Is this a thing? I’d feel like I was punishing a kid for having broke parents.

My family is never going to return the favor. Should’ve gone to school instead of taking care of them.

Nah, I’m pretty tired of the whole idea that liking animals is a prerequisite to being a good person. I was raised by an animal hoarder and I’ve had people lose their shit at me for saying I don’t like birds, or that I don’t date bird owners because I don’t want to live with birds.

I’ve never been cruel to a bird but I’ve had to tell casual acquaintances about my fucked up childhood to get them off my case. That’s not fair. Maybe don’t judge people for such pointless shit.

I thought “I could care less” was a sarcastic way of saying “I couldn’t care less”.

Sonic the Hedgehog soundtracks, specifically the songs with vocals. Haven’t kept up with the series in a while but my playlist has songs from everything from Sonic CD to Sonic and the Black Knight. I’m sure some of it is actually good music and some I only like because it reminds me of Sonic.

I guess it’ll take a few more dates before I show her What I’m Made of…

RSS is so handy, it’s a shame it’s not as supported as it used to be. I used to read a ton of webcomics, not all of them with consistent release schedules, some of them on social media sites I don’t use much, and RSS was how I kept track of them all.

I don’t use Spotify anymore, but I miss Discover Weekly. When it missed, it really missed, but I still found a lot of artists through it.

It’s a joke, he changed his name to Ye

Add 鈴木哲哉 to your list of muted words to make this community usable again.

Is it a known thing that they discontinued canoe or something?

I used to get up at 5am and had to get ready for work in the dark so I didn’t wake my family. I’m a klutz and fumbling with my phone’s flashlight constantly just got annoying.

I ended up making a little script so that between 5am and 5:30, shaking the phone turned the flashlight on. After 5:30 the sensor turns off to save battery, since I didn’t really need it at that point.

You can do all kinds of handy little things like that

Had a pint of blood drawn today. I feel dizzy and heavy and very hot 😭

This right here!! Take all my updoots

He’s so cute 🥺 I love his lil plump face

The worst part in my experience was actually getting numbed. You can’t see the needle going in so a lot of people with needle phobias won’t have any problem, but for me the feeling of a needle is repulsive. After that it was smooth sailing, just a bit boring.

The pop culture reputation of dentists as literal torturers is pretty outdated. Medicine has improved a lot in a short amount of time. Just look up reviews before picking your dentist, and don’t cheap out if you can help it.

I hope not, I wanna become a corpse and fertilize some cool plants.

I usually hibernate just because I usually have several projects open at once and like to dive back in quickly. But ever since upgrading to Windows 10 a million years ago, my computer is possessed and turns itself back on, eventually goes into standby, and won’t come out without a hard reset.

In the years since I’ve neither identified and fixed the problem, nor remembered to shut down instead of hibernate. I just do hard resets a lot now.

Not the most outrageous story but I saw two guys get into a head-on collision at 10mph. I still wonder how neither of them saw it coming.

Rejection hurts but I still feel good about myself for making the first move. It reminds me I have the guts to try again with a new person.

Seeing them with someone else sucks because it reminds me I dragged my feet and didn’t even try.

When I was a kid I absolutely loved The Chronicles of Narnia and I hated The Last Battle. I thought King Tirian was an unpleasant asshole and I thought killing the Pevensies sucked because they all go to Narnia Heaven forever while Susan has to bury them.

It probably wasn’t a bad book but it felt like it ended my childhood.
