Last Notes npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye I forgot to mention that it's a six-week interview process for a "fast-paced environment". Because everyone thinks their environment is fast-paced. Makes them feel special or something. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Things are faster in Texas. https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/116/722/136/120/612/976/original/b326b2a2537a821e.png npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye What's the best podcasting 2.0 app for Android? The main feature I want is auto-download when I open the app. I don't want to have to manually check each show. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye My new phone is here! Time to move from iOS to Android. Which means I have to get a Google account. I've resisted getting one up until now. At least the tracking will be limited to my phone. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Thoughts on geography... If you are in Ottowa, and drive 14 hours south, you'll be in Florida. If you drive 14 hours west, you'll still be in Ontario.

Not a religious person, so a little vague on how Christian heaven works outside there's a bouncer and some harps. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye No one?

You don't like baroque? You don't like opera? You're just racist. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Okay, thanks! I had all the job requirements, but they were kind of vague, so my neighbor's cat might have also met them. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Can anyone explain to me what this job does? The details look like a coding job, but I don't recognize the terms in the job name: "We are currently seeking an experienced SOE3 (File & Object) to support high-impact datacenter migration initiatives for an industry-leading client." npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye OMG he talks. He talks and talks and talks when he's on the right subject. I'm not always interested, but I let him get it all out to spare the rest of society. Back in the day he would have been diagnosed with Asperger's, so it's not super severe. Just enough to be a problem at times. Super weird about food. He has friends, worked a few years before going back to college. Is pretty good about self-regulating now. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Routines and avoiding surprises. The other thing is down time. We figured it out before we knew why it worked. Sometimes he would be having a great time with friends and then suddenly lose his temper. I'd put him in time out until he was ready to be chill. Turns out he was overstimulated and failing to cope. Down time let him regain equilibrium. Letting him decide when he was ready gave him room to stay longer. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye I don't know much about those two states. Decades ago I was in Washington for a party, and a bunch of us trooped down to the sheriff's office to get a CCP. It was a form and a fee back then. Probably pulled in a nice bit of cash from out of towners with very little effort. Don't know if you can still do that. Bit of trivia on Washington state: large portions of it are designated a rain forest, just not a tropical rain forest. Those parts are gorgeous. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Over in D.C., military bases are no longer gun-free zones. Banning guns on a military base is an idea that makes no sense. You know who is on base. If you don't trust them, kick them off base or out of the military. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/04/hegseth-signs-order-restoring-second-amendment-rights-military/ npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye West Virginia split from Virginia due to ideological differences, and that split has been very wide lately. They eliminated some government commissions and expanded constitutional carry to 18-20 year olds. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/04/west-virginia-expands-constitutional-carry-18-20-year/ npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye My son is mildly autistic - just enough that people who don't know the signs think there's something wrong, and people who do assure the first group it's okay. (He once almost got in trouble at a gun store due to sperging out. Luckily one of the staff worked with autistic kids and told the other stuff TJ Jr. was just really happy.) Knowing what's wrong with him has helped us work out better ways of doing things. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye I actually am German. I took the German or Autistic diagnostic and I'm apparently just German. Kant would approve. https://german.millermanschool.com/ https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/116/341/911/643/793/997/original/107a52e8c967f41d.png npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye J.D. Vance started strong, but I haven't seen much from him lately. It looks good that he was put in charge of the fraud team and the next week there were arrests in California. It's a nice contrast to Harris being in charge of the border and nothing changing. He used to do a lot more press, which I think he did well. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Paris syndrome (in Japanese: パリ症候群, Pari shōkōgun) is a sense of extreme disappointment exhibited by many individuals when visiting Paris, who feel that the city does not live up to their expectations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_syndrome npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye I know how this ends: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0414852 npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Whatever happened to Amway? People used to be everywhere selling that and trying to get folks to sign up. I haven't heard anything about in ages. I used to work with a guy who became an Amway dealer. I think you had to buy or sell a minimum amount each month and he always had this stuff that seemed one step below generic. I heard Amway cement cleaner was the best and tried to buy some from him. It was a hard work to convince him I just wanted a single box, not to become a salesperson. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Sometimes there's good memes at the end. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye He's really glad about it, but he's also annoyed because I do this a lot - he tries to get an appointment for something, and after he gives up I make a few phone calls and have him set up in the next day or two. Not sure how I do it. I just start reading all the small print, ask some questions, and suddenly he's on the schedule. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye In California, when there's a petition the government doesn't like, the first step is to claim all the signatures are false. I'm waiting to see if that happens here. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye They did it. Alberta secessionists have collected enough signatures to vote on leaving Canada. And if that vote is successful, Quebec is going to be super jealous. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/alberta-separatists-claim-enough-signatures-to-force-referendum/ar-AA1ZQnbZ npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Many years ago we had a cat who liked coffee. You had to keep an eye on your cup, or a paw would stealthily reach up and over the side, dip in for a soak, and Erika would happily lick her paw for the next hour. One time we had a mouse. We explained to both cats that this was unacceptable, a poor job performance, and still we had a mouse. After a week, my ex told the cats that if one of them caught the mouse, that cat could have a saucer of coffee. Erika caught the mouse that night. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye You can send a kid to college, but you can't make him think. Same for adults. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye The new Harry Potter will be more representative #memes https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/116/304/834/614/346/682/original/deb540b849eab817.png npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye TBF, the famous bowl is pretty lit. It's like a chicken sundae - mashed potatoes topped with corn and gravy, topped with popcorn chicken, topped with cheddar cheese. Plus, a lot of KFC locations also serve Taco Bell, so you can disrespect two cultures at once. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Washington State is being investigated for housing discrimination: "Low-income borrowers qualify for complete loan forgiveness after owning the house for five years. To qualify for the program, applicants must have a parent or grandparent of black, Hispanic, Native American, Pacific Islander, or Indian descent. Persons of European, Japanese, Arab, or Jewish ancestry do not appear to qualify." https://www.hud.gov/news/hud-no-26-023 npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye I think some people just can't get enough of looking at toe fungus and follow him for the really dumb lulz. I was sad for at least several minutes when he didn't when the gayest person in the fediverse contest last year. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye I see folks are brainstorming how to bypass the Strait of Hormuz... #memes https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/116/287/504/014/750/798/original/956f4ae33293a6ea.png npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Tip of the day: If you are going to put meat on wooden skewers, first soak the skewers in water for about 15 minutes. This will prevent the meat from sticking and it will slide off easily every time. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye It's spring! That time of year when a young man's attention turns to... HOA violations. Yes, we're still getting temps in the 30's, but we had a day nice enough for someone from the HOA to write up everyone for not keeping up with the weeds that showed up the day prior. And don't say "don't live in an HOA". NC law requires them in 90% of neighborhoods. Probably so the government doesn't have to maintain the roads, etc. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Mom in the middle is wearing what we used to call "a Polish brassiere". npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye But think of all the lesbians you could meet with an Outback! npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Lots of cabbage for sale everywhere today. And it's going to stay on sale because no one likes cabbage. You can chop it up and hide it in things, or use it to hold tasty things, but no one wants just a bunch of cabbage. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye I saw a Trump "I did that" sticker on gas pump today. People forget how high it was not that long ago. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye I prefer science fiction. Hit me with your best titles. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Oh! He also did "My Italian Bulldozer" which was an absolute delight. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye I read a few of the books a few years ago, and it says something that I still remember them (I go through a lot of books). As you say, not fast-paced, often witty, usually a good use of time. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye By himself, he was using more than two people. I bought him multi-vitamins and probiotic supplements. Maybe that's what they do? After moving out, he mentioned his new housemates buy unpleasantly cheap toilet paper, so I send him home with a 9-pack sometimes. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Okay NA.S. I've told you what books I'm reading / listening to. What's your suggestions? Fiction only. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Yeah, driving is a good time to maintain situational awareness. I'll give it a try in the car, and switch to Kindle if needed. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Thinking of trying the book version of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo". The movie was pretty intense, and I heard the book is twice as crazy. Might be a little much for commuting. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye With my mostly former housemate mostly out of the house, there are a lot of things we don't consume as quickly. For example, toilet paper usage has dropped by maybe two-thirds. What was that boy doing in there? npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Courtesy of Seatree #memes https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/116/222/589/880/630/682/original/5ce13dedccfb63cf.png npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Have an older relative who can't master talking into a phone? Let them go retro: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Y8JCYTC npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Sigh. Where's resting biatch face when you need it? npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye At the grocery store today, some random guy asked for help finding tuna. I get asked for help a lot, so I just roll with it (I had already been asked this trip by someone else if the store sold yogurt). What was new was that he went into a long talk about how Americans smile a lot, except in Texas. He was a Canadian from Italy. Or perhaps an Italian from Canada. He was born in Italy but was living in Canada. Except he was also spending a lot of time in the US, looking for canned tuna. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye British TV uses normal looking people, and I'm okay with that. Makes it less fantastical. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye I don't know how many of those Persians are still left in Iran. Many of them weren't Muslim and left after 1979. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye That is the gayest way to hold it ever. #memes https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/116/211/944/238/432/915/original/0024e216d7193159.png npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Of the folks I know who have gone into the military, not one has mentioned college. The price of college skyrocketed when the government got involved with student loans. Suddenly there was no cap on what schools could charge. Does it really cost $6K/student for four months of buildings and instructors? No, but colleges can charge it and spend it, so they do. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye They already did Apple. The verdict was that Apple could force users into its store, but it couldn't force sellers into its payment system. This means that Apple can require you to download games and DLC only from the store, but if you buy an add-on, Apple must let the developer sell it to you from the developer's website or other source. You can buy some things off the PlayStation network already, so not sure if the situation is identical. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Snopes is pretty left wing. If they couldn't find any evidence, there isn't any. If you would like, I could post links to other debunkers who all say the same thing: there are no court records, and the rumor came from a single person with no proof. If you have anything that would lend this rumor credence, feel free to share. Otherwise, you are just being a useful idiot. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye One of my relatives got all groceries delivered, then suited up with the home hazmat kit before going outside to wipe down every single item with anti-bacterial wipes. Normally smart guy, Republican, does IT contract work for the Navy, lives in a slightly conservative part of the state. Not sure what happened to his brain for that period. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye Looking for good recipes for wings in the air fryer or oven. Nothing too spicy. npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye I am not a drug wholesaler, so I wish reports of drug seizures used measurements that meant something to me. Like number of doses, or pounds, or even volume. But $3.4 million could be enough for a weekend with P. Diddy, or enough to kill the entire country. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/texas-dps-seizes-3-4-million-worth-meth/ npub1h94648pz9g26dusfgtxkudkwlmlx4twy7t6qhgunvt7l44yhn5lqm6m03n TJ of the Side-Eye My son went to see some local punk bands tonight. He says about a third of the crowd was trans. Someone was passing out fliers advocating the abolition of gender. He said he read the paper twice and still doesn't know what that is supposed to mean.
