How could it ever?

I am also kind of enjoying mine, maybe? Sorta? It sucks at night which kind of curtails my fun a bit

There is just something about big dumb Queensland afternoon sunlight.

And I can thirdly assure you that if you think I’m giving some random company a face scan or a photo ID you can absolutely get in the bin.

Please sort yourselves out @bsky.app

Readers, I can also assure you that none of the three cards I tried shows a declined transaction.
Another screenshot that says: “Enter your credit card to verify your age Stripe will authorise (but not charge) a small amount on your card to confirm the card is valid. Your card will not be charged.” Then there’s an error: “The request has been declined. Please try again with a different card.”

Just went to see if I have the age assurance dingus (and I do), and clicked on my birth date thingy to see what I had in there. Readers, I assure you I did not recently change my birth date. on here.
Screenshot from my profile page: "You recently changed your birthdate. There is a limit to how often you can change your birthdate. You may need to wait a day or two before updating it again."

Furthermore: I finally spent a couple gift cards I’d been sitting on and have joined the Charmera gang. I got the black one! #ShittyCameraChallenge
A tiny Kodak Charmera charging on a ISB-C cable. The camera itself is only about twice the size of the cable’s head. My cat putting his paw on the Charmera camera.

For the #shittycamerachallenge I present the v1 Flashback camera! We’re talking 4 megapixels of resolution, 0 focus, 4 film sims, 27 shots per session, and a suitably hideous flash. It has a janky app that seems to make no one happy and by default it makes you wait 24h for your photos to “develop”.
My black and orange Flashback camera held in my left hand. It resembles a late 90s disposable.

Baxter’s review of Pokemon Legends Z-A:

A) good to sit on
B) catching them all is relevant to his interests

I don’t know if I’d call this a timeline cleanse, per se, but it is definitely SOMETHING for your timeline

Apple Health would be able to make a more accurate guess if it asked Apple Wallet what day I spend $50 on cheese. It'll be no more than 48 hours after that.

On the plus side I do get to live with the world’s greatest and most soft Baxter Cat.
Baxter, who is a large grey and white tuxedo cat, is lying on my front. This photo is from my perspective. He has his paws out to make bread on my boobs.
