I recently got a photo printer and the experience is surprisingly similar

Try being permanently exhausted. Ever since I had mono and COVID in 2020 I basically fall asleep the moment I touch my bed. But unfortunately I also need that nap almost every day.

Yeah yeah I will. Right after another video

In some jobs you can. I switched to working 36 hours which effectively traded money for time and energy. The moment that money bar fills up with sufficient buffer again I’ll probably switch to 32. It mainly provides time though, not energy. But it’s better than nothing

Maybe we should nuke the rest if the world too

Damn, maybe AI can replace me after all

So I never really though about this before this post, but the Dutch name is actually really fucking weird. They’re called “pissebedden” here, which is a combination of “pissen” (to pee) and “bedden” (beds). I read that apparently there was a superstition that they would help against bed wetting of you put them in your bed before sleep. I guess that’d help because it’d be hard to sleep with those buggers crawling around in your bed. What’s also weird is that the name isn’t literally “bed wetters” because then the words should be reversed like “bedpissers” or something. So it’s more like “pissybeds” in English.

Idk what tf they were smoking tbh, but it’s the normal word for them and is even used on Wikipedia. Li they’re talking about the zoetwaterpissebedden (fresh water pissybed) as if this is a reasonable scientific name.

Yeah exactly. I’ve been on the receiving end on of (male) bullying quite a bit and also haven’t always been nice to others myself in order to try and fit in. I can only remember one physical incident in all those years. That guy was the classic “movie” bully, just an asshole terrorizing everyone around him, so naturally I decided that something had to be done (it did not go well). Other than that it was all psychological. “Friends” that started saying mean things the moment they were around people they looked up to.

Something that makes it a bit more difficult is also that bullying in these cases was often not black and white. The line between friendly teasing and psychological bullying was often quite thin. In hindsight I interpreted a lot of teasing jokes as bullying because I took everything literally and was very protective of my stuff. That doesn’t excuse them because it was very clear that it hurt me, but it’s interesting that some of those interactions now have become regular interactions between me and my friends that both sides clearly enjoy.

I thought the same, so I bought some Blu-rays and DVDs. DVDs are fine as long as you’re okay with the quality. Blu-rays have DRM though, which in Linux feels like you’re pirating even when playing legit content

The “anti-woke” men at my office once crowned me the “woke police” because I commented on one of their sexist/racist/homophobic/ whatever “jokes”. It’s my badge of honour. The weird part is that we kinda entered into some sort of cold war. I could comment on their “jokes”, pretending it was in jest as part of my job as “woke police”, while still getting the message across. I guess it kinda kept some semblance of friendliness and ability to cooperate while we still got our opinions out.

Damn, the meme made me happy but then I read your title. Hopefully you’ll one day become a nice person. I know you can do it!

Yeah that definitely has an influence as well. If I tilt my screen I can make it more blue and black, but straight on it’s white and gold.

I’ve been in 5 for a while, but last week I made the 5 -> 2 -> 1 -> 3 -> 7 journey. My body and brain are playing this funny game where they’re like “I’m too tired for that, let’s not do it” and 50% of the time they’re wrong and I’m feeling happy and the other 50% they were right and I crash out and suffer for the rest of the day.

I’ll only buy something perishable when I need it. I tend to cook for 3-4 days in one go in order to make cooking for only myself somewhat economical. I tend to visit the supermarket every other day so I don’t really have to plan too much.

After mono and COVID I kinda feel like my body just got stuck in the “everyone goes” stage tbh. Either that or it decided that this shit was above its pay grade and it is just doing the least amount of effort possible

This explains why most pillows are way too flat for me. Relatively broad shoulders and a firm bed. I have a pile of pillows that are just too low/flat.

True. My microwave drifts quite excessively. However it can give a reliable time together with the oven. The oven was designed by some crazy ppl and thus it’s almost impossible to change the time. It’s usually correct with the minutes and doesn’t seem to drift, but for half of the year it’s wrong because of daylight saving. Combined with the microwave that is probably like 5-20 minutes ahead but at least close tot he right hour you can get a good sense of the actual time.

Yeah as long as they stay outside of the restricted areas (near bed or chairs) they get to stay. There’s a spider in my bedroom that’s been there for months in the same spot. Right next to the balcony door.

My logical brain vs the part of the brain that’s actually in charge. I wish the logical part of the brain won more often

Pls don’t attack me like this :3
