I love backing into parking spots! It’s so much easier than just driving forward into it because I get to properly line my car up with the lines. Unless there’s a lot of traffic that I’d hold up, I’ll always reverse into spots.

it only makes sense if you add “never” in front of it. Never enough :3

Wow, the X220t is a thick boi! I tend to agree that weight is a far more important factor than size. Carrying my old laptop around was a pain, I think it weighed around 2.5kg, maybe a bit more? Upgrading to a T480 felt insane. At the same time, I kind of get wanting a slim device. It’s easier to fit them in a backpack (even with a protective case), and I’m glad my phone is relatively slim (8mm) because its case makes it significantly thicker. But yeah, this obsession with making things as thin as possible feels weird, especially because smartphones are now thin but have massive camera lenses that stick out

You know what, that’s a good point. Some people genuinely don’t need an ethernet port and prefer a slightly thinner device that fits in their bag a little easier. I guess what I’m “upset” about is that it’s becoming the default or even the only available option. And removing ports even though they could fit without making the device thicker is incredibly annoying, I agree

That’s true, and something I’ve noticed, too. I just never connected the two things. Especially branded peripherals can be super expensive.

I hate it when manufacturers remove useful stuff to make laptops as flat as possible. Sure, some things disappear because time moves on, like CD drives, but WHY do I need to buy an extension cord to connect my laptop to an ethernet cable? It’s not just Apple, even a lot of Thinkpads lack a proper RJ45 port these days

If you just wait a few minutes, I’ll probably stop without even noticing it myself. But if you tell me to stop, you’ll make an enemy for life >:c

Oh, that’s some beautiful texture! I definitely wants these pawbs in my generic texture WAD, whatever that is :3

Apples are usually cheaper than insurance and also far more nutritious

It’s not just money because, like the title says, you also have to feel safe when you go out (and for me, mental health issues are also a big difficulty), but having fun often costs money. Sure, you can just go on a walk and that’s free, but so many activities cost money. All the posted jobs I see that I’m qualified for are full-time, but I can’t work full-time. So I have very little money to do fun stuff, and buying a tub of ice cream is a treat :c

I’m totally not a furry, but if I was, I’d be the cutest little fluffball there ever was, with perfect beans and soft pawbs and the most boopable snoot uwu

Did you know that the weights on those bars are detachable? If you remove them, it’ll become even easier to get the bars off the ground!

I don’t want to sleep with a fan, I want to commit undefined crimes that will bring financial and other harm to the people responsible for climate change

It is so unfair that sleeping too much can make you eepy again! I’d love to nap, but then my body would hate me for sleeping too much >:c

What do you mean, this is literally the dream and I would give everything up to have it qwq

If only I could look this cute while going insane :3

Shibari is cool. Bondage by itself is a lot of fun, but sometimes, adding that bit of fanciness takes it to another level

I don’t know. Sometimes, I get rejections in no time, but there are also times when it takes a week or two. The former sounds like an automated process, the latter like a person looking through applications. But one place once sent me a rejection after a week and they sent it on a public holiday, when hiring managers aren’t supposed to be on the clock. So they either worked off the clock or just delayed the automatic response to make it look realistic.

But that doesn’t change much about my statement, I think. If you use software that’s so prone to errors (how is it supposed to detect transferable or equivalent skills if the person setting it up can’t do that either?), that doesn’t shine a good light on you. And on the rare occasions that I got past that initial screening and talked to someone from the hiring team, they usually had no idea what the job was about, either. One of them even had a couple of technical questions the team leader gave her that she was supposed to ask me.

I don’t know if this gets even close to a luke-warm take, but the more time I spend trying to find a job, the more I dislike the concept of hiring managers. Oh, you’re looking for someone to do a job? Let’s ask this person who knows nothing about that job to find a good candidate. The number of hiring managers who are completely clueless and straight-up incompetent is frightening (and don’t even get me started on their apparent lack of class consciousness)

I’d maybe call that meaningful interaction with others, and games make that easier to achieve than it is in real life. It’s not as significant of an interaction as many irl interactions, but feeling that bond with another person for just a second is a pretty cool feeling.
