well if your only competency is “removed by moderator” then you probably have a future in American politics or fintech.

eternity.

it’s a bit broken in some places, but it still works just fine for my shitposting.

if asked this I would go into a complicated explanation of how I would dismantle the switches to identify if they were functioning first because of sub-par outsourced manufacturing standards.

they’d probably attempt to move on to a different question, but I would always bring it back to those shoddy light switches.

“so do you have any questions for us?”

yeah, do you know who the manufacturer of the light switches are? it’s probably Leviton, but I’m hoping it’s Honeywell because they’re far superior in quality. you see Leviton uses brass plated contacts vs Honeywell uses full brass fittings that don’t cause resistance and increases the potential for fires. are you aware that using one brand over another could reduce your insurance costs by up to 3%?

save about $200 through the year and hire someone from a reputable cleaner to clean your home about a week before.

then, the day before, just do touchups.

it’s the best gift you can give yourself if this is such a problem.

btw, it’s about $4 per paycheck if you get paid weekly.

from 9-19 every holiday started off with my father and mother being passive-aggressive with each other. this usually continued until dad grew frustrated and began to yell or scream at me. why he targeted me I don’t know. there were two other kids. probably because they were older and would throw his shit back at him.

one year in particular he screamed at me to go burn the trash (as one did in the rural days). it was fall and was very windy. I told him it would catch the yard on fire. “just do it!” fine…

I took it out and lit it. came back inside and went back to my room because I didn’t want to get yelled at. keep in mind I was around 11 years old at the time. about 30 minutes later he’s screaming for me. I come out and about an acre of our land is on fire. it was mostly tall (dry) grass. “what’s wrong with you?! are you fucking stupid?!!” we spent the rest of the afternoon fighting the spread of the fire while he berated me. then had a disappointing dinner followed by gifts and “love” with messages like, “smile more!” and “is this not good enough for you?”

that was the day I lost all respect for my father. that was the day I stopped trusting adults.

I don’t share this to gain sympathy. I fucking hate sympathy, frankly. I share this as a cautionary tale for adults today. don’t mistreat your kids. when you’re on your deathbed, these are the things that will haunt you, and you’ll be alone to suffer without closure as your vision simply fades out to nothing.

Merry fucking Christmas.

this is AI, or just a poorly written story that never actually happened.

single page apps. I fucking HATE all these apps that straight refuse to allow you to open multiple tabs.

the links are JS action hooked to redirect you instead of just linking you to the page.

it’s fucking bullshit.

also, fuck webp.

Walgreens is probably the best place to get toys. just say, “my little nephew is sick”, and nobody will judge.

nope. they pretty much didn’t give a shit about me until they learned I was somewhat successful and had kids, then they wanted to be involved in my family.

no birthday cards, no wedding invitations, nothing. then bam, once they all started to get old enough to start dying they wanted to reach out and be family again.

not just that they ruined a particularly fond memory I had as a child and I never forgave them for it.

fuck em. they’re just strangers to me by now anyway. I wish them the best in life but have no desire to include them in my life.

there’s more. I’m pretty proud tbh. both Reddit and imgur I was banned because I told Nazis to kill themselves. and any time I get permabanned from a lemmy domain is usually because I pissed off some snowflake and they made some shit up to ban me.

what?!

abduct me harder daddy!

server uptime, no more than 30 days.

patching should happen monthly.

workstation. again, patching.

I got into the habit at work and started doing it at home. 🤷 that’s about it.

it’s times like these I wish I could read…😞

you’re god damned right I have a list.

🤔 do illiterate people even use computers?

can they??

for me, spite.

I’ll be damned if I’m going to prove all the abusive adults from my childhood right. most of them are dead by now, but fuck them. I won’t win unless they’re all dead.
