My late dog Wilson slept a ton, even when he was a younger guy. I think once a pet feels safe and loved, they relax and like to sleep a lot. That's my theory at least

External hardware and I don't know if I will ever walk the same again.

Both of my quadriceps tendons ruptured completely from both kneecaps, rendering me in severe pain and unable to really use my legs below the knee. Surgery happened this morning and is described as disabling.I am going to be bedridden for about 6 weeks with external hardware. See next post for pic.

They gave me a walker and told me there was "no medical reason" for my pain to be so high. After literally crying out and screaming, they admitted me to a hospital but also waited another day for the MRI I desperately needed.

One of the best Mario clips out there. I think that was like almost exactly 5 years ago now, jeez

Me too. One time he told Mario to "just get the fucking star dude" and Mario got the star. I think Lunarjump was somewhere in there too. Good times

Making one's political views a personality trait is so cringe. Especially in the workplace

Kids these days have it so easy

Unfortunately these days, games are no longer released in an optimized state. It seems lucky that it isn't just broken on release. I usually wait to buy games like this till like a month passes since release. I get that would put someone behind everyone else in a game like BF6 tho

I've been saying this for years and nobody listens to me

NOT NOW RICHMOND, WHO LET YOU OUT OF YOUR ROOM?

Oh that's good. Luckily, the older the laptop, the easier it is to find a replacement screen IMHO. But it's even better that you didn't break it.

Hopefully not, but depending on the type of laptop, the screen may be somewhat cheap and easy to replace. At work, if the screen is not behind a glass layer and not a touchscreen, screen replacements are the easiest repair we do.

Even though the cigarette thing is out of the ordinary, it is cool that they wanted to show their appreciation in some form

I worked in the dining room at a retirement community. We were paid a full wage and there was no tipping allowed. Instead, some residents would try to tip with cigarettes like it was prison contraband LMAO

I can only speak for myself because I did give myself tinnitus as a young person by listening to loud music. It's really not that bad. I'm just used to the ringing
