I haven’t logged into Facebook in over a decade, can’t even remember the login email. Can’t be arsed to jump through hoops to ask for it to be deleted.

Can’t imagine why anyone would willingly make a fb page today.

"They came first for the distros. But I didn’t speak up, because it was only Facebook and only Linux. "

Circadian? Is that like a clown circus act?

My wife works nights and is mostly alone all night, so I try to stay up late so she has someone to talk to. Unfortunately I also have a shifting schedule that changes every week, so I can’t ever get into a sleeping pattern.

Without fail and regardless of what time I went to sleep, every day between 630-7am I wake up. And if I’ve had more than 4 hours of total sleep, there’s 0 chance of me going back to sleep no matter how tired I feel.

My body is a MACHINE. It’s BREAKING DOWN and things FALL OUT of it sometimes.

In one work report, I recorded the date as “1/13/25”, “13/1/25” and “13JAN2025”

I have my preference, but please for the love of all that is fluffy in the universe, just stick to one format…

Every single part of this comment just screams “It just wouldn’t be proper!”

And I’m sorry, but I can’t seem to care about what’s “proper” when half my friends now have reasonable fear for their lives, not just “comfort of living” just because they are lgbtq+ living in deep red country.

My family usually get an “okay I’m gonna go now. I’ll see you later” and that’s about it.

But by then they can tell I’ve had enough of people today and want to leave so they’re never surprised.

And if anyone wants to think I left because they arrived, so be it. I am not the shepherd of my family’s emotions.

I can’t just leave without saying anything though. Not unless they pissed me off.

I’ve got a pretty nice system.

1: PANIC

B- Go

You may notice there’s no conversation before the final step. This is because my anxiety doesn’t allow me much talking until I can decompress.

It’s worked so far.

“It was great seeing you again”

“but… You just got here five minutes ago”

“SO great…”

The only celebrating I do is eating slightly more unhealthy, take the day off work unless it’s going to be a short day, and maybe look to see if any games in my “maybe if it’s on steep sale” list are on sale.

That’s it.

I don’t remind people, I dont expect anyone to remember, but it’s nice when they do.

My excuse for missing people’s birthdays is I DO know the date… I just don’t know what the date today is. Sure I know my sister was born on the 12th, but that doesn’t matter if I think today is the 10th and it’s actually the 15th…

So if I have that much problem, it wouldn’t be very chill to be upset with others for missing mine.

Indeed.

There’s also one where the child is intersex and collapses during their basketball game.

Which is insane, how do you pillage most of the planet looking for spices to sell people and then have the blandest food in the world…

I follow the proud American tradition my grandfather had of fighting fascism.

If the government of the states decides to be fascist, well…

But stabbing your neighbor isn’t exactly something most people are willing to do.

And any sort of attempt at organization leads to Alphabet Squad raids and whatever bullshit charges they feel like throwing at you after deciding you’re guilty of being a dirty commie/socialist/librul/not them.

An important feature that shouldn’t be overlooked.

YOU’RE STEALING OUR TRASH! REEEEEEEEE!

If you clip a healthy plant without asking the owner first, you’re a dick. But if I see you do it at a store, no I didn’t. Cause the store made $2,550,000 while I was typing this.

You have two hands, you can fire twice.

Assuming you practice how to reload one-armed…

Any time my father brings up stuff like this, I remind him that he and his brothers drove their car onto a frozen lake and almost broke through the ice, and more than once they bought tennis balls, soaked them in gasoline, and threw them at each other with welding gloves.

I know for a fact that he and his brothers did tons of dumb shit, and I won’t let him forget it even if he finds it convenient when comparing generations.

5 is alive.

NO DISASSEMBLE!

Every single company pouring money into the incinerator is positive they’ll be the one to crack actually useful AI or even actual GAI.
