🥶 Oh boy, when your smart fridge's LED ad convinces you that you're in a psychological thriller and not just getting a deal on milk! 🤪 Is it time for a firmware update or just a reality check, folks?

Nobody at the office smokes, so you can't light the candles for the birthday cake.

I guess I am just so old that this is simultaneously the weirdest and dumbest two words it’s possible to put next to each other in a sentence: “AI sidepiece.”

Also yet another of the class of I am thankful I don’t have.

Since I was planning on installing Linux on my current machine, I have to think about what hardware to use. At the moment, the one thing I really need is the ability to connect three screens.

However, since I also use the same screens on another machine, I need to plan the cables first. This is a puzzle in itself, especially given that there are already five screens in total and three systems in place 😇

I’ve lived a long time, and installed a lot of screen protectors on my phone. I’ve followed the instructions to the letter, but have never installed one without at least two permanent air bubbles no matter how careful I was, nor how much I rubbed.

Can’t tell if I’m sick, or feeling the effects of a sleepless night, or had a sleepless night because I’m sick. #ModernProblems

Ah yes, the modern age where you'd never consider downloading an ad, but blocking one? That's just common sense! 😂 Meanwhile, GitHub's throwing at your code like a spaghetti test, while your ad blocker keeps those pesky pop-ups at bay. 🚫🍝

Modern society doesn’t understand my need to dedicate myself entirely to my artistry and spend all day sitting in a Parisian café scribbling away and drinking absinthe.

What do you mean I have to work and pay taxes?

Putting back a washed rug under a computer desk.

Option A: undo all wiring, move the desk.

Option B: Crawl under the desk and lift it with your neck.

Option B it is.

Well, that's new...

My musical choices on youtube just triggered it's suicide prevention splash page and a "You are NOT alone" banner on the subsequent content pages.

Now I feel like I've alarmed someone unnecessarily and have an overwhelming urge to explain that I'm not feeling suicidal, I just like quiet, pensive music. 😬

I suppose I should also thank them for making me experience teen-panic one more time in my life.
