Winamp is undefeated when it comes to shuffling your music. I miss it dearly.

when someone says they like anime but theyve never watched monster: 🚩🚩🚩

Aaaaaand already got my refund.

Scored my first billion point hand in Balatro today. The combination of Blueprint, Photograph, Sock and Buskin, Hanging Chad, and Cartomancer, with a negative Burnt Joker was just incredible. Went for a flush deck with as many glass face cards as I could possible make. So satisfying!

tfw you finally level up all your stats in persona 3

Me, watching a subtitled movie: this is just like watching anime, but in German.

No, I do not enjoy filing taxes, but I almost always get a refund, so yeah, I file that shit the moment I have all of the paperwork. Why the hell would I wait?!?

I think it's really beautiful that Chapo trap House is still funding Virgil Texas's ketamine habit all these years later!

big news for people who love writing cover letters

RIP David Lynch.

Great thread on improving your Balatro skills. I personally tend to advise two-pair, but the reasoning for flushes here is sound.

Waiting for job application responses is so weird. My first job was easy due to a prior internship, and every job since was a referral from a friend while I was still employed. Being unemployed, it's like, so I just sit here and play Balatro until one of the places I applied to calls me?!?

Filing a complaint against Duolingo for dangerous misinformation.

Applying for SWE jobs with DevOps experience is frustrating. Everyone is like "oOOoO you know how to write Ansible playbooks! Want to be a full DevOps engineer for us???" No, not really! No offense, but I applied to a C++/Python dev role.

The best part of being unemployed is the not working.

me (monday morning after a two week vacation): ugh, i really dont wanna go back to work! my company: were laying off 50% of the company, effective immediately the monkeys paw i told my wife not to get me for christmas:

Do yourself a favor, learn how to make karaage, it is the *correct* way to prepare dark meat chicken. Imagine a juicy chicken nugget with actual meat inside, instead of bone meal, that was marinaded in ginger and soy sauce.

I think the appealing thing about the universe of Dune is 10,000 years of no IT problems whatsoever.

Reading the Discover tab has me convinced that my superpower is "the ability to stop myself from playing video games too much". How have some people logged 300+ hours in Balatro?!? I've been playing it for a couple months now and just broke 40 hours, and even that feels like a lot!

Started watching Severance, and my favorite moment so far is at the dinner party when someone is introduced as a Russian lit professor, and another guest is like, "oh, wow, I love literature!"

Downloaded my Spotify history and imported it into Your Spotify (link below). Let's me see every song I've ever listened to and when, ranks most listened to song, artist, album, etc. Also provides a total usage graph! Of course, things have ramped up since starting WFH. github.com/Yooooomi/you...

Banana/orange/dragonfruit smoothies are god-tier, no other flavor combinations come even close.

Duolingo out here just straight up dunking on weebs.

My dumbest cat by far has, against all odds, grown a third neuron and figured out how to open the door into the chinchilla room. I feel like I've now witnessed something as profound and unlikely as the first primate to use stone tools, or the invention of the wheel. The chinchillas are fine, btw.

Putting together a model Gundam is about as close as I will ever get to performing surgery.

walking thru the forest with my friends just laughing and foraging a twig snaps, we freeze. it happened so fast. ambushed, swords in hand its all over. ill never see my family again. the world is fading. and those monsters are celebrating, *final fantasy victory fanfare blasting in the backgr-

"DoorDash is a human right because I have anxiety" is when I realized capitalism was locked in for another 40k years
