Words cannot describe how much I loathe Apple products and their lanky, unintuitive, unfriendly interfaces. I don't know why ALL THE COMPANIES feel the need to use iPads for things. Get an Android tablet. Everybody involved will be happier, except Apple, who can fuck right off and die.

Dracthyr make some of these in-game moments so goofy. I have my own wings woman. I don't need to be carried around by the scruff.

Capitalism is a hell of a drug. One of my coworkers tried to justify America's invasion of Iraq as being in our financial best interests as a country. The punchline? He's Iraqi. Not Iraqi heritage, actually born and raised for a substantial portion of his life IN Iraq.

Hot take: If you need a bumper sticker saying "SENIOR DRIVER! Please be patient & careful." Maybe you're too fucking old and impaired to be driving.

It's kinda surreal reading an article on CNN's website where CNN says that CNN declined to give CNN comment over a lawsuit involving CNN. I think RFK gave them some of his brain worms...

I'm so conflicted over whether to apply for this job opening. It pays $80-90k but it's a supervisor position. It's also salary. Supervisor means majority deskwork, which I loathe. Salary means being exploited to work many unpaid extra hours. That's a lot of money, though... Much closer to home too.

Can't afford healthcare, housing, or food assistance though, oh no.

I swear to God, some of these window-licking bestialists are obsessed with being the main character. They're not happy unless they're ruining lives. And then they give the big BAWWWW! when all the polls show their hateful superstition is dying out. Good riddance. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sup...

This pisses me off to no end. The Democrats' strategy seems to be to sit there with their thumbs up their asses and wait until people hate Trump so much that they vote Dem in opposition. They're not giving people anything to vote for, just a less shitty alternative. www.cnn.com/2025/11/03/p...

Just had to call my supervisor because it looks like our production run is going to take longer than expected. Since there's nobody coming in to take over when I leave and someone from our department always has to be here to collect samples and run microbiology tests.

After nearly 2 years of extended commutes to and from work, I'm becoming more and more committed to the idea that people from New York and New Jersey shouldn't be allowed to drive...

Since Halloween is coming up, and with it the end of Cocktober, I figured I should hand out a few treats. Enjoy, and feel free to cram as much into your mouth as much as you want.

I'm not sure which aspect of this chart is more alarming. There's the extreme growth of both humans and domesticated animals over the past 200 years, the fact that humans make up such a large proportion of thirst biomass, or the sharp decline in wild land and marine mammals. It all sucks.

I'm so glad we have science journalists out there to release breaking news about things we DEFINITELY didn't know. New evidence humans evolved from an African ape-like ancestor - Earth.com share.google/MU8IPu1FKyxF...

This job is causing me so much fucking stress. Nobody in leadership cares. They just tell me to wave everything through. Sugar too low/high? Acid levels or pH off? Been sitting in an UNCOOLED silo for 7 days? Just run it. Send it to the school children to drink.

It's simultaneously gratifying and disappointing that Apple keeps reaffirming my utter hatred of them. Apple pulls ICE tracking app from App Store share.google/JcldA8HvfJHq...

Wow, I've found a way to make me nope out of a job offer faster than the words "sales" or "conservative."

I got my 20 year veteran's cape. I don't know why I keep buying these things, they're nowhere near as good as some of my other capes, but I like having them I guess. Not like I'm low on bank space.

I'm hoping this age verification bullshit that more and more sites are having to roll out is handled intelligently. My FA, Sofurry, and YouTube accounts are all old enough that even if I somehow made them on the day my father impregnated my mother, I'd still be an adult by now. I shouldn't be carded

Education is dead. People learn everything from social media nowadays. Pity it's mostly all wrong, and they're unknowingly drowning in ignorance...

It is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL that blue states start building affordable housing and addressing their cost-of-living crises. Even ignoring the impact it will have on people living there, we're setting ourselves up for complete Republican domination after the 2030 census.

In case you haven't heard, BlueSky and Mastodon will be blocking access to Mississippi. BlueSky starting on 9/1, not sure about Mastodon. If you live in MS, you'll need to get a VPN to access BlueSky.

Can someone who knows things about computers tell me if this is good? I have a budget of $1500, it must be a laptop, and it must have at least a 2tb SSD OR a 2nd SSD slot. Primary use will be gaming. I'm open to suggestions if this is less good than I think it is. tinyurl.com/28sx8xc9

My job is somehow making me even more misanthropic. The only time I have contact with other people is when they're barging into my lab to dump more work on me...which I hate, and is frequent. The end result of these frequently hateful interactions is the Pavlovian response to hate interactions more.

I don't know why they even bother. If there's one thing EVE Online taught me, it's that people can't pronounce shit. Some of the ships in that game had their names butchered so badly, you'd think the people speaking were illiterate. share.google/uN361pCsutIF...

Someone needs to take the pigs off traffic directing duty. It seems like their sole purpose is making everything worse. A free-for-all demolition derby would be more constructive.

Why does it feel like the night shift does the most work out of any shift in this damn place? All last night and tonight, I've been working through the microbiology backlog from weeks ago that's supposed to be handled by the micro techs on 1st and 2nd shift. I'm also doing all my own work.

Certain people need to stop lumping everyone who uses cannabis under the same category of "pothead." This is a 1 gram vape I got 19 months ago. Still nearly half of it left. Contrast that with @valeroo.bsky.social, who can practically build a house from his used vapes. We are not the same.

Umm...what? If you're willing to donate your pets to a zoo to be torn apart by a predator, they were never really your pet. What kind of sociopathic shit is this? Denmark Zoo asks people to donate unwanted pets to feed predators and imitate ‘natural food chain.’ share.google/XmRyKttCJ721...

These job search apps are so poorly optimized. I specifically do a search for "biology" and I get things like aerospace, electroplating, and robotics. What branch of biology are those? I must have missed that course.

Tonight is going to be a miserable, miserable night at work. I've gotten maybe 4 hours of sleep total since I last got out of work 60 hours ago. I keep dragging myself up every day, hoping that eventually, life will stop sucking. It never does, though.

Our landlord just decided to raise our rent by $500/mo. For a 2br, 1ba, 2nd floor apartment with no dishwasher or garbage disposal. I'm going to have to skip the grace period and immediately hunt for a new job. I quite simply can't afford that sort of robbery on my current wages.

Given the date on Friday, I imagine my feed is going to start exploding with all sorts of do-not-want soon. I'm probably going to take the 5th through the 12th off social media to give that particular content cycle time to run its course. One of the downsides of following so many dragons.

Another week of working at the shitshow is over. I honestly don't even know why they want me there. Nobody listens to me. We had some juice that was 50°+ in its silo, which is well into the danger zone for microbe growth. I told the production supervisor to put it on hold pending micro test results.

Once every couple months, I'll poke my head in over on Xitter. Not to post or anything, I do NOT want the bots to notice me or the app to override my notification settings (again) and spam me with bullshit. I just go to look and document the dumpster fire. It's pretty grim over there. Glad I left.

My job just keeps finding new ways to disappoint. First, a couple weeks ago, they forced me to drive an hour away in the time I'd normally be sleeping to participate in some stupid "safety day" thing at a bowling alley. They offered free food that I didn't want, so that was nice for everyone else.

I'll be honest, I really don't care about the whole Epstein thing. What happened with Trump between 2021 and 2025 has utterly annihilated my belief that powerful people can or will be held accountable. That said, I'm all in favor of relentlessly pushing the topic if it makes the GOP self-destruct.

I wish Audible would implement a filter in their searches that lets users cut out anything narrated by "Virtual Voice." It's annoying enough listening to stilted, uncanny valley narration over a 60 second YouTube video, much less a whole audiobook. So many people are using it now... it's depressing.

How have my politics evolved over the past 3 years? Honestly, there wasn't much room for more movement down and to the left, but I managed it. Today's politics are radicalizing indeed.

Anyone else starting to get some really fucked up ads on YouTube? What is going on with them?

Well, my left ear is in the process of rotting out of my skull. I haven't had an infection this bad in decades. My ear is literally leaking blood and pus. Thankfully, I was able to get in to see my doctor today and got some antibiotics. Took tonight off work, too. Hope it's enough time to heal a bit

Just found myself going down a rabbit hole about why judges and lawyers in the UK wear those hideous dead poodles on their heads. Apparently, it's "to bring a sense of formality and solemnity to the court." I would struggle to take anyone wearing these things seriously, personally.

Also, 4th night of the lab raining. It's gotten into the light fixtures and they're now shorting out. If I die to an electrical fire because this place is too cheap to fix an unplanned indoor waterfall, I'm going to haunt them and foul everything they make with ebola, cancer, and botulism.

I just spent the past 45 minutes yelling at a blender. I printed up a batch sheet for him that gave him a very specific recipe. He decided to take some of the ingredients and divide them by 2. Why? Who knows? It made the acid levels waaay too high though.

So I have a question. If a MAJOR leak were to develop in the ceiling of a Quality Assurance lab in a food prep facility (like several gallons per hour, necessitating trash barrels to catch the dirty, brown water) how long would you expect it to take to get fixed? I promise it's longer than you think
