I ordered one of these in 2018. It never arrived. Now every year this shows up in my FB feed and I'm annoyed again.
I mean, it's not like they stabbed me in the back or anything, but it was $20 bucks.

It's so weird watching American TV shows that I regularly download/watch (in English) dubbed in German.

Obviously, the voices are wildly different.

Characters with accents, or specific vocal patterns, suddenly have none, and everyone speaks German.

Imagine a scene involving rivalries between racially mixed gangs in central LA, but they're all speaking and shouting in proper accentless German.

It's disconcerting for me, like a bad acid trip.

#CultureShock bites me in the ass once again.

Fox News is starting to sound like my grandma's Macaw, except the only word it knows is "woke" instead of "fuckface"

The trending #Bankcollapse seems like a good time to remind people about #CreditUnions

Credit Unions are owned by THE MEMBERS. You get better rates and no hidden fees.

With "shared branching" you can even go to thousands of branches across the country, more than any bank! https://www.coop.org/Solutions/Engage/Co-op-Shared-Branch

Hey all! A not-so-formal introduction. My name's Benny, I'm a Chicago-based #queer #psychologist #folkmusic creating, #ukulele playing friendly goof #catdad, with some thirst on the side ;)

Let's be kind when we can, and fight fascism when we can't.

Thanks for the friendly welcome :)

Putin is literally running out arms and soldiers, emptying prisons to put men in uniform, and thats not going well.

Time for nations suffering dictators held in place by Russian power, to have some Nice Democratic Revolutions.

Self-governing is the BEST!

Lets send them all notes to remind them of the benefits of not having a dictator crushing their lives.

This is a very highly variegated Philodendron Brasil I got as a cutting last year, it was struggling but seems to have settled nicely.

It has a succulent friend with it.

Once properly grown, I'll transfer it from the plastic soup container it's in to something more permanent.

They don't make them like that any more

Ha...another good one Andy. 😆

I’ve never paid for sex.

Well, not on the front end.

I've been on Mastodon for a little over four months and during that time I've blocked maybe half a dozen people.

But today I blocked an entire instance!

They used a homophobia slur. I thought about reporting it, but when I went to block them - well it turns out they're their own Admin.

B'Bye!

Wrapped up a great interview talking about my new release, THE SHADOW GALAXY, current and upcoming books, and world-building. I’ll share when it’s posted. Lots more podcasts in the works soon too!

Time for a new #introduction as my old one's a bit out-of-date.

I'm a 37 year-old cis #gay man living in western PA, USA. I work as a #Unix and (unfortunately) backup #sysadmin. I'm primarily a #NetBSD user.

I'm also into #hamradio, my username's my callsign.

I started #gliding back in July and am now a student glider/#sailplane pilot.

My other interests include #videogames, #books, #hiking, #media (which I used to work in) and #cats, especially my own named Freyja.

Bad habits we all have
-Leaving lights on
-marathon tv watching
-making a covenant with the blood god
