Wherever I see a skeet where the poster is talking about the stuff they have been posting on X I wonder what drives how they decide which network to post on. Put all the racial ‘theories’ on X and come here to pursue online morality scolds?

Stupid iOS update made it so my ipad doesn’t do volume below 10% any more. Used to be able to manually set very low volume with the slider but now it’s silent until i get to 10% which is much louder that I want for the stupid screen i have next to bed. Every update i like my apple products less.

Trumps gone full circle on the value of a birth certificate over these past 18 years

Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."

Got a “fuck you, bastard” from the homeless guy I’ve given food/money to a few times previously cause I said I couldn’t help him out right then since I was in the middle of doing my português review when he hit me up.

What’s the moment you internally decided “this is me becoming an adult?” For me it’s the first time i bought toilet paper at the supermarket rather than just stealing rolls from my place of employment.

I promised myself I wouldn't feel hope again this season but somehow I let it into my heart again. Of course, I've been a Nebraska fan long enough to know that this is when I should expect to be hurt again. Go big red

Apparently my home nation has decided it wants to get into the business of live-streaming executions. Depravity on the level of ISIS Every day I am a bit more glad that I left when I did. Watching the absolute repugnance on display, I am glad I’m not raising my kids in that environment any longer.

My kid got phished today and they stole his Microsoft account which is his Minecraft account. I know it's not real but it's an absolutely seriously traumatic event for him. MS support to get an account back is essentially non-existant. I am livid how much money they took to gave no customer service

Let’s say you’ve been working at the FBI for years and all the sudden your boss said that the organization requires lowering standards so that they can finally hire people who have been convicted of fucking dogs… would you want to remain employed there?

I’d spent so long calling them amoral pigfuckers not realizing it was literally true.

PATEL: The previous regulation automatically disqualified any individual who participated in either side of it KENNEDY: Either side of beastiality? So you disqualified the animal? P: Well, we have great canines, but we're not going to disqualify them K: I'm trying to understand why you did this.

Since the football season started again I was watching some American tv and learned Arby’s is offering a product called steak nuggets!?! Called shot by Griffin McElroy on that one I guess. That said, trachea sized pieces of Arby’s grade steak seems like a massive choking hazard.

actually own, rank them in order of what item they think is just the best item in their opinion. I kinda doubt Gregory truly wants to own the giant monkey head or the armband but I am not in his head and can’t say he’s wrong there. But of the items he doesn’t want to own there’s no way those rank

Living in the algarve is great. Love the beaches, the natural beauty, the food… I do wish there were fewer rich white ladies who make their life here about selling a gweneth paltrow-ian view of wellness. Can’t go five minutes without someone asking for €30 to do healing yoga with them in a park

Ugh, my airpod case is SOMEWHERE in this house but I can't find it. I've Find My'ed it 100s of times but my phone can't connect when I do that. But every now and then I open my phone and it'll be like "Hey we connected to the case like 20 minutes ago but didn't wanna say anything then, good luck!"

Got booted from the local FB group within a week. Some old man replied to a request for a local moving company by saying the lady came off "rude and arrogant" for not ending request with please. I suggested that he himself could come off that way for chastising a stranger. Alas, old men run facebook

This is the first time I’ve seen an article referring to shotguns loaded with bird shot as “pellet guns.” Usually, when people talk about pellet guns they are referring to the much, much less deadly airsoft guns. Seems like the BBC is making this behavior seem less egregious with this word choice.

My Apple Watch keeps trying to call emergency services every 5-10 seconds and won’t stop. Been 5 years of it being central to my personal fitness and activity but I am in no mood to give Apple any money. Guess it’s the end of the road

It’s weird that if you need glasses you see something 5 feet away from you you need a doctor appointment, a prescription, and lenses measured to your pupils. If you need glasses to read something 2 feet away you can just grab whatever feels right off a rack in the back of an Aldi.

Some things here in Portugal are so different than my experience in the states. My daughter’s handball league has all participants do a medical exam annually. They brought in a doctor to do the exams and assigned the players time to come in. She got a full exam, inc. an ECG for less than 15 dollars.

We’re in the last day of a family holiday to Porto. It’s been a lovely time. We had great fun, exceptional food, lots of interesting cultural exploration. Kinda wish we hadn’t spent quite as much money though as the kids highlight from the trip was that I let them have the tiniest sip of Super Bock.

Doing a long weekend in Porto. It’s been an exceptional time. Amazing food, beautiful buildings everywhere, charming and friendly people abound. The one meh part was Livaria Lello which was nice but I definitely got my wallet inspected in exchange to see some (admittedly) cool stairs.
