My friend wants to play games with me last weekend, but I completely forgot. It's something she wanted to do for her birthday since we're states apart and our schedules are weird. She said she's fine, but I can tell I disappointed her by missing such a simple request and I feel absolutely terrible.

However, it was a wake up call. I've been very lethargic and tired, but I just kind of ignored it, but it's now affecting my friendship, so I'm going to try to make some changes to help with my energy. I don't want to disappoint her again if I can help it.

They say this, but if I sat for 5 minutes doing nothing (if it's not my break), they'd be on my ass. I'd prefer the meeting so I can rest my eyes at least while they're talking.

Close to a month. Depression.

I did change my underwear though 🤷🏿‍♀️

I saw lightening bugs for the first time in years when I moved to the east coast. I was so excited, I caught some and brought them inside to show my cat (I let them back out of course). Next year, nada. So far this year? Also nada. I even made a point to leave the leaves. 😔

Art Nouveau. It looks so whimsical. I'd also like a Gothic/Gothic Revival.

The Fatal Frame series (maybe the second one here and there) and Kunitsu-Gami. The second one surprised me since it's relatively new, but I thought it was a great surprise. I loved the hell out of that game.

I was thinking of my own experiences, but that's why I said "often." I personally find that older people who use tech are honestly much better than other generations when it comes to it. My grandma has been into tech from the jump and she blows my mom out of the water when it comes to tech skill. But I find that the ones who were not interested have a hard time catching up. Mostly because it all happened so fast

Boomers and Gen X often handed tech problems to their kids, assuming young people just get it. That mindset stuck—tech as an innate skill, not something learned.

Millennials did learn, but by messing around—customizing MySpace, bypassing school filters, using forums. We had to figure it out. Now, everything's simplified and locked down. Because we're the ones making a lot of the tech and we've figured it out for them. You don’t need to understand the tech we make to use it.

The problem? Older generations think kids will “just get it,” like we did. But no one’s teaching them. We’re giving them phones and tablets, not skills or understanding. We assume either they just get it, or that they're tinkering around like "we" did.

So, I don't really have a backyard, just an "out back," so no fences or anything. I've had the feeder out for over a year and there's been no issues, but recently, two cats have decided to make my feeder their hunting ground. I believe one of them was successful (I found a discarded wing). Any suggestions on how to keep the kitties away? I love cats, so I'm not looking to hurt them.

I think that was amazingly awesome. The people saying there's a time and place, you're correct. This was the time and place. Take a stand, make noise, make people uncomfortable. Quiet compliance is what got us here in the first place.

So, went to get my mail, saw a package. I was already expecting one, so blah, blah, blah, I opened it and quickly realized it wasn't my package. It's a tirara, as well as a bracelet. I looked up the brand and, thankfully, they're not diamonds or anything crazy, but they range from $150 to almost $700, either scale being expensive to me. And a tirara has to be an event, which makes it even worse. I checked for an order slip to reference the number, but it's only the tiara. I don't recognize the name, and I've been at this address for a few years. Do I just return to sender and hope for the best? Community post?

I've tried reverse lookup and it just keeps sending me to Pinterest, so pardon the post.

Does anyone know what this is called and/or the shape? Like, is this one long rectangle, a ruana, etc.? I really like it but can't seem to find one that's this big. I either want to buy it or possibly make it, but I can't figure out what the shape is.

I randomly got this in the mail. It's seems to be a collection of like, snippets and poems and what have you. Not mad at it, just curious.

Posting another photo of the inside.

I was scrolling and saw this video of people dancing, showing different moves throughout the years, including recent ones. I know people "dance," like, generally move to a beat, but, like, having moves and stuff, where do you do that? Is the idea to ease the moves into your own dance "repertoire?" As in, do you expect to see people milly rock, like unprompted?

I love that they referred her to an anti-abortion crisis center, because there's a 99% chance they'll just tell her the same "pro-life" garbage she's been spewing and send her ass home.

Remember, God makes no mistakes 🤗

This past weekend, my laptop decided it's had enough and has given me the blue screen of death. I've put it in recovery mode, tried to reinstall windows, the works, and it refuses. I have no idea why. I was logged on, looking something up, and it went kaput. I wasn't downloading anything, the computer was in it's sleeve prior, not too wet, cold, hot, etc. Battery is fine, the laptop it's self is maybe two years old.

My understanding is that Linux is a kind of system that you download the components to a USB or what not and then install it on your machine. Is that something I could do in this case? Or do I need to take it somewhere?

Edit: it seems I may have to check if it's a hardware problem. The error code is Bad_system_config_info, but it changed to something else at one point but I didn't write that one down. :(

I mean, she's still using it correctly in that context. 👀

If I say something "tastes like ass" and I'm eating, like, a bagel, I'm probably saying it tastes bad and not like ass cheeks.
