“Boomer company pushes boomer policies, more at 10.”

This is a common occurrence at my home as well. When there’s heavy rain frogs get caught in our window wells, some make it inside, some get caught between the windows and screen. I just put on a pair of gloves, fish em out and set them free on higher ground.

Once my cat frantically came yowling up the stairs with a frog in her mouth. Set it down gently, unharmed and stared at me loudly meowing as if to say “look what I found, WTF is this? Do something about it.”

Too expensive. Not owner repairable. Too much unnecessary tech baked in.

There’s a path forward for EV’s, but I don’t think the current philosophy is it.

Safe to say Bungie no longer cares about retaining high quality talent.

Toss it on the pile.

Been that way for a while. When I was a kid I remember copays were $20 and almost everything was covered under good insurance. Now I pay close to $1000 a month and still have massive out of pocket costs and deductible. The bulk of my debt is medical and is only mounting. The US healthcare system is broken.

Windows 10 will be my last Windows operating system. It’s been fine and it works well enough. I’ve already started setting up a drive with Linux Mint 22 for use moving forward.

As a Minnesotan, fuck Tom Emmer. Most Minnesotans can’t stand that piece of shit.

Remember when the right lost their minds when Kathy Griffin decapitated a fake Trump head?

Spotify is an evil company. Bad for artists, bad for consumers. I’m glad to have quit using their service.

Let’s maybe not focus solely on this, instead maybe on policy? Real problems Americans are facing every day is going to win more votes. Making the entire campaign about gender issues isn’t alone going to win shit.

So Pearl Jam isn’t just a dumb group of kids that know nothing?

Just another huge ass company that values short term profits over its employees and customers. Probably won’t be buying any more of their products.

Yeah, I was in Costco buying new cookie sheets and an old lady said it was so nice that I was helping out. Lady, they’re for me, I’m the baker here.

Universal Healthcare was a losing platform because it was vilified as being “communism”. It also didn’t sit well with wealthy donors and rich democrats. It also wasn’t part of Biden’s agenda. Obamacare was.

And I’m sure that’s to better compensate the artists, right?… right?

Any Google smartwatch. I bought 2 at one point. A sport and a dress watch. Both only lasted about a year before the software rendered them useless. I’m now back on analogue watches.

Abandon Harris over Gaza is 2024’s Kanye for president. This narrative is being pushed by the right and the fact that Trump asked Netanyahu to wait for a ceasefire until after the election is proof.

Call their bluff. There’s a lot of money for this kind of service in the metro. Big rideshare is just trying to maintain the status quo.

The Expanse

Mr Hogan, is a racist, union busting piece of shit.

T…. Time to leave?

“You won’t own anything, and you’ll like it.”

Frey isn’t going to last long here. Lots of Minnesotans dislike him across the political spectrum, for obvious reasons.

My favorite fun fact of this story is that the HMS Resolute also became trapped in the ice searching for Franklin’s lost expedition. After it was recovered, the timbers from the HMS Resolute were then used to create the resolute desk that was gifted to the U.S. and now sits in the Oval Office.

Yeah as far as legislation goes he’s been one of the most effective presidents we’ve had. It’s been overshadowed by the media, constant rhetoric about his age and the small handful of mistakes he made. All in all he’s been good.

Over COVID I bought a new guitar. It had been probably a decade since I stopped playing and suddenly found myself with a lot of free time. This absolutely was the best impulse buy as it reinvigorated my love of playing and I’ve since made it part of my daily ritual. It’s done wonders for my well being and mental health.

I bought a brother laser printer when I started working from home full time over the pandemic. Best printer I’ve ever had. Does it’s job and asks for very little.

Feeling good. It's early, and I know we need to keep that in mind. That said, more of the communities I used to follow have started setting up shop here and that is a good feeling. Now with Memmy on the App-store I feel at home and don't have much if any real reason to go back to Reddit.

I mean President Camacho was at least smart enough to appoint Not Sure to secretary of the interior. I don’t think Trump would have the foresight to do that.

The worst way to die would be getting hit by a shitbox Tesla. RIP.

There are dozens of us!

The for-profit healthcare system is full of corporate greed and corruption.

He must’ve hurt Musk’s fee fees.

Twitter has never been great, just easy to use and widely adopted. It’s gotten worse under Musk and mostly appeals to the worst people left on the platform.

I’ve been on a few. My family loves them, but I am not particularly fond of them. They’re a super convenient way to see a lot of tourist attractions in a short period of time if you find the right one, but your time is limited at each port. I do feel guilty about the ecological impact of the cruise industry, not to mention some of the working conditions of the staff can’t be ideal. I am an introvert who dislikes crowds, I have a fear of open water, and I get motion sick easily. So they’re generally a pretty miserable experience for me, personally. It’s even worse if there’s high pressure sales or lousy patrons aboard. For example I was aboard one that really pushed jewelry and vacation package sales. The at sea days were just long super sale events. I kind of felt a side eye by some of the sales people, like they thought I was going to steal something. Truth was I didn’t want any of the crap they were selling. Dining can be hit or miss. The more affordable the cruise, the less tolerable the food is over time. I’ve had very few run-ins with grumpy people, but it happens. People overall can be rude following rules, such has hogging the sun chairs all day long, every day, or bringing noisy kids into adult only areas. If I can help it, I would prefer to not go on one ever again, but my family may drag me kicking and screaming again. I do think the right cruise could be fun if you were going with friends instead of family. A adults only party cruise could be fun in my mind. Keeping track of kids or boomer family makes the experience less enjoyable. If I were to do that, I would pack loads of Dramamine. Drink packages are a rip-off unless you’re an alcoholic. I had one once and it took a lot of drinking just to break even.

I do use Windows for a lot of specific programs, but this behavior is really pushing me to Linux and to find alternatives to the software I use.

I mean, how else are you gonna make the sandwich anyway?

Big difference between allowing someone to work on your farm, vs owning someone and forcing them to work and they can’t leave. What a total piece of shit with a dumbass false equivalency.

The Wind Waker for me. At the time, the open world and sea felt so massive, and the colorful cell-shaded graphics made me feel like I was immersed in a cartoon. I played other Zelda games before, but it was the first one to hold my attention all the way to the end. To me, it’s one of those games I wish I could experience again for the first time.
