@KawaSeadrake I am trying to find a Chrome extension I'm allowed to use in the office to block myself from the political argument boards at work. They exist, but my employer doesn't trust any browser extension they didn't write or audit; maybe I'll have to learn Javascript, the Chrome API, and write my own...

I am having a weird and intense wave of nostalgia for double-clicking the upper left corner menu icon for a program to close it

@KawaSeadrake Political arguments and highly contentious topics of business judgment at work, pessimistic/apocalyptic news, obsessing on the most difficult things in my life at all times, etc.

When I was growing up, someone in my family was always sick or in some kind of crisis. I guess I got used to that and I feel like I'm irresponsible if I'm not in the middle of some kind of disaster, or if I'm thinking about or doing anything else while something is ongoing

...I've been using "Seeking out sources of stress" as a form of compulsive self-harm for *years*.

I need to stop. I may need help doing it.

Someday, I expect to commute to the office via smartphone-hailed autonomous helicopter

I’m sorry I have an intense urge to apologize about everything

@emanate I thought POW-MIA flags referred to an Indian reservation.

I also mistook at least two Federal prisons for high schools. They had outdoor exercise equipment, high fences with razor wire, and a general “government institution” sort of brutalist architecture, how could I tell the difference?

And thus marks the first time I've had to use cell phone disassembly prying tools to break into a laptop so I could add a hard drive to a secondary drive bay the laptop was designed with. They didn't include the cable connecting the drive to the motherboard, so I had to email customer service for a disk tray and cable, then install it myself.

Got it done though!

@Jacel @anthracite I will look forward to this with baited breath, because it sounds kinda fishy.

@Jacel @anthracite This sounds like what bothered me about The Magic Circle. Even the parts that weren’t “the game is unfinished lol” were terribly performed. The game was playable but I couldn’t stand the voice acting

@green isn't "owl stuffing" your actual volunteer job

It's frustrating how stress and exhaustion just eats an entire day sometimes. I wish it would do that less often.

I do not know how I never saw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk-5RVMerfI before but I am glad I did

It’s all just excuses to hide from conflict and confrontational or prickly people anyway.

Why are cell phone manufacturers so enthusiastic about “Woo every single part of this thing is a screen! Oh my god look at it! A screeeeeeeen, we made a fucking screeeeeen!!!!” like some sort of strange tropical bird mating call?

I mean, why are they right? I kinda wish my entire phone was a screen, too, I just think next year’s version will be the one that works.

I have my slow cooker full of turkey, onions, and garlic soup base. We’ll see how this works out - I usually use powdered onion soup for seasoning instead; this is a variation on that plan.
