This is peak laziness, but I installed a tablet mount on my bed’s headboard so when I lay down I can just have the deck screen in front of my face. I use an 8bitdo controller so I don’t have to hold my hands in the air.

I was originally going to get one of those gaming glasses that are advertised for the deck, but this accomplishes the same goal of comfortably gaming while laying down.

This was very informative, thanks for taking the time to write it.

Folks can feel as miserable as they want, but at work it’s a bare minimum expectation to pretend to be polite. Hell I was homeless when I made minimum wage but you can bet I still put on a big smile and was polite to every single customer who walked in the door because the alternative was being fired. It’s really not a difficult concept.

I was homeless in Phoenix in 2008 and it was beyond brutal. The heat was so intense that the soles of my shoes partially melted one day. I used to break into apartment complex pools just to cool down. And then monsoon season is a whole other beast.

I can only speculate, but maybe because TikTok and other social media algorithms were one of the main ways that the election was influenced by bad actors.

I’m quite sure they were referring to the many people who sat out the election due to concerns over genocide, which - fun fact - we’re getting anyway, but now with bonus fascism.

I agree with this. And also, if the highest range is your goal, you’ll want a directional (not omni-directional) antenna. Even a cantenna might be good for your use case.

I support this. My 20 lb dog has been attacked multiple times by off-leash dogs, and luckily I’ve been able to step in and fight them off without much injury beyond a broken wrist, but I’m terrified of the day that I don’t succeed. We need more accountability for idiots who think “my dog needs to run so I’m just going to let him off leash in a public park!” instead of taking them to the dog park which exists for that purpose.

Also, cats belong inside unless they’re working (barn cats etc.).

Elfen Lied

Is this why customer service has gone downhill so dramatically? Never a smile or thank you anymore. Everyone is just miserable and rude.

When I worked for $5.15/hr in 2008 it was expected to be courteous and polite with customers or you’d be fired. I remember my manager at my first job specifically laying into me for not smiling enough. It was the most basic requirement of the job.

And people say that it’s because wages suck nowadays, but that $5.15 from 2008 is now worth around $8 and yet fast food pays $15/hr starting around me. So kids nowadays make twice as much as I did and can’t be assed to give a single fuck. I just don’t get it.

Take a long walk, preferably in nature. Depression can’t survive for 12,000 steps.

Yesterday I was in the car with my boyfriend and he told me about some skit show where a character says “Do it lady!” and we laughed and said the phrase about 5 times. When I got home I opened YouTube and the first recommendation was that skit. I’ve never watched the skit before and it’s not something I typically watch. Creeped me out.

I haven’t had any issues with the infotainment system in my Ioniq 5. I turn the car on, it boots straight into Android Auto, turns on my music automatically, and displays my GPS. What more do you need?

Excuse me, just one question: What the fuck?

This made me ugly cry. I never get the opportunity to talk about my dad or my sister - they just never come up in conversations. Sometimes when I have a major life event like a big promotion or buying a new house I immediately want to call my dad and tell him but I can’t.

Golden Boy if you’re open to something oldschool. Good feels show following a hardworking guy trying to make something of his life.

Today I asked ChatGPT for a gift idea for my friend who lost his leg to diabetes. It recommended a pair of slippers.

I wouldn’t trust it for anything beyond creative writing.

I ran a Valheim server on my Pi and AFAIK players also need to have the mods installed for them to work properly

Hell yeah dude gg
