how much money do resturants steal from people by charging for sauce and not actually giving it to the customers? sure it's only a little bit of money at a time, but that shit must add up because it happens to me *constantly*

back in the early '00s, i had a monochrome lcd pda. i had a piece of software on it called "mirror." all it did was turn all the pixels on the screen on to make the screen as dark as possible, and because of that: shiny i still think that was neat.

wow. general motors really woke up and said "you know what? let's make our systems less secure!" this is seriously the first time i've seen a platform *remove* TOTP as an option for absolutely no reason

Thank goodness they wrote dongle on this dongle. Otherwise I might not know what it is.

I’ve had this cursed USB cable in my possession for probably close to 2 decades. I’ve dared not throw it away, because it presumably exists for a very specific reason. I’ve also dared not ever plugged it into anything, because it’s my sworn duty to keep as much magic smoke inside things as possible.

Being an adult means constantly unsubscribing from mailing lists that always seem to magically re-add you mere moments later.

Our skating rink asked us what kinda prizes they should get for their arcade, and we told them Pokemon cards. They definitely understood the assignment.

Just sos chaining trying to get dex entries for gorebyss and huntail… and end up getting a shiny clampearl before either of the evos at all 😝

I don’t know how much a shadow weighs, but I can promise you that it’s not light.

Ngl I get it now, why people shiny hunt. Mainlining dopamine like it’s going out of style.

You for real did!!! 3,315; I was way under odds! I’m never this lucky so I definitely credit your luck! 😂💖

So I decided I was gonna shiny hunt celebi on the 3ds vc crystal. But since I’ve never done an 8192 hunt, I figured I’d try for a shiny starter before I played the whole game, to see if I could handle it. Now less than 200 resets later… kinda afraid I blew all my luck on the wrong hunt 😜

I just got junk mail (as in physical paper in my mailbox, not email) advertising senior care with the tagline "It's about time"... addressed to my father. Reader, my father died two decades ago. Someone really out there paying money to print and mail without checking if people are dead 😂

A hill I will die on: Captain’s Wafers are better than saltines. Full stop.

Can someone explain to me what happened here? I finally felt like I had just taken the upper hand in the battle and … “draw”? We both had 5m+ on our move times? I feel like I just got ripped off. #pokemonchampions

I spend what is likely an inordinate amount of time trying to ensure my next meal will include cheese in some way

Any VR devs out there have any guesses as to why Unity would render nothing but a skybox to the headset? The camera preview correctly shows geometry, but somehow that never makes it to the HMD? (Video below shows me rocking the camera rotation, you can see the skybox move in the VR view.) #gamedev

6 times in the past year and a half, Uber has emailed me to tell me my account will be "deleted in 30 days" if I don't log in to keep it active. I've never logged in during any of that time. Why won't you just delete my ac-- oh. You're advertising and pretending it's not spam. Fuck you, Uber.

Had a tab with Cam's (@playtowinmtg.bsky.social) Urza list open, and now I get to explain to my coworker why I was on a page titled "A NUDE EGG THAT I WON..." 😂 the universe seems to really be trying to make me watch itysl, with as often as i'm seeing (or living ig) the memes

Do electrodes dream with electric sheep?

my hobby: typing wholehearted, lengthy replies to posts; reading what i wrote; and then pressing cancel thinking "nah, this isn't adding anything"

I love (read: sarcasm) how more and more often I'm seeing companies use "account updates" as an excuse to send you spammy promotional emails with no way to unsubscribe. Seealso: push notifications. I'm so sick of corporations having such unfettered access to us at this point.

i hate my editors

being a grown up is constantly unsubscribing from email lists you never signed up for

i always thought the flowbee was gonna have a bigger impact on the world

what kind of munster would do this to someone?! anyone who would treat you this way is a total curd

someone stole my dish of hot potato covered in cheese, so I'm persona non gratin

When I was but a sprout, I wondered why all the graybeards were so disgruntled with the state of everything. Every passing moment as the natural color fades from my roots, I empathize more and more.

Slide in a talk I'm watching this morning: "Take a step back to see if you can divide the elephant" Someone should ask the elephant how it feels. If we're going to address it, that is.

"Have a nice day" - kind sentiment, standard fare "Have a good week" - as above, if mildly less normal "Have a great year" - appropriate in specific contexts, otherwise odd with no frame of reference "Have a good life" - paradoxically rude to downright threatening

the olympics just aired a fuckin video package about a figure skater’s love of magic the gathering
