“Dad, I don’t know how to say this, but…I’m gay”

“We know. Now, would you like some tacos?”

“What?”

“Sigh, I guess I’m eating all the tacos.”

Tip…at a buffet? What the hell are you tipping for?

Even in America that is pretty wtf.

The SSA has a neat Actuarial Life Table, which informs how long the average person of a specific age will live. As you get older, your average life-span actually increases, as we can now factor out that you didn’t die at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4…38, 39 years of age.

The average adult male, 40, lives until they are 77, female 81.

That’s what they all say. Then it’s “damn, I should have not spent money like I was going to die, I should have invested, I should have taken care of my health, I should have spent more time with my family that is no longer around”

Doom scrolling makes all those bad things significantly worse.

What’s the context here?

jump through extra hoops to play on your steam deck

The Heroic launcher works great on Linux, and to my knowledge the Steam Deck. Let’s you easily play your GOG, Epic, and Prime games.

Yep, gotta love DRM Free!

A few recommendations with that in mind (Boy does that one restriction really just nuke the list! Common Japan!):

1. Spice and Wolf (2008 series, I have no clue if the 2024 series is good)

2. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

3. Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

4. Gate: And Thus the JSDF Fought There

5. Crest of the Stars

(Roughly in that order, too)

4 seconds into first anime, high pitched squeal coming from female lead

10 minutes in, realize the main character is 15, girl phobic, and being put in charge of serious military equipment nobody has the right to touch until they undergo a year of training and are willing to follow orders; starts wondering if the person giving the child multi-billion dollar military equipment is more incompetent than the main character…it’s really a close call

15 minutes in, bitches like the child they are for the rest of the episode

episode ends

I love anime, but boy are some of the tropes really annoying and is a massive part of why so many people just turn it off shortly after it starts.

Pretty much the same. Though I have rarely been more than the 2nd person in line at an Aldi. That one dude keeps pace!

Then after that the employee can slowly scan my items and pack them with cold stuff across all bags and fragile stuff under heavy stuff.

The key to getting in and out quick is to have them scan it and you bag it. Even if they start bagging it for you, “I got the bags” places things in bags.

Also Aldi, Aldi gets you in and out and they know how to pack a cart so things don’t get squished. I believe it’s because they actually pay their people and train them to get the line moving.

Edit: Another time-save: you can pay for your groceries by card before they are finished ringing them up.
