At some point years ago, I moved off Chrome and switched to Edge. I don’t remember why. I think it was because ublock would no longer work with Chrome. Or maybe it was Firefox I was on, and Chrome was throttling Youtube when accessed through Firefox, so I started using Edge and just swapped. Or maybe both. I don’t really recall. But Edge works perfectly fine for what I need it to do. With how heavy Google has tilted into advertising, data tracking, and enshitifying themselves, I low-key resent them and just won’t use Chrome unless I have to. Firefox with ublock for phone, Edge with ublock for PC.

Prequel even harder and pry the Silmarillion rights from the cold, dead bodies of the Tolkien Estate, then run it into the ground with new films, or worse, a TV show.

IANAL but somehow I get the feeling that entering those industries as a new guy would be a real pain in the ass at the patent office.

Nobody is flexing anything with a common fast-food brand hot sauce.

Being an astronaut was defo something I idolized as being a kid. Then I got older and realized what it’d take to actually live that life, and the risks involved in rocket travel, and things like muscle dystrophy from being in zero G too long. Not to mention all the schooling and training needed. And it’s all for… not much, really. Like, at the end of the day, space travel does not actually help humanity that much. Now, satellites have certainly changed things a shit ton, but like, we’re not going to other planets anytime soon. We’re not gathering resources from other planets. We’re not terraforming. Our “going to outer space” is parking your ass in a station in orbit and living with reduced QoL while you run experiments in zero-G. Just like, nah, fuck all that noise.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner. I’m aware supper exists but never use it myself. Do hear it, though.

I lost my internet for a couple of months a while back. That sucked. Since then I will track down stuff I like and save it if I can. I live alone, so not like anyone else is going to use my PC.

I hate that this is true. At this point it’s so ingrained in me that one leads to the other, that just smelling coffee will make me have to go. It’s a godamn Pavlov’s Coffee. I just want to drink my caffeine in peace, damn it.

In the words of 4chan “fake and gay”

For about 10 years there I never even had two days off in a row. Granted, an upshot to that was at least one day was usually a weekday, so places were actually open and you could get apointments made and stuff done and all that. But then that, too, becomes its own work day.

“I’m free! I’m freeeee!” Cries the bottomost crab, high on a dab.

Introduce that toaster to this toaster.

I would absolutely love to roll a character based around sonic/thunder damage. In concept, the idea of thunderous smite is wonderful. But the reality of not being able to stealth is just harsh.

With a mighty crack of thunder you slam your warhammer into your foes chest, crushing their armor and their eardrums as you send them flying back. When they hit the ground, they uncontrollably tumble and roll before grinding to a halt, knocked prone on the floor about ten feet away.

But then everyone within 300 feet hears the violent rumble of your hammer and rushes to investigate the sound. Suddenly, the whole dungeon is on your ass.

Or Thunderclap! Surrounded by a pack of kobolds, the devious blighters work together to enclose and ambush you with their deadly pack tactics! In response, you slam your hands together, magically enhancing your clap with a thunderous roar that rips through the small band of lizards on every side of you. Two of the three scream as the sound pierces their ear drums, but one is cut short as his skull simply can’t handle the force. His eardrums explode, and he crumples to the ground, blood draining out of his ears, dead. The other screamer recovers, wounded, blood draining from his right ear but still standing. The third remains resilient, obviously disturbed by the aural impact but otherwise unharmed.

The sound travels 100 feet through the kobold den. While you can’t see them, you know you’ve just rang the alarm for the enemy within their own den, and they will be coming, in numbers.

While trying to sleep. And it often ruins my sleep. And I fucking hate it. Has already happened tonight, in fact, regoing over shit from the day that sucked.

We/they are. So maybe we don’t pay then. I’ve never asked. We just have the premium package, so I assumed we paid.

I use this at a center I volunteer at that works with the mentally disabled. Unsurprisingly, a lot of those people are old. Surprisingly, Canva is simple enough that I’ve been able to train the elderly, of all people, to use the program to make fliers or three-fold pamphlets for themselves. It’s a good program for what it does, and the center pays for a premium subscription, so it’s not something I personally need to worry much about.

Honestly, I’m fine with this in terms of the program’s functionality, as long as Canva does’t fuck with its user interface. It is pretty simple and intuitive, and I’d argue that the UI is quite possibly one of its strongest assets, seconded only by the massive amount of options/elements you can add to your project. And it’s already apparent what AI is mostly used for within the program: making more graphic elements to slap onto your page, and more ready-made templates you can still go in and alter everything in at-will. And honestly, I’m fine with that.

This has got to be South Korea trolling the US populace.

Hard 6. That flat and unamused anger speaks to me.
