It’s the eternal pointless chase for a meaning that was never there and never will.

So… Life.

Jokes on you, my knife cost me $40 in steel, wood, brass, and sanding belts because I make my OWN knives for my cooking.

You know, I think I might just have two hobbies and one saved me money on the other…

In my experience most adults can boil pasta.

… And boil it… And boil it… And DEAR GOD TAKE IT OFF THE STOVE AND DRAIN IT BEFORE IT BECOMES MUSH!

“throwing together a quick meal” should have it’s own word.

“cooking” to me implies you’re working on something worth the time it takes, something you want to put effort into.

But when I just got home, nothing is easy to make and I have to throw something quick together, it doesn’t feel like really cooking to me. Like im half assing it, it should have a half-assed name.

The difference between “cooking” and “hobby cooking” :

It kind of reads like the thought process of someone who just woke up, too.

This implies it’s falling on its own.

There should be a mass of red hats trying to push it over.

I’ve seen this picture several times this week, but until this specific one pointed it out, I hadn’t even noticed “for”

They don’t fuck around with aviation investigations.

Whoever did it better leave absolutely no evidence and melt the gun before the alphabet squad comes pounding the door in.

That or it’s just a lone wolf good ol boy who deeply regrets his medication made him do that, and his pain and suffering from guilt is punishment enough.

Sweet!

I’ve never been able to get into them, but I’m definitely buying this as a gift for someone.

Damn, I already bought it!

… 13 years ago…

But I can use this when gifting to people, right? There’s a couple people I want to send these as a gift to get them to play it.

If not well then I guess I can’t be super passive aggressive in telling them to play it because they don’t have an excuse anymore and actually have to use words…

Shhhhhhhhh.

She and Molly are just visiting Bajor. Nothing to worry about.

“So wait, I’m confused… Who are the good guys in this universe?”

“That’s the neat part! There are none!”

You should come down to transporter room 3, the pattern buffer has something you’d find interesting…

I felt something die inside me when I realized “display settings” was going way too far into technical territory for most people.

All I was trying to do is tell someone why their screen shuts off “so quickly” after two minutes.

I had to send them step by step pictures with big red circles.

And this was someone I had thought to be intelligent enough to figure something out, and tech-minded enough to know what I was talking about. Turns out they just like buying whatever fancy new gadgets they see in commercials.

For an extra $1,000 I’ll make you one that goes to 12

If it weren’t so sad, it would be almost funny.

So many people are waking up to the fact that… Most people are functionally illiterate children with no understanding of the world they live in.

The easiest way I have to explain it:

You use your phone every day. You know how to use it, menus in and out, all the different programs and their uses. But if I were to pop open the cover and take one single piece out, you would never know, and you would never be able to use it again. Without someone else, you have absolutely no clue how to go about fixing it. You can push it’s buttons all day, but when it comes down to how it functions at the basic levels, you are clueless.

So am I, by the way. I don’t have any reason to know how to build or program a phone. Or computer. I can push their buttons all day though! Even hidden buttons. But if everyone else on the planet disappeared tonight, I would effectively be living in the 1500s, as that’s about where my technical understanding of things ends. (scavenging for replacement electronics notwithstanding, once something electronic breaks, it’s gone since I can’t exactly run a semiconductor factory by myself, or the mines to get the materials)

My point is, most people only know how to “push the buttons” of the world. They have very surface-level understandingsof it. But when it comes down to it, they don’t understand how the internals actually function.

Sorry if this rambled a bit, I hit the bowl as soon as I got home from work.

Why bother putting any sort of polish on it?

CHILD SEX SLAVES

I’ve just been calling it twitter

I’ll never deadname a person, but I’ll deadname the shit out of a bigoted transphobic crybaby billionaire’s shitty website.

I would be going to prison or dead shortly after discovering that cops killed my dogs.

I care more about my dogs than I do about the vast majority of humans. And I care about humans way more than cops.
