Our dogs are available for us to love on and dote over.

That’s their job. I like to tuck mine in, fussing with her covers until she makes these contented soft honking sounds.

It’s how I show that I love her.

“He who fights with monsters”.

I was shocked at how well developed the world/universe is and by how much I’m enjoying it.

When I first heard of it, and of “LitRPG”, I thought it sounded stupid.

Have you seen the meme where the angry parakeet hates the cracker until he bites it and then he’s really happy? That’s me, with this series.

I’m still ignorant of whether the rest of the genre is good or not, but this series definitely is.

I’m ready to book a flight to Australia to help nursemaid the author back to health from whatever thing recently almost took him from us.

The last book series I enjoyed this much was The Dresden Files before the 5 year book gap followed by it going completely off the rails.

I read the first several books in the series (which is currently 12 books long) until I realized how much fun listening to them would be. I was right. So now for my second “read” I’m listening to them, and just having the best time doing so.

I’ve expressed myself poorly here, but tl;dr: That series great. Me like very much. Me super happy to have tried it after all.

Ham radio.

All I ever get asked for by the politicians I vote for (the Democrats) is money.

Maybe I’m subscribed to the wrong things.

I voted against Trump but if something bad happened because of him in my state, some absolutely trash human being would still say the exact same thing about me.

Be better.

I’m not sure why fucktards downvoted you, because you’re right.

Just in: Elon Musk can fuck off. Preferably to Mars, permanently.

Fuck him and his political party.

0x0 must be for 0 compassion and 0 IQ.

No that’d be the executives, you dickhead. Hey - please remember to breathe.

He stopped ice from raiding farms and hotels a couple weeks ago, it was in the news.

Then ICE resumed doing those things.

Would you believe him this time? I wouldn’t. He’s a lying flip flopping TACO.

Your other choices are to vote for the fascist, or vote for a third party who has even less chance of winning than the less bad choice you’re so smug about, or just not voting which again helps the fascist.

Well put. I was mad at first and then immediately remembered that they’re not wrong. :(

These days it is. As someone who is normally very patriotic, this sucks badly.

Like we have a choice.

It would take me just under 3 hours to get to work using public transportation. One way. About $7 total per trip. Now double both of those things and if you squint really hard you’ll understand why I hate all the “fuck cars” dipshits. They might as well call it “, “fuck not being with Scarlett Johansson” because yes, obviously, but now you’re just living in fantasy land.

Too late, the opposition (my fellow Democrats) made sure most of us aren’t armed.

Then keep your fucking mouth shut. We left wing armed people in America are few and far between, and it’s our own party’s fault. None of my IRL friends even k ow I own guns, and they’d be horrified if they did. I can’t buy standard magazines that my guns literally shipped with in the box (they are now banned), can no longer buy the same guns I already own (they are now banned), and in another year I’ll need to attend a class and fill out a form for a permit if I want to purchase a firearm, regardless of me owning them already.

“2a where you at?” <— fuck you, that’s fucking where. We’re probably less than 1% of the population, way too few to make any difference.

My fellow Democrats did this.

Enjoy fascism, assholes. You made sure we can’t stop it.

Not sure why they used the template from when the text was basically, “You’re going to use AI to benefit humanity, right?”, but okay.

Is it time to start using the word “retarded” again?

I used to think I missed the 1980s, but now I’m not so sure.

Stop fucking using twitter. Stop posting about it, stop posting things that link to it. Delete your account like you should have already.

Meh. Google Gemini has given me great medical advice always couched carefully in “but check with your doctor.” and so on.

I was surprised too.
