Control issues and perfectionism are among my many neuroses. I swear a lot. I do drugs (the good kind). I'm a socialist. I studied art in school. Cooking, Baking, US Politics, environmental conservation, mental health, my employer Ramses, That Damn Cat.

Last Notes npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck We'll be eating our hats before his cult turns against him. Even if the Lindsey Grahams and Mitch McConnells of the establishment suddenly grew a pair and denounced the prick for what he is, the idiots on the ground can't be convinced he's anything short of the second coming and they'd be run out of town. npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck I keep warning people. No. The last thing we need is for that mendacious son of a bitch to die. He needs to live for ever. You think his knuckle-dragging sycophants are bad now? Give them a martyr. See how fast we're much farther fucked. npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck Oh no. Keep that up and you'll no longer be able to shop in ANY maximally anxiety-inducing environment, dodging falling ceiling tiles for overpriced goods you don't need from stores that should have been bankrupt a decade ago. npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck Yo, is that one of those online gig jobs like training AI (Outlier, TELUS,&c.)? npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck Look at these little things! So pretty now! npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck I've been struggling with a conflict between my grandmother and I for a few weeks. She made racist comments and is refusing to be held accountable. I'm kinda lost for what to do. I've been really close with her my whole life. npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck Also, nahh. The Cape Fear isn't going to dry up. Anyway, it's the county. There'd be riots. Commissioners would be tarred and feathered. 🤣 npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck Nahh. I'll spend a fortune on my water bill before it gets that bad. It just means a lot more weeding. I wish I could find a decent source for clean hay. Even the stuff the Farm Witch said was "guaranteed" clean was far from it. npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck Not really. I hadn't considered that. I probably should for next year because I do plant pretty dense. npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck I've got the monitors on the ends of my arms I was born with! 😁 npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck @npub14yg…wdxt npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck We don't have rain in the forecast until the 25th? Only 5 mm? npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck It's a little sad that the fiscal upside will be what we have to keep hammering to sell these kinds of programs to pretty much anyone, instead of the almost universally beautiful human upside of what happens when the state flies close to fulfilling it's simplest function: distribution of resources equitably and without a ton of gatekeeping. npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck It really is just a binary. I was ill for days after voting for Hil' Dawg in 16. BUT I DID IT. npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck In case you couldn't tell, I resent being lumped in as a Biden Supporter just because I'm going to hold my nose and vote for a man who will preserve these people's right to even have an opinion on what happens in government. npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck They'll have double it, too. A lot of us will be absent from that protest, one way or another. Shame, too. I'm scary good with firearms. npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck What WILL those signalling from their moral high horses they're not voting for Biden feel if dippy gets reelected due to their privileged, myopic intransigence and suddenly all the LGBTQ+, migrant, woman, non-christian, non-white folks in their lives become chattel? npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck I'm getting really sick of gMail using the Youtube Kindle Fire app as the second 2FA factor. Yes, there is a Kindle Fire in this house. And yes, it's using my logon credentials. But that Kindle belongs to the cat now. npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck Huh. npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck No idea what that was all about. npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck The page on the Microsoft website has stopped loading altogether. Even in Edge. npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck The System Restore in the BIOS looks handy. There's a 350MB partition showing up in gParted, that's what that's got to be about, right? npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck I've not reset a Windows machine since 7. I set my daily driver (WIN10) reset, walked away. An hour or so later after some yard work, I return to find a login screen with a @npub1ytc…8yq2 image as my background. Curious. All of this was supposed to be gone. Pass my creds, it throws a User Profile Svc error "Can not be loaded." npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck How do you tell a grown-ass adult to stop leaving greasy food hand prints all over microwaves, refrigerators, drawer pulls, faucets, doorknobs, and clean dishes without coming off as passive-aggressive and bitchy? npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck Is there such a thing as Maritime Lawyer Fediverse? npub1akzgetmt66wxcvn2q3xgx45rx0936gux4pk3kxeltf9v8ns68njsae4t5m helplessduck I'm considering giving Pixelfed a try, and I'd be grateful for some advice.
