Thankfully, I've never imagined gaining anything from my mom when she passes some day. Thankfully her parents set up a trust so she isn't homeless, but when she finally gives in to assisted living, those bills will eat whatever is left.

She's always like, "but I'm leaving you the house!"

The house is full of worthless collectibles and smells terrible after decades of floods and cats. If she got hit by a bus tomorrow I'd probably sell it to one of those seedy We Buy Ugly Houses companies.

Finally, Peewees Playhouse has found open source representation.

It is common for people to vote Mickey Mouse as a write in for voters that are unhappy with the names on the ballot. Sometimes a humorous Write In gets a decent chunk of the vote.

Bep bup! German Bot here!

"Das ist richtig" means "That is true"

Like and follow this bot so its creator may someday claw themselves out of the joyless pit they have dug themselves.

It looks exactly like a 'rad car' that I doodled in my social studies notebook after slamming two bottles of Robitussin.

Somehow I'm getting two-three texts every day from this scumbag, though I've never voted conservative or signed any conservative petitions.

Different number every time, so I can't block them.

Help.

I'll be a rare beacon for somewhat positive home schooling. At least when I started it in the late 90s. Graduated highschool in 2000.

Yeah, there is a fair amount of religious nut jobs/conservatives when you get out in bufu, but my group was mostly kids with hippie parents and kids with learning disabilities that would have never thrived in public school.

Maybe our group was more social than some of these extremist religious groups, because I had plenty of friends and social interaction. Homeschool isn't always kids being locked away from society by crazy parents, sometimes it is the last option of a misfit child that would fail to thrive if forced into the mould of a model student.

The main thing that I missed out on, by not going to high school proper, was getting regularly bullied and the stress of having to hurry to the bus every morning. If homeschooling hadn't been an option I'd of just been a drop out.

I suppose a number of people would still consider me a drop out because I wasn't forced to suffer as they did.

Edit: I'll add that my group were mostly naturalist/scientist in learning. As far as I know there weren't any flat-earthers/creationists. Maybe I was lucky because of my geographic location.

Maybe things are different now, but that's how it was for me back in the 90s/2000s.

My last office job was QA at a game studio. They kept our whole team in a stuffy windowless room full of partitions. Three screens took up the one desk that was only a bit wider than your chair.

When feeding time happened you could hear everyone's lips smacking.

I would have killed for a cubicle like this.

The devs out in the civilized part of the office had open plan, but they had L desks and 4-6 screens. Some had mini fridges and drawers.

I played Phantasmagoria 2 and knew it was supposed to take place in a brutally oppressive corporate hellscape, but each characters cubicle seemed expansive and cozy.

Look at the king of England over here with a pillow and a double wide mattress!

I paid for an argument, this is just contradiction!

Am I the only one that misses a thick bezel?

Imagine being a five year old and being forced to film an unboxing vid whenever you got a toy in the mail.

Imagine becoming popular online at 6 and the toys start coming in the mail so fast you can't even play with them, there is always more unboxing to do.

Imagine being 14, and everytime you tripped, sneezed, misspoke, cried was documented and shared across a dozen networks.
