Last Notes npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…dyu0 @nprofile…v47q I was a Google fan from the start. Their search engine used to be the absolute best and I built a relatively successful career in tech by knowing how to google stuff. But, of course, things have changed. They are in the final stage of enshittification and I feel betrayed. npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…dyu0 yeah. Change is bad. I still wish everything looked like Netscape navigator. npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…dyu0 I had honestly forgotten about that browser. I used it several years ago and it seemed pretty solid at the time. npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…stmg this makes me want to run into the woods and never come back. npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…dyu0 npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…dyu0 I never drop below 75%. 95% is a normal day. npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…d6ag is there any reason for 24 straight hours of worship? Is God so insecure, so needy, that he requires constant praise? npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…dyu0 are you familiar with the song "Mother" by The Police? npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface I got my new fine cursive italic #fountainpen nib from allinthenib.com. The nib tines were slightly misaligned. Not a big deal to fix but annoying for a brand new nib. The grind is slightly asymmetric. Again, not a huge problem but annoying. It''s very scratchy and builds up a little pile of paper fibers on the tip after a few words at which point it starts writing like a cheap felt tip pen. I could probably do some work on it to make it usable but, instead, I chucked it into my box of spare parts where it will languish for eternity. npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…dyu0 as a chronically depressed Tolkien fan I think I did pretty well with 20 out of 24 npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…44dh npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface Anybody know where I can get a JoWo compatible #6 fine cursive italic nib? npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…cdyc npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface I'm not usually one to complain but #StrangeDonuts on Olive in West #StLouis County is strangely disappointing. npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface for-profit healthcare should be a crime npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface For all you #fountainPen people: Apparently #FerrisWheelPress announced a #HarryPotter collaboration. It met with immediate backlash and they have since taken it down but you might want to keep that in mind if you plan to do business with them in the future. npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…fa5p npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface I made some new #fountainPen sleeves. npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…vuu7 It's like stopping COVID testing because it makes the infection rates high. Wait, we already did that one. npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…7klc Make sure to follow the instructions in the "To Destroy Your 23andMe Test Sample" and "To Revoke Permission for Your Genetic Data to be Used for Research" sections *before* deleting your account or you won't be able to log in to do so. npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…pej0 now is not a good time to be visiting the United States. We have an aspiring fascist dictator dismantling our government right now and it is not safe. npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…gqp6 I will have you know that we have had three Mondays already this week and today is practice Friday npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…args We need to normalize using cash again. In these days of the surveillance state, we need untraceable financial transactions. npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface https://www.reddit.com/r/GenX/comments/1j3l71q/comment/mg17ptd/ npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface My new Edison Pen Co. #fountainPen from https://www.atlasstationers.com has arrived npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…taps Morpheus is a bit of a luddite. npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…4dwe npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. npub14zxaa9cvt928twhxfgkerv6d4rckp5lektpytks37r2uqwtpgags6kjns8 McCrankyface @nprofile…lwhf @nprofile…9fyy and it was 15 this morning. Welcome to St. Louis
