  Duh. If they let you see how it’s done, then you’ll know how to do it yourself. And once you know how to do it yourself, you won’t need to buy one of their expensive machines every time you want to wash dishes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wanna Ride This Bussy?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, things like this can result from not providing a supportive environment where queer persons and their allies feel comfortable enough to unmask and freely discuss why “bussy” probably isn’t the best terminology to use in external communications.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT’S THE FEDS!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Worst that’s happened to me is that I was detained and questioned by the cops while they investigated my “grow operation”. I had some old school grow lights in my kitchen window for my window sill plants and a potted hibiscus outside on my deck.

  It’s sad that the cops couldn’t immediately tell the difference between hibiscus and weed nor were they aware that people can grow indoor house plants under those pink/purple fluorescent lights which for sure wouldn’t be strong enough to grow marijuana to begin with.

  It’s also funny that my neighbor at the time actually was growing weed on his front patio, and they never seemed to notice in the 5 or so years I lived next door.

  This reminds me of a site I used to visit every once in awhile back in the day. It was known for 2 things and 2 things only. Loved it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon attends a funeral⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  30 years ago, I was dating a guy whose family’s love language was mean, spiteful shouting at the top of their lungs at each other. His mom and his sister, in particular, seemed to despise me right from the start of our relationship. My boyfriend insisted that they both liked me, though, and had a special place in their heart for me. The sister and mother both made it clear that they believed I was not good enough for him but also acted like I was too good for him.

  Towards the end of our relationship, my boyfriend’s brother-in-law passed away suddenly and tragically due to a drug overdose. I was on a trip out of town when it happened, but I was able to get back home the morning of the funeral. Because I’d been out of town, I hadn’t actually gotten a chance to talk to my boyfriend’s sister or any of the family before hand.

  We get to the funeral and there’s a line of friends and family going in, each person stopping to talk to the widow. While in line my boyfriend told me that his sister was maintaining her composure well, but that she’s probably going to break down when she sees me because she didn’t think I was going to be there, and how it was going to mean so much to her that I was able to make it. Really talking it up.

  Finally we get up there to her, and I said something like “I’m so sorry, how are you holding up?”

  The sister’s whole demeanor just flipped. She immediately went into rage mode, “How the fuck do you think I’m holding up? My husband just died.” She didn’t quite yell it, but she said it loudly enough that everyone there could hear it. Awkward. To be honest, she was a hateful person in general and lashed out in pain, but come on.

  Anyway, I know it’s not fair to judge, but she did move on to a new man (her dead husband’s drug dealer) in a matter of weeks after the funeral. I mean, good for her, of course, but it does make people talk.

  I’m in the USA, so if they were made in China they’d probably cost me $30 USD by now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They encased the filter⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If they were cheap and not made in China, I would buy these. They look neat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Front is back.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To get around back, go left. Because left is right and right is wrong so the only thing left that’s right is left.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP obsolete tech⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was just thinking “I need to burn some music CDs for when I travel”, just in case.

  I went on a car trip earlier this year, but forgot my bluetooth to aux adapter. I tried to buy one while I was on the road, but places were sold out, didn’t carry them, or they only sold them via online orders.

  As luck would have it, I still had some old CDs I’d burned 20ish years ago sitting in my glove compartment! I honestly did not expect them to work because they’d likely spent at least the last decade+ in that glove compartment, enduring extremes of heat and cold. They were scratched to hell and back and I had always heard that they degrade and become unreadable after a certain amount of time, even under ideal storage conditions.

  Luckily for me, though, they mostly worked. I think there were a couple of songs on one disc that skipped a bunch, and everything else played fine. I rediscovered a few great songs from my youth that I’d not heard in so long that I’d practically forgotten about them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOOM: The Dark Ages | Review Thread⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looking at the game’s minimum requirements, I’m not sure I how well my available hardware will work. Granted, it’ll probably be some time before I play the game unless there’s a free demo available. I’m more of a patient gamer type and I still haven’t played through Eternal yet (and may not).

  Honestly, from the descriptions and reviews I’ve seen, Dark Ages game play style sounds like it’s a sharp turn away from Eternal, which means it might be more my thing. Granted, I’m also seeing a lot of folks saying it’s super heavy into story telling and cut scenes. Not that I have a big problem with those things, but I enjoy that they’re kind of light in earlier entries of this series.

  Can’t you just make your own shoes? All you have to do is build your own shoe factory and then hire a bunch of illegals and children to work under the table for cash. You don’t even need a website, just sell the shoes on Facebook Market Place. That’s literally all there is to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unfair is what it is⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t have ankles. They don’t have testicles. They are missing a bunch of ribs. They don’t fart. They don’t even have a Y chromosome. At a certain point, it’s probably easier to list the things they do have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s basically my Pandora experience. They’ll have ads where if you click to watch a video, you’ll get X amount of time, usually an hour, ad free. There’s about a 50% chance the ad will cause the app to crash, but only AFTER the ad finishes playing. And once I start the app up again, it doesn’t remember the offer or that I watched the ad. Same thing if I close the app, accidentally or otherwise. If I start it back up, that ad free hour is gone.

  I’ve not seen anybody use a vape inside a retail store, so I can’t speak to that part. I just assumed it was covered by the same or similar laws as smoking tobacco products inside businesses.

  On the other hand, my limited experience with some of the younger generations is that they’re way more comfortable with driving while under the influence of thc than older generations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Literal interpretation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every night in my DMs.

  I see poo, I feel poo.

  That is how I know you, go poop.

  Far across the distance.

  And spaces between us.

  You have come to show you, go poop.

  Near, fart, wherever you are.

  I believe that the shart does go on.

  Once more you open the back door.

  And you’re here in my heart and my heart will go poo and poo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm jealous⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Peppers and cucumbers are the traumatic forced abortions of the plant world. Broccoli and cauliflower are the amputated sex organs of the plants that were cut from their bodies. Celery, brussel sprouts, and artichokes are severed limbs of plants. This is a literal mass grave of dead and dying vegetation, an alter to the horrific mutilation and abuse perpetrated on an entire kingdom of life by humans. A final act of humiliation before we condemn them to the hell of cooking and consumption. I doubt the spray mist provides much comfort.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doom: The Dark Ages | Official Trailer 2 | Available May 15, 2025⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My opinion is subject to change, since I do plan to eventually give Eternal another attempt, but I know why I like 2016 better. It’s because I can go at my own pace and have the freedom to play the battle scenarios out how I want to (for the most part).

  Eternal basically tells you early on, you have to go, go, go, go, go. Keep moving or you die. I find that kind of annoying.

  But then the fact that you’re almost constantly being forced to use every single button, skill, weapon, etc on-demand, in very specific ways with a fair amount of precision basically kills the joy for me. I don’t get to play games much, sometimes it’s weeks or months between sessions. I can’t keep up with all that bullshit and it sucks nearly every last drop of fun out of the game if I have to waste my limited fun time having to relearn all the mechanics.

  I just want to casually rip and tear for fun. Eternal felt like a micromanaging boss constantly telling me that I’m doing things wrong and behind on my unrealistic deadlines.
