I feel like I am not going to be able to get my hands on that 5090 :( or 5080! Apparently there is bugger all availability in the UK.

I need to do my end of year new year goals.... PC build is at the top of that list. All depending on the cost of a 5090 and a 9800x3d

I have an innate sense that Xmas day is all about eating as much as possible. Why?

If Hell is real, there's a special place for those who abandon animals on the side of the road. Fuck those people.

Working from home works as I can grab a bath in my lunch and feel reset. Id suggest it.

Finding myself scrolling the inner depths of the BBCs news when there is no insta reels to distract me. This isn't going to be an easy couple of weeks. Here's my dog looking judgemental.

Today's pain. Paying £300+ for a car service to be told that I need another £600+ worth of work done to it. Santastic!

Linkedin: "10 tips as to why I brew my own shit and force it on others, but I'm humble about it" "Someone once said I was a crap manager: Here's a piece to prove them wrong (but it proves them right)" The self indulged trumpet blowing is something else. No one gives a flying bollock.

I think there should be a lottery win where someone gets access to a random billionaire's account for 48hrs once a year.

This will be my main social media as I try a semi-black out of anything with 'reels'. I'm just finding myself wasting time doom scrolling. Time to fill that boredom with something else.

Is the hashtag just dead now? All those references will feel very 2010. Hashtag oldman

Is there an age where you just let the crazy seep in? Then before you know it you either have Gnomes on your lawn or you're standing outside Maccies shouting about the end times?

Since 2020. Got a mortgage. Quit a role for bullying. 3 months unemployed. Temp job contract ran out. 3 months unemployed. Hit by 500 job loss'. 3 months unemployed. £300pm mortgage increase. And an amazing wedding. So it's okay I have put on a little wieight. Could have sent me to dispair...

2011 me would have been posting on this app every 10 mins with something witty and current. Now I just want to mmmmmm-block out the haters. (Yes it's an old reference, but... fuck I don't need to justify myself, that's wierd, why am I still typing? Pathetic.)

All these hackers, fraud, crazy politics. I'm just here trying to pay my mortgage.

Dreamt I was walking into a resturant and fell over, pulling a muscle. I wake up and my calf has extreme muscle ache to the point of discomfort when sitting. So does that mean they really did cheat in the dream?!

Bluesky needs to keep the Bots away from the platform. It will be a quick slide downhill once funded bots are common place here... Like they are everywhere.

The joys of a cold snap.

The rise in the manipulation of children by social media makes me support a ban in Australia. Not to stop kids having fun, but to halt foreign actors influencing children into dangerous hateful politics.

When did people stop caring about sources, checking sources and reading whole articles wheter we agree with them or not. This is how misinformation has spread so thick - we are choosing what is important to our internal narrative.

I know I am an over cynical individual, jaded by social media and cannot stop thinking that we are animals in our own zoo telling each other we should ignore our lizard brains. But I'll try to lighten up one day.

We need to cancel echo chambers. It's healthy to debate with people you do not agree with, otherwise you just become in a box, so lost from reality that you are shocked about what is happening around you. it's happening because you block rather than engage. Start changing hearts and minds.

Once you've tried PC gaming with a good, solid set up - it's hard to go back to console. Lower Res, slower inputs, lower FPS and gated backwards compatability.

No point analysing the differences between BlueSky and Twitter until it's been about for a few years. Like, hype it up, but don't be surprised when the gloss starts coming off, things will dilute as it grows. Just be aware of the keyword ban and avoid rage bait topics. (Unless you love that)

Okay, now we have Twitter++ from the people who made Twitter. Can we have a new Facebook and Instagram that isn't riddled with bots, AI and people with emoji versons of themselves?

So when are the unwanted bots going to turn up? And no, I am not talking about the ones that swarm the twitter replies, I am talking about the Tory MPs?
