I use coupons, but a lot of them are "buy more things than you want, get an irrelevant amount of savings on each."

My smartphone (which I still consider "new," since I got it in February after 15 years of a dumbphone) offers to autocorrect "shit" to "shitsnacks."

I AM NOT JOKING.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's that Pam costume.

It's still raining, woohoo! Even better, I am home and do not have to go out again until tomorrow morning!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The t9 on my dumb phone defaults to "cunt" and has to be changer to "aunt."

I figure it was programmed by a radical lesbian or a British punk.

The thing is? I'm 99% sure I've never typed "shitsnacks" on my phone. IT JUST KNOWS.

Some of them will talk about how their grandmother once told them that they had some secret Jewish ancestry.

From what I've gathered in the articles I've read, it's sounds like it's often more like that extreme right-wing antisemite guy in ... Romania? I think, who recently learned his mother was born into a Jewish family, but in the chaos of WWII and the Eastern Bloc, his grandmother kept them passing as goyim for safety, and that it had been a big family secret that no one talked about.

Note: right wing antisemite has now embraced his heritage and is observant.

So I haven't even turned on the new computer. Maybe tomorrow. Have to remind myself how to use time machine to transfer everything. Also? The newer MacBook pros don't have a lock slot. Which is dumb. So I'm going to have to get some aftermarket bracket to be able to lock it up. Annoying.

Don't have the bandwidth to deal with it now. I suppose I could put it in that safe I NEVER BOUGHT.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I believe when you're setting up your new Mac, it will ask you if you want to restore from Time Machine.

I trust you, Tom! It's been 7 years.....

[link] This is what I got. Decided I didn't really need the bigger screen for the extra big bucks but memory and not as old, yes. And since I'm only slightly wireless, plenty of slots for my old usb criap to plug into.
