YEAH THAT SOUNDS FUCKING HORRIBLE, TORTURE REALLY.

I however am the rare american who is enjoying my third uninterrupted week of total freedom. This is because I was fired from my job three weeks ago. Corporate restructuring my ass.

The time is nice and I did get some severance, but there is zero enjoyment knowing that if I don’t land a job soon, I will be hard fucked. Sorry kids, we are canceling music lessons, and any other recreations until your loser unemployed parent can get work again. Wheee!

Balance requires the desire to achieve it. Keep trying, you’ll get there.

I’m old and I think they’re fucking hilarious. I think what you’re missing is the “be a moron” part.

Beans

The hell with raw doggin life.

I think of it like sunlight. In videos from space, you can see the sun without the filter of our atmosphere. It is the harshest evil white burning light you can imagine. However, because of our delightful atmosphere, we get golden hour evenings, pink sunsets, warm mornings.

Life without pills is like sunlight without atmosphere.

That, also cat and dog. I am the feeder, brusher, vet-taker. Mr. Meowmeow and Ms. Fluffy would be very sad. That won’t do at all.

Good to see @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world is here to offer sage advice.

I make it a point to steal a little something every time I’m forced to use these.

Big box hardware stores appear to have zero people to check you out anymore, so they all give me something every time I shop.

Pro tip: they won’t bother if you dont steal anything expensive. Additionally, there are cameras in the ceiling that are working with the register to see what is in the cart and determine if you have scanned everything. Buy a cardboard box (cheapest thing that works). Lay it over your cart. Put stuff under it and now the system cant see your cart to determine if you stole something. A GFCI outlet or two never seem to go noticed.

The day he left. Watched him pack up his shit and stood at the end of the driveway in tears watching him drive away. He moved out of state, rarely called, almost never visited. I was seven years old.

As a father, I could not dream of doing that. The only thing that piece of shit was good for was an example of what not to do. I love my kids so much, I cannot understand how much of a heartless fuck you’d have to be to just piss off like that. If you’ve ever done this to your kids, you are a good for nothing piece of shit.

Hope the flames are keeping you toasty you rotten bastard, I’ll be up here enjoying my own kids quite a lot!

Gonna make myself unpopular here. No to Bosch. Overpriced and overhyped. You pay a premium and get little in return. I installed my own and rather than just connecting the power to a standard electrical connection, you have to (or you have to pay someone) to wire in a proprietary electrical connection box. The dishwasher has a special cable that connects to their weird receptacle. No idea why, helps nothing, adds labor without benefit. Bosch dishwashers do not use heating coils to dry the dishes. They use the residual heat of the water to dry. My experience is that this is not very effective as well as slow. Some have a means to ventilate themselves (fans, mechanism to open door, etc). This helps, but adds complexity, failure points and is still slow. I gave up after my last (third one) Bosch would not clean nor dry properly after it was about four years old. Took it apart, cleaned crud out of pump and bottom end. Came to conclusion that the pump was no longer able to move water at a sufficient pressure to spray the dishes. Was more of a weak sprinkler effect. No idea why it would not dry. It never dried well from the beginning.
I have since switched to a whirlpool (kitchen aid) with a heating coil. One year in being run 2x a day and no issues so far. Dishes are clean and dry. Bought a simpler model without nonsense like wifi, apps, lights, floor projection or anything else. I run one setting: auto.

A robot told me: The Meta/Yandex exploit worked by having JavaScript running on a website (such as Meta Pixel) connect from the browser to a native app on the same device via the localhost (127.0.0.1) interface, using HTTP, WebSocket, or WebRTC. This communication occurs entirely within the device and does not traverse the network in a way that browser extensions like uBlock Origin can intercept or block. Browser extensions generally cannot block or even see requests made to localhost sockets, especially when those requests are initiated by scripts running in the browser and targeting native apps on the same device

Last thing I played was Inside. Being an adult with a family and demanding work leaves little free time. Some house project always seems to pop up. I feel guilty taking a lot of time to fuck off. Reading a book feels like a better way to spend free time, also more enriching. When I play a game, it is an indulgence like eating candy. I’m at the age where I want more than just consuming media. I’d rather learn something or make something. Also, I’m way out of touch with gaming culture and unlikely to catch up.

Are you 70?

This is the correct answer. Celery is an ingredient, not something you eat on its own. You CAN eat raw onion chunks, but most don’t. Better as an ingredient.

Choccy chips.

Who the hell still eats raisins?! I thought society at large had decided we were done with them.

Raisins is nasty.

I had one of those too. Every so often, bad baby would scoot off the mat it 3am. Nothing like the absolute fucking panic of hearing that alarm going off when you’re dead asleep and now halfway to juniors room before you wake up only to find he scooted off the mat. AGAIN.

I don’t miss the pure anxiety of being a new parent. I had forgotten about that thing and I’m so glad it is a faded memory.
