I don’t think I’m on the spectrum, but maybe?

Anyway, for the past four years or so, I’ve been eating nearly the same meals every day, and I’m fine with it. I know exactly what I’ll buy for the week’s groceries, and I waste zero food. My trip to the grocery store takes just over one hour every Sunday morning, including driving time. I take the same path through the store, and grab the same items off the shelves each time, and the store is practically empty at that time, so I just slow down to grab the item. However, on the rare occasion I decide to change an ingredient, I can spend a long time trying to decide on a replacement.

Last year, I wanted to stop using packaged picante sauce, which I used for eggs, and as a replacement for ranch salad dressing for about a year previous. The packaged has too much salt, also I’ve been reducing the processed foods I buy. First, I looked for one that had lower salt, and the few they had were too expensive. So, I decided to try to make my own. That meant I had to buy several ingredients I didn’t before. I did it for about six months, but really didn’t like it, and it was more work every Sunday after I got home from shopping. So, instead, I just dropped it altogether. That meant I dropped the salad with chicken, because I couldn’t find a suitable dressing replacement with low salt. So, now I’m down to my hot meal with chicken and vegetables all the time. I thought it would be rough having the hot meal during the summer, but I did it all last summer and it was fine. Also, it’s one less aisle I go down during shopping.

They’re being much more serious about this than when it was “just” about kids. I suppose threatening money and power is what gets you arrested. Similar to the way Epstein was arrested and then murdered by Trump’s order.

If they’re not in my very short contact list, it goes to voicemail. Isn’t that how everyone does it?

It’s not like anyone calls me anymore, anyway. Any.

If everyone is special, then no one is.

A rainbow is a participation award.

I’ll take getting older over the alternative every time.

I’m not happy I’m sixty. But, I am happy I’m not dead.

Slightly better than fascist is a very low bar, and most of them aren’t clearing it.

In the U.S., stand with your back to the hinge side of the door, and swing your arm as if it is a door to determine a “right-hand swing” door from a left-hand swing. The picture shows a right-hand swing door.

This makes sense to me. But, because humans, in Europe, you stand on the latch side. So, U.S. and European designations for door swing are opposite each other.

I know this is a shitpost, but really we should highlight what little good news we can find these days. Alcohol and other drug use among kids has been steadily dropping since 1980.

I’m guessing this isn’t taught in public school anymore? Maybe it’s covered in one 40 minute class while all the kids are looking at their phones and eating?

Yeah, we’re cooked.

I’m sixty and haven’t had this yet. But, then, I don’t talk to anyone, either, so…

You can twist knobs on a guitar, but you can’t make it drink.

Oh! Right. It’s Valentine’s Day.

I currently have no reason to track that, and probably won’t for the foreseeable future.

Twenty-plus years ago, when laser eye surgery was new, I thought for a minute about getting it. Then I thought, we’re not going to really know the long-term effects until a long term has passed, and people getting it today might regret doing this as they get older. So, I didn’t get it.

I’m not saying I was right, I’m saying that at any given point in time, I cannot predict the future, and that I’ve been happy enough wearing glasses. Especially that time my glasses saved me from losing an eye, and probably kept crap from flying into my eyes more times than I have even noticed.

I’d halve the chicken, skip the bread, and add a bunch of vegetables, and some cheese, but yeah. In fact, that is pretty much what I eat as my main meal at lunchtime every day.

“One point twenty-one jiggawatts?!”

Ublock has always just worked for me? I mean, a couple of times YouTube did a thing, but then a day, or an hour later, Ublock fixed it. I’m referring to YouTube only.

Also, I run NoScript and choose whether I’m willing to allow a site to show me an ad, and slurp my data, in exchange for whatever is on the site that I think I want. Often, I get tired of allowing scripts one at a time until the content appears, and just close the site. Rarely, I’ll bite the bullet and allow all, then go and wash my hands afterward.

Fewer than ten sites make up more than 90% of my viewing.

A bit over 3000 billionaires, and many more with hundreds of millions. But, yeah, this is the jist of it at the moment. We’ve agreed to work all of our lives to support them abusing us.

Does it have an owie?
