Just got a call from a scammer trying to get my Google account. They sent an account recovery notification to my phone, but after they asked for the three digit code I had some choice words for them.

TIL there's no easy way to connect an HDMI port on the computer to a DP port on the monitor. It only goes the other way. I think I found an adapter though. Fucking $30 extra cost I didn't want to pay.

switched up my modules for my farming runs and got a huge boost in coins per hour. i was running GComp but moved back to Restorative Bonus to keep the goldbot in sync and I think that's the main difference.

Plex will give you an RSS feed for your watchlist (presumably so you can import it into a program that will automatically download the movies you put on your watchlist and bring them into Plex), but sadly there's no way to have Letterboxd's watchlist sync wtih your Plex RSS feed which would be cool.

Needed an HDMI->Displayport cable, just 6'. Went to Microcenter, it rang up at $45!! Both me and the cashier looked at it and wondered what the hell was going on. Turns out it was an 8k cable, total overkill. The 4k version (what I needed) was just $20.

was watching a shitty movie on a friend's amazon prime account and of course they have ads now and i just started to think about ads and the insanity that we have to be bombarded with them everywhere we go and in everything we do. the fact that there's always a company willing to pay is hell.

You mean the company that's currently being struck by its workers and the company that's currently being boycotted because of its terrible DEI policy rollbacks? Why not just call this the Chocolate Mint Racist Scab Frostie?
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

weird to call institutional investors illegal immigrants.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Here's John Fetterman complaining on CNN about how mean Bluesky is to him -- and how the far-left is way more "poisonous" than the far-right.

All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)” and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism
