I had nightmares from Dawn of the Dead for weeks. I was 8 or 9 when my mom tried to show it to me, lol

Supposedly my mother’s maternal grandfather (so, my great-grandfather) wrestled a bear. Also supposedly, there is a statue somewhere in West Virginia to celebrate this fact.

I’ve done some surface level searching online for this but haven’t found anything. Cool to think about, though!

What’s wrong with Wiccans? I know a few, they’re fine people.

Would you also reject your humanity?

The big incident at my previous job was the (extremely incompetent) HR person accidentally sharing a spreadsheet of every employee’s salary. I was an hourly worker at the time and thought it was funny, but some of the senior engineers were pissed to find out how much more other engineers made. HR was not fired, instead she was put on a temporary paid leave.

Other incidents include:

• One of the owners’ vape exploded, forcing everyone to evacuate.
• VP of the company got caught buying escort services on the company credit card.
• Aforementioned owner (who was no longer an owner after the company was bought out) got fired shortly after a town hall zoom meeting, where he used a Trump/Pence background.
• The head of the NOC team had a stroke at work.
• COO “accidentally” revealed in front of everyone that one of the Project Managers had cancer. She sued, and they settled.
• COO verbally abused one of the senior managers over the phone during a big meeting. He sued, and they settled.

It was a pretty shitty company.

I’m a simple chips enjoyer (or crisps if you’re a Britbong). Something salty to balance the sweet jelly. I usually eat crunchy peanut butter, so it’s already a little savory.

For me, the bread is part of the experience of the PB&J. You have piqued my interest, though. How do you prepare this PB&J burrito?

Not sure if anyone has said this, but hold your breath and swallow three times. The last one can be a little tough, but it has worked for me I’d say 90% of the time.

Heyo, me too! I tried as a kid and busted my knee when I fell off, and gave it up.

I did this to my dad when he handed me his new phone to mess around with while he cooked. I took probably 30 selfies and he ended up printing a few and hanging them up on the wall at my parents’ house. So we both got a good laugh :)

Hello neighbor! NC will welcome you. It’s purple here. Rural areas are not so great but closer to the bigger cities (Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville, Greensboro/Winston) are nice.

Sorry about your sanity.

I had a similar experience on my laptop. I tried Ubuntu which broke after trying to throw on Nvidia drivers (using the official docs). I tried Mint and Debian, both of which couldn’t detect my laptop’s wifi card (after hours of trying to fix - apparently a common issue but the fixes did not work for me!). I landed on Fedora, worked great. I’m now on EndeavourOS, but Fedora was the stepping stone I needed.

My desktop I built recently is Bazzite, which is Fedora based and I love it.

I did one of those Hey girls, did you know that um memes (and continued to make them) back in the day. Netted me niche internet micro celebrity status. I won’t tell you which one, though.

Bazzite Linux running KDE Plasma 6. It’s a wonderful distro based on Fedora 40 (I think, still kinda new) and it’s made for gaming.

I tend to like the instance I’m on pretty well (wetdry.world). It’s not as serious and mostly everyone is a linux-using shit poster.

But I’m inclined to agree, I do miss the really funny gimmick accounts from Twitter.

Oh shit is there an abandoned one? I thought about it because I do miss SYAC. But if I do it, it’ll mean I have to start clicking on clickbait headlines…

I’m building a new PC soon and today I’m trying some psychedelic mushrooms for the first time.

The Mastodon instance I’m on (wetdry.world) has HUNDREDS of users. Don’t use an instance like mastodon.social and you’ll have a better time.
