Question for those of you in Canada or the UK or other non-America English-speaking countries: is there an even U-ier U that can be placed after the letter U in American English words to make them Bri'ish English innit gobna?

If you ever see me eating, please knock the food out of my hand. Take it away from me and throw it away. Punch me if you have to.

I’m tired of temperatures that are obtuse angles

Hey friends. This past month I've been dealing with the burial/arrangements for my mother's estate, and had to make some large purchases with my own savings, which I'm not sure will end up being covered with funds from the estate.

I'm not greedy, and I can survive with what I have, but if you've thought about checking out one of my puzzle books or any of my art stuff, I would appreciate your support now more than ever.

Just found out I’m still gay.

Last night I got forced out of my motel room backwards in my underwear and then handcuffed and interrogated by Albuquerque PD because some dude thought the guy that stole his jeep was in my room…

No knock, straight to loudspeaker and telling me to come out with my hands up. Then after they verified my info and checked everything, they let me out of the cuffs and said I was free to go, and I was like… “y’all had me come out in my underwear with no key or glasses…”

Feels vindicating that after the anti-open-source rhetoric from certain people I’ve experienced, I found an issue in a package we use, raised it as an issue in the GitHub repo, received a thanks from a maintainer for writing it up, and someone has a draft of a patch to fix it in less than 24 hours. I don’t take it for granted, but there *is* support out there for this stuff — just not always the traditional “throw money at Microsoft until it works” sort.

@annika that’s very sweet of you but no need to send me a card unless you really want to.

Chex Mix changed the recipe of their bold version and it isn’t good anymore. They made it into a garlic herb variant and it lost the extra savory Worcestershire depth that I loved it for. 🙁

I heard a radio ad for a nursery just now mention “vibrant mums and cheerful pansies” and I wanted to buzz in and answer “What is the mood when your mom puts on her most extra pride outfit because you’re bringing home your partner for the first time?”

@jonty reminds me of a friend’s product: USB A to garden hose converter. https://www.wartoaster.com/store/p81/USB_%3E_Garden_Hose_converter.html

Ugh, that disappointing feeling when the straight friend you have a crush on triples down on his straightness by *not only* smiling and saying he’s flattered but not interested in a BJ, BUT THEN he not only gets a girlfriend, he MARRIES her AND has a kid and posts happy family vacation photos?!

RUDE.

/s. Ish.

@mattl a veteran-owned company that makes t-shirts and patches and stuff for mil-bros with a good heart but a dark sense of humor.

I can’t be held responsible for the investments I make when I’m horny and idealistic.

@mattl these fucking AI bots replying with misinformation…

Why is my brain such a piece of shit

@ai6yr TIL. Apparently one of my favorite plaid shirts is a women’s style button-wise.

@MaxUK @ai6yr

I’m in front, pic is me in a yellow plaid shirt and yellow bandana with the cast of Wham City Comedy behind me.
