  • Coffee has always made me shit from the time I started drinking it regularly when I was 21.

    But now, a cup of water in the morning will trigger it. Like my body says, “MOISTURE?? I guess we don’t need this anymore!!”

    I’ve stopped drinking coffee since getting on Adderall. Which is a shame. I was getting into some good stuff. But I’ve got a history of heart trouble in my family so coffee has been replaced by herbal tea. Gotta have a hot drink to truly wake up.






  • My father in law (age 78) just got a new phone. His last phone cost $100 new, was only a year old, and took actual seconds to respond to most things. It finally got stuck boot looping to recovery mode so I lent him my old OnePlus 7T to use because we were gonna get him a new one for his birthday, but he just went ahead and bought a new (used) Samsung for $200.

    The Samsung is actually a pretty decent phone, but he refuses to learn how to use it. He badly wanted to use his old phone, but it won’t work anymore. He made me put the SIM card in his old phone. I told him he’s free to use that old thing, but I won’t be helping him with it anymore.

    He is finally learning how to use his new phone a month after getting it. The man refuses to shell out for a half decent phone, despite having the money to. He’d rather spend $150 every 18 months buying a new crap phone than spend $400 on one that could easily last 5 years.

    He doesn’t even need a smart phone. He doesn’t understand what a launcher is. So he downloads whatever crapware is advertised to him, then gets really confused why his home screen is all fucky. I’ve told him he should really consider getting a flip phone and using a laptop for anything else. He doesn’t want to. He wants a smart phone.

    I can’t save this man. My parents are in their mid 50s and have finally caught up. 20 years ago, I was telling them they do not need the crapware DVD that came with the digital camera to import their pictures. All you need to do is put the SD card in the computer and copy the DCIM folder to the Pictures folder on the computer, then delete everything in the SD card’s DCIM folder to free up space.

    Since I don’t use Windows anymore, I don’t answer Windows questions anymore lol If anyone calls with a Windows question these days, I just nope outta that.







  • He’s wonderful. He was my wife’s cat before we met, but he adopted me on Day 1.

    The special feeling wore off pretty fast, though. The bar for becoming his friend is so low. He immediately accepts anyone, regardless of what they offer. He’s become friends with every plumber, electrician, handyman, HVAC tech, campaign door knocker, traveling salesperson, family member, my mom (who doesn’t like cats)…you name it, he’ll be their friend lol



  • Look, I get the hate because this looks appalling, but I’m thinking of the way these things might taste together, and, I mean, I wouldn’t say no. The sweet-savory combination would be a good contrast that lends some complexity. And the creaminess of the soup seems like it’d be a good fit for the flakiness of tuna and bready texture of the waffle.

    Only thing I’m passing on is the olives. No thanks, bud.

    At least, I’m not counting this out before I try it.

    As for my wife…

    I don’t think she’s a fan lmao





  • In all seriousness, periods of marked deflation are generally not economically prosperous times. The economy deflated more than 20% between 1929 and 1936. But we don’t call that period in time “The Really Cool American Price Drop.” It goes by another name I can’t think of right now, and it’s making me feel greatly depressed.

    We shouldn’t be fighting for lower prices. We should be fighting for better wages that track with prices over time.
