g’night gang. xo
While this looks cute, I have come to realise that this is a psychological game meant to disrupt my morning and ensure that I must work around the cat.
Believe me, I know exactly what you mean lol
Their godamn little faces are so cute
So fluffy! I’d risk my hands.
The murder mittens are brutal!
Peregrine TIME!!! https://www.youtube.com/live/oibsohQ14cY
If you’re gonna stop slackjawed open-mouth in the middle of the footpath, at least have the decency to move out of the flow of people, rather than stand there like a dipstick.
FAST WALKERS UNITE! WE WILL TAKE BACK THE FOOTPATHS.
Elbows out, speed up.
Reading some reviews of albums I like on the Angry Metal Guy blog and I think this is the way to do it. Just listen to stuff, decide if you like it, then check out the reviews years later. Then, instead of reviews colouring your opinion, you can just go “well, I liked it.”
I actually like reading reviews. I enjoy other people’s perspectives, and there are some really good writers out there who can open your eyes to things you wouldn’t even consider.
I’m reminded of the Sarah J. Maas Throne of Glass series. I got to the end of the series, and really enjoyed it. I get to the online reader reviews and it was a real eye-opener! It was all women, and all they were talking about was who was shacking up with whom. Nothing about the plot. I don’t know whether this series spawned the “Romantacy” genre that is now totally a thing, but yeah - I sort of missed most of that, being caught up in the actual story.
It was as though the Wyrdkeys, the Valg, the war and all the kingdoms coming together to fight for a better world were just a backdrop for everyone to hook up.
I kind of had this with Dark Souls II. I had put in about 100 hours, then looked it up on Youtube and was surprised to see people hated it. I’ve been vindicated though as people have come to realise it’s Peak Souls
real reviews from experts good
reviews from some rando on tiktok doesn’t interest me
and don’t start me on watch videos
Oh for sure. That’s what I meant. Established writers. …I think the Angry Metal Guyteam has been around for a while now. (At least the site has anyway)
I do that with everything these days. It’s a better deal.
shrug
I never did take much notice of reviews other than as announcements that a record or movie or tv show or book has been released
Can’t quite get my head around the fact that they’re playing Hole in the supermarket
I heard Brittany spears on gold fm the other day :(
They’re even playing Lady Gaga.
Now that makes me sad
the completion of the move away from google has begun 👍
GrapheneOS?
for my PC
i have an apple phone and anyway rarely use the phone for anything other than a few very safe apps, I use duck on my phone and prefer to log into websites rather than use apps if I can help it
so, proton mail
duck for search
and I want to go all linux soon
The best time to go all linux is today.
I heard about SoulSeek for the first time today. Has anyone used it before? An oldschool chatroom and P2P platform. I checked out some users and got Hold Your Horse Is by Hella and an album by Absolute Elsewhere, who were the inspiration behind the Blood Incantation album I really like
I used the shit out of it 20 years ago.
It’s still a thing. I heard about it from a woman on Youtube connecting to it through a knockoff Aliexpress ipod so whilst direct use of it has probably dropped off, maybe people have found other ways to connect
My cat is getting some rest for her nap later.
Anyone know of someone needing some work right now? Looking for a forkie/picker 3-4 days a week around Braeside area, with 5 days a week as of next year.
Should note that I’m happy to support anyone who isn’t a forkie but would like to be in getting their license!
the daily unkaosing has been done, tho not as much reading as I would like, but thoughts are getting clearer , now to do some latin lessons and hopefully an earlyish night 😊
KPIs have risen again.
…fuck
Speaking of KPI’s, the other day I received a package from Amazon that had to be returned and I suspect it’s KPI related.
My assumption is that their warehouse staff KPI’s deincentivise putting on bandaids because the thing I bought had blood sprayed on it.
Got a refund, replacement & $50 credit.
Didn’t you go through this nonsense not too long ago?! Fuckin’ bean counters. I don’t understand putting staff under such pressure only to turn a blind eye to all of the issues it creates.
I did yes.
Met with team lead about it to vent my spleen this afternoon
I hope your concerns are taken on board!
eee I drunkenly bought a new subby last night. Been meaning to pull the trigger for a while I just needed those neurons to fire a bit less to make it happen.
Old one is shit and will become a coffee table.
Score!
I just got “name 3 songs’d” but it was about old dos games.
IT people are weird.
I have to go to the dentist this morning. It’s cold and wet outside and way to early and I really don’t wanna.
Is there anyone on the surface of this planet that actually likes and looks forward to going to the dentist? That leaps out the door going ‘This is the highlight of my week!’ With a five buck saver on those with severe toof pain of course.
