I don't envy him, sucks to be short.

Kanye West
Elon Musk

Got the latest booster last month, today, woke up with a fever and mild cough. Did the home test and yup, covid positive, first time ever. Now I get week off work, stay in my room all day and order out, heck yea, thanks covid and your mild cough and slight fever.

Apple Vision Pro

Like most people, waiting for X-Men or F4, nothing else worth the hassle of seeing it on the big screen, maybe Deadpool. They really should work harder to settle the strike, longer it goes, further back they have to push releases, maybe that's a good thing.

Shop for new car insurance every year. They count on the fact that we're lazy and won't go through the hassle.

Colonoscopy

Yes, I happily use the self check outs when I buy stuff, I actually prefer it.

What next? Pick a red state and become a senator, I guess.

Martin doesn't work of ASoIaF during footballs season, or any month that ends in y or r.

I got an 8% raise at work, might be able to afford to go out and eat at a sit down place once a month now.

Rule of 3, plenty of old politicians, smart money would be on Mitch.

Money, already have real guns and I'm guessing if I ever have to pull it on someone, they would fuck off without having to actually pull the trigger.

Switch the power pins with the reset pins and hit the reset button?

Dang, guess he's guaranteed a senate seat now.

Depends if I'm on my phone, if I see the car next to me move, I go too.

Itchy anus is the worst, but feels so good when you finally can scratch it.

Spent the first 4 months of 2023 contributing to the 2022 tax year, I'm so far behind on retirement.

Want to watch it, able to rent for $5.99, but it's most likely going to be on Netflix before the end of the year, $5.99, that's like a mocha Frappuccino.

Order in app, pick up in drive thru. Gives me time to browse the menu and pay. No need for me to yell at a speaker box while trying to figure out what I want from the 50 items they have for sell crammed into the drive menu.

Only place I've ordered from a kiosk was Taco Bell, and it was simple, order, pay, type in a fake name, wait for them to yell it out.

Huh, people still have cable.

Hong Kong club in Tijuana. You pick the girl in the club, buy her a drink if you want, ask for how much. You then tip the guy at the door for a coat for her, take her to the hotel owned by the club, pay for the room, unless you booked a room for the night. Do the deed, tip the guy who's going to clean up who knocks on the door to let you know time is up, go back to the club and repeat.

My mom makes 1.

If she doesn't have to turn sideways to go through a door, it's too small.

We live in a world where you have to ring up and bag your own stuff. Meanwhile, you can also have someone shop for you, bag it up, bring it to your car and put it in your trunk without getting out of your car for no extra fee and no tip needed. Weird times.

Sitting here in the OC, wonder if I should be buying extra water and batteries, flashlights and candles, maybe board up the windows, who knows, I'm sure it'll be fine, back to Baldure's Gate.

Yes, also has a great chance to be our next president, again.

I kinda feel guilty when I order stuff, then forgot something, order more stuff. Family member then orders some other stuff and for like 4 days straight we get deliveries. Then I remember I paid $139/year for prime and 'free' delivery.

She's like 35 or something.

At that point where it's just Amazon and grocery stores.

401k is in a target fund, roth IRA is 85% S&P 500 index fund (FXAIX) and 15% in foreign investment fund (FZILX), HSA is all in total US market index fund (FZROX). I contribute 15% of my pretax income to the 401k (with employer fully matching the first 5%, love that free money), $600/month post tax to the roth IRA and max out the HSA at $260/month with a employer contribution of $500 year.

Not touching anything until I retire. 2022 was brutal, but got to buy a bunch of stocks at a discount, 2023 is much better, except for the last couple of days with the whole US credit getting downgraded.

Also do a employee ESPP that get me a 10% discount of the company stock. It's 3% of my income with a buy twice a year. I sell that right away to get that guaranteed 10% return. Have to pay short term gain on that, but I still come out ahead, and I hate holding just one stock.

Wonder if we're at a far enough point where tech in 3023 would be comprehesible to us. Hopefully the oceans won't have all boiled away by then.

That Wil Wheaton post on Facebook

I can not fathom the emptiness, the insecurity, the insatiable need for attention and validation, the staggering arrogance, the malevolence and total void of human experience that is Elon Musk.
He's the richest man on the planet. You can't go anywhere or do anything without interacting with something he's part of in some way. There are literal millions of people who uncritically worship him, in spite of overwhelming evidence that he's a douchebag. Some number of them will come after me, as they come after anyone who points at their naked emperor. They'll spend entire days going after me and people like me, slavishly serving a man who does not even know they exist. They are his army of fools, uncritically serving his every whim. And it still isn't enough.
He can have any material thing he wants, and he will *never* be happy or satisfied. He has no real friends. Every single person around him is either a viper, a parasite, or both.
So what does he do? He bullies and threatens and harasses and trolls and behaves like the weak, scared, insecure child he has always been. That's a tragedy for him, but it's dangerous for us. He doesn't care what he destroys or who he hurts as he chases this existential thing he can not ever have.
You know the saying "hurt people hurt people"? He's a hurt person who is hurting our society, making people I care about less safe. The consequences of this one man's midlife crisis are global, and that terrifies me.

Confederate flags everywhere.

Flirt with a younger cute co-worker.

I bought 5 tickets to Barbie and didn't even go, 5 liberals will now cry because they couldn't get tickets.

need that pic of pornstars with and without make up

You can pick up a cross bow for like $50 on Amazon, only one shot, so make it count. People would probably run if they saw you pointing that thing at them.

If it was frozen, it'll keep for 4-6 months.

This is why I leave a mess in the bathroom, have fun with that clean up you dress code violating employee.

Easy, just pull out the crayon, and bam, 105 IQ.
