I just opened the Logitech config utility and half of it was an advertisement for some Disney shit. This just sealed the deal for me never buying anything from Logitech again. The keyboard is shitty enough, but ads in the config utility? Are you fucking kidding me?

I get that it's tough out there and artists need to do what they can... But I miss the days when people posted art online just to share. Now it's a crop or a preview or some level of advert for the rest of the art that lives on Patreon or whatever.
At the point in my life where I'm considering buying a tablesaw so I can make the furniture that I want.

One of my favorite things is finding people saying shit like "comedy used to be funny before everyone got all WOKE about it" and re-framing it as "I haven't grown as a person in several decades and don't understand why people can't say slurs anymore". Usually they just dig the hole deeper.
2012: "God I want a job in social media. That would be so cool and so creative" 2026: "I never wish to see a post again. All content drains my soul. The pursuit of KPIs has killed art. I want to live in the woods and only be contactable by sky writing"
I absolutely adore the Beastmaster outfit. Characters with their eyes hidden by hair or a hat are 100/100 character design to me. It's so freakin adorable.
Mom, cooking for herself, putting 1/2 a pinch of salt/pepper into an entire pot of food: "I don't know why this is so bland!" Mom, watching me cook, forcing me to wildly underseason: "I don't know why this is so bland!" Mom, eating what I cooked while she was distracted: "omg I love your cooking!"
"Welcome to our Gander reveal party" "Don't you mean gender reveal party" "No" *Dozens of geese burst out of a cake. Ominous honking fills the air. There are no genders only chaos*
Lady outside walking her dog, looking to pick blackberries where everyone else also walks their dogs. About to warn her not to eat the pissberries, then she yanks on her dog's leash extra hard. Enjoy your extra-tangy blackberries.
"I don't have time to answer that text message, so I'll just leave the notification there as a reminder." It is now five days later and it's just a beacon of guilt and shame.
