with a sledgehammer and a vendetta could just decide to ruin your whole life?

honestly, if a company wants to write off a media property as list for tax benefits, that property should immediately become public domain

IBM, 1979: "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a managerial decision." CEOs, 2020s, having to answer for their 385th predictably bad managerial decision: "Market shifts did it."

I'm gonna say it. I hate when mashed potatoes are too smooth. mashed potatoes are supposed to be chunky and have lumps. put the sieve away, don't get a ricer, no electric beater needed. Just mash the potatoes with a couple pats of butter, some salt, and some garlic powder if you're feeling fancy.

it's a great feeling when someone eats out and gets a dish you've made them and they off-handed comment how yours is better unprompted

gotta cool. feels like less than usual... think they might just be bigger. used a different scoop.

so like... at the start of the last crusade, what was indy's plan on the ship? like if that life perserver didn't just luckily float on by, what was the get away plan? he was in the middle of the ocean in a storm.

is it just me or have restraunts really been under sausing their wings?

my oven's broken, but I wanted to bake. not bad for a first attempt baking on the stove.

don't listen now, but it's smelling

what's up with people who set up out of office replies at the end of every day and not just when they go on vacation?

why the hell does windows keep switching the default shut down option to switch user instead of shut down? there's not even another user to switch to, windows, why would I ever select that option.

curly fries are just fries to someone as twisted as me

it's so annoying that my voice sounds the best when it feels the sloppiest and when it feels the smoothest it sounds like an absolute mess

everything could use more pepper. always.

y'all ever open your calendar hoping a meeting was canceled even though you are the host of the meeting and you know you haven't canceled it?

we'll all die eventually, hopefully that's when the real party starts

how is how does how am how do how were

competitive void shouting

a company shouldn't be able to claim they're providing 100% renewable energy if they're just offsetting their nonrenewable infrastructure with purchased RECs. honestly, RECs shouldn't be a thing that can be traded in the first place, but that's a bigger problem.

I wish I still got excited for Halloween. I still enjoy all the stuff associated with it, and am generally a low level excited for the vague time of year, but the day itself no longer has any meaning to me. (I still like the spooky season jokes. no one will takes those from me.)

if a company already has access to information about you, they shouldn't ask you to provide that information. at that point are they just trying to catch you lying? it's just a waste of time and energy. confirming is fine, but asking is ridiculous, especially if they override your answers.

no, Microsoft, I don't want to talk to my computer. I don't even talk to my phone.

but what if just threw the screwdriver at my monitor. it's weighted so nicely and the monitor is right there.

so called allies when a woman they don't like is a bit masculine: <transphobic shouting>

so called allies when a man they don't like does something a bit feminine or less than masculine: <homophobic shouting>

cinnamon raisin bagel with pumpkin spice cream cheese is great in the morning

the very pathetic truth is that all the fuckers writing 'harris lost by running on the left' op-eds would, if she had ran the exact same campaign but won, be writing 'harris won by rejecting the left' op-eds instead. they're not honest people

I don't understand people that are correctly anti smart fridge but then get an alexa, or worried about spyware and data brokers but want a car with a simcard or connects to their cell network. we already see stories of insurance companies increasing rates over reports from car sensors

"What does antifa do?" My personal experience with antifa.

No. Stop letting these assholes own something they don't own.

if i put as much energy into creating as i do self destruction, I'd be fucking unstoppable

I'm so excited for all these companies losing money because the AI they're replacing workers with causes more problems than it saves becoming case study for future business students to ignore and try anyway because they're "built different."

saw someone suggest adding microtransactions each time a gun is shot as a way to discourage use, and like... do they think ammo is free? some people already paying $1 per shot

wasabi mashed potatoes are very good
