I'm fine with bugs that don't bother me. Around my house, I've got a ton of red paper wasps. They're assholes. My mere existence makes me a threat worth stinging. Same for the rest of my family. They can go fuck themselves.

How many times are they going to try this shit?

Science is blue (dark blue, if given the option).

Math is red or black.

English is green.

Social studies is yellow.

Everything else goes in whatever is left.

House centipede. It may, possibly, be hellspawn.

Most people are inherently biased towards their chosen system. A "water scale" doesn't make sense to fahrenheit users, and a "human scale" is dismissed as even existing by the Celsius users. But hey, if you want to fight, have at it. It's annoying and pointless, but that's what the internet is for.

I've felt like this after diving into a flower, too

Oh good, I'm better than the average man in something.

He's a man-child billionaire with a fragile ego. He takes credit for the accomplishments of others, while his contributions often do more harm than good. He's like an inept comic book villain, only there for comic relief.

I mean, I'm not, but only because I am too lazy to change (so far). I've been remarkably content with the Steam Deck desktop experience, so I'm leaning more and more towards Linux.

It's easier for people who don't know what they're doing. The limitations keep those users from breaking things and provide a decent out-of-the-box experience for the user. The very same limitations feel, well, limiting to users like you.

Of course this would be how my town makes the news...

That's about right, yeah. Please don't mock us. 🥺

Yeah, that's a hard pass from me.

Are netbooks making a comeback?

I recently listened to some songs I liked as a teenager, but I actually paid attention to the lyrics. Holy shit, some of those songs were dark.

First, I would find out who I need to pay to find people for jobs I need done. I hate dealing with people. Also, I suck at knowing who to call.

Then, I would get someone to rebuild my house, better, stronger, faster. My house is nice, but it has some major issues. Mold problems I can't fix. Lousy insulation. Floors that let us hear everything going on between levels. A ridiculously small master bathroom.

More importantly, I would pay for a better education for my kids. I homeschool for various reasons (via videos and on a curriculum), and while their education is solid enough, my daughter could use someone better than myself for subjects where she struggles.

Once everything is set up with a lawyer, I would set aside money for close family members.

Oh, and I would hire a maid and a chef for my house. I like cooking, but I also like not needing to cook. And who enjoys cleaning?

My wife would surely either pay for landscaping for our yard, or she would buy a boatload of plants and do it herself. Probably somewhere in between; we've got a rocky yard that no amount of personal labor will make manageable, but I think she enjoys the planting.

Can we just get some real public transportation options in the USA? I've visited Washington D.C., Boston, and New York City recently, and I'm in love with the subway (etc). Where I live would still require a car, but afaik, none of the major cities around me have anything more than a lackluster bus system.

My anxiety ridden ass loves Amazon. My house is in a private enough area that I've never had a package stolen, but I live near a distribution center, so I can often get same-day delivery.

I was COVID-free until the end of July. I've now had it twice.
