  Same. Every time I get to the airport I’m in a state of sheer panic that this time I pushed it too far, and every time I invariably end up waiting at the gate for a while thinking “I could have come half an hour later.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you cheat in games?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I usually go with the experience recommended by the developer (no mods, normal difficulty). Sometimes, though, I get to a point where I realize the developer and I don’t see eye to eye on what the word “fun” means, and I’ll remove all obstacles between me and my ideal experience.

  Indie games have been killing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On the steam forums, there are over TWO THOUSAND PAGES of community questions about "disk write error".⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I look up game info on the steam forums several times a week, and I have found them significantly less contentious than lemmy. I don’t remember ever seeing a “woke” thread. I assume it’s because it’s largely contained to AAA games and I’m usually playing indie games?

  In any case I think it’s an exaggeration to call them “unusable”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Desk jobs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I worked in a Mexican restaurant for two months. I burned my finger on the beans pot on my first day, and my hands were always wet from washing dishes, so it didn’t heal until after I quit.

  I actually like using excel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Got my guys house stuff and a whole new wardrobe⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are some gifts that are good for a lot of people regardless of their interests, but these guides never seem to know any of them and it’s annoying.

  For instance everywhere cold that I’ve lived, people would love another heated blanket, even if they already have one. Or really just any blanket, can’t have too many. Also a good evaporative humidifier is something everyone needs and no one has. It took me 15 years to buy a real carpet cleaner for myself, just check their house while you’re over to see if there’s one lying around. Consumable stuff is great because even if they already have it they can use more soon.

  Guides ignore this kind of thing and pretty much exclusively recommend stuff that most people wouldn’t like due to tastes. “Get them this clip-on book light!” but they only read on tablets, or they already have a light because that problem needed immediate solving, or they simply don’t like the kind you bought because there are so many.

  Anyway the guides are terrible, but they don’t have to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a wonderful feeling⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It snowed pretty hard once in Alabama, and the roads got icy so they cancelled work. Management told us that we would all have to use a day of PTO for this unplanned vacation. I told my boss “Fuck that, I’ll walk to work. You’re not getting my PTO.” and he said “You can’t do that, the building’s locked.”

  I was prepared to become an Issue, but the next day they must have realized how illegal that paper trail was because they retracted the PTO thing.

  A similar, much more severe storm happened a few years later, and I told my boss that I was absolutely not driving to work in my little sedan. He told me he would come pick me up and that I was a big baby, then shows up sliding around in his Prius with no chains or anything. After barely making it in, no one else was at the office and everything was dark. He made me work the full shift anyway before letting me go home, and HR said they wouldn’t give me any consideration for working a day more than everyone else.

  I would rather believe this is AI than real.

  I’ll never get over how cheap it is to buy politicians. They make so much money, then they can be made to vote for a genocide for $3000.

  I only do removals. You’ll need a second appointment to put a new one in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The greatest sword⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I got one of these for christmas. Put it in my luggage, then got pulled aside by TSA. Guy pulls it out and gives me this “Come on, man” look. Ended up letting him keep it, which changed the look to “Well alright, that’s all you had to say my man!”

  I get it!

  But also if you guys haven’t heard of ratchet belts you should try them.

  Seems like painting the curb would be an obvious move from a city planning perspective.

  Been playing the fan made Fallout: London, and noticed yesterday that my saves measure game time in days. So much of my time spent in the wasteland over the years.

  Yeah, people call you a genocide supporter if you vote, because all candidates support Israel some amount.

  She did siphon away some money from him, which can only be good. Also, she probably hates him more than I do,

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon listens to music⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I learned about Grimes from her spot in Cyberpunk 2077. Excited at the potential well of new music I looked her up and first result is a divorce with Musk.

  Come on, man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon can't go home again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I typed in a random string of words in the early days and added “.com”, and I ended up on some forum some random guy in Texas hosted for him and his friends. I was obviously a decade younger than everyone else, but it was the best of the internet. We knew each other well, the link sharing was top notch, no one was making money off of it.

  Checked it recently and it’s been down for a long time. The internet archive caught one snapshot of it in time. I can see my username in the homepage like looking at my own gravestone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Post and user deleted after finding out Ai was used⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I had to memorize Shakespeare sonnet 68 in high school, it’s basically about how a person who doesn’t wear powder or wigs made out of dead people’s hair is much more interesting and beautiful for showing their age. It’s never been more relevant than here:

  Thus is his cheek the map of days outworn,\
  When beauty liv'd and died as flowers do now,\
  Before the bastard signs of fair were borne,\
  Or durst inhabit on a living brow;\
  Before the golden tresses of the dead,\
  The right of sepulchres, were shorn away,\
  To live a second life on second head;\
  Ere beauty's dead fleece made another gay.\
  In him those holy antique hours are seen,\
  Without all ornament, itself and true,\
  Making no summer of another's green,\
  Robbing no old to dress his beauty new;\
     And him as for a map doth Nature store,\
     To show false Art what beauty was of yore.

  I realized this last visit that my stylist has been cutting my beard shorter and shorter while I’ve been trying to grow it out. This last time they went really short and asked me how it looks and my day was ruined.

  My boss’ boss gives everyone a Lindt chocolate on their start date anniversary, which is nice and all but if I WFH for a few days or simply don’t see him for a while, then when he finally gives it to me he says something like “I haven’t seen you around for a while?” and now it looks bad. Keep the chocolate just stop thinking about me.
