I now need a vantablack cape big enough to completely envelop my body.

Chris Miller @thelittlepakeha.net · 1h

haha. I only have windows on my gaming PC that I only use when my symptoms are at their most mild so for the most part it doesn't really matter which version as long as the games run.

lol someone in stream chat was joking about still being on W8, so you're winning there.

Chris Miller @thelittlepakeha.net · 1h

Same for me. The knowledge of long covid in NZ is extremely low, so even if I wasn't seeing a different doctor every time I need to renew my prescriptions because our health system is being actively dismantled by the government I'd be on my own to manage the symptoms, including brain damage.

it doesn't sound like he's AT ALL at risk of losing it either, this dickhead is upset that it's sitting in a jewelry box. like, a specific safe place where his uncle can check on it if he wants to and then keep leaving it there.

she was probably 14 when the show started....

Chris Miller @thelittlepakeha.net · 2h

apparently the main character of this show is 15. I tend to just assume they're around 16-18 (especially since some of the shows last a few years in-universe) but still, good lord. no wonder she still thinks sex is gross.

asking librarians to remove 30 copies of your book is true commitment to the bit, I salute you

I had to suffer through a semester of macroeconomics, the most soulless discipline I've ever encountered in my extremely varied studies, in order to have a grasp of even more complicated stuff as part of my Social Policy degree, and the government just takes a shit all over basic economic sense.

but in most people's opinions it doesn't matter because her father died a hero saving the country and it was his dying wish. So now they have to break up so he can marry his ex.

Chris Miller @thelittlepakeha.net · 4h

this guy who's engaged to the main character would take her back and marry her because he trusts that family not to misuse his resources and troops etc. To be fair, he didn't know that the guy had gotten re-engaged....

Chris Miller @thelittlepakeha.net · 4h

He broke up with her which they were both happy about and got with the main character. The ex-betrothed got with a guy who turned out to be a traitor to the country and basically her whole family died either fighting him or being straight up murdered by him. Her father's dying wish was that

Chris Miller @thelittlepakeha.net · 4h

This show has decided to break up the main character and her fiance in what, to modern perspectives, is one of the most bonkers ways possible. You see, he used to be betrothed to a girl from a military family that he didn't get on with because she was domineering and had a temper.

accounts that do chargebacks and cancelations via the bank. There are places where you'll never be able to use your card or even your account again because it's considered compromised. And the bank can't cancel it for you without it being seen as a chargeback. They don't have your account details.

Chris Miller @thelittlepakeha.net · 4h

Trust me, everyone definitely does not look at their bank account. Ideally both would be options, but if you have to pick one then canceling via your bank account should generally be the last option because it's the only choice when fraud was involved so many payment systems are set up to flag

Advice from Ancient China: only vulgar people prefer cold drinks and refreshments in hot weather, which can damage the spleen and stomach.

Chris Miller @thelittlepakeha.net · 8h

I feel like all ongoing payments should have to actively remind you a couple of days beforehand that they're going to be going out so you have time to cancel them if desired. like why isn't that a law.

Chris Miller @thelittlepakeha.net · 9h

lol that was so funny

that rebuttal just makes me think we should have MORE contaminant reporting. I would like to know ALL of the foods that have lots of lead in them, please.

The president (or maybe not president) of Madagascar—a radio DJ who overthrew the island’s yogurt kingpin in a coup d’état—just fled the country in a French helicopter after Gen Z protests. I wrote about the most interesting island you know nothing about, with bonus pictures of me with lemurs:

The yogurt kingpin, the radio DJ coup, and the most interesting island on Earth

Madagascar is a fascinating island home to 30+ million people. It's also home to bizarre, volatile politics that virtually nobody knows about. And the president just escaped on a helicopter.

You know, I'd love to hear a rendition of someone playing a flute to whatever tune the actress is *actually* "playing" considering she appears to be holding it to her mouth and randomly moving her fingers while a soundtrack plays.
