Went with the polo again today. I am a child of habit.

I just did the hand motions and now I'm laughing my ass off πŸ˜‚

I was looking at that wondering if my brain had forgotten to brain, or if you'd mistyped. It's very hard to tell today πŸ˜†

I usually wear polo shirts. Decided that, fuck it, I'll wear a t-shirt today. It's school holidays, why not.

I've gone to adjust my collar, and been confused about lack of collar, about a dozen times today.

Get with it brain!

It's like it was made just for you. I wouldn't have been surprised if you went "that's mine" and whipped out an Etsy link πŸ˜†

Wikipedia says $1 Billion. Still a stupendous amount of money.

Wikipedia says Cambodia is a member, or said they'd really like to be. I reckon they've probably got a few things they could spend that money on other than BoP.

Congrats to The Man! That sounds like a fun way to celebrate.

Painfully Alive
YouTube video by SPUTN1K Painfully Alive

If you only watch one video of a Russian goth lamenting being β€œpainfully alive” while women twerk over his hospital bed, make it this one. (Kolya from ic3peak’s solo project) youtu.be/sRGOvIDVE94?...

I'm glad you cast your vote for that one, I was agonising over which single video of a Russian goth lamenting being "painfully alive" while women twerk over his hospital bed I should watch.

(That was a bizarre trip and I was glued to the screen!)

Uh oh, I think maybe we watch too much Peppa Pig - I heard that in Peppa's voice. Which would be odd for a NZ child πŸ˜†

Righto, who's drinking my coffee. Every time I pick up the cup it's empty. I don't remember drinking it. Damn ghosts, make your own coffee!

It's half past 10 in the evening, I'm sitting here telling myself "go to bed" and I reckon that's it. That'll be the last thing for today. Thanks Travis, that was fuckin magic.

Some security push 2fa software on my phone changed the workflow one time, you had to thumbprint after clicking "yes I'm trying to connect". It took Multiple Attempts to successfully connect after that, for months afterwards. Id click "yes" then stop looking at the phone, wondering "why so long??"

And the muting applies to media with alt text as well. The team has done a bang up wonderful job of the muting.

And if you want an even tighter experience, there's a couple of handy feeds like Following

OnlyPosts: only posts from people you follow. No replies, no reposts, just actual words typed by someone you follow.

Mutuals: Like OnlyPosts, but only things from people you follow and they follow you.

That sounds like someone enrolling in the wrong course, going "how hard can it be" and just getting on with it πŸ˜†

How often does the barista recognise you and remember your order? I did a contract somewhere for about half a year, went back a few years later, the coffee shop guy recognised me, complimented me on some weight loss, got my order bang on. I was properly surprised and amazed 🀩

He also signs off his slack messages

I think I understand why ellipsis annoy people so much now.

New coworker, he's about the same age as the rest of us (around 50). But he ends EVERY SINGLE FUCKING SLACK MESSAGE with ...

And put's them in the middle too... I don't think he's physically capable of hitting the full stop just once...

And spent the next few hours going "how did I get coconut in there??" as they find Yet Another Piece of coconut that escaped.
