    Been sick yesterday and today and so far this morning, I&amp;#39;ve: - lost the ketchup then finally found it in a lower cabinet where the measuring cup is meant to be - had the kitchen timer seemingly randomly go off, set to 30 minutes Yeah, I probably shouldn&amp;#39;t be trying to do things in this state. Send help. 😢

    Can YouTubers stop literally lying in their video titles already?

    I heard some shit&amp;#39;s going down on Bluesky (go figure) and people there are considering going back to X. People seriously will do anything except the obvious fucking answer, won&amp;#39;t they?

    This flu or whatever it is is absolutely kicking my ass. It&amp;#39;s been a few days and as of when I woke up a few hours ago, I had slept about 19 hours of the previous 24. I feel fucking awful. 😢

    Still sick. We&amp;#39;ve been spending way too much money on ordering out for dinners since I can&amp;#39;t cook right now. ... I really don&amp;#39;t want to ask for money again but fucking hell like ... I&amp;#39;m powerless otherwise. I&amp;#39;m not turning this into a begpost. If someone wants to send me some money to my Ko-fi or something, it&amp;#39;s much appreciated. I&amp;#39;m not going to link it here though or formally ask because I feel like shit doing this all the time. On ano...

    It sure is something how most of my Fedi feed is talking about the compromised certs, but when I try to find a YouTube video talking about it or any remotely &amp;quot;normie&amp;quot; (for lack of a better term) space lol nothing. So like, we&amp;#39;re not going to alert the average person and make sure they updated their browsers?

    ... so now my partner and I are *both* sick. I was starting to recover, but it seems I&amp;#39;m right back in. I don&amp;#39;t know if this is a second respiratory virus or if I&amp;#39;m rebounding on the first. We&amp;#39;re so fucked right now. 😢

    Looking up what to do about MakeMKV breaking recently has convinced me yet again: Linux users are somehow completely fucking ignorant to anything regarding ripping/preserving video or games. Windows users are *way* smarter about this, and it makes no fucking sense.

    McDonald&amp;#39;s flat out *told us* they are a real estate company and not a food company, and absolute tons of us (not me) are still out there buying their ridiculously overpriced, tasteless slop, and even indulging in &amp;quot;crossovers&amp;quot; where they just repackage existing food items with images of people or characters as if that has any value. What reason would someone in their position have for NOT behaving the way they are? It&amp;#39;s just as much the fault of the mindless ma...

    Movie companies: &amp;quot;We&amp;#39;ve gotta get people to stop pirating movies!&amp;quot; Also movie companies: &amp;quot;Rent Spider-Man: Brand New Day for the low low price of $25!&amp;quot; ... yeah, just pirate them. Or do like I do and just not engage with modern cinema.

    In my mind, a portmanteau doesn&amp;#39;t work if the resulting word is only one letter away from either originating words, hence me hating names like &amp;quot;Movember.&amp;quot;

    I hate how my brain will bring up old inside jokes from old jobs out of nowhere like ... ... right now I have &amp;quot;Hey There Delilah&amp;quot; in my head only instead of &amp;quot;Oh, it&amp;#39;s what you do to me,&amp;quot; it&amp;#39;s, &amp;quot;Oh, it&amp;#39;s caca doo-doo pee~.&amp;quot; ... and it KEEPS. LOOPING.

    I want smaller fighting game rosters, zero guest characters, no kernel-level anti-cheat, and no government entities directly profiting off game sales.

    Saying something is “not ready for prime time” really irritates me, especially when talking about open source software. What the fuck is “prime time” and who decides when something is “ready” for it? Isn&amp;#39;t that opinion and a different mark for everyone? To me, when someone says something “isn&amp;#39;t ready for prime time,” what they&amp;#39;re saying is, “It&amp;#39;s not good enough for me, therefore it&amp;#39;s shit and no one should use it.” That&amp;#39;s how I end up parsing i...

    The Yandex datacenter attack highlights one major thing for me: Any site that allows content to be made either without an account or with an account that can be freely made with zero vetting is untrustworthy and should be avoided as much as possible. Reddit. X/Twitter. Bluesky. YouTube. Obviously anything Meta. All of them need to go down. Yes, even YouTube.

    You&#39;re not being helpful if you&#39;re responding to people&#39;s questions with a copy/paste of what an LLM says to their question. If they consent to their question being put into an LLM, they would&#39;ve already done it themselves. Stop.

    It&amp;#39;s always weird to me when I see a Yu-Gi-Oh decklist with a playset of a field spell and zero Terraforming. Wouldn&amp;#39;t running 2 of the field spell and 1 Terraforming be better? Like if you hit the Terraforming, you thin the deck of a copy of the field spell.

    I think my biggest issue with sports is how, in most of them, the rules are enforced by people who can be completely wrong in their calls, whether intentional or not. The idea that I&amp;#39;m supposed to be okay with rules that are in any way open to interpretation and not cut and dry sincerely bothers me. Maybe that&amp;#39;s why at my last job when someone showed me some professional darts, I got into it. It wasn&amp;#39;t constant BS and a possible source of arguments due to differing inte...

    Now that the election autopsy is released, I&amp;#39;m gonna say it: The democratic politicians are dumber than the republican politicians. The republicans managed to put out plans to destroy American democracy, and are doing it. The democrats are literally incapable of learning fucking anything and can&amp;#39;t even begin to analyze their role in an election.

    I know a lot of people around me may not agree with me here in the least, but I really, really don&amp;#39;t like Hasan. He comes across as a major fucking asshole to me every time I see him. I agree with a lot of what he says and think it&amp;#39;s great that a lot of people listen to him and such. I just ... get the feeling he&amp;#39;s kind of a shitty person beyond his commentary, and I can&amp;#39;t shake it. (The Pepe spam in his chats doesn&amp;#39;t help matters.)

    Wait, are there really not inverse half circles in Nerd Fonts? We have an inverse triangle, but my Yazi config is going to have to be entirely overhauled because apparently we don&amp;#39;t have inverse half circles.
