I was told once that Mastodon is a friendly void that yells back. I really like that.

The world is a big place filled with terrible and wonderful things. I sometimes comment on them at length.

question. I want to disable voicemail and have a “No voicemail available. Try again later or text like it’s the 21 century” message.

WORK is supposed to be a MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL RELATIONSHIP.

@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

@StillIRise1963 I have advised so many people that they need to be more aggressive when their businesses mistreating them.

They pay to inconvenience you. If they do not pay you, you should not be inconvenienced. It sometimes sucks to have to push back but heart attacks at work are very costly.

@StillIRise1963 young people with few strong leaders and constant dragons at their doors have left us feeling vulnerable.

They outrank the dragons and are close to figuring that out, I think.

Dear old man glaring at me,
It's a song called Stick Seasons by a young man named Noah. Stop staring, I don't mind an audience.

I think the radio was playing a bootleg copy of a song. It suddenly went single channel and a few seconds in, the song skipped.

They should just pay for apple music or something.

Why do people keep thinking Trump is playing 4D chess when the simplest explanation (he ’s a tired old man) fits just as well? https://mastodon.social/

@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

@KingShawn
Narcissists tend to avoid eyes by closing them, pretending to sleep, ignoring people, etc. as a powerplay.

People are more comfortable thinking of Trump as a powerful man manipulating the systems around him instead of the system being managed by tons and tons of small connected parts and Trump being asleep.

As one potential and the most likely... imo.

Since I am fancy and worth it, I decided to have brunch today.

By brunch I mean, I made a bag of popcorn earlier than I meant to because I was using the "don't distract me" mode on my laptop and didn't see the time.

Breaded fried tofu can get fucked

mentallyalex,
@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

@TheBreadmonkey I was prepared to chat you up about the moany thing a moment ago but now I'm unsure. :blobcat0_0:

I happen to like breaded fried tofu, sir. It provides texture and easy to get protein without having to explain nutritional chemistry to the man in the window.

mentallyalex,
@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

@TheBreadmonkey :blobcatgiggle:

A few months ago I learned that you can buy tofu packaged from almost any store. They make it in both firm and extra-firm varieties but the young lady at the store didn't know what the differences were and told me something like, "I think it's firmer?" and then laughed.

I have learned that if I drain it and put something heavy on it, it feels more like the jerky stuff the chinese places serve here when you ordered it fried.

The TL;DR - I have not, no. :blobcatgiggle:

mentallyalex,
@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

@TheBreadmonkey Oh, that makes sense.

So I have an air fryer that I had thought about trying to use to make it more crispy than what I know how to do. BUt I'm afraid it will catch on fire and the last time I did that I was a renter and the property management team was very angry... I don't want to piss off the HOA.

@justafrog

mentallyalex,
@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

@TheBreadmonkey I don't think I airfry the right way.

Mine is my oven? I just press a button and its supposed to do it? Its new and I'm learning still but it seems to make chips and tater tots and such crunchy pretty easy.

@justafrog

mentallyalex,
@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

@TheBreadmonkey I started with a small portable one and that one burned down as well! Twinsies! :blobcatlaugh:

This one is much larger. If this one burns, the house is forfeit... or at least some of the kitchen.

Make sure you find well rounded leaky beans so you don't lean too heavily into one lane.

But I will at least never be so tragically desperate for attention as to buy a whole social network to make people pay attention to me.

That's good,right?

so. in January I was in a bad car accident. fractured spine, ruptured discs, cracked pelvis, broken arm. last 4 months have been v hard. tonight though I'm going back to my adult dance class for the first time. I wasn't sure I'd ever even walk properly again so this is a moment for me. a good one

mentallyalex,
@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

@ElleGray I'm glad you are recovering nicely and have things to look forward to. Recovery sometimes seems slower than we'd like, but it sounds like you are discovering some of the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel.

Next stop - a few careful shimmies!

Ever purchase something again because you swear you lost it and you swear you looked everywhere 5 times?

… only to buy it again and find the original a short time later?!

.. … that’s happened to me TWICE in the last month.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

@britt thank YOU for the lunch recommendation.

To end the day, I got this hoodie from the show. Very expensive … but if you’ve seen his show “Jigsaw” you’ll understand. If you are in a relationship … caveat emptor.

@KayJanes This is exactly what I assume my experience will be.

I didn't have the volume up, was there just absolute banshee levels of screaming from inside the wind tunnel? Because if so... 💯 accurate.
