yeah grown ass men with sausage fingers are also out there painting tiny dolls using nail art brushes so they can play house* with their friends. american men have plenty of manual dexterity *warhammer 40k

Well I spent $1400 on home services and repair today. Do not get that mortgage you can barely pencil there's so much else coming up in your future.

I finally fixed the remote subwoofer control in my car; the OEM cable wasn't properly crimped and failed. I loaned out my network repair tool kit to someone but I don't remember who anymore so I bought another multi RJ crimper:

For my birthday & bluesky anniversary, here is what I want from you: go say something nice and meaningful to someone else on here. You can do it in this thread if you want, but you don’t have to! Just spread some kindness, please!

Reminder: Murderbot is an it, not a him. It is very clear on this point multiple times through the books and the show is following that

Thank you @bethlogic.bsky.social @k8em0.bsky.social for being the latest bluesky users to donate to our WISP Scholarship!!!

Interview Pepsi’s CEO next and ask him what he thinks the best drink in the world is

Oh! This sounds exciting! Unfortunately I'm not going to make this one:

Where I get my ideas from

I think I have finally managed to articulate this very fundamental but slightly counterintuitive fact about how shell redirection works

Eating Disorders are a silent killer:

Pedro Pascal proves that sometimes the most masculine thing to do is to be vocally and unflinchingly supportive of vulnerable people.

Please i need men to gain media literacy bojack horseman, rick, archer, cartman they aren't for you to aspire to. They are all just charismatic losers.

Oh snap; this is a great idea. I can *definitely* teach a course or two on this:

This is an example of a comment that was probably meant as a compliment however it did not land as one - and rightfully so; it demonstrates a lack of concern with the desires of the OP in a fundamentally disrespectful way:

One of the cartoons from Physics for Cats

Cis Americans, if you do one single thing today please let it be to contact your representative. You have no idea how many US trans people I follow who are freaked the fuck out And for everyone else, if America does it, your country will use America as an example of how they can do it too.
