I was thinking it’s a Pretty Hate Machine.

Strange how in polite French society, there are no female cats. Similar to rabbits in Spain…

I was told to better not call a Brazilian girl “garota” even though in Portugal, that’s perfectly acceptable.

The sanctions are working.

I’ve once worked an entire year with no breaks whatsoever during the 8 h shift. High speed, intense, no-errors-policy. After a year, it had taken a huge toll on my health.

I had a solar-powered pocket calculator with a membrane once. Credit-card-sized. You can tell I was a nerd because I owned three pocket calculators at the same time.

Motion to bring “lakh” to the Westen world.

Werewolves are not the same they used to be.

Take an aspirin, they hate the taste.
50 mg a day keeps the bedbugs at bay.
I do it every time I’m staying overnight at hotels, in particular.
Obviously, medical supervision is advised if you intend to do this for a long time, let’s say, more than 2 weeks.

Landing pages, too. Often with a corny Shockwave animation.

Ok, boomer Agreed, dark ager.

Hmm. Interesting, indeed. Now please excuse me while I, once again, sacrifice my own bodily fluids on the modern-age altar of fertility which has been optimized over ages and ages into the convenient shape of a… sock.

We Interrupt This Programme
(Yeah, I’m oldschool like that)

These days, what’s an ashtray in a car for if you can’t fill it with couscous.

We get them a lot around here. They don’t make for good pets, but they keep the borogoves at bay.

I’m getting a sort of buffer underrun when doing routine so I’ll always try and make trivial tasks or busywork faster, more efficient, or superfluous through process design. When I cannot do that, I’ll listen to music or podcasts, that helps somewhat.
The main drawback of this condition is that many employers think I simply “like to work” and bury me in even more busywork.

I’m certain my productivity at work dropped significantly because of this fucking upgrade. It’s slow as molasses, at times unstable and 50% of the time I send the laptop to “hibernate,” both it and me wake up to yet another update cycle, meaning it did a completely unwanted hard restart and my unsaved work has been lost without a warning. Crazy my company is paying for that shit.

Now show Uranus.

I used to be active on one of my country’s most popular forums, if ranked by daily visits. Self-help Q&A style. Apart from me, there were pretty much only three users contributing about 90% of the content. One of them being the only mod. It took me years to figure out, from the timing and the writing style of the posts, that this mod also poses nearly all of the questions and gives all of the first answers too, using a new single-use sock puppet each time.
At the start of this year, it devolved into plain attention whoring and it was really sad, so I left.
