  Roommates is we describe ourselves to the nosey Trumpian electrician. It’s not a lie. We do share a room. And a bed. Amongst other things.

  I’ll have to read this some other time when I’m feeling a little smarter and can understand the words. But I do love some home made fruit fly traps! When there’s a teenager in the house and it’s warm outside, they are a miracle.

  For me, Hollow Knight started out a bit rough, got fun and interesting, but ultimately, I lost interest in trying to finish. There were parts which were a lot of fun, but eventually it became nothing more than a chore. And I’ve got too many other REAL chores to let a game like this stress me out. So I set it aside without finishing it.

  Despite that, I’m looking forward to this sequel. I likely won’t be a day one buyer (but who knows???), but I’m still pretty sure I will eventually play it. I’m hoping there are some nice game play and story improvements, but even more of the same could be nice.

  Where do you find vaginas large enough for motorcycles or motorcycles small enough for the vagina? Asking for a friend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gives a former president some feedback⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Gonna be honest, the idiom/meme “had one job” is almost never correct or appropriate and the role of president is certainly a situation where it does not apply. I find it irksome, most of the time, when people say/type it, without actually thinking things through and applying it appropriately. Don’t care if it is an unpopular opinion because it is a fact that it is used incorrectly the vast majority of the time and haters gonna hate, only true appreciators gonna appreciate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Back in late 2023 or early 2024, I was doing chat support with one of the major US e-retailers due to a return & refund situation that I was honestly expecting to be a problem because that type of thing pretty much always is for some reason.

  I ended up getting escalated to a higher tier tech named Muhammad who was miraculously able to quickly address the problem that his peers seemingly could not. At the end of our interaction, Muhammad thanked me for my patience and kindness, and replied something along the lines of “see you on the other side.”

  For some reason that random and otherwise meaningless expression has stuck with me ever since. Hardly a week goes by without me thinking about it at least once.

  It was a reminder that our time here is limited. And while I’m not a big believer that there is another “side” like I assume someone named Muhammad believes, it was still somehow comforting and an important reminder of perspective.

  Instead of: “They’re a disgusting troglodyte” Say: They are clearly ingenious enough to recognize the utility of having a stable living environment to retreat to for protection that’s superior to any structure they could possibly build using the technology and techniques available to them at the time.

  If it’s got platformer elements, then it’s a platformer, right? Yes? Then Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is it for me.

  I won’t say it’s my favorite, but I didn’t see it mentioned, yet, and it definitely deserves at least one mention: Earthworm Jim

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨danger noodles⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love, love, love, love, love hognose snakes!

  I was a young kid the first time I encountered one in the wild. The hognose lifted the front half of its body off the ground, flattened its neck, and hissed at me like a cobra when I got a little too close. I was the type of kid who just HAD to catch them all, and I knew for sure it couldn’t be a cobra, so I persisted. Then the snake rolled over on its back, opened its mouth, stuck its tongue out, and slobbered in an ill fated attempt to appear dead. It was so “dead” that when I rolled it back upright, it immediately rolled over on its back again. Like any dead thing would do.

  Just overall super neat behavior and comical to say the least.

  Certainly a much more entertaining deterrent than most of the other snakes in my area that just seem to shit themselves and emit disgusting smelling mess in the process.

  I’m with you, hon. I totally get the cliche of womens’ fashion and the lack of adequate pockets. I just don’t get how these photos are at all related. At best, these vultures look like stereotypical flashers in a trench coat exposing themselves to strangers than anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No need to use my full name⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My uncle’s name is Sir Benjamin Theodore Jameson Preston Livingstone Senior the Third, but he was better known as One Ball by his family, social circle, neighborhood, and coworkers. He lost a testicle to an alligator attack when I was 12 and ever since then, that’s what everyone calls him. Supposedly couldn’t have children, but somehow he did end up with a daughter. Granted she had blonde hair and blue eyes, so who knows where that might’ve come from. Certainly didn’t come from Jing Ho’s family.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨life changed due to shrimp⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shrimp, shrimp. Good for the heart. The more you eat them, the more you fart.

  No, but, yeah, but no, but raising freshwater shrimp is surprisingly easy. It’s very relaxing and entertaining to watch them go about their shrimpy lives. The truly freshwater species can complete their entire lifecycle in freshwater, which simplifies the whole set-up compared to many tropical saltwater and brackish varieties, and which also means you can have perpetual shrimp once you reach a critical mass.

  Granted, there are some finicky varieties of freshwater shrimp that might be stressful to raise because if you so much as sneeze in their general direction, they’ll die. Or if you don’t tightly control the population via culling and/or separate out different color varieties, you can end up with a population that no longer produces bright colors. Also, there are various species of shrimp that are passed off as “freshwater” but which actually require salt and/or brackish water environments to reliably breed them in cultivation or which may be impossible to actually breed. So you definitely should do some research before you dive in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do tell!!!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The secret to good tuna salad is to add something crunchy (celery, water chestnut, firm relish), something sweet (sweet relish, pinch of sugar), hard boiled egg yolk or diced whole hard boiled egg, and a small amount of breadcrumbs or crushed crackers to absorb excess moisture, with crackers being slightly tastier due to added sodium but breadcrumbs being preferred if you need to reduce sodium. You can also substitute canned salmon or similar for the tuna if mercury and pollutants are a cause for concern. And of course, a dollop of real mayonnaise, not artificially sweetened, hydrogenated and whipped vegetable byproduct.

  If you just cut out a half dozen eggs per day from your budget, you’ll be fine. And if that’s not enough. then make coffee at home and stop ordering avocado toast, too. Did you know you can also sell your plasma for money and I think they even take gay people’s blood now, too.
