  • i just gave up after being:

    • permanently suspended for absolutely no apparent reason about a year ago
    • countless frivolous comment and post removals
    • being permanently suspended again on my new account for saying something bad about the united states

    it’s all VC crap now anyways, and huffman is a little bitch. go over there now and check out /r/popular or /r/all and it’s all bot reposts, bot comments, ai slop, and fucking “what movie/film/timeyoutookashit reminds you of this?” posts. they’re absolutely no good for any news any more, whether it’s media/grassroots/groundlevel/societal.

    i don’t understand how they think they’ll gain value when their goal appears to be to strip any and all of what provided any value in the first place: unfiltered human contribution and interaction.

    fuck reddit


  • it was covid lockdown. i don’t think i was the only one who skipped the odd laundry day.

    this was a whole different thing, though. i’d already lived here (i’m still in the same place) for three years without any issues. i’m not neurotic, but i do try to keep my place clean.

    or at least i thought i did…

    these roaches taught me so much. to this day, i still keep my organic waste in a bag in my freezer. i got rid of my coffee machine and switched to instant - explaining why would probably make you sick. i never leave dishes to “soak” any more.

    i’m telling you, it got bad. really bad. i talked to the super, and she said that someone moved in who ‘was from a different part of the world and is used to roaches’. like, what? it got to the point where i always had a fly swatter in one had and a bottle of windex in the other. i was killing 20-30 by hand every night. they weren’t coming over for food; they were so bad at the other apartment that they were coming there to scope a new place to live.


  • not to the roaches… i learned that the hard way a few years ago.

    during covid, i left a couple of cases of empty bottles on my kitchen floor and didn’t think anything of them for a month or so. that’s how i found out my neighbors had cleanliness issues, and the roaches found out they had a new place next door to terrorize. horrible experience - don’t keep your empties in your apartment.







  • I have two. I grew up near Toronto in the 80s. Both were CityTV movies. They used to do a thing. I can’t remember what it was called…

    1 - SPACEBALLS!!! (“F___! Even in the future nothing works!”)

    2 - Predator (there’s a line where Arnold says, “That’s one bad motherfucker.” They only censored the word ‘mother’. i was 8. best thing ever)
