fun update. They said I only needed to cover fridays, that everything else was covered. except uhh... none of those employees supposedly covering it have been informed that they'd be asked to work 13 hour shifts next week. So now it's stalemate boomer vs millennial. for me to 'come to my senses'

Cool. Apparently I'm going to be unemployed come January 2nd. Because I set a boundary on my availability of work. I didn't want to wake up at (my) 4am to get ready for work for an hour's pay. Then sit in limbo until my usual expected shift at 9am Every. Single. Weekday. I had no actual time off.

If a conservative complains about the holidays being too warm for a normal winter, just tell them that it's Trump's Data centers that caused it. there's already almost 500 of them in Texas. that's why it's 70+F out here

Hapholi you dorks. Be kind to yourself, always. Even if your social group is away, you're not actually far from their thoughts. N-no, I'm not projecting my distraction on y'all, totally.

Remember when you could log into websites and not have to constantly log in over and over and over again every time you visited a website. I have all the settings to remember it, but like, wtf.

Too much AI slop for cooking in general, uhg just trying to see how I can utilize things for a custom apple pie thing...

She was not programmed to understand being a floating taco.

Youtube is trying so damn hard to convince me to join sports betting lmao When I say I'm not interested, fuck off actually.

Casually flirting about getting a contract notarized to adopt a cute trans girl for vorny yet wholesome implications. After all, it's legal at that point, right ~? Completely not a modern day fey tendencies...

This holiday season, adopt a trans friend of yours. Ensure they're properly reminded that they're a creature of value. That they have access to the medication and love we all need, but might be harder to come by than money is. You'll save a life. And that's the best feeling in the world.

Is it worth shelling out two to three times more per month on health care premiums or should I just cowabunga my chances because the US probably will collapse in 2026 anyway It's really funny to me that UnitedHealth offers $75 plans but ZERO in-network anywhere. Just pay them for nothing. lmfao

in that 'holiday' phase to vanish without a word from several discord groups. I hate that my stress response is full recluse. Or self engineer the idea of Not Belonging There Anymore. I feel that corrosive hell and just wanna flee so I don't taunt myself with what I can't have for social groups.

I want a cute linking icon. but it's like, Oh right, using your own OCs for it is kinda cringe. lmao.

Its fascinating to me that you can't really look up locations anymore unless you provide your personal location. Like, no, Popeyes you don't need my personal information to select a damn store

You should run now.

Is your turkey still frozen? You haven't been defrosting it for the past four or five days? Congrats, you've fucked up. Go buy one that isn't frozen if you still can. Don't bother trying any of the 'quick defrost' hacks. it'll be raw in the center no matter what.

Zero brain cell usage. She stayed there until the upper right area was literally overflowing with water and the other cat decided to drink from it. Then she was confused as to why she was soaked ...

Friendly reminder: Do not put any comments what so ever into anything handling NSFW with any payment processor. They're still puritanical and will absolutely ban the both of you if the system decides to flag the transaction. Just don't comment. Don't leave text feedback. Don't leave notes.

Ah hello accumulated feelings of "I don't belong in these social circles, I should leave." I really don't appreciate you.

*hands you a creature*

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Look at what happens when you don't give in the the doomerism of 'my vote doesn't matter' Blue wave is a go. Please please please register to vote for the midterms next year. do it now. Do it before the week is up. Find out where the polling locations are. Go early vote if at all possible.

Reminder Your vote matters. Please ensure you keep it by using it to vote today. Look up what's on your ballot, do your best to understand what's on it, who's who. That sort of thing.

Pain.

Did you?

friendly reminder: There are no such thing as flushable wipes. they do not dissolve. They just clog the shitter. ESPECIALLY IN A FUCKING SEPTIC TANK SYSTEM thanks, neighbor! I really appreciate having to pay for your shittery.

Creature.

Hey Texans Early voting for SEVENTEEN constitutional amendments has begun It includes things like more tax breaks for trust funds, cementing that children have zero rights, water funding for dara centers. But also exceptions for military widows. Please vote. These all matter.

and then people have the audacity to claim it's because you're not trying. your life flashes before your eyes. you are forced to internalize the reality that you trying your goddamned best is other people's version of "not trying at all"

oh cool, Blue Cross Blue Shield also terminated my regular health care too and just hasn't bothered to inform me how did I find this out? Oh it's just that my regular perscription went from $25 to $982.44 still got a payment reminder email tho. lmao

Mooootherfuckers Car dealership fucked my down payment. signing me up for EXACTLY $8,000 of "warranty" coverage instead of doing the certified pre-owned bit. That's why they didn't give me any paperwork at all! Caught it before 30 days elapsed, so I should be able to get 100% refunds. Fuckers.

I know coincidence does not equal causation but man the timing of a lot of social groups being around when I'm not able to join sucks. I hate the impulse to leave outright to just avoid seeing it anymore.

ah nothing like receiving an email from my health care provider that my dental plan's been terminated for nonpayment. But... my regular health insurnace, which is bundled and paid at the same time, is still active. and apparently This happened a month ago??? I don't what I did to deserve this

Oh man, someone at the railroad got snapped at for going too fast in city limits it seems. Two mile long train just took almost twenty minutes to rumble on by when usually its like five.

pretty sure the check hold nonsense from banks is directly responsible for people being susceptible for both buy now pay later and paycheck advance applications As is the whole '8am-6pm' only for services. Like cool, fuck nightshift workers like the government does too. great.

Hey Texans, you have until the 6th to register to vote of you haven't already done so. Federal, Governor, Senate and many other elections are NOT GERRYMANDERED. Your vote matters! It always matters!

I don't think the depths of how terrifying AI is becoming in the film industry is really understood. There's background crowd generation that will instantly fill a scene, taking the place of hundreds of extras. Able to be swapped to parades or business suits or a protest etc. film is cooked.

It should be illegal to not have 24/7 customer support for banking institutions. My money can be taken from my account at any time, but if I need to ask someone about it I have to obey normal business hour bullshit. I've about had it with this fucking credit union's bullshit.

Oh my lord I cannot. Listening to a stream. One of those wildcard old af not-quite-meme type of 90s-00s song starts on. The smile, the 'oh this one. ahah' Streamer immediately changes it. Aw. I don't feel invested enough to dig it out of youtube but... dang. Y'know?

That one terrible yet legendary meme motivational poster with the kitten dangling with "Hang in there" caption But it's a tiny creature from my sabre teeth

Do not participate in the absolutely silly bluesky blackout calls. You must make your voices heard to get anything in life. It's how Trump has been steamrolling in all this fascist shit, why Mastercard is pushing anti-porn rules. because too many people are silent. Too many don't vote. Be heard!

I just so can't wait for bystander's consent to allow consentual nsfw to be marked as nonconsensual. Exactly that one meme of a 3rd party declaring they don't consent over the two who do and it's going to be the ruling factor. Can't we fucking don't?

Just like how you shouldn't believe scammers hijacking your discord and social media friends Don't give your name and details to a hypothetical protest RSVP. No real protest requires your details. Ever. Honeypot traps are so easy to fall into when you don't have visual and auditory context clues.

also I cannot for the life of me find a cover for the wireless charger in the prius. That just seems like a crumb/dust magnet made manifest

even considering the hellscape that is Etsy and the ongoing massive sales taxation. ...I really want more knickknacks of my characters. uhghghgh

yes!chiitan is Trans gender ally🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 LOVE YOU🤍

Hehe. The realization of what I just did today is hitting different. I'm Oh my god I did maximum adulting things. @.@ all by myself. No co-signer was needed

But yah! Fancy 2024 Prius Significant upgrade for the old kia soul Just scooted under the original warranty so they pushed the certified preowned into it. Yaaaay longer warranty
