I really need to get my ass to the Asian markets across town to get some aji no moto because these MSG prices are ridiculous at some of these other stores.

I don't think pop-punk ever dies just has its phases

Just staying in, applying to jobs, watching anime, have my dogs near me, and hot cocoa. Life is fine.

I may be freezing in my home at 60° inside/ 30° outside, but I can only think about the homeless and prisoners right now suffering from worse.

Okay, yeah a Chinese ROM phone more than likely won't work in the US or at least my current provider. Oh well, a great secondary device as my aging S20 FE will retire at some point this year.

Using the #Xiaomi Redmi 14 Pro+ and it's pretty solid so far.

I wish there was a modern version of the old Nokia N series devices like the N8010 and N900. A Linux based WiFi device that has a qwerty keyboard that slides out.

Cenk Uygur speaking at AmericaFest for TPUSA with Charlie Kirk is just insanity 🙄

Honestly bless the # torrent uploaders on #i2p and #retroshare

Maybe it's just me, but if I'm on YouTube and I'm recommended a video with less than 1000 views I'm typically going to watch it and give it a like, just so I can give it a boost usually.

Finally getting actual internet installed at the house so no more relying on a mobile hotspot!

Currently dealing with a headache and hoping some nice rest will ease it a bit.

I guess it really shows what I mostly use when I didn't even notice most of #Meta was down or had an #outage
