  • In the early 00’s, we put DSL on a business card shaped cdrw and carried them around. When it would get too hot outside we’d go to the library and boot into Linux, bypassing the software firewalls they were running and download as much music as we could to a tape drive. It took a few weekends to get the drivers and software right but it worked and was so much faster than our home connections. $5 got you top10 hits from any genre you wanted. We thought we were SO smart like we invented bootlegging.




  • My stay at home ex wife who never lifted a finger around the house got into self help podcasts, decided our relationship was toxic, diagnosed me with anger issues, and filed for a divorce. Now she’s stuck with all the chores and trying to live off minimum wage like she did when she was free and in college (15 years ago). She was not ready for this brave new world.





  • I was raised in southern hospitality, so I know exactly what you’re going through.

    I just stopped using pronouns altogether.

    “Excuse me” “Thank you” “I appreciate you” “Do you know the way to San Jose”

    Turns out 99% of interactions don’t depend on what genitals a person’s rocking. I guess if you’re asked to identify a suspect in a crime it might help? Point being, stop focusing on their crotch and what they’re doing with it 😁 you’ve been trained to be weird about it.
