What the hell am I doing here?

I don’t belong here

Duolingo is the only exception.

I think today marks the anniversary of a coup led by Augusto Pinochet to overthrow the democratically elected Chilean government led by Salvador Allende, who was the first Marxist to be elected president in a Latin American democracy. The CIA investigated itself using declassified documents and determined no wrongdoing. Just that it “appeared to condone” the coup, but found “no evidence” of any participation, which means the United States definitely participated to some extent in the rise to power of a ruthless autocrat who disappeared or executed thousands of people and interred and tortured tens of thousands more over nearly two decades.

Or something like that.

iirc, PlayStations in Japan flip the functions of X and Circle around. Circle is generally an “accept” button while X is generally a “back/cancel” button. Now I heard this many years ago so it may not be true anymore.

I think it makes sense when you consider where A and B are on the SNES controller. And it also makes sense for them to have moved back to the right face button (in the US) when you consider the Xbox 360 released a year prior to the PS3 and was kind of a runaway success.

Maybe the real Hidden Valley was the subdermal implants we made along the way.

Help! My flesh has fallen off, and I can’t pick it up!

Quit squaking, flesh wad. Nobody’s forcing you to buy anything.

Amongst my siblings, none of us is shorter than 5’10. My sister is dating a man who is 5’6. They’re so cute together, but I felt so bad when I first met the guy because I wasn’t expecting him to be that short. So I opened the door and looked right over the poor fella.

Hahaha I wish I had friends who loved me this much.

Disney knows that part of the contract is unenforceable; they’re just daring someone to try and outspend them on legal fees and court costs. Everyone knows US courts are pretty light handed on fining corpos. Whatever costs the mouse incurs, they’ll make it up in at most a few days.

What if I told you it’s also humid as f?

I was cutting my grass a few weekends ago. 97°F and steamy. I was out there 30 minutes before I had to call it quits because I was feeling lightheaded.

Oklahoma. We get years where it’s toasty. And then we get years like this one where it’s roasty.

The roasty years seem more frequent as of late. Crazy, that.

Anyway, here’s to hoping that 44 is wrong lmao National Weather Service is giving us 37-40 all this week so that won’t be quite so bad.

Same. I’m definitely not getting any outdoor work done this weekend.

34° today and 38° tomorrow. Then this bullshit. 🫠

Neu!

India became the world’s most populous country last April. I didn’t even know that.

My sister and her boyfriend pay $1,400 a month to live in an 850 square foot, two bedroom house. Together, they earn ~$27 an hour and work part-time. I imagine they don’t crack $50k a year combined.

When I moved in with my girlfriend (now wife) in the Fall of '16, we earned about $64k a year combined (roughly $83k in 2024 dollars). Rent was $800, car payment was $325, and we were each carrying about $3k in credit card debt. And we were struggling to make ends meet. What with the cost of groceries these days, I don’t know how my sister is keeping her nose above water at all.

And Garfield.

But you can do jiu jitsu.

Same with the Germans. They really love their flag. I think the only group of people I’ve seen come close to it is Marylanders.
