DM me your card details and I’ll send you a couple of pints from my platypus farm.
As a platypus lays eggs and produces milk, it’s the only animal that can make its own custard.
Mario Kart DS.
Shit’s a masterpiece.
They were trying to be cunty, and in that they were a success.
MS does this with ALL their forums, and it’s cunty.
Don’t you mean Jeb!
See, I have ADHD so that’s kinda how I roll too. My mind goes off on tangents as I’m talking.
But crucially, I’m not trying to be the president of the USA.
I’d ride the CHUNGUS 3000.
“Advertising doesn’t work on me!” I mutter smugly, before loading up the Apple keynote to see what my next phone will do.
and those that do post don’t really interact with others
I’ve found quite the opposite on Mastodon. I get WAY more interaction on there than I ever did on Twitter.
I do a radio show on Monday nights. Despite having more followers on Twitter I never really managed to attract many listeners. Dropped it for a few years and started up again a few months back, publicising solely through Mastodon. Engagement with it is three or four times what it was before.
It’s essentially a request show, and there have been a couple of weeks where I’ve not had to pick any songs to fill the time, all of it has been filled by listener requests.
That said, that’s only my experience, it may be different for others.
Today I sold my beloved 2008 Mini, partly because, while the engine was still completely sound at 130k miles (barring the turbo that blew up three years ago), the rest of the car was beginning to fall apart. One of the rear light clusters kept shorting, interior panels worked themselves loose, the AC stopped working, the self leveling mechanism in one of the headlights broke. And so on, and so on.
I’m genuinely sad that I had to let it go, but it was on the cusp of being a massive pain in the ass to sort out.
But that engine was still solid.
I “flew to Ukraine” to sign up for YT Premium family at a fraction of what they normally charge. No regrets.
It’s never really occurred to me that the US is quite unusual in having fleets of buses dedicated to getting kids to and from school. I wonder why that is?
Because yeah, here in the UK kids either go under their own steam, are dropped off by their parents, or take regular public transport (or a regular bus that’s chartered for the school run twice a day).
I have the same, cleaned my tonsils a treat at the same time.
How very antisemiti…oh, hang on…
I watched a 4K play through of Hellblade 2 a couple of months back. Played and loved the original after my wife played it and loved it. She played the second one and said that while the story was good and it’s very pretty, it was kinda dull to play.
So yeah, I watched someone else playing it, and yeah, the story and visuals were great.
Here in the UK you can be prosecuted for calling an ambulance unnecessarily. As a result, not many people do it. If we’re calling for one, chances are it’s because we need one.
Broken foot and we’re not alone on a mountain somewhere? We’ll make our own way to A&E, thanks. Having a heart attack? You gotta know we’re hitting 999 and demanding an ambulance.
And yeah, of course there are people who try it on because they think their special, or they’re having a real bad mental health time, but we have pretty highly trained operators who know how to sift through the calls and triage them appropriately. It’s not often that one of our ambulances gets to a frivolous call.
I was talking to my wife about this yesterday, and ultimately this is a kink that’s dicey as fuck. There’s no way to play it 100% without running the risk of rape.
I mean, if you’re a guy who gets off on women being asleep/passed out when you have sex with them, knowing that they’ve given express consent kinda kills the vibe. But you can’t expect to have sex with someone who hasn’t given you express consent.
So in the end I fall down on having zero sympathy for the guys who claim they thought she was in on it. She’s either told you it’s cool or she hasn’t.
