I’ll probably say something you find offensive if I haven’t already. It’s okay- mute or block me.

I think what’s kept me from ever being a gamer is that I want everything unlocked and to be in God mode all the time.
I’m not interested in a challenge- I want to be entertained. That’s not really how that world works.
When I want a challenge, I go to 3D Printers and CAD and so on- where I end up making something.
I ordered a little solar powered LED light for my hummingbird feeder, as they seem to be visiting before and after daylight, and I ordered a used one because what do I care? In the packaging was something additional that had me utterly stumped. What the hell are these things? Is it to do with the LED light deal? Nope.
I looked them up:

AWS: We were going to let a bunch of you go, but didn’t want to pay unemployment or be understood as having more layoffs. Aren’t we clever?
This sort of thing is so dumb. Setting aside the prize-winningly stupid name “Vision Zero”, there’s reason to question the underlying causes. I’m entirely onboard with working to make roads and intersections safer, but none of this calls out the biggest root cause- shitty drivers. Increase penalties and enforcement for shitty driving, and you’re solving two problems- budget and road safety. Driving is NOT a right.

With Russia being such a pariah these days, is it considered untoward to order a Moscow Mule?
I should reach out to Madam Tussauds and ask them if they’d be willing to have me add some servos to their wax Dumpus. I could for sure get the arms going. Probably the dance moves too. I don’t think it’d require much.
When some actor says Mel Gibson “deserves to make films” I can’t make sense of it. Who is stopping him? Do they mean he deserves the funding from industry sources? Do they mean he deserves distribution, participation, support, etc? What exactly is he “deserved” here, and why him versus someone less vocally racist?
It’s a remarkably vague kind of entitlement.
CA gov Newsome signs bill into law that: “allows the state to require oil refiners to maintain a minimum inventory of fuel and authorizes the California Energy Commission to require refiners to plan for resupply during refiner maintenance outages.”
Philip’s 66: We can’t cause shortages for fun that lead to higher prices and profits? That’s it- we’re shutting down our refinery.
Fox absurd disingenuous headline on story: “California oil refinery announces closure after Newsom signs more regulations”.
**ahem**
Medical marvel: How a man lived 78 years unaware he had 3 penises
Canada and India expel each other’s diplomats in response to India assassinating a Sikh leader in Canada (so says Canada, and denied by India).

The guy who brought the world “Adult FriendFinder” is funding racist bullshit “science”. Go figure.
I’d noticed there weren’t many #hummingbird visits today, and while it’s windy and cool out, I thought about the nectar, and wondered if it needed changing.
So I go out and rinse out the feeder and refill it, and precisely ONE MINUTE later:
I searched Amazon for Wombles (doubtful that anyone was presently still making stuffed/plushy ones, but checking just the same) and I was presented with a list of vibrators.
How do you go from Wombles to sex toys?
No. Second thought, I don’t think I’d take any satisfaction in knowing.
If your significant other said to you “these new gray trash bags with the strange pitted tear-resistant texture are weird looking, like an elephants scrotum” would you:
Have a laugh and agree they’re weird looking?
Go on some tireless inquiry about how it came to pass that your significant other is so acquainted with how elephant scrotums look?
Leave the room silently with a look of contempt on your face?
Suffice it to say, I think we can wave off going to “Boo at the Zoo” this year…
I put a slingshot in my cart. If it’s still there in the morning, I’m buying it.
How do I not have a slingshot? At my age? Shameful.
