There’s this young, tall guy at the bus station every night, doing either Tai Chi or cosplay moves. Nice to see someone doing something constructive, honing their craft, instead of being a dumbass and smoking weed like the others.
Tehran 😳🇮🇷🔥
Yikes.
It’s no exaggeration! After several of those while ordering and eating, I was asked if I wanted anything else. “No thanks.”
“Perfect!”
“I’ll pay with debit.”
“Perfect!”
“I don’t need the receipt”
“Perfect!”
“Have a good day”
<Wincing, waiting for it…>
“You too!”
I ran for the door. 😅
If I owned a restaurant, I’d ban the staff from saying “Perfect!” every time a customer says anything. 🙄
It’s spotless! Wow!
Great! Thanks!
明けましておめでとうございます‼️🙂
Thank you, Mistress! 😉
Merry Christmas! メリークリスマス！ I hope everyone has a restful holiday season and we all have a better year in 2026 than 2025!
I like how when you inevitably miss the bus you have even more time to think about how to make it better. ☺️
It’s your chrysalis era. Looking forward to seeing your final form. 🙂
Thinking of people in Burma and Thailand today. I experienced a lot of smaller earthquakes in Tokyo, but never as strong as M7.7. A lot of desperately poor people in Myanmar with a civil war ongoing. They need help more than ever.
An unnamed telecom vendor is doing Oracle Cloud Fusion maintenance on a Friday afternoon, causing my job application to be lost as I was submitting it.
Have their IT people learned nothing? 😰 Maybe they like weekend work. 🥰
Studying a CompTIA course and found a direct copy-paste from Wikipedia. And I’m paying big bucks for this? You dicks. 😠
Hard to not punch the TV right now, haha. I should change the channel. Fuck all the way off, Trump! 🙂

If you post every hour around the clock, or you’ve never posted, I’m not gonna follow you back.
No thanks! 🙂
Happy New Year everyone!
This, versus the state of US health care. Which one do you want…?
Gretzky has been MAGA for a while. As a Canadian I would never vote for him. Stick to sports, Wayne.
Taking a trip back to my home town by train. Already 3 hours late and we haven’t left the station. 😔 We’ve never been so good at rail. 🇨🇦
Years ago, the IT department of my company found a MP3 server in the ceiling called “Rockbox” with 10000’s of songs. To this day I wish I’d found it first. 🥲💨💻
Ahh, I think it was library on my phone. I tried on my Mac and it worked. 😩
I bought a CD long ago, ripped it to iTunes. Moved from Canada to Japan and back again and now I can’t play it because it’s “not available in my country”??
EUREKA, Calif. (AP) — Powerful earthquake strikes off coast of Northern California; tsunami warning issued.
A certain healthcare corporation who needs a new chief executive today once laid my dad off at 39.5 years of service so he wouldn’t be entitled to the 40 year pension. His team raised money themselves to give him a watch with “39.5 Years” engraved on it. I think about that watch A LOT.
Missed the point yet again. Don’t get out of your Mom’s basement often?
