I'm gonna be a home owner soon. Crippling debt yeah!

@scribus About half my income will be just for repaying the debt and the rest is for getting it to a proper shape and comics. I guess I'll starve.
It's not that bad but the next few years will be rough for sure. At least I will be able to sleep and have my peace and quiet.

Anyone else’s spam box full of people claiming to have photos/evidence of you committing terrible acts followed by links to virus downloads and has anybody actually ever fallen for them

Got my tires yesterday and put them on my bike today. As it turns out, and as obvious it is in hindsight, the culprit for the puncture was a tiny rock. A rock as pointy as a needle and as black as the tire. I could only find it by guesstimating the location by the puncture location on the hose and then pushing really hard into the spot on the tire. The rock has dug into the rubber and I couldn't see it on my first inspection.

@scribus In a way I was very lucky that the little piece of Potato Knishes was found in the first place and it didn't got me stranded far away from home. I was lucky that it happened close to home. I have a small set of stairs a few meters in front of my cellar. There I pull my bicycle down so it bounces on the edge of the steps. Just as I opened my cellar door my bike fell on its own (it was on its kickstand) and there I found the flat. Moments before I could cycle and didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, i.e. I had full pressure in the hose (between 4 and 5 bar).

Barely a day has passed and I got a flat on the same tire.

Usually people have heaps of dirty clothes. I have a heap of clean clothes. I finally folded 2 months worth of T-shirts. The funny thing is that I could go on for two more months and I still got folded T-shirts in my clothes cabinet to take out of.

Not sure if I mentioned this here yet but towards the end of last year I made the decision to move to the United Kingdom for a couple of years to be closer to my friends & develop Swole Foods with a team of creatives dotted around England, Northern Ireland, and the Netherlands, so this year I hope to begin the long & soul crushing process of acquiring a visa that’ll allow me to live in places other than on my friend’s couch. I’ve been told the requirements for non-Commonwealth citizens are somehow even stricter than the US’s, so I don’t expect this to be particularly easy or even for it to be finished by year’s end, but I think this’ll be good for me.

@scribus everything depicted on my channel is an allegory for the George W. Bush administration and the war on terror which makes it real. Discord is Saddam Hussein.

Ah... Great... Forgot that the next days the air will smell horrible like farts and eggs and it will be a ordeal to breathe. I can forget to think about airing my apartment. I rather smell my own farts than the horribleness that will come from the outside.

(It was tax-related. If they can’t even cut my taxes what good are Republicans? Because that was the last thing they could have done for me.)

@zeldatra Dude, man, sorry to have to break it to you, but you don't make enough for the Republicans to cut your taxes....

My 15 year old monitor died yesterday. It "displays" something. Backlight works but the fault is somewhere on the mainboard between the actual screen and the end of image processing. The display cannot even show the OSD properly. As it appears it will be covered by black lines and then it turns into a bright pillar from top to bottom (where the text would be). I just won an auction on ebay for a cheap replacement monitor of the same model. Why? It's 16:10 IPS, has tons of inputs, and it was cheap. 45€ with shipping. Also I cannot afford a brand-spanking-new one.

Admittedly I only have east coast prices to compare it to but I’m going to assume cigarette prices on the west coast are more comparable to New York than Virginia or North Carolina

@zeldatra They are brutal enough to make me really happy not to have started a tobacco habit, our "desperate bargain" brands are around $8-10

Why did I think it was a good idea to try explaining magnets to a crackhead customer at work?

@scribus love crackheads, I’m so glad that now that the metro stop in my hometown is open the crackheads who I banned from my old store in DC are coming over to my new store in the suburbs so that I can explain to them all over again that no, you cannot trade a gallon of canola oil for a carton of cigarettes like this is some kind of bartering station in Roman Greece

@scribus it’s not, but it’s probably fairer in the south than it is in California, a pack of Marlboros is still under $10 here (currently $8.32 after tax)

Computer is giving someone at work a hard time. Elderly customer is (good-naturedly) ribbing us, "Haven't you been taking computer classes since Kindergarten?" "Yeah," I say, "But it was on the Apple IIe!"

The dude from Master of Disguise is in my store right now pretending to be an Eastern European gambler who has no idea how to fill out a lottery card and is constantly getting something wrong no matter how many times the instructions are given to him.

I'm doing an anti-"No Shave November". Usually I shave myself every two weeks but this month I try to shave daily or every other day. My verdict so far: Daily shaving is not worth it as my beard grows so fast that I can feel the stubbles after an hour after the shave. Waxing my face is not an option.
Wednesday, 16-Nov-22 08:45:40 UTC from web-
@scribus Yeah. Even with an electric razor it's not very feasible to shave every day because of skin irritation. Honestly I rather prefer not to have a beard at all and would want a permanent hair follicle removal but the risk of scarring my skin on the face is too high.
-
And I tried Nair, only to learn it just breaks hairs off at the surface and thus is just a chemical shave anyway

Was thinking about who I could get to voice Jesus in Swole Foods and realized I don’t have one (1) Jewish friend. These are the drawbacks to not being based in New York or Los Angeles like everyone else in my field.
Wednesday, 16-Nov-22 06:58:13 UTC from web-
@zeldatra Jesus was a roman-era Hebrew, so he's pretty distanced from modern day Jews. He's also only half Hebrew since only his mother's lineage can be traced, so arguably you could cast anyone eurasian for the role and not be too far off mark.
-
@nerthos I’m not genuinely that invested in an accurate casting, I’m voicing a south Asian guy which I obviously am not, I just briefly thought it’d be funny to make my imaginary Jewish friend do it

"Those lazy, lazy leaves"! I was taking the scenic route from shopping through the park and there I slid in a corner and fell. I lost all tyre grip because a brown and slimy moist pile of leaves in the curve acted like it's the best replacement for grease in that moment. Luckily there was not much damage. My pants got dirty, a scratch on my knee, and the side of my pedal was heavily scratched.
