Courtney (she/her/they)

I feel like a hairy ogre right now. And that’s after shaving everything I can.

I’m not going to comment on how I feel about my (lack of) feminine appearance…

head pat

Oh hey, it’s my parents, about literally every topic I wanted to talk about as a kid.

They said with confidence, yet having 0 idea what they’re talking about…

Every time I see a comment like this it’s either from a parent that regrets becoming a parent, or someone who has never had kids…

Both those numbers seem too low. The right one doubly so.

I mean… They would have been right 5 years ago. But then they caught up and are showing some other manufacturers up.

Similarly here, Chinese manufacturers are making progress, and as usual they’re catching up quite well. In a few years I fully expect to see actual competition, and competition benefits everyone.

To answer the titular question, “one day at a time”

Life has no meaning. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves, to borrow a movie line.

I have no grand plan, I have no ultimate purpose. I just am here, and one day I will be gone. Hopefully I can make some other people’s lives better in the meantime, although I certainly wouldn’t say I’m living for other people.

All it does is make me think “wow, Samsung is really cheaping out with the logic staff, strike harder!”

Personally I’m a big fan of Antarctica.

Never seen their people or government do stupid shit.

Every time I see"court orders striking workers to go back to work" I always wonder yo myself why they think that will work.

Of course, I’m even MORE baffled when it works.

You guys had them so terrified that they got courts involved, and you think THEY Hold the power?

Protip: if you hold out long enough, fines will be dropped. If you hold out long enough, their resort is to put you in jail, in which you still won’t be working (for that company, anyway)

Also there’s a super secret move where you and your coworkers drag your employer out of their home in the middle of the night.

Free speech: “I think nazis and their modern counterparts should be killed”

Direct threat: “I am going to kill these specific people”

Lmao sure it was “the libs” and definitely not the government that actually did things.

Hilarious, when I point out whataboutisms in the other direction, I always get a ton of MLs piling on saying I’m just trying to deflect criticism.

Interesting.

My wife thought we were “in the country” when she moved in.

I can see a hospital from my front door.

If shit hit the fan, we are definitely not “in the country” enough to not have to worry about it immediately.

Heck, if it’s zombies, we will be dealing with them before they take over the world, since they’d be wandering away from hospitals in search of flesh.

If it’s bombs, we live too close to secondary and tertiary targets to be unaffected, especially if there are storms blowing fallout up to us.

I guess there isn’t much point to my comment beyond “make sure you go really far out to where you can’t see city glows on the horizon at night.”

I hope someone can do this to microslop, then it’ll get fixed in 20 minutes. (and break 6 other things in the process)

Had the DOJ just purchased it from the start, we would never even be hearing about it.

Again.

I was planning on buying my wife a laptop so we can play games together. Not anymore.

I was also hoping to upgrade my RAM this year, but that’s definitely not happening now.

Honestly I probably just won’t be upgrading for another 5-7years.

Crazy how greed will drive off all business even after the price spike has come down.

Nah, I want someone to like me for me, not because magic.

On the one hand, you kind of are making yourself a lie of sorts, which is unethical.

On the other hand, presumably the magic is permanent and that’s just the new you, forever, so it’s not a lie. You’ve just changed your personality to fit their desire/needs.

So much in the way that Aladdin became a prince via phenomenal cosmic power, he really was a prince and not a fake prince, and therefore never really lied to jasmine about that (he just about literally any part of his past as a prince, since he wasn’t until yesterday), because genie magic isnt some cheap parlor trick.

So yeah, as long as you are the one permanently changing and you don’t lie about it then I guess that’s okay with me.

Lmao imagine Arguing what is legal and what is illegal when discussing dealing with ICE and all the illegal shit they do with impunity every say
