Why I never ever ever mention my Roma ancestry to any European, ever

The ONLY reason I give a shit about July 4th this year is that it’s a long weekend and the last chance we’ll have to spend with family before we move out of state in two weeks.

I’m even glad it’s supposed to rain the entire time, so I won’t even feel pressured to celebrate with fireworks!

I only cared when I was poor and living paycheck to paycheck.

Keep working on it until you can coax her into either stepping inside or into an easily enclosable space, then to vet for a chip scan.

Best case scenario is that she belongs to someone who misses their baby girl.

Second best case is no chip or previous owner super-sucks and therefore - you get a new buddy.

We invited an abandoned gray girl in for wet food one day and she never left. Starting on her first night, she’d wake me up in the wee hours giving me tiny kisses on my eyelids, cheeks, forehead, or tip of my nose. We still have her 12 years later and she is the sweetest cat ever. Don’t fuck with her though - she will cut you 🤣

This seemingly simple thing enrages me on a daily basis.

How difficult can it fucking be to write some damn code to omit “the” from sorting if it is the first word of a title? JFC

If “the” appears first, then “ignore” must surely be a thing, right??

iPhone 15 (the most recent model without AI) is perfectly adequate for most people.

I love her so much 🥰

I used to be a huge Stephen King junkie, read every novel within a few weeks of each release (started young by reading Salem’s Lot way too young). Then he started getting really repetitive in the mid-90s.

So I was reluctant to bother with 11/22/63 but I picked it up because the premise was totally different for King. And I was blown away - I consider it his best, by far.

The most unpleasant thing about that novel was that fixing things made it infinitely worse.

Holy shit, you are right….and I can remember that shift vividly.

I miss this option. I always used to make my software last for years, before opting to upgrade because of some new features.

This is great!

And thank you for the reminder to dig around until I find that obscure forum post that had the wiring diagram and instructions on how to disable Starlink on Subarus.

Infidelity is somewhat common but I would say it’s not “normal” at all to openly discuss and laugh about it at dinner with a bunch of people that you haven’t seen for years.

Seriously- wtf is wrong with these people? That one person sounds especially horrible.

Also - don’t go to any more reunions. I’ve managed to avoid 40 years of that shit and I like to believe that I’m happier for it!

Agreed…Lemmy slightly reminds me of the early days of Internet forums/chatrooms/etc.

Yes, I’m old.

Ok …. Your enthusiasm about the pdf ripping has won me over. I’m trying this shit asap

Oh shit….I need to go get that!

(Speaking of books …. time to go see if that fancy hardback edition of Cibola**Burn is ever going to get released.

edit: it’s not coming out any time soon 😤
