Agreed, it’s pretty great. And while the computer sometimes misunderstands what you swipe, it will show you potential alternatives you can tap on. Like in this screenshot:

How many X are in XTX?

My aunt got me a “Helinox sunset chair” recently and I love it. Pricey, wouldn’t have bought it for myself, but it weighs nothing and it’s comfy.

Walk someone else through editing a config file on the command-line over screenshare? Nano. Omg nano is your friend.

The problem with using nano for years is that I now try using nano shortcuts in other programs. Random new windows opening is confusing, until you figure out Ctrl+o isn’t save in that program. Then it’s just annoying because you still have your inappropriate muscle memory.

Both Memphises!

Does that mean illegal immigrants are job creators?

And some of us can’t get back to sleep easily if we turn on the big light at 3 am.

I just picked up some “Top of the Morning” coffee and it’s pricey, but the marketing is very cheerful and it ticks the “ethically sourced” boxes for me, as much as anything I buy online can. Plus, it’s tasty.

Not having to wait 45 business days to get your out-of-network claims reimbursed just for your insurance to tell you they never got the claim and please resubmit. Which I’ve done. At the end of September it will be another 45 business days. This is for a weekly therapy that I expect to be covered 80% because it’s out of network but maybe it isn’t because fuck me and I won’t know until I’ve been going for at least 15 weeks.

Chat, what’s with these two?

Makes sense. I don’t order pork but if something comes with surprise bacon I’ll eat it–the pig is already dead. And I’ll be angry at Applebee’s for adding unlisted bacon to their macaroni and cheese. (Seriously, you have no vegetation options and when I try the “make a meal out of sides” trick you add betrayal bacon? I’m glad millennials are killing Applebee’s.)

All of y’all suckers walking around being “Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble." (Bible, Job 14:1) and I’m like Shakespeare’s MacDuff, circumventing prophecy by being born cesarean and… um… not being full of trouble?

And my brother was adopted, so he was dropped off on our doorstep and we fostered him for a few years prior to adoption. So, extrapolating from my rigorous sample size of 2, no one was vaginally birthed by their mother.

My health insurance gives me a discount if I perform a set of preventative-maintenance tasks. They want me to get a pap smear every 3 years, so I guess that’s the standard “how often to see a gyno if you have no health concerns regarding gyno issues” schedule.

Edit: I also have a regular doctor I’m meant to see every year.

Some people are just super sheltered and it’s ok to be part of the lucky ten thousand.

The first time my brother encountered a black person IRL he asked my mother “what’s wrong with his skin?” She didn’t yell at him for his ignorance. She apologized to the man in front of them in line at the grocery store, then explained that skin comes in more colors than “white”. Now, he was like 6 at the time. But still. He was part of the lucky ten thousand that day.

I’d also want to see if the adopter has a history of not staying out of jail for more than 6 months at a time. For example: my brother has been arrested at least 21 times over the last 15 years. I don’t think his home-life is stable enough to support a pet.

Now, if, say, his roommate wanted a dog, my brother’s bullshit shouldn’t keep the roommate from getting a pup.

… then going to gym class and having the PE teacher mock you for not doing laps fast enough while you’re worrying about your “pad” either chafing or going on walkabout…

My classmates just used unholy amounts of toilet paper, like the almighty intended.

What’s up, chicken butt?
