I’m assuming you were going for “petty,” not rhapsodizing about the UI on the error.

I’m an old guy (started with Photoshop 5 – not CS5; 5), and GIMP has never felt like software trying to help me accomplish a goal. It’s the vi of image editors.

There’s a reason I’m still rocking CS6. Fuck you for wanting me to pay monthly.

Because of course they did.

I mean, I’m going to drop or sit on the thing in half that time. But allow a man to dream …

I’m of the same mind. I did make an exception for a Pixel 9a because, well, that seven years of updates starts from the day it went on sale, so shaving a few years off that for minimal savings didn’t seem ideal.

If one of my friends pulled what my dad did, we would no longer be friends. Simple as that.

Look, if you want to throw the door open and shout at me for shit I didn’t do, I should at least be getting laid (my ex may have been a bit violent and delusional).

Oh, I drink lots of beer while not wanting to call attention to my rave on wheels.

Pouring one out for Soyo … damn, were those some solid motherboards.

Yeah, she just opened it and realized it wasn’t a V8, so she put it back in the fridge.

I’m not happy he’s dead (though he was in pretty bad shape), but I’m now three weeks out and can allow for questioning.

It is not unique; it is nonetheless the reason I can’t figure out what the fuck is going on.

No, I had no interaction with said beer.

I am not going to go into further issues here.

My grandmother. It’s a European term. My ex is an Oma.

It represented a breach of prior trust.

Calm down. The phone jack isn’t coming back.

My god … the U.S. intervening in Central America? Where’s my fainting couch?

I mean, you have to come in through the garage. It’s that or the French doors on the storm cellar, and god only knows where you pop out from there.

Oregon has had a law on the books for decades that grocers need to price everything the same within a given region. This is part of how grocery circulars are practical. The added expense of printing a different flyer for each store (and then working with the paper to zone correctly, but single-copy is still going to be an issue) negated the increased income from store-to-store pricing that allowed for high margins in some cases.

I don’t remember the last time I looked at a grocery ad – wait, no, I do … it was May 2023 – so this is of less relevance as we transition to apps, but this doesn’t really seem to be about collecting personal data so much as “prices vary geographically,” which isn’t really news.
