uh A tumblr post by the user wizardtwins: i think its funny that after you give blood, they keep calling you every once in a while to ask if you want to give more blood and i get it, blood is important and in short supply, but it just seems like hey... we heard you made more blood. can you... can you give us that new blood? that sweet sweet fresh blood? its been a while, jacob. we know you have it. we know you have the blood jacob A reply by tumblr user hexmaniacmareen: You are so full of blood jacob now youre just being selfish
Last time i donated blood, the untrained "phlebotomist" collapsed my vein by trying to force the blood to flow with these roller things on the IV tube. I had literal black and blue bruises for months. and they kept asking me for more...
Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren't interested anymore. Has anyone else ...
Picture of post from my Bluesky of a convo between me and a customer... {Convo between me and a customer today: "neat menu, i really like it." "thanks, I made it." -me "Really? How?" "I used Gim... and an online program, Canva to animate it." "Im sorry, Gim?" "Umm, GIMP. It stand for GNU Image Manip..." "GIMP?? Like the suit?" "No, not like the suit." why, gimp dev!? }

We just got a new employee at work. She is in her 60s and 100% computer illiterate. I had to give her training on how to use a mouse and how to click on bookmarks to open our shared sheets. She somehow deleted everything on one sheet the first day, but shes getting better. She doesn't own any computers and her phone is some no name model from 12 years ago. Im kinda impressed shes made it this far.
Hey, old habits die hard. Back in my day if you sneezed on a phone it would die, a sticker would turn pink, and you were out 600 bucks!
IDK if I'll ever take my (IP67?) rated phone in the water with me.
I had a therapist once who was like this. Would ask one or two questions at the start and then just shut up for the rest of the session. That doesn't work for me at all. If i want to hear myself talk about my problems i can just record myself on any given day. Sometimes you need feedback, not just some one to talk at. I ended up having "insurance problems" and never going back. Yes thats something i need to work on, shut up.
I switched months ago after some full screen pop up for Windows 11 took over my whole screen in the middle of me doing stuff. In a blind rage, i plugged my usb in and downloaded Pop. Did a full clean install and never looked back. There have been some hiccups, but nothing that couldn't be fixed right away.
It would force the US to pay for the value of those bonds and either default on the bonds by not paying (and losing any negotiating power on the world financial stage), Or loose about 31 Trillion paying out bonds to countries.
Edited pbfcomics.com "Making amends" comic, where an old american veteran is on death greeted by an angel and informed that he needs to make peace with everyone he's killed, there is a framed picture of him in military uniform and a framed stock image of an exterminator. After embracing an asian soldier, he realizes there's also a colossal swarm of wasps he needs to make peace with.
"It's not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn't have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It's about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn't. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs," she claimed in a social media publication.
Side note but this reminded me of it. Has anyone else seen people driving around with LED boards in their windshield that look like the Cars eyes? They take up like a third of the glass and are animated to ensure full distraction to other drivers. Im sure they are illegal but ive seen a few near me. I hate them.
It looks like a composite. Like they did the main image with AI then touched up some areas or something. It really gives off the slop vibe but not fully.
My conspiracy theory with this Greenland thing: Those in power now are deliberately destroying the world so it can be "rebuilt the right way". Greenland is in a position on the globe to become quite a pleasant climate. Once the ice melts it will be one of the best places on earth to live. Not to mention the huge amount of natural resources that will become available. Its also currently a politically isolated area, so when WW3 wipes out half the population it will most likely remain untouched. (Though tbf if trump makes moves on it that wont be the case). I don't think the current admin is even really aware of why Greenland is important, save for a few people who implemented project 2025. removes foil hat
Hey! I hate to have my first post here just asking for help, but Im a worried snail papa. My tank has been going for about 2 months now. Its 5 gallon fresh blackwater setup with 8 neocaridina shrimp and 1 mystery snail (as well as a half dozen bladder snail hitchhikers). Herbert the snail had some growth on him today when i got ...
Close up image of the side of Herbert the mystery snail. He has brown grain like clumps attached to his side. Second photo is zoomed out of first at slightly different angel. Third is a full tank setup showing a riparium 5 gallon nano tank with tannin rich water, serval pieces of drift wood, amethyst clusters and tons of live plants.
I was kinda afraid that might be the case (from pure embarrasment :P). I do think ive been feeding the tank too much recently so its very likely. I keep a piece of cuttlefish bone in the tank as well as some ground up eggshell in the substrate for calcium and water hardness. Water tests always show upper safe range for hardness and PH is constant around 7.8 with near 0 nitrate/ite. Im a worrier, so i just wanted confirmation i suppose. Thanks for the feedback :)
TY! <3
Its been awesome watching it develop. Even the little things like plants i thought dead starting to show themselves. Its always something interesting to watch!
For those who aren't familiar with the term, it means believing something that probably shouldn't be believed, or being influenced to believe something that's not necessarily in your best interests.
Is there any way to change the way a browser displays transparent images? Like instead of the checkerboard, could i have cats or that Jazz pattern from the cups of the 90s? Its so annoying getting these fake ones, there has to be a fix.
