@snipe.lol stumbled across this and hadn't seen it before, sorry if it's a repeat...

The goatse.cx shock image, but the man's gaping anus has been replaced with a ring of bread and appears in a cookbook with a caption referencing "pulling the bread from the center hole."

The hands appear to be from the original image.

I used this meme on a friend's post about expensive gas and some magat came at me asking why we defended "sleepy joe" when gas was expensive then I'm like "because Biden didn't start a war that literally limited the supply of oil?" Guy got big mad. And they call us snowflakes...

We like both. We had the most catlike of dogs before cancer stole her from us. She was excellent.

These memes are nice to toss at them where appropriate

Gadsden flag with a snake eating its own tail; caption reads "oops, I treaded on myself"

Gadsden flag; the snake has a red MAGA hat on its head, a red ball gag in its mouth, and a leash. Caption reads, "tread on me, daddy"

It's a goddamn winter wonderland over here. I got to do a bunch of doughnuts and drift around some corners on empty barely-plowed roads

These memes cover it nicely

Pardon the filthy tub (we need a new tub mat), but this is the only time she wants to be petted, and it's mostly just to try to get you to play more... She loves to have paper on the floor to hide in & pounce on.

I don't have a lot of followers so I doubt this will go far, but: we have an adopted shelter cat (they think 4-5 y.o.) that only wants to play. Constantly, regardless of how much she was just played with previously. The only time she wants love is when you're on the toilet. 🤷‍♂️ How to improve‽

Welp, this is broken (at least in ios26). Or the help text is poorly worded... I am trying to make it hard to accidentally invoke the camera when grabbing phone from pocket. Clicking camera button 2x in a screen-off state is launching the camera. 🤦‍♂️

I'm open to a key as well but thought for a relatively low security concern the convenience of a combo might be nice. Maybe a 5-wheel to make sure someone who wants in is really serious. Someone with tools will just cut the latch hole (see bottom)...

Realized that I never told BSky about our new "secondhand" cats. Pepper (Potts) [tuxedo] and Tony (Stark) [gray/tawny tabby]. They've already brought a huge amount of joy back to our home 🥰 (We were pet-less for about a year)

@neorsd.org So it looks like some changes have been made, but your "bill coming soon" emails are *still* being marked as spam by Gmail. Culprit seems to be lack of (or invalid) DMARC record at this point. Don't know what's up with {ZIPCODE}, and they've had my first name wrong since the beginning.

Screenshot from Google Workspace / GMail account showing "NEORSD eBilling: Bill will be ready soon" notification being flagged as spam by Google. Identifying info largely censored, but first name visible to show misspelling as "BRAYDEN"

Google detailed delivery info showing DMARC: FAIL

@linusmediagroup.com here's another great thing for Linus to rant about - in the year 2025, how is this the only "official" wired laptop NIC from Apple? Where's a TB3+ NIC using a decent (not-Realtek) interface? Ideally 2.5/5, maybe even 10Gb-capable, and not overheating/buggy AF

An Apple 1Gb Thunderbolt 2 Ethernet adapter, daisy chained to an Apple TB3 to TB2 adapter. Each end of the adapters is labeled with black marker. The entire monstrosity is nearly 1 foot long.

More specifically, fix your DKIM and DMARC for your outsourced sendgrid mail blasts. They should have help documents explaining how to do this. Someone will need access to your DNS hosting and probably some settings page in Sendgrid to make it all happy.

This is from a LONG time ago, but it still makes me giggle He was trying to say "your Konica Minolta" (copier/mfp)...
