Oh honey, the last name isn’t the (main) problem…

Well this hits home.

A week or two ago, i had what i call my “weepy waves”. I get a sudden, intense desire to burst into tears for about a minute. Then I’m fine for about 15, then more tears, then calm, repeat

Fortunately, it was the last hour of my shift, so the security cameras only caught four of em, but when i was leaving, i burst into tears in the middle of the parking lot.

Got about $15 for my troubles…

I took care of one of my mother’s dogs, an overeater bordering on obese (the dog, my mother weighs 120 freedom units).

I went through about four different dog food brands before settling on RRs, apparently it’s good enough to eat when hungry, but not good enough to gorge.

So in short, I like her dog food because it’s adequate.

Short answer: I bite back now.

Long answer: My parents are hard-R Republicans. Every time they start getting all “demoncrats r bad” i just ask them, “Why do you want me dead so fucking bad? I know from being raised by you that you fucking hated me growing up, but to vote for “gays should be executed”? This is exactly why you didn’t have grandkids, the thought of putting more of your hate in the world is abhorrent to me…”

I’ve only had to pull that one out twice, so far, but it hits them hard when they still (I’m a few months away from 40) insist I “give them grandkids”.

It’s like throwing a live microphone in front of the speaker it’s attached to, self sustaining cycle…

I grew up in stress, so when I’m not stressed, it means I’ve forgotten something…

No, they bought the lies the tech bros can afford to spew, so they are voting for this garbage…

Helmets off gas from the foam and it loses its ability to absorb impacts.

Also, if you are ever in an accident where your helmet takes a hit, get a new one. They are more like airbags than people realize, once it absorbed an impact, it’s done.

I just want her to go full The Doctor on him:

“Don’t you think he looks tired?”

The ones I’m thinking of are usually live action dubs of non-English shows. It’s like the subtitles are a faithful translation of the source, where as the dialog seems more localized to better for how English speakers speak. Nothing wrong with changing the dialog to have it for better for other languages, but at least use that localized version of the script for your subtitles.

Some of the less mainstream anime does this too, but I’m not a big anime fan, so most of what I consume is the big stuff, Attack on Titan, Ghost in the Shell, Fullmetal

I do wish they would hire a human to give everything, at least, a quick once over. When the words don’t match the subs, it throws me off a bit…

Don’t you think he looks tired?

If they don’t name it “Ready or Not: Here I come” I’m going to be immensely disappointed and my day will be ruined…

Mazda recently surprised customers by requiring them to sign up for a subscription in order to keep certain services. Now, notable right-to-repair advocate Louis Rossmann is calling out the brand.

Services. Services!? What the actual fuck are you talking about!? Remote start isn’t a fucking service, it’s a feature, that they are trying to control through greed.

Edit: I will give a small concession to the remote remote start, as that does need an OTA service. The service of course shouldn’t be any more complicated than a SMS setup, so $15 per year is the absolute most you’ll be able to get out of me…

2nd edit: And you damn well better include free modem upgrades. None of this $50+ for a fucking map update shit the other companies are pulling. That shit should have been an OTA update, Christ knows the damn thing tries to find an open Wi-Fi…

And then companies will start using AI to generate favorable reviews and content to get the Amazon ai to notice. The Internet really doesn’t need us anymore does it?

What the duck is that title!?

I didn’t get it, until i mumbled it out loud, and now i feel like an idiot for not getting it sooner :/

👍 If i can get someone else in on this, it would make an amusing workplace skit.
