Already my end-of-year savings milestone to be able to buy a house by the end of 2022. West Virginia, here I come.

@scribus I’m gonna say the second one because I’ve said mean things about capitalists on Twitter and so participating in capitalism is liable to get me in a great deal of trouble.

I'm baffled by the number of battery-operated (internal rechargeable via USB or conventionally insertable AA or AAA) lights for bikes that are being sold. There is a thing called dynamo. No hassle recharging, always attached at the bike, reliable. There are hub dynamos that have almost no resistance (only the induced electrical field has some resistance) and are silent. It makes me somewhat annoyed and mad that people buy this crap. Additional lights... fine. But they are mostly advertised as main front and rear lights.

@adiwan I always kind of wanted one on my bike, but I also get ripped off so damn often that I can't bring myself to make a serious investment in it. They stole my seat!! I've had people steal my little speedometer, but not the tire attachment that actually makes it work! I watched a jerk ride off on my bike itself, and was a half-swcond too late in being certain to clothesline them... and my present borderline-cheapo bike is all rusted and sun-damaged.

Just got done driving to Henrico County and during the drive I was trying to come up with a voice for a character. Eventually settled on “Genie from Aladdin but voiced by Dan Castellaneta”, which I realize is basically just a gay, possibly Jewish version of Homer Simpson.

@zeldatra No offense, but I *did* do everything in my limited power to make sure your cartoon had no basis in reality....

@scribus ew, i hate games

I want to see the new Marvel movie Shang Chi but it feels wrong to go to the cinema.

@scribus I liked it a lot! Ryan Reynolds kind of carries the film and I think without him it isn’t nearly as funny though. He like, makes the movie.
-
@zeldatra @scribus The number of cases are rising here as well and I don't want to risk any contact with strangers that's not necessary, especially when sitting in an enclosed room for hours. I'm vaccinated but still. This time I'll probably go to the sea that is called Internet and become a filthy pirate. I already gave more money than necessary for watching Black Widow at home.

all of this moving around between stores finally pays off - I finally have the evidence I need to have a certain customer banned from all of our stores because I personally saw him running the same scam at three separate stores. kinda weird that it took three separate stores though, right?

Great, first time in two years I wake up at 0600 ON PURPOSE (damn jury duty) and I'm shaking and puking and other nastiness....

@scribus Looks like some sort of stage fright or your body is doing you a favor so you can be dismissed from doing jury duty.

Although I have a bike I'm interested in having a second bike more geared towards comfortable rides in the city: a ladies' dutch bicycle. I don't see a reason for having that ball-crushing crossbar between the legs that makes it hard to get into the saddle.

Aww, you're maxed at 3 stamina wheels?
Monday, 23-Aug-21 22:42:26 UTC from web -
I have no way of knowing if the fact that I've done nothing but play BOTW for a week is, like, an ADHD hyperfocus, or Autism obsession, or just the perfectly rational realization that there is nothing of greater value in the society we have built up around ourselves
Monday, 23-Aug-21 18:13:33 UTC from web-
@scribus I had a somewhat similar experience playing BOTW. But to be fair: I had a vacation and could spend all week playing it. I tried to complete as much as it was feasible to get the good ending and solve as many shrines as I could for the much needed health and stamina upgrades.
-
@adiwan And what a terrible choice to have to make early in the game, health or stamina... lol

Just had some keto cinnamon cereal for the first time. It tastes about as joyless as a retirement community.

@scribus I mean last week I managed, using only apt-get upgrade, to uninstall grub from the server, so this is way more "on" than it was
-
@ceruleanspark Oh. Missed that, then.

@ceruleanspark Maybe I should finally look into why my personal dot com is 50x-ing me....

Hi everyone I am back sorry it's been a while. But I am here now. Has anyone seen the new G5 trailer? The new movie looks good so far.

@mariomario4156 I have not seen the trailer, but it sure does feel like the world could use another good dose of Friendship right about lately

thinking about buying the cheapest Mac Mini and using that for animation instead of my current PC. I don't believe it would be better (or worse, for that matter) in terms of performance, because let's be real, you don't need a beefcake to run Flash, but i do think it would help with productivity because I would have to switch to my other computer to run any of my games and so that's one less thing to get distracted by.

@zeldatra I tried dual-booting OSes to solve that problem. Didn't work, lol. Better luck, whatever you end up trying.
-
@scribus thought about doing a dual-boot but they don’t make macOS graphics drivers for my hardware, and Adobe Animate won’t run natively on Linux, so it would be more trouble than it’s worth.

Wow this Shakey's Pizza ad may actually have just used text-to-speech instead of hiring a person to talk for 30 seconds

@scribus the same guy’s been recording our phone messages at the store for years and he does the entire district, and they don’t re-record unless they absolutely have to, so up until the covid pandemic (they had to re-record at that point and a couple of times after as new information came out) one store would have an answer menu with a voice that’s audibly years younger than another.

update: if I don’t have covid, then I have something that sure feels a lot like it, because this sucks major balls.

Just noticed there’s cat food in the department managers’ office and now I’m trying to figure out a) who in the store is feeding cats, and b) what cats are hanging out on the highway far from any of the nearby suburbs

one of the main characters in Swole Foods is a “Californian” (he lived there for six years and has made it his entire identity) but I’ve never lived in California, I only know what I see on the news, so some of these jokes might seem inaccurate to people who actually live there, which I think is pretty fair considering Hollywood directors seem to think Virginia is still a part of the confederacy.
Friday, 06-Aug-21 18:42:02 UTC from web-
@scribus Maybe! Wouldn’t feel right about it until I could pay you tho, so let’s see if I can get this thing picked up or funded first. Flying to Atlanta next year for the first of what is presumably going to be many, many pitches.
-
@zeldatra Good luck on the pitch(es)! As I understand they're super easy, barely an inconvenience. And I appreciate the monetary morals, but if you just need a punchline checked or something then I do the same for my writing group no problemo

i am happy

“Are you free to speak your mind in America?” reads the chyron on a wholly uncensored American cable news network where they criticize America absolutely all the time.

My city is infested with those rentable e-scooters. The scooters aren't the bad thing but their users just chuck them everywhere in everyone's way, like sidewalks. The worst thing I've seen was a scooter in the middle of a bus driveway.
