  • For those who do not know, Luce is the vatican’s anime mascot girl.

    She was developed to share the light of Jesus Christ and to spread awareness that starting on Christmas of 2024 and going until January 6th 2026 we will be in a Year of jubilee.

    Any person who chooses to pass through the arches of an approved Catholic church and receive communion will receive plenary indulgence and complete and total inexorable forgiveness of all past sin according to dogmatic law.



  • Many of the at least 400 words that are technically both nouns and verbs depending on usage can form sentences of just repeating the word.

    Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

    Echoes echoes echoes Echoes’ echoes.

    Mrs Missus misses misses’ Missus.

    Fly flies fly.

    Tests “tests” tests tests Tests’ test.

    Reasons reason reasons.


  • I don’t think I’m ever going to forget, I went on a road trip and when I was in Arizona stopped at a rest stop and took a leak and washed my hands afterwards.

    This native guy walked in, and I only call him out for being native because I’m native also so it’s kind of cool to see another one in the wild, and he immediately said, “Get some poop on your hands? I only wash my hands when I get poop on them.”

    So yeah, I never touch anything in a bathroom without like at least a paper towel between me if I can avoid it


  • I was about to say. Over the counter vitamin d is so cheap you can buy it at the freaking Dollar tree.

    Why the fuck do I have to spend a third of my life growing new blood cells and healing neck wounds for these mighty bitey bastards?

    It’s not my fault they didn’t put $1.27 into a savings account in 1820 and are now multi-millionaires that can afford the good shit.




  • The playbook as I understand it is that they offer a community improvement for free at first to get you hooked and then once everyone is entirely reliant upon it that’s when they do the rug pull.

    So there is a good chance that Google search will improve for the next 6 to 18 months while they are doing this just know that this is a temporary reprieve from the enshittification solely to prime the engine for the enshittification to get massively worse.






  • Some part of me believes that water cannot get so hot that it would cause metal to Glow.

    I would be happy to be proven wrong.

    I mean, unless you’re saying that the pipe is heating the water inside of it? Which at that temperature that water would be expanding to over a thousand times its size and would probably blow that line to smithereens.



  • I mean, you’re not wrong, but it seems like a shopping website that refuses to show you the thing that you are looking for doesn’t want your business.

    Amazon is incredibly bad about this. If I did not have to use it for work, I would not use it at all. I deactivated my prime account 5 years ago and I have not regretted it one second.

    Now though, eBay is doing the same thing and that really sucks. AliExpress also does this. It’s getting to the point where you simply cannot find what you are looking for unless you are so specific that whatever search algorithm they are using simply cannot choose to show you something else about directly explicitly lying to your face.

    And I don’t think that using a third party search engine to find the specific part number of the item you’re looking for so that you can find it on the shopping website that makes its money by selling you the things that you want to buy is a good solution.


  • I’ve noticed that when I am specking out a new computer I typically fall into the trap of wanting the absolute best computer I can get for the money.

    I’ve always been on the cheaper side, so I have found myself spending days or weeks researching various parts at various quality levels at various prices.

    It becomes a huge drag.

    Set the budget that you’re comfortable with, find the motherboard that has the features that you want, then get a CPU that fits in that price range, a case that fits your use cases, and then if you’re going to splurge on anything splurge on the power supply as a good power supply can last you through multiple computers.

    If you have to save money somewhere, save money on RAM as you can always order more or upgrade the rim that you have relatively inexpensively. Maybe if you’re going intel, purchase an i5 CPU and then consider upgrading if you max out its abilities or you find yourself frequently running at 100% utilization.

    And don’t overlook pre-builts. There are lots of refurbished computers that you can purchase for far less than the cost of the individual parts that have all of the minimum specs that you want in exchange for little things like only having a single stick of ram or having a low quality SSD.

    There’s nothing that stops you from upgrading later should your use case change.
