  • Oh, reading a manual is a very involved process for me. First, I’ll put the task in my bullet journal, then I’ll postpone it to the next week, then to the month, then to the next month. And then, if I feel lucky, I’ll bring it back into my daily log, and postpone it a few more days before getting annoyed with writing it down so many times that it could fill a full page, and finally reading it.


  • All those safety warnings are useless nonsense, until:

    This vacuum is not water resistant and no part of it shall come into contact with water. Do not operate this vacuum on wet floors.

    Wash the infuser with water or coffee machine cleaning powder only. Do not wash with soap. Every 6 months, relubricate the seals with food and water safe silicone grease certified with NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF/ANSI 51.

    Well, good to know.


  • Yup.

    What even is your problem that you’ll get worked up enough to spend energy spreading misery over some tiny annoyance from some internet stranger? Do you get pleasure out of that? If so, for shame.

    When I get annoyed by some internet stranger’s conduct online, I don’t engage. I disengage. Life’s too short to get worked up over the little things I find, and we’ll all feel better when we don’t engage in that negativity.

    Yes, I’ve blocked people without ever saying a single word. Sometimes while lurking, I’ll find some conduct (not beliefs, conduct) that I disagree with. I don’t then go on and admonish them, I make them “disappear” from my life, then go on thinking about what I should eat for dinner.











  • Remind me not to go to the US anytime soon. Such a lack of checks and balances against an administration hell bent on arbitrarily seriously injuring swaths of people on a whim is rather concerning. It wouldn’t be impossible for me at this point to arbitrarily be deported into some random despot country were I ever to try to visit, even if I didn’t do anything illegal, and have all my paperwork in order. That is very concerning.

    The rule of law is there to protect as much as it is to assert control. What the supreme court is doing here, even if not in technically, would be approximating forgoing the rule of law entirely.
