The Mosquito was a device for keeping teenagers away from the entrance of stores. It emits a tone so high, only yoots can hear it, us old fucks can’t hear it, lol.

Ugh, as the loser that once tried this tactic, it’s a coward move.

But some of us didn’t get parents, so conflict resolution was always “I’m the parent and i didn’t remember asking you a fucking question!?” (Actual quote from my sperm donor).

So we “win” by going limp and getting the other party frustrated enough to leave us alone…

Suicide rate about to chime in.

Hack n slash games: disable weapon “trails”.

I don’t need a motion blur the size of a city bus everytime i swing my weapon…

Oh honey, the last name isn’t the (main) problem…

Yeah, I’d just drill a hole and turn them into planters. #plantdad

Well this hits home.

A week or two ago, i had what i call my “weepy waves”. I get a sudden, intense desire to burst into tears for about a minute. Then I’m fine for about 15, then more tears, then calm, repeat

Fortunately, it was the last hour of my shift, so the security cameras only caught four of em, but when i was leaving, i burst into tears in the middle of the parking lot.

Got about $15 for my troubles…

AI Models Falter Answering Election Questions in Spanish.

I took care of one of my mother’s dogs, an overeater bordering on obese (the dog, my mother weighs 120 freedom units).

I went through about four different dog food brands before settling on RRs, apparently it’s good enough to eat when hungry, but not good enough to gorge.

So in short, I like her dog food because it’s adequate.

Short answer: I bite back now.

Long answer: My parents are hard-R Republicans. Every time they start getting all “demoncrats r bad” i just ask them, “Why do you want me dead so fucking bad? I know from being raised by you that you fucking hated me growing up, but to vote for “gays should be executed”? This is exactly why you didn’t have grandkids, the thought of putting more of your hate in the world is abhorrent to me…”

I’ve only had to pull that one out twice, so far, but it hits them hard when they still (I’m a few months away from 40) insist I “give them grandkids”.

It’s like throwing a live microphone in front of the speaker it’s attached to, self sustaining cycle…

I grew up in stress, so when I’m not stressed, it means I’ve forgotten something…

And they still don’t know why I won’t “give them grandchildren”. I’m like “bitch, I’ve been there, now I get to have fun”.

For me it was when i switched from FPS to building games. I can’t keep up with these youts…

My childhood never really began. I was a toddler, then i was a mini adult, having to “watch your brother!¡!¡!” everytime my parents wanted to have fun.

I was one of those kids that adults said was “mature for your age”. Except, it wasn’t maturity, it was fear of my parents.

So for me, childhood ended the first time my parents told me to become a third parent for their child.

Yes I’m still bitter about it, so i won’t call out the down votes on this one

Google is an advertising company. Vertical integration ftw?

No, they bought the lies the tech bros can afford to spew, so they are voting for this garbage…

There’s got to be a better way to do cross posts. When people/bots crosspost, my “All” feed gets cluttered with multiple copies of the same post. Maybe something like a drop-down showing all the instances and communities it’s posted to.
