I just straight up walked out of a medical appointment. Stopped speaking when it was clear I was not being respected and that I was not being allowed to correct inaccurate information. Got up and walked out with her yelling through the building after me.

Like that was a miserable experience but on the other hand the power I felt???? Untouchable. Did you know you can just leave?? Happy Pride Month my friends!!!

Seems kinda weird that Linux Mint doesn’t remember my laptops screen brightness between boots.

Nikkki Haley and all the other Republicans will still be supporting the GOP nominee because the fossil fuel industry is paying them to do that.

I think that should be enough reason for everyone to stop attacking Democrats, but regrettably mine seems to be a minority opinion sadly so I'm nervous as hell about elections this year still sadly.

If you were a young child in the late 70's early 80's, the loyalty to the brand was a heated debate on the playground.

Which did you choose?

I shouldn’t be this awake.

Just saw an interesting post by someone missing the simplicity of their childhood. I know that most people wear rose coloured glasses when they’re feeling nostalgic, but I wonder how many autistic people read such posts & think, “No way!”?

I had lots of fun & interesting times during my childhood & adolescence, but there was also so much complexity, confusion & distress. Learning to mask made it easier. I could at least pretend to understand what was going on & therefore attract less negative attention.

Considering starting a retirement village filled with old punks.

Gonna call it "Fuck You Village"

The more I read about what Microsoft is doing, the more I'm glad I switched back to Linux this week.

It's so Minty!

I never thought I could hate something as much as I hate lactose at this moment. 🧻

How in the fuck did I go from...

"10 pm is the end of the day"

to

"4 pm? Where's dinner? I need to be in bed watching my stories by 6!"

If you don't use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.

They are not wrong.

To mend your machine:

1. Ditch Windows
2. Install Plasma
3. Your computer is ready.

I’m still not convinced any of you are real.

Omg just say what you wanted to say and get it over with.

Hmm, maybe the yacht was emitting some sound (perhaps inaudible to humans) that was really irritating to the orcas?

My two siblings and I disagree on how to treat a family member who is a MAGA Trumper:

Sister: "He's family, we need to respect that."

Brother: "I'm going to keep trying to point out the bad things he supports and try to change his mind."

Me: "Fuck that guy, he's a fascist and I want nothing to do with him. He should be ostracized."

I'm still not totally sure which approach is the best but I know where I stand.

I still think that "Stack Overflow" sounds like what happens when you poop too much before flushing.

Look I do think it's worth mentioning that the Moon is drifting away from the Earth 3.8cm each year and that this just so happens to be around about the amount our fingernails grow in the same period.
