Me grocery shopping today: well I want to eat chili this week but I think I have a bunch in the freezer; I’ll just buy stuff for sides

Would anyone like to guess how many servings of chili I have in the freezer

This whole thread.

“Oh no, someone might eat food!”

Good. That’s good.

“They might buy something they like.”

Cool.

“They might get a treat!”

Also cool.
There's something deeply disturbing about EBT/SNAP hate to me. Like just truly bone blanching shit.

I'm far from the first to say that Queen Demon is fantastic, but I will say I especially enjoyed [redacted] trying to flirt and [redacted] having no idea it was happening

noooooo my library card expired and I didn't notice, now how am I supposed to get my ebooks?

(good thing I was already planning on going downtown this weekend; I'll have to add another stop so I can prove to them I still exist)

It’s October 1, and so a bunch of my winter prep activities popped up on my yearly to-do list, but boy it feels weird to do things like ‘check stock of ice melt and order more if needed’ when it’s going to be 80 this weekend

There’s this spotted Great Dane I see waiting at the coffee shop sometimes, and that is just so much dog

why can't the democrat messaging on trans people be "no, we are not going to force children to undergo genital inspections in order to play sports"

very unfair that it's always the first 200 words of the day that are the hardest. couldn't we make it the last 200 words?

I would have liked it better if the 30 minutes of pouring rain we got this evening and my 30 minute daily walk happened in any other arrangement than 'at exactly the same time'

Because it is for work, I jumped the queue to work on photos for the Minnesota State Fair. But this one which doesn't have directly to do with work, I am sharing with you all.
Yes, this is butter carving.

this may have labeled my home state as new jefst, but at least it's not the fuzzy boundaryless mess happening in Appalachia that makes me worry it's falling into another dimension
My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.

my office is in the northwest corner of my apartment, and it always feels to me like it gets okay light, but I guess it's not enough light because every few weeks I have to take my keyboard out to a different room to get some sun and refresh the battery

It’s not summer until I wake up one morning to find I left the windows in the living room open overnight accidentally

This is spot on. I often say we shouldn’t ask authors where they get their ideas, but rather, “How do you make them stop??”
When people ask "Where do you get your ideas" I can only think "You mean you don't have them pouring out of you at all times like some kind of creative postnasal drip?"

Changing the sheets today, thinking that since it’s April SURELY I don’t need the flannel ones anymore, but I see we’re going to have lows below freezing this week so I guess flannel it is

Achievement(?) unlocked: distracted at the bagel shop waiting for my order and the woman handing them out just put it into my hands. ‘That’s you, right?’
