The back fell off.

Just make it quick, the bleeding is… pretty bad.

I’m pretty sure my baseline cortisol levels could kill a small animal. And probably shortened my lifespan by a few years.

My AuDHD is flavored by several varieties of anxiety and crippling depression, the former undiagnosed for most of my life and the latter two only being treated sporadically. I’ve had my episodes of shining in times of chaos (usually at work) but my brain’s go-to response is freeze.

It’s not very effective.

Hard to avoid the local cable monopoly for internet.

Gonna need some citations for that.

Not to mention is mother.

I just use “spouse” most of the time. We’re not married. Fucks given: 0

I’ve been trying to talk my spouse into watching that one for years. She refuses. Sigh.

I picked the wrong week to stop huffing hairspray.

Once upon a time, nobody could ever need more than 640kB of RAM. Every “hardware ceiling” ends up being a temporary plateau. How long that plateau lasts is anyone’s guess. They’ll chase “content” for awhile, and then some form of content will demand more power for something either new or evolved, and it’ll be back to hardware races.

Either way, as long as a market exists for dedicated gaming consoles (hi, I’m that market, zero desire to maintain a PC after 25 years in IT) they’ll stick around.

Agreed. Anyone with half a brain knows that it’s going to be Canada that takes us into WW3. With the world distracted by all of the other hostile land grabs, Canada will seize the initiative and take Greenland since it’s likely to live up to its namesake soon. This will set off Britain’s alarm bells, and they’ll take Iceland as a hedge against Canuck imperialism. And once Britain is distracted enough, Argentina will be all, “fucking finally” and take the Falklands. Never one to miss an opportunity for oil, the US will decide to preemptively seize Antarctica before the Argentines can expand further… just in time for a few ice shelves to break off and become free-floating. And while the sacrifice of Florida, the Mississippi Delta, and about half of New Jersey will be deemed worth it from the US perspective, the sea level rise will make the previous fighting over islands seem pointless.

All of this is ,of course, contingent on no one being idiotic/spiteful/ignorantly self-righteous enough to launch a nuke. That changes the calculus enough that no mere shitposter doing a prolonged ass-pull could realistically predict beyond “so much for mutually assured destruction.”

Good job Newsweek, always on the ball.

This is going to give my Trump-loving prepper brother in law an aneurysm.

Doubtful. Dude ain’t got no ups.

Where do pieces end and particles begin?

I can’t stand the thought of selling myself every few years to job hop, let alone having to do it every day trying to monetize one of the few things left that I enjoy. When I was coming out of high school I entertained the thought of running my own PC/electronics repair business. It took maybe two months as a field service tech to put those thoughts away for good.
