It gets worse. Visiting a friend recently, they tried to give me an old Kindle, (which I politely declined). They have a drawer of about 6 old ones because they can’t help buying the latest every sale. They don’t even read that much!!
My cat is adorable, but if she doesn’t know you she WILL cut a bish. We warn everyone who comes in, but the number of times we’ve had to intervene when a landlord’s agent, repairperson, etc was convinced they’d be the first stranger she liked… Look, but do NOT touch.
Different but related, I downloaded Gboard to my phone, but mostly use it when I’m practicing on Duolingo… I’ve been getting ads en Espanol. Success!
I just wanna give you a huge hug of support. I’m in the 100lb club too (and still well overweight personally) and so much of what you said is very familiar. Thank you for saying what I wanted to say better than I could say it.
I also don’t know why I grew up in the midwest, but I generally regret it.
(We called it toad in a hole, sausage in croissant dough was pigs in a blanket).
That’s why I always introduce a good bit of entropy to my shopping patterns:
-Enter and go straight to produce
-Spend 20 minutes examining eggplants
-Walk up and down 5 aisles pausing exactly the square of the aisle number in seconds.
-Grab a box of tampons
-Grab what I need as quickly as possible
-Return tampons
-Checkout and leave
Somewhere a marketing team is spending hours trying to figure out how to improve the conversion rates for tampons and eggplants for customers in my demo.
Addendum:
Chirp-chirp-chirp. Pleasing to the ears, but clearly signifies your cat’s desire to murder. 6/10
Hork hork hork. Grab some paper towels, you get to clean up a hairball. Maybe it won’t be on your shoes this time. 0/10
Mini-blep is still blep. Blep is love. All hail Chico blep.
Wow, well said. I wonder if the arguement that “working in the office is important so that younger/newer employees can recieve mentorship” is just a theme and variation on the same thinking.
As a fat guy… I can relate.
More eggy seafood* pancake, but it’s amazing.
*Seafood is one filling option, but also the best option
I miss the era of freeware and demos. Give me a taste with no strings attached and you are far more likely to get my money at some point.
Honestly it’s all sorts of wrong especially these days, but I’ve played through the whole thing 3 or 4 times. Surprisingly fun gameplay and enough easter eggs to be interesting on replay.
Fig is smarter than you think. You see, he spends considerable effort rubbing his scent onto you, and then, as the stupid big cat you are, you wash it all off when you go into the water, dummy. So now, with this ingenious invention, you will be rescented as soon as you dry off… You’re Welcome.
My thoughts exactly, someone feed that void!!
