Why am I getting “suggested videos” in my Discover feed? Ffs we do not need videos in everything.

Oh shit letsggooooooo

This is the cartoon version of my ex

Subscriptions are out of control. I've gone back to analog methods whenever and wherever possible.

#TIL there is such a thing as competitive parallel parking.

who remembers this? I loved playing with this as a kid and my parakeet did too lol. She'd run in and out of the little rooms, chirping with excitement.

just read about the Firefox plan to get rid of adblockers. I wish them luck. Adblockers will continue being developed and used as long as ads remain the menace that they are. People are SICK TO DEATH of ads.

this my estimation of what the criticism of men feels like to them the last several years, based on their reactions:

"when was the last time you finished a workout and didn't immediately look at your stats, but instead just noticed how you felt?" - why I got rid of my smart wearables last month.

Real talk: the holidays kinda suck. My SD recently told me that I "ruined the fun" and "spoiled surprises" bc I dared ask a question about a gift. The older I get, the less I care about the holidays and most people in it. Not everyone gets the warm fuzzies.

HUZZAH there's a scientific reason my cup of care is empty

Gemini is getting ads next year too. I’ll add that to the list of AIs I won’t be using.

 I’ve started 2026 early 😈

everyone has that one relative that never received any discipline while growing up and boy howdy does it show.

decided to do the christmas thing and see TSO last night. Music meh, light show ok, venue seating cramped and very uncomfortable, w/ nightmare traffic and building access opposite the handicap parking w/ several flights of stairs req'd btw. Not worth the $$$.

Aliens probably roll up windows and lock doors as they fly by earth while tsk-tsking “Bad neighborhood “

pfft, as if there's anything worth seeing in theaters anymore. I think I went to see one theater movie last year. Bc my town is an hour in any direction from any theater, I'd rather rent it at home than pay for overpriced snacks plus the gas to get there.

Guess which streamer will now probably be raising prices (again)?

also this, since today is the day I change all the linens in the house (lots of hot takes today lol)

last time i checked they were all attached, so why aren't they all covered together?? ooooh that's right, PROFITS.

Amirite??

It's disturbing how little critical thinking and reading comprehension exists nowadays. My in-laws have shockingly low reading comprehension skills as well as pretty low critical thinking skills. Trying to explain or reason just gets a blank stare.

Point of irritation: podcasts will frequently flee one platform mid season and continue on another platform without continuity between. Super annoying bc I refuse to have 70 diff podcast apps on my phone.

It’s rampant. Side effects include lack of critical thinking, orange skin, word salad, criminal behavior, and the absence of moral decency.

When there’s nothing but dreck on tv it’s time to watch British Baking on Netflix

When the line between high fashion and what the hell happened gets a little thin 🤣

F that. Immediately uninstalled.

on my list for personal work in 2026

used to be fascinated how much terrible world history was caused by drunk teenagers until I lived to see how damage improperly medicated geriatrics could do

two thoughts upon waking this morning: "(while staring at a pill bottle) did I already take this?" and "stop asking me what I'm doing - you know it's time for enrichment activities in my enclosure" #retiredspouse #retirementdiaries

Do I??

The older I get the more I understand why the grinch wanted to stay home with his dog.

Why does every family get together always end up with the older members discussing health issues, who’s in the hospital, and who died??

No one talks about the fact that adulthood means having a favorite burner on the stove.

new fun holiday tradition 😝

here's an idea lol:

just sayin'

This bird looks as if it wants to speak to the manager 😂

Gobble Day was nice for once this year bc I had a full on convo with my 12 yo grandson (in STEM btw) about Linux, gaming, and tech in general while the rest of the fam sat in shocked silence bc they had no idea what we were talking about. LOL'd all the way home.

A little social media palate cleanser for everyone who needs it ❤️

Funny how no one needs anything until I need to make a phone call. Suddenly I need to answer them right away, right now, omg why aren't you replying??

it's Black Friday, when hordes of people rush to buy things they don't need, with money they don't have, to give to people they don't like. Seems like a good day to stay home and read a book with a cup of tea and some calm music.

Doing my nails up in beautiful colors is a waste of time if it’s just going to chip off after washing up. Binned it all.

unpopular opinion, but it's ridiculous that Steamlink and Meta Quest Link are Win only apps. We Mac users would like to participate too you know. Don't make the app if you can't make it for both OS's. Rant over lol.

while waiting for the turkey to be ready, I'm watching the nerdiest thing imaginable: The Microsoft Excel World Championships. Didn't know this was a thing??
