@colinstu@birdbutt.com A solid question, haha. And it’s funny: without the video to add important context clues, it does read really dark. Commercial itself was actually “funny”.

It’s funny that I’d originally seen “Idiocracy” as a dystopian comedy. But honestly that world seems like it might not be so bad, lol.

@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz See also my drawer full of old iPhones, lol.

@stefenauris@furry.engineer Grats!

Man these commercials these days. *Two dads stand outside a nursery: one a new dad, the other on his third kid.* “First one?” “Yeah… you?” “Third.” “Any advice?” “Yeah: get life insurance.” Broh that escalated so goddamn quickly. I realize that’s what the commercial was hocking but criminy.

@zip@furry.engineer Disagree, I think it’s great!

@ziphi@meow.social Orrrrr potentially they reach back and say this is one of the most unique and beautiful designs they’ve ever seen and offer multiple potential ways ahead.

@ziphi@meow.social In your defense, it’s a neat obsession and your concept art for the pen-to-be is beautiful.

@Phangurl@starbase80.wtf Lon Suder was easily one of my favorite characters in Voyager. Doesn’t hurt that I’m also a Brad Dourif fan, lol.

@SmudgeTheInsultCat@mas.to Or Stephen Fry’s cameraman, lol. https://youtu.be/9T1vfsHYiKY?si=WvQsNNKqkAF6R9CR

@Gauss@furry.engineer I was blown away when I discovered it’s not about raw WPM, but crazy shorthand on these strange li’l keyboards.

@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz You’re not dead, so I consider this a win.

@doskel@masto.doskel.net You may not know it, but you also bought some nostalgia with it, lol.

@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz They’re… friction fit?

@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz That just made my backside pucker a bit at the mere thought of it. Hope it works out!

@Craigp@mastodon.social @Wildragon@mastodon.art Back when I was a kid and I first started playing with Linux and heard of GIMP, I thought “lol” at the name. Then as an adult I thought “that’s not very professional”. Then I got a job in a DoD software shop where they make apps called things like “LMAO” and “DP” and “FML”, and realized we’re all just dumb children.

@DoodleDonut@equestria.social Wouldn’t happen to be OXO brand, would it? Absolutely fallen for them in recent years and their stuff has turned out to be hardy as heck.

Reminder for those of you that need it: Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.

@lisasky@mastodon.world Depends largely on the blanket, really. We’ve got a few in the house and some you can feel the wires, some you gotta try to feel them. Blankets are much better with it since they’re on top of you instead of the other way around so your body doesn’t squish into the wires. TIL that Lenovo makes smartphones! Only Android devices I’ve got anymore are Pixel phones since it’s as close to an “OEM” device as you can get. No complaints.

Finished a rewatch of “Silicon Valley”. Hits different in 2026.

@lisasky@mastodon.world Got myself a heated blanket a couple weeks back and it’s pretty solid! Random one from Amazon. What kinda device you got? Gonna guess Android… Maybe back up, try resetting to factory settings, and restore?

@lisasky@mastodon.world Single worst downside right there! If I had a house with vaulted ceilings, I’d be investing in a *lot^ of Snuggies.

@lisasky@mastodon.world Oh god, vaulted ceilings are the absolute worst, I think. Sure, you get more space… BUT AT WHAT COST.

@emdy_pinia@furry.engineer Morning, Mia!

One of the biggest lies ever perpetuated: getting your pet spayed/neutered will not lead to weight gain.

Recently had a random urge to play through the Plague Tale games again. Imagine my extreme joy to find out the third game in the series is coming out at the end of the month.

Dropped beneath 200lbs for the first time in three years. Heck. Yes.

Would love to see the usage of “full stop” increase. …Full stop.

So. We reached waaaaay way back to resurrect the term “CHUD” and repurpose it for our modern world needs. …When the term “chode” is more recent and has a similar sounding dealie doodler. But why though.

New job started effective this past Monday. Really want to get a new notebook. And new fountain pen. But don’t *need* either. Dangit.

Really, really missing the crafting system from EQ2. You could substitute similar reagents for ingredients when you were feelin’ froggy. Memory that stands out for me was using canine saliva in lieu of water. Worked out well since you were also hunting wolves for their pelts. What’s more: you could literally die when using something as innocuous as a sewing loom if you weren’t on top of the counters and such. Meant you couldn’t just be brain dead. But you also felt pride in the work.

I think I’ve gotten burnt out on kombucha. But I’ve also been fermenting long enough that I’ve developed a weird bond with my culture. So… Like… I guess now I’m just gonna keep it alive until the heat death of the universe.

You wear harnesses for sexy time. I wear harnesses so I don’t fall to my death. We are not the same.

Only now does it click with me that having nothing productive to do with free time was putting me into a seriously miserable funk. Super stoked to be useful again.

@soatok@furry.engineer @Chalkllate@yeen.town I continue to pray to any listening deities that the wealthy all board random vessels and just sail away into antiquity.

Fascinating. In the time since I’ve exited military service, they’ve made logging on to resources a good bit more difficult. Military folks use a Common Access Card (CAC) for logon. But now, to get to M365, you don’t use the CAC but a passkey? But in order to get the passkey, you use your CAC to login to a separate virtual terminal? And then you establish a password so that you can set up your passkey. Dafuq.

Captain America has to be one of the most boring superheroes and I’ll die on this hill.

“Dawnwalker” finished copying from the disc just in time for me to run outta energy and want a nap, lol. Goddamn this weak mortal frame.

@byte@awawa.club @Tapewolf@meow.social One of the closest things we got to cryptids and I’m here for it.

Brain chemistry seems to be largely okay today. Gonna give it… a solid 8/10.
