I go back and forth. I like getting cozy and warm, but when it’s cold my skin feels uncomfortable, like it’s crawling or shrinking on me, like I put it on wrong. And my hands feel gross and cold and I rue having to touch myself with them in the bathroom.
But when I get warm enough it’s nice.
I’ve read 500 page novels that have touched me less than these 5 paragraphs.
Thank you for sharing this story.
So anyway, I love those dark maples with the leaves that are so blue they’re almost black in certain light. I call them goth maples.
Picture:
… they’re just underpaid and under a lot of pressure from management to try multiple times and in some cases they even get written up for not doing it because it’s deemed part of their job. They hate it just as much as you.
I’ve worked retail and call centre jobs and I can assure you this is many people (at least those who are not too exhausted to care). These workers are constantly pressured to enshitify their service at the expense of theirs and the customer’s experience.
I haven’t worked a counter in over a decade, so can only imagine it’s got worse.
This is sadly very common where I’m from, except you don’t even get a discount from it. I’ve taken to just politely declining, since I’m sure the person working the cash is probably pressured to get people to give their personal info.
“And can get your email?”
“No thank you”
“I need your email for the receipt”
“I appreciate it but no thank you”
It’s a slight non sequitur while still being polite. Saying “no thank you” when someone is pressuring you works well in many situations.
Bandcamp follows and whatever is playing on CBC music.
I’m curious why not? Other than cash it’s all I use
It’s also about knowing that it’s so exclusive that regular people can’t experience it. Take away the pricetag and it’s isn’t nearly so appealing.
Veblen product, innit
My work here is don’t!!
Really well don’t mockup. Top satire
What’s more perfect than the perfect balance of exercise and recovery.
But I get the urge to workout like a fool. I would go running every day if I could get away with it.
You’ve got a real way with words. I really like number 3.
So what do you do for fun if not internet or gaming?? Read books? Lol (jk I like books, but they’re a more subtle fun)
I’ll be the judge of that. What are your data points?
5x is a lot!! Don’t hurt yourself
And don’t worry about the spare tire, just take care of yourself, my folk. I’m sure you’re doing great
Nice. I’m into it (and not just because it’s on my home instance lol). This is one of the few things I miss from mainstream social media.
Whoa now save some for the rest of us
Beats selling spaghetti code, which is what I do.
My favourite is when you have a friend, or known reviewer, going on about how something sucks, and you realise that it sounds right up your alley.
I specifically rented The One, because of Roger Ebert’s 1 and 1/2 star review in the newspaper, trashing Jet Li’s The One (just to totally date myself).
Just finishing up Episode 4 of the Quake remaster on nightmare difficulty. Episodes 1-3 were challenging, but my god these exploding bouncy ball “spawns” in E4 are such rage fuel.
Only 3 more levels then I move on to the expansions. First time playing those, so looking forward to it!
Or after the “but” and before the “and”
