Like, sometimes previous renters will spill something down the side of the oven and you won't notice because it's right up against the wall / cabinet / fridge... if you can, pull them out a bit and check to see if there's anything you can clean.

Or rather, if a whole lot of other conditions were made to be true. I find the best strategies are the ones that rely the least on externalities and potentialities. Fewer points of failure, smaller attack surfaces. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3638 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: NSFW-content-mentioned │ └────────────────────────────────┘ @user-206 @user-1576 sounds like I should have spent more time there.

Food is so important, people grow tired of the same thing every day. They say an army marches on its stomach, and our stomachs these days are accustomed to variety, taste, and plenty. It would get better, give it time, and in time our wounds would heal. But wouldn't you rather persist in this timeline, the one that isn't doomed, and instead flourish in the ways inertia brings us? Capitalism must fall, of course, but it will fall of its own accord after we've done our best to maintain the world we live in. "better to be starting from scratch, than lose your path" ... Yeah, okay, true, but just like justice is its own reward, so too is hardship it's own burden. *you can't eat justice* No, but at least you aren't enslaving anyone. *they would be slaves still, without your patronage* Liberation for all comes later, I guess. First up is building a safe and stable home for us. *safe and stable... Like the one you have now? Like the kind the Democrats promise?* Yes, but ideological purity calls me to believe that slavery should not be accepted. It should not be something we condone. And yet they do, albeit indirectly, and so I am perplexed. *if you want good food, live in the country. Hence why all the suburbs are empty.* ... Anyway, 3am musings, gonna program a bit and go to sleep again... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/510 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── It's not sparkling reconnaisance if you're *fucking telepathic you stupid bitch* ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/511 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── That feeling when running a command on my laptop causes the fans to spin up on my desktop...! ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/512 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── Never write poetry in your sleep.

Just then, the moonlight appears, and the wherewolf's form begins to shift, as strangled cries turn into a cacophanous mess. The moment passes, and the wherewolf collapses onto the bed, exhausted. He rests there on his back for precious moments, before throwing himself to his feet and putting on his socks and sandals. Ha glances in the mirror. He straightens his tie. He goes to fucking work, again, just as the laundry dings. When he gets back, it smells musty, so he washes it again with bleach. *exhaustion cares not for form, only exertion.* The wolf collapses once more into bed, tired from a day of accounting. He thinks to turn on the TV, but he slips away before getting the strength to rise for the remote. In his dreams, there are children clutching at his skirt with big bright eyes begging him not to sleep. Not to dream. Not to feed. He brushes them aside as he always does, and fixes her makeup in the mirror. She glances back at them, quivering on the bed like a bear, a shark, a dinosaur, before she sweeps to her feet and goes out for a night on the streets, looking for a bar and a stranger to meat. The moon once more reaches it's zenith. He is awoken with a pang of humanity as his hunger transforms him back into an ape with lust in her eyes. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/514 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── Paying your employees more *makes them better workers*. An extra 2$ per hour might mean they can eat out an extra night, they might be able to afford a car, and they might be able to focus just a bit more without crying in their sleep about an unexpected bill. With less stress, employees perform better. They are more loyal. They work harder. Pay your employees more. They are your greatest resource. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3643 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── if you cannot rapidly reorganize, then you are not organized. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ |
