To be honest, I’m surprised they still did after 2016.

To be fair, that is exactly what I do some days after work because this shit is needlessly exhausting. I think I need like a year of sickly Victorian style bedrest because I have been so burned out for so long that I don’t really have much of a sense of self at this point.

You know, the fucked up thing about it all is I was always told that the kind of delayed gratification that came from major accomplishments like a college degree, a steady career, a comfortable savings account, would all outweigh the fleeting pleasure of parties and stupid little trinkets and other such fun. I wish I had taken so much more time for myself because I burned out so hard achieving some of these things and failing to achieve others that I struggle deeply to imagine a future with me in it.

I hope whatever youth is left in the world spends their time having fun. I hope their lives are worth living now, and that mine will be someday too.

Ketamine/Stimulant abuse. Elmo’s probably not doing so hot since he’s realized coups are actual work and not just shitposting thirty tweets and hour.

I’d like to point out that “do what you can” doesn’t even necessarily mean trying to prevent or impede climate change directly. It can also mean building community and providing comfort and protection from the worst effects of climate change to the people you care about.

God if someone could get in and wipe out student loans, I would be so happy.

People could avoid paying $70 for bad games by not preordering. Like seriously, it takes maybe two hours after release for the criticism to start pouring in.

I mean, the major issue there is “toilet equipped with an automatic cleaning and recovery module.” That is gonna be a huge expenditure for even one toilet in-home, and you’re not always at home when nature calls.

I think it’d be more feasible for the health tracking device to embed itself in your stomach or intestines somewhere so that it just doesn’t pass through, notwithstanding all the sanitation issues that arise from trying to implant something internally where all your food/waste passes through.

I’m 32 years old and at about a 5 on the Norwood scale and I started taking minoxidil and finasteride, and reaching out to Planned Parenthood to talk about getting on E, all because I saw pictures of people who were older and balder than me when they started transitioning and they’re beautiful.

There is still time.

Jesus fuck the mold. There’s so much in there, that slumlord might start trying to charge it rent.

He’s gonna fucking croak this term, why are they trying to make a dead guy president forever?

Yeah, I remember in 2016 when the Hillary campaign’s response to “Make America Great Again” was “America is Already Great” and man did that go over like a lead balloon. Democrats fucking love to pretend everything is okay.

Yeah no shit not everyone’s onboard. How the fuck does this help anyone except the apple C-suites?

Like, okay - I don’t think anyone’s saying returning the cart to the corral automatically makes you a good person, it’s just a green flag, right? Are you willing to do something that has no reward for compliance and no punishment for abandonment, simply because it’s the thing you’re expected to do in order to keep a system functioning?

If someone doesn’t return the cart regularly, it seems more likely that they’re inconsiderate. If they do, it seems more likely that they’re decent. But it’s one thing out of many that just happens to be publicly visible, so it becomes sort of a benchmark.

Rule r-r-r-r-

ALABASTER JONES REAL?!?!

Man, there are a lot of articles this week that feel like they should be next to an onion symbol and they aren’t. Getting real fuckin’ tired of this shit.

Yeah, I’ve been at some real low points and the fear of being charged several grand for a mandatory grippy sock vacation has kept me from reaching out for help or even talking about it.

Every time I see a headline like this I pray to God there’s an onion somewhere around it.

For anyone wondering how to do this - on the first setup screen asking you to pick a language after you turn the laptop on, hit Shift + F10, which will bring up the console. Click on it and type:

oobe/bypassnro

This will restart the computer, and setup will appear unchanged. When you get to the step asking you to connect to a network, select “I don’t have Internet.” This will prompt the creation of a local account. Enjoy your Microsoft account free computer!

If you’ve already connected to the Internet but haven’t created the account, open the console and type:

ipconfig /release

Which will force the computer to disconnect from the internet. From there you can use the oobe command from before to reset and set up without a Microsoft account.
