I didn't see anything in the bible that says you shouldn't smoke weed.

What I fear more than the tech is the idea that when most jobs are replaced with it, people will still be expected to find work somehow.

I'm lazy and tend to sit around a lot. That said, I'd still take woods over beach any day. I got my camera and telephoto lens for wildlife photos, walking in the shade at a comfortable pace... That's a good way to spend a couple hours.

My cat showed up at our back door as a kitten and my sister was able to catch her and get her spayed. We kept her in the basement for a while away from the other cats, but I would spend time playing with her and sleep on a futon to keep her company (or maybe that was for my sister's dog while she was at college, but I think it was for both of them). Anyway, she was generally pretty shy around most people, but she was my best buddy. She spent well over 90% of her time in my bedroom.

She liked to cuddle with me, but usually only for a few minutes at a time.

We had to put her down less than a year ago. That morning was the first time I actually cried in over 25 years.

I loved the time I tried to copy something on StackOverflow and a fake ad popped up for a SO-branded copy/paste device.

I've been on three different ADHD drugs over the past 30 years. I don't know where I'd be without that, but I think I'm much better off than I would be without it.

I was on adderall for a little while back in school, but they took me off of that due to the weight loss (It was a good time for me though. I had hobbies and I was thin. Now I'm a lazy fat-ass).

Far Cry 3 was the game that got me to stop buying Ubisoft games. I enjoyed the game, but when someone invited me to an online match (something that almost never happened for me) I found that playing online required some U-Play account or whatever they called it, and it cost $10. I tried the free account code that came with the game, but my brother already used it. So at that point I was pissed. I didn't play online often, but it would've been nice to play with one of the very few friends I had without being expected to pay more money for the game I already paid for.

Fuck Ubisoft. I hope that company burns.

La-Mulana would have to be one of my top picks. With the catchy music, the "fuck you" difficulty, and the classic adventure theme really makes it stand out in my mind.

Too much paperwork.

 

This is at least the second email I got asking to "collaborate" on Google Play. Protect your accounts, folks.

My favorite part is how he addresses it to himself.

 
 

Well, actually my dog found it, but I got a short video.

 

I'm not sure exactly when, but at some point in the past month I stopped getting text messages in a group chat between my mom and siblings. Weird thing is I don't seem to have any problem getting texts sent just to me, or even with other group texts (as far as I know).

We mostly just share memes and shit, but it drives me nuts thinking that someone could be trying to tell me something and it just doesn't reach my phone.

 

I had her for at least 18 years and she was special. She was shy and spent 99% of her time in my bedroom, but she was also pretty vocal and would often reply when you spoke to her.

So before anyone mentions it, yes I really did want to put Linux on it (MX Linux is my current favorite), but the person it's for is not very computer savvy and I don't feel like doing tech support, so fuck it, they can keep using Windows.

But before I hand it off, I was wondering what else I should install (and/or what stupid Windows settings to disable) to make it as usable and secure as reasonably possible.

So far I'm thinking Firefox + uBlock Origin, and maybe Avast unless someone has a less annoying free antivirus.

 

Honestly, I find these emails more amusing than infuriating. Is that $800 per week? Total? I guess I'll never know, because I didn't become a software developer just to work in a warehouse.

I just got a bill for a Wayfair credit card that was issued by Citi bank that I did not apply for. I never even shopped on that website.

I tried contacting both Citi bank and Wayfair, but since I don't have the full account number, I couldn't get past Citi's automated phone menu.

Wayfair's phone system was a fucking nightmare getting transferred to various departments, but eventually transferred me to a foreign call center where they insisted that they needed my social security number and birth date to file a report, but I'm not giving them that.

The best thing is that the scammer managed to get a higher credit limit than I was able to get on my own card.
