Right? A Real Genius quote in the wild just made my day!

It’s a reference to an X-Files episode, one of the few where they swapped out the ‘Trust No One’ text in the opening credits.

BUT… I like the way you think!

Deceive. Inveigle. Obfuscate.

(That’s a deep cut, wonder if anyone got it.)

Badowm badowm badowm boooooowm!

Do you want Shai’halud? Because this is how you get Shai’halud.

I watched it recently and it’s shocking how well it’s held up. Aside from the fashion, it feels like it could have been made last year.

With the demise of Omnivore I was about to roll out an alternative on my NAS. How does this compare to Wallabag?

Same. I’m fucking furious. I specifically chose it over something like Readwise in order to stay open source. Ugh.

Snowy has the right idea in this picture.

Yeah but how do you consult those rules? How often are they updated? How do you get notified of updates?

The fact that there are no answers to these questions and therefore everyone is working with mismatching rule sets makes the whole thing useless. You can be totally well meaning and still piss off a server because somehow you don’t know what the currently acceptable magic number is.

I recently visited the states for the first time in a decade and didn’t find out until afterwards that 15% is now considered by some people to be “low”. Sorry everyone who I tipped, I shafted you without realizing it. 🤷‍♂️

I ❤️ Beri. Please make sure Beri has an ample supply of scritches.

“Pewma! PEWMA Man!”

It’s from the movie Snatch. Banger of a classic!

And XMB was their last good interface design. Each one since just gets progressively more wtf.

This thumbnail looks like it’s from an episode of the original V miniseries.

Why don’t they just make the whole plane planet out of the black box paint.

You rock, thank you!

So how do I actually opt out? My website is just some personal hobby stuff on wordpress that only friends and family look at, I don’t need seo.

As an old cat adopter I want to add one thing to this. Yes, it hurts to lose them when their time comes, but something I didn’t expect is that after the mourning I’ve always started to feel a sense of urgency to find the next old timer to rescue. I’ll remember the time and love I had from the ones before and I curse how much time was wasted while they waited in a shelter for someone to come for them. Why couldn’t I have found them sooner? They deserved so much more love and comfort, where the hell was I? Then we go out and find our new friends that have been waiting for us for so long and our family gets better again.

It’s always tough knowing that our time with them is short, but that’s true of any animal relationship. In the end we’re left with the love for them which in my experience never diminishes. We may say more tearful goodbyes when connecting with the old ones, but over time the wonderful memories and love in our lives just accumulates more and more.

I agree the responsibility (and occasional expense) of caring for older animals is not always in everyone’s capabilities, but I implore you not to avoid considering welcoming one (or more) into your life solely because of aversion to the pain that comes from losing them. The love they give outweighs it a thousandfold.
