maybe lewd
Am I really the first person to see the name Philip Drinker, or first initial P. and think "Oh, haha, pee drinker"?
Thanks, Sharter Spectrum, for throttling my upstream to 5Mbps! #spectrum #spectrumsucks
Disregard that. There are too many people we know here, and it's not the most expensive thing we do running this server.
Hear me out: #soysauce but with the consistency of #barbecuesauce
#suckurity #security gee, my attempt to foil a "security" questions system with randomly generated secret answers, foiled by a site that asks the questions as multiple choice and fills the "wrong" answers with a dictionary of likely answers to the pre-chosen questions
How weird is it that I am likely to pronounce ubiquitous as oo-bee-KWEE-shus
I think I witnessed a tragedy of some sort tonight with an Uber Eats driver. They picked up my order, then proceeded to book it to the nearest hospital, then booked it to some apartments that were out of the way of both the hospital and my home. Hope they and theirs are okay.
Self harm mention, only not really
Jesus fuck, my parents asked Siri to find “As Time Goes By”, the British TV series from decades ago, and it offered to send emergency services for them. Is this a new key word for suicidal ideation?
Whee, more fuel for the fire: It’s a bad idea to leave MFi / Lightning cables plugged into a charger indefinitely. Apparently, the little chip in the interface needs to be power cycled periodically, or else it will just decide to stop charging devices for no good reason. I have had this happen repeatedly in the last few months. You’d think I’d learn and stop leaving my charger cable plugged in all the time? But no.

Anybody else got so much crap crammed in their refrigerator that it takes more than 5 minutes to find anything buried inside, and the door ajar alarm goes off every time?
Ah, I see, that's what dissociation is. Yeah, I find myself dissociating frequently. Could also be that because I have rather severe aphantasia, I also do not imagine visual things to go with the dissociation, and just see what I'm staring at. Do other people actually have fun doing this? Because I just find it to be an awful time sink.
I was also wrong when I said I'm too busy chatting and reading social media to read any more. I must spend way more time lost in thought and staring into space, than I do actually ranting on social media. There is probably a place in the Dune universe for people with no useful skills who just space out with overwhelming thoughts all the time, and have infinite problems with expressing any of the ideas they dream up, right?
Hmm. Hot take: There was nothing worth salvaging from Cohost. Least of all the prevailing attitude that we should be living out the fricking Dune timeline.
Happy New Year, West Coast!
Night-night, fedi
Hmm *sees UK Online Safety Act* looks like the correct solution is for most of the internet to just blackhole the UK and stop doing business there. ezpz with a Cloudflare geoblock
Parents semi-rant, Bigot Bucket mentioned
My mom gave a check to the Bigot Bucket because they were “really good to her” in San Francisco in the 1960s, and she swears they were being nice to gay people she knew back then. They rewarded her by sending her an envelope and a form to request info about a “Capital Gains Bypass Trust” that the “average” family can tax dodge their $2MM into. God I wish we had $2MM. On that same note I still can’t convince my dad that Joanne Rowling is an Awful Person. Or that trans people using bathrooms being a problem is in the imaginations of assholes. He seems to be coming down from it slowly, though, except I can’t seem to stop him from reading “news” sites when he’s not playing Solitaire. At least he isn’t spending all day on Facebook any more.
Like, does anybody out there know who will do at-home pickup of toxic waste and/or dead batteries, including UPS lead acid cells? Asking because I don’t want to have to explain to an Uber driver that I’m transporting such things as that in their car. And I’m the impossible American who doesn’t drive.
