So my Dell needs to go in for diagnostics and full repair, but my only other semi-functioning computer has lost the backlight to the screen. As a result, I am writing this with my little hp stream hooked up with an hdmi cable to my tv screen, because the cost of fixing the dang thing is more than I paid for it.

is this supposed to be a solution to my problem?
'hey, you know that app you use a lot? it's not working good 🫤 I dunno, you should probably stop using it'
what ever happened to troubleshooting?

I've been on vacation somewhere that has no wifi the past few days (never bothered to say cause I don't need to post my whole life) and I gotta say I hate how I plan my video games to not need wifi while I'm here and then get hit with "you need wifi to update your switch or you can't play any games! You can't update later and just play now update first"
Like I'm sorry but is the update so important I can't play a port of the first Monster Rancher, a game with no internet at all from the PS1

I really really love that when Atem first gets to Memory World, he still only has the thoughts and personality of a modern teenager. he's been told over and over again that he's a pharaoh and he's still blown away that everyone is calling him and treating him as such. I love that he's immediately like "what the fuck am I wearing?" and very much NOT going "Yes this finally feels right." that he's "Erm--" and "uh--" -ing all over the place.

that is the face of a man who just realized how much he's taken air conditioning and boxer briefs for granted up till now

Man I just finished Babel and I was excited to read discussions online because there's so much going on in it with so many little things and just....angry white people. Everywhere. Truly a dead dove moment.
#the “you can't trust white people” theme might be a little like...aggressive but gosh you are not wrong#rf kuang#it was such a good depiction imo#it felt so much like explaining to white (or sometimes black) people what the problem is#especially felt like explaining being queer to straight people#i feel like a lot of people have at least a vague intellectual understanding of racism even if they don't see the racism#babel an arcane history#babel or the necessity of violence#also she captured a fair bit of mixed race and chinese diaspora feelings#also also i can see the relationship to the secret history and the fact that this is a rebuttal of dark academia while being dark academia#also realizing i dislike dark academia tbh#just...the ye olde university feeling is not my style#hence i went to engineering school where it had a je ne sais quois that i think is widespread neurodivergence#the good old boys clubs just do not interest me and i cannot really care about their lifestyles#it's not bad mind you it's just not for me#babel however is the exception that made me realize i dislike dark academia#hated the cloisters#got a rec for the secret history and had negative interest in that#i really want more and better depictions of engineering school and like...any similar experiences to what i had#they just do things like the social network where it's still a rich kid good old boys club but now with “nerds” who are just business majors#like the big tech guys of the modern era are primarily business guys not like...building computers in their basement#give me aome barely functional people who lean heavily into being weird once they go to school and they have hijinks like#updating archlinux and giving the other people shots if you get xyz system working again#first to get x11 back? REST OF YOU SHOTS. first to get internet back? SHOTS. sound? SHOTS. window manager? SHOTS.#or like...drama over your roommate not knowing how to do basic adult things like boil water or do laundry

From the description of Sherlock Holmes and the Poison Wood:
"Delving into the details, Sherlock suspects that arch-nemesis, tech billionaire and international potato magnate Jan Moriarty is at the root of the case, but the game’s afoot and they must move fast to uncover the truth and foil her plans."
What on earth is an "international potato magnate"?

my phone has been acting up recently and after looking at potential phones I could get to replace it I decided to take this as an opportunity to save money and really commit to my minimal phone use and simply use it so little the bugs don't even come up. I decided this was the universe helping me out. living it up like it's 2006 babey
