The straightest thing I've ever done actually wasn't marrying a cis man. It was choosing Cullen as a romance partner in 2/4 Dragon Age Inquisition playthroughs

I learned that Sephora is now partnering with influencers from an ad that asks, "did you ever want someone who knows their beauty products to tell you what to buy from Sephora?"

Yeah, I thought that was your underpaid sales associates you expect to have encyclopedic knowledge on endless products.

The "Imma keep it creamy wit u" TikTok guy (Steve Bridges) suddenly passed away. RIP to a man whose bit character perfectly embodied the type of adult loser present at almost every party I went to between ages 14-19.

You are all a bunch of sick freaks
I stumbled onto this subreddit looking for tips on running a basic Plex server, and holy shit, you people are insane. Instead of finding normal humans, I find complete psychos debating ZFS configurations like they're discussing fine wine. "Ah yes, this RAIDZ2 has subtle notes of data integrity." You are all a bunch of sick vitamin D deficient freaks.
I actually work with and manage multiple Kubernetes, mission critical infrastructure that actually matters. I spend my entire day working with containerised applications, and what do I find when I load up Reddit? Ansible playbook writing maniacs trying to automate their light switches. You are all a bunch of sick freaks who probably dream in YAML and wake up in cold sweats wondering if you forgot to enable that cron job
The worst part is how you enable each other. "Hey guys, just finished my basic home automation setup", and then you post a system diagram that looks like the blueprint for a nuclear reactor. Fourteen Docker containers just to manage a suite of internet of things connected shitware. You celebrate each others descent into madness with vomit inducing comments like "Nice setup! Have you considered adding Prometheus monitoring?" You are all a bunch of sick freaks, you make me ill.
And the money you guys must spaff away... you've somehow convinced yourself that spending thousands on enterprise server equipment from 2012 is justified as it was originally 10x the cost. And then you refer to it as "your little setup". "Oh this? Just my Dual mirrored RAID 10 arrays with triple redundant UPS and backup diesel generator that kicks in if the power flicks for more than 3 milliseconds. You know, for my Linux ISO collection" Meanwhile your electricity meter spins so fast it could probably generat its own electricity. You are all a bunch of sick freaks, and you need help.
I take solace in imagining what your home lives are like, I laugh as I imagine your families, having to sit through …

I love Final Fantasy. "Welcome to the Kingdom of Everlandia. We have wizards with guns. Ohh nooo the pope king is actually an evil spirit from the future named Glorb" Hell yeah let's go kill Glorb!!!!!

It's very bold. Meanwhile I still feel like a dick charging $40 for something made out of steel that takes 3 hours to make even at a proficient skill level.

Coming in hot here but I don't think you should be allowed to complain about people buying cheap jewelry online instead of from you, a small business owner, if your work is just cheap pewter chain and charms from AliExpress put together in 30 seconds that you're selling for $20-30.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

D'Angelo speaking out about the physical and emotional burden of maintaining a nearly unobtainable physique and sexy image as a Black male artist should be taught in labor studies. It absolutely impacted how I analyze pop culture.
