@gsuberland I’m curious what you’re using that many monitors for. I have three, and quite frequently think it may be too many with the third just serving as a distraction.

It's actually kind of fucked that the concept of self-care is now being sold to us as "you deserve the right to spend money on consumable luxuries like bath bombs" rather than "capitalism is destroying us mind, body, and spirit and will always ravenously devour all time and space we have marked out for the maintenance of our own health and sanity"

AHHHH. Just sent the deposit and final legal fees for purchasing the flat I’ve been renting to my solicitors. I guess I’m committed now.

Ahh yes, that’s why I don’t really watch BBC News.

“Zombie knives, swords, and machetes are a growing problem. Our reporter is at a Border Force centre.” Followed by a report that has nothing to do with immigration or asylum seekers.

I’m tickled every time I go to put BBC News on an iPlayer asks if I want to watch from the start. Yes, please give me the news starting from November 1997, I missed a few episodes the first time round.

@UKFilmNerd @fesshole good news! You can almost always buy service remotes on eBay.

I’ve just been reminded Trustpilot exists, and am once again angry that there’s a widely used company whose entire business model is broadly a protection racket. Companies that pay them can dispute bad reviews, companies that don’t can’t.

@Edent oh no, see you in a couple of months I guess.

@Eetschrijver @fesshole or maybe people tend to pick a different story for how did you meet than “at a threesome” if this is how it happened.

QOTD from a YouTube video my son is watching: “A fully evolved Corbynite will be incredibly annoying to deal with”.

(Don’t @ me, I t’s a Pokemon video.)

@catsalad calling in Call of Duty artillery strikes like a pro.

@Edent of course curl supports it. Is there anything you can’t use curl for?

Hamas pagers

@Tijn @catsalad you can’t pull up a seat on your phone while it calculates payroll for the entire DoD though.

Hacker kitty!

@Thayer that’s the reason I shave my head. The growing bald patch may also be a factor.

Emoji neofox : Hi can I buy a vacuum cleaner ?

Emoji neofox : By the way do you happen to know anyone who can make a megastructure around a star
Dyson : ur not gonna believe this

I’m going to laugh so hard if the thing that persuades CEOs to take climate change seriously is atmospherics levels of CO2 starting to encroach on the levels that impact productivity.

@fesshole goodness yes, it would be awful if she knew you were purposefully losing weight. Much better that she thinks you’re dying instead.

Rent, food.

Where do I report my local postman for cheating at wearing shorts in any weather, he’s got thermal trousers on underneath them.

@pikesley it was lovely seeing everyone, you’re an excellent bunch of people.
