Bleh... I like how appliance repair company's diagnostics fee magically went up by 30 bucks over the holiday. They even partially updated their website with the new prices but not the descriptions.

Of course after we cancelled the first appointment because things were working fine the next day.. it starts having issues again all weekend long. Don't buy LG appliances. :(

Probably the best compressed battletech lore blurb I've seen

I am not career ambitious. This is a problem because I don't really feel a drive to push for improving my job. I just want to make enough to leave some money left over after bills and housing to buy neat stuff without worry, doing a job that doesn't destroy my motivation every other day.

Serious "What If" Question 

If you could snap your fingers and make the internet: • Cease to exist
• All memory of it vanishes
• No modems either
• Software is sold and moved primarily using thumbdrives

Would you do it?

Fucking damnit... looks like the evap coil on our fridge went boom.... it is not cooling below 60F and there is a ton of water and condensation

Atleast all the meat is taken care of, stuffed in cooler with ice, same with fresh veggies meant for this week.

Have a tech that will be coming out to look at it tomorrow.. hopefully shit won't be too pricey.

That's pretty much where I'm at... at lease in the US.. both sides are full of shit and it is much easier to continue polarizing their bases rather than addressing a basic question like "How to do we heal?" or "How do we resolve these differences?"

I focus on what I can do in my own spaces and areas of influence rather than the shit storm going on else where.

That feeling when you can't remember if you took your pay attention pill or not, :blobwaitwhat: and you're weary of taking one 'cause if you take two it makes you vibrate out of your body :blobastonished:

Things I wish people would tell me:

It's okay to be queer and not be some counter-cultural revolutionary. It doesn't invalidate you or make you any less of who you are, and it doesn't mean you don't belong. It's okay to just be who you are - and if that means just living your life and trying to find peace, that's perfectly acceptable.

Decided to see what would happen if I trained a neural net to write names for self-aware AIs.

re: US Politics: Nancy Pelosi 

@mawr 100% with you there... at least Fiensthief is gone.

US Politics: Nancy Pelosi 

I fucking hate Nancy Pelosi.

Her seat would better serve progressive interests if it were filled by a fucking Republican, and that's not something I'll say about literally any other elected official in office today.

Elsewhere, #HugATailDay is a thing on Fridays. If you need a kobold tail to hug or a kobold hugging your tail, just ask!
