  • Fucking Instagram and their Web interface. Try to get the maximum video size on a horizontal screen. Bonus points when a horizontal video is uploaded to their vertical frame optimised viewer.

    I did the math before: it was literally less than 1% of my screen. There’s no full screen feature.

    Not like it cost them even a measurable amount of money to have one developed. They keep it awful intentionally to get you to install the app. Fuck companies like that.

    There was this guy that I thought was my friend. Whenever I felt down or had pretty bad thoughts, he assured me that was normal. I get that sometimes it helps, but he also never let me take things for granted, and even made me question genuinely positive things. He ended up ruining both of my major relationships and led me from a decently paying job (that I kind of enjoyed) to working a minimum wage job that ranges from decent to awful. He prevented me from enjoying things in life that I can never go back to experience ever again. I can’t say we’re besties anymore. That guy? That’s me.










  • Cures hiccups.

    I know it sounds bullshit, but I haven’t had a long hiccup session (read: longer than ~4-5 hiccups) in more than a decade, possibly two: I chill the fuck out.

    The instant it starts I take a deep breath, relax my esophagus/larynx/whatever, and put myself in the most Zen Buddha state of mind I can. I keep taking long, relaxed breaths. If another hiccup slips through I still remain a ketamine sloth, believing that it’s just the one or few passing hiccup.

    Most of the time I don’t get a second (third) one. It’s over in a matter of a few seconds.
