Hi friends! We need your help 😥
Ngl, 2025 hit us hard in terms of finances, so we're doing a lil' donation drive.
Anything you can spare would be incredible. It'll go towards spec maintenance, training, and all the behind-the-scenes stuff that keeps us ticking.

Fucking Google Photos. I accidentally open it. It decides to sync all my photos from my phone. (I use onedrive and only have free gmail). So when I realised that (after my Gmail said that it has run out of room so I couldn't email anymore) I deleted the photos & it fucking deleted them off my phone

I have literally never seen that emoticon before in my entire life, AND I tried looking for it just now for my alt tag, but couldn't find it. Why would you choose such a random one to illustrate and define *what* an emoticon is?! Omg

It baffles me when Boomers accuse Millenials of being soft because we got participation awards as kids. Like, we were children. YOU gave us the participation awards we didn't fucking ask for them. Making fun of your kids for something you did that they had no control over is so penultimate boomer.
