Notices by I’m Tired And Everything Hurts (guffo@topspicy.social)

Merry Xmas!

As always, if you’re feeling rough because of family issues or whatever, today I’m legally your dad and I approve of you. You’re doing great.

I’m not lending you any money.

Pirate everything. Who gives a fuck anymore? Steal some joy from the abyss.

You know who else is technically an incredibly advanced Large Language Model machine? C-3PO.

Would you trust C-3PO to do something without fucking it up or getting in the way? Of course not. Get real.

I was concerned about finding another non-Chrome, non-Mozilla browser that actually supports modern web sites but then I remembered that modern websites are awful and I’d rather not visit them.

The new AI sponsor of NaNoWriMo says not writing your novel with AI is ‘classist and ableist’.

Counterpoint: Internet person, Guffo, says that any creative challenge where the sponsor is an AI company trying to shame people into using the Plagiarism Engine to do their creative work for them can suck his nuts and buttcheeks.

@girlonthenet I get the fear when I write scripts to automatically deploy software to people at work. I can't imagine the butthole-puckering that writing the code to safely land people on the FUCKING MOON would give me

America: This is our Prime Minister winning his seat in parliament

@anon_opin well fuck

My son and his friend are in my lounge. It's all skibidy rizz this and ohio gyat that. I've told them both that they talk a lot of "utter shite" but they called me a bumbaclaat.

@fesshole That feels low to me, but I guess I can’t argue with Science

@NanoRaptor Just my opinion, but if you want the ULTIMATE ThinkPad, then it has to be the one with the butterfly keyboard. The Thinkpad 701

@NanoRaptor I mean, LOOK

At this point, you’re less likely to be catastrophically owned by downloading a cracked copy of Windows Vista from a Russian torrent site than buying a new copy of Windows 11.

@nikki I mean...I'm not surprised?

@nikki Well, any of it! I'm confused but not surprised!

@girlonthenet Have your own shit to do and don't be in each other's hair constantly.

Trust each other until you have a genuine reason not to.

And the best advice is this, paraphrased from one of the Hitchhiker's Guide books: "You care, I don't, you win."

This avoids so many unnecessary arguments. Do you care about what colour to paint the hallway or are you just trying to win an argument? Let shit go unless it *really* matters to you.

Married for 24 years this year, so it seems to be working

@goatsarah Maybe so! I’m pretty sure that a huge course of kill-it-with-fire grade antibiotics is what caused it in the first place.

OK, right, I am catastrophically lactose intollerant, where even the slightest amount of it doubles me over in pain with my guts, kidneys, etc, etc. It's horrific, bordering on an allergic reaction.

I had Covid this time last month. Last week, I accidentally ate something with milk in it, and nothing happened. Yesterday, I tried eating doughnuts with milk/dairy in them. Nothing happened.

I think Covid has made my body start producing lactase again???

It’s pronounced JPEJ
