I remember watching the Obama v. Romney debates and thinking “wow, this Mitt guy is insane. Surely no one could be more insane than him.” Now we tucker carlson calling trump “daddy” who’s going to “give a vigorous spanking to naughty girls”

Having been told several times now that I must download an app to pay for parking downtown, I have come to the conclusion that we should form an angry mob and storm Silicon Valley like the castle at the end of an old monster movie.

Do you ever feel like everything moves too fast? Where did my weekend go? Why is everything dirty again? I already ate today and now I have to make food again? I know the world is not built for people like you or me, but I still wish everything would slow down. I'm so tired.

The link is simultaneously not disappointing and very disappointing.

Honestly, society has lost something big when they started putting ads on “Never Gonna Give You Up”. It used to be you clicked a link, and you heard that synth music and you just groaned. Nowadays, you see a link, go, “that might be Rick Astley”, then you click it, Youtube plays an ad for dog food and you see below that is indeed Rick Astley. You go, “ah, yes, that was indeed a link to that music video. Do I feel like watching the video today or not? Probably  not, but I have the entire ad time to decide”. It’s essentially a global “do you really want to get Rickrolled?” filter.

This is really one of the best and most important reasons for using an adblocker: So you can get the proper rickroll experience. Here are some good ones for your platform.

Bwuh my printer scanner is now functionally only a scanner…. And it happened right when I wanted to print a large enough document that I don’t want to print it at work bc my boss is bad at getting toner refills. I’m not gonna be the guy who kills the toner

Guess I get to navigate the current hellscape that is printer shopping, while trying not to get stuck with subscription based ink refills… I REALLY don’t use the printer parts that often but it’s so annoying not to have one. And I’m too poor to waste extra money on a subscription for PRINTER INK

i’ve had my tv for five years and it’s always just stayed on the home screen if you don’t do anything but all of a sudden now it’s making me watch antiques roadshow
