I am autistic and I can understand it. When stressed, autistic people can exhibit disordered thinking or just naturally pick up on relationships and patterns that neurotypical people do not. We can also have the appearance of unpredictable volatility when facing things like burnout or abuse.

Especially in an era where mental health treatment was really just sending you you to a prison.

Let’s see, and who was Hyundai’s main competitor at assembling EV batteries in the US? 🤔

Nah, as someone who gave an honest, college try at making use of OneDrive, I maintain its fate vis a vie the rusty hook.

“Windows meme makers, can you go five seconds without revealing your appalling lack of technical curiosity?”

Windows Meme Makers: “The C drive! … How long was that?”

A paycheck is a paycheck. Lots of us exchange our ego for daily bread — we have a club and everything. We meet every day after work at your local bar.

Oh yeah. Don’t you guys also do murder scene remediation?

“Computer, fix this code and don’t make mistakes.”

Yeah, but if I tax trillionaires, what happens when I myself become a trillionaire?!

This is something that, of all people, Ivanka Trump has kvetched about in private — her infamy, her dad’s infamy, her company’s infamy, her wealth’s infamy, and not to mention, her husband’s infamy — has essentially procluded them from any social circles in NYC. They reportedly left politics because every single one of their friends would refuse to engage with them anymore.

One simple thing that brings me joy in a dark world is that Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump can’t make a single friend.

My problem is that I only want striped tree squirrels to munch on my junk. Any suggestions?

In the way humanity can study the structure of the brain despite being inside one, consciousness is just the means by which the Universe discovers itself. Or something, I don’t know, I’m high.

if you ask me, mushrooms are a bullshit double standard. THEY get to show their genitals to passing hikers in the state park, but when I do it, suddenly everyone gets real prudish? What’s THAT about?

I am a professional designer with two decades of experience and I gotta admit, you’re smoking crack if you think GIMP (the project that is almost entirely held back by its stupid name) is superior to Photoshop.

It might be able to get the job done for small tasks, but it is not a serious tool for serious people. I’m sorry. I’m as pro-FLOSS as anyone can get, and even I recognize that right now there’s just no competition in the design department. Affinity is Mac-only, and comes with its own problematic aspects.

AI photography is so stupid. That target’s got legs. Handsome ones, too.

Fair enough. 👌

I respect that, but I built my own Tiny11 iso. You can do so as well here: https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder

Folks gotta give me a little benefit of the doubt. I’m not raw-doggin’ the modern Windows experience here.

Good looking out, I’ll check it out.

I’m really not far off. Once my Tiny11 install breaks, it’s on to Bazzite.

hey all. i just wanted to drop in and say hello. i moved my account from Beehaw to my own self-hosted, single-user PieFed instance, but, i wanted to say how much i appreciate beehaw, it’s a real oasis on the fedi, still.

That, and, y’know, actually showing up for each other instead of relentlessly torturing other men for having the gall to express any emotions beyond the two approved ones, laughter and rage.
