Tennis is the only sports scoring system that actually makes sense. You hit the ball over the net? Incredible! That's worth at least 15 points. You did it again? Have another 15! You did it a third time? Well you're obviously pretty good at this so you only get 10 this time

$3300 for an MX5 hardtop. I paid $1000 in 2016. 200% gain in ten years. Miata hardtops are a better investment than housing.

the millennial urge to start a new project, tempered by the lack of desire to create another social account, email, website....

i crafted a resume using a gorgeous LaTeX template from 1989 so if I don't get an interview I'll be deeply offended

Korean trispokes for your consideration

Mechwarrior 3 but with the UI and soundtrack of Mechwarrior 2, yes please

it's cold and I'm hungover and thus it was very rewarding to find my laptop lying next to the couch so I can stay snuggly while I review images from my last photoshoot

I'm in this photo and I don't like it

Wednesday went really good okay

After being tagged numerous times in posts about a feminist hacker collective making clay PCBs, I had a sudden realization two nights ago that I might be able to make conductive, solderable pottery glaze, so I tried it. It worked. Today. I made some prototype ceramic PCBs with a 3D printed stamp

Any of them, if your aim is good enough

My kink is cars that you can steer to full lock without the power steering belt screaming its head off

Why can't I sleep for more than five hours a night? Helpppp

My date cancels on me again. The third time. I cry, silently, as I lay in the salon. If the Polish woman grooming my brows notices, she says nothing. "Is it your first time? You're going to look so different!" A tear floods my eye socket, spilling down my cheek.

There's a woman that can smell whether someone is developing Parkinson's disease, believe it or not hackaday.com/2022/09/14/n...

People that hate AI will use an AI-based tool to try and detect if something is written by AI. Even though, as Dana shows here, that the results from these tools are total bullshit. Just like any other AI nonsense!

wear a choker in my corporate headshot (y/n?)

back when McDonalds was big on its customiable burger kick we ordered a burger minus everything but plus 4x Lettuce we got a box of lettuce and we loved it the system worked no, i'm not neurodivergent, why do you ask?

SANDWICHES AREN'T ROUND

zoe goes three days without embarrassing herself challenge (impossible)

i'm sorry at what point did I write for... "Coastal News Today"

realistically if i'd had any success pouring myself into personal projects in the last six months i wouldn't be doing this but i'm so ineffective i might as well waste my time collecting a paycheck instead

is it stupid to get another job when i don't need one just because more money is more better

This was a real killer when Windows keys first showed up on keyboards in the 90s and so many games couldn't handle task switching without crashing

i think the problem is that google docs does just barely well enough that you just rely on that for a few years and then you have to do something serious like make a resume or work up divorce papers and you're like UGH this isn't working for me anyway i stayed up too late and woke up too early

twenty years ago we all had a pirated copy of word 2000 and got on with our day to day lives it's 2026 and nothing on this fucking computer can open a word document without vomiting all over the formatting

update: song ended up being too mean, not sure i can release it

god it's been so long since i applied for a job i miss just talking to people who already know how good i am and just hire me why is this world so unfair zoes should not have to work more

The mistake is believing the coffee has to be perfect every day. A perfect coffee every day becomes just your regular cup and loses all magic and zeal. Leave it to provenance, and take the good cups as they come.

bonus: Yen has a manual 2009 Corolla Seca, one of the rarer cars I've ever been in

go shoot cars with your trans friends

It should be illegal to misgender me if you have smaller boobs than I do

weird party but we looked cute af, ngl

HAVBERG now a trans icon in my circle

People think AI killed journalism but it's really just pure lack of revenue. It's not just advertising, either. People used to pay to read stuff; back in the day, you might pay $10 a month for your special interest magazine. That just doesn't happen anymore.

I was helping a friend fix up some cars and now we're not friends anymore and I kinda just wanna know how the cars are doing

I've been working on a lamp for three months and it's nowhere near as cool as this random thing I saw online today :(

if you have low self-esteem and abandonment issues due to your parents, you need to buy a mid-2000s BMW. When you start the car and drive off, it will automatically lock the doors to keep you safe. Because it cares about you. Because you matter. ❤️

every day is a new torture, i'm so glad i stuck around for this

If I've had three beers I call it "slutty pizza" but I'm trying to have more decorum on the timeline

driving around doing trans stuff because there's no lesbian stuff to do today

zoe start, finish, and release a song within 3 years: challenge rating impossible

haven't been able to sleep more than 6 hours a night in weeks. haven't slept properly in years. I don't think life is repairable under these conditions.

I've also had people do things like get an AI to "resize" an image which does really weird shit. Try to avoid it wherever you can.

I dare Chinese bootleggers to hire one visiting English teacher before committing to their injection molds

at its heart, a date is just rawdogging interacting with someone for a few hours straight no wonder it's hard

late night enchiladas to commiserate another failed project after so many others. I wish I could stop trying. I can't stand getting hurt again.

turns out flights have skyrocketed so trying to book it was pointless. welp. cancelled.

I've had a trip loosely planned for over a month now and I keep meaning to lock it in and buy flights but I keep having huge spikes of depression that honestly just make doing anything seem totally fucking pointless
