I’m glad you’re around, Alyaza! I’m bummed that cohost is shutting down, too, but I’m not surprised. Your website looks good, I like it!

My week has been pretty shitty, as usual. I’m really sick of this awful, useless brain and body I’m stuck with and the horrible, unhealthy environment I’m stuck in. I wish humane euthanization was an option. But, it’s not. I don’t want some poor, innocent person to have to find a body and deal with the trauma of it; that wouldn’t be fair to them. So I’m stuck. Life is hell and I’m tired. Tired of being useless and miserable and broken. Bleh. There’s so much more I want to get out, but my poo brain won’t turn it into words.

I wish the world was better and so many undeserving people weren’t suffering. I hope things get better for everyone here who are having difficult times and I wish I was able to respond to everyone directly.

I’m so sorry you’re having such a difficult time. I wish I could fix it for you! I hope your brain eases up on you soon and things improve for you ASAP.

I feel like there’s a lot more I want to say, but my brain is a turd and I can’t find the words. I really, really feel for you and you’re not alone, although I know it doesn’t make it suck any less. You deserve better. I hope you’re doing your best to be kind and understanding to yourself as you would with a beloved friend (but goodness I know how difficult that is/easier said than done!) 💖💖💖

Ooh, this looks like it could be nice. Thanks for mentioning it!

Microsoft fired its entire QA team 10 years ago, and shifted the responsibility for testing onto developers. They also got rid of their dedicated hardware lab where software would be tested on many different hardware combinations.

That…makes SO much sense and explains a lot! Thanks for mentioning it.

Lots of Ugly Kid Joe! Especially their newer stuff from after they got back together. Soooo goooood!

Once again I find myself thinking, “Dammit, Google!”

Thank you very much for the text summary, I really appreciate it :)

As the WOATest WOAT, I’ve got the other end on lock! We’re killing it, buddy!

Ha!

Just in case it makes you feel any better: I’m a native English speaker who always aced the reading comprehension tests back in school, and I read it the exact same way. Lol! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. :)

Of course you do.

I’m not who you were talking to, but thank you for this comment. You’re so very kind and it’s beautiful. You’ve helped me and I appreciate you so much. You totally rock! 💖

Hiya! Welcome to Beehaw! We’re happy to have ya :) 🐝💕

Yikes! Thanks for sharing this, OP.

Things are…bad. I’m so tired of existing in this broken, useless body & brain 🙃

I’m right there with you with every word. It’s so hard to be kind to myself, lol. I feel for you. I hope the funk you’re in passes very soon and you’re able return to your healthier habits quickly and without too much trouble. I know how hard it is. Much love to you! 💖

Lol! That reminds me of how (when AOL was thing and I was probably way too young to be on it but would use it to talk to family) my mom had me type out and send “I bought a bunch of cars and RECTUM!” via email or AIM out of nowhere to random family members with no context, even though I had no idea why that was funny, but she thought it was hilarious. Which is pretty damn funny looking back!

I love this type of thing! There’s also:

“Guess why?”/“Chicken thigh!”

“Guess who?”/“Chicken poo!”

As a kid I also came up with “Guess when?”/“Chicken shin!” “Guess where?”/“Chicken hair!” and “Guess how?”/“Chicken COW!!” but those may not be quite as good, hahaha.

I hope they reply (and that I remember to come back and check again so I can see it,) I’m very interested, too!

Ooh, I looked it up and it sounds interesting. I look forward to figuring it out and experiencing it for myself, thanks! :)

I found this page that says they removed that feature on mobile for some reason (ugh,) but if you scroll down there’s a possible workaround that may work for your purposes. You could swap out the Firefox shortcut on their home screen with an ‘open Google(.)com in Firefox’ shortcut.
