We have a computer repair shop in my town that does not do computer repair. Ask them if they can fix something, the answer is always “we don’t do that.” Even simple shit like screen repair on cell phones, which they have signs on their windows saying they do. “We don’t do that.” My landlord owns the local radio station, he says they’ve tried to get them to do computer repair for them. “we don’t do that.” Factory I worked out tried them. “We don’t do that” Friend needed keyboard repaired on laptop. “We don’t do that” I’m so convinced at this point that whenever I meet a local business owner I ask them who they use for any computer repair, and it’s always the same answer as to why they don’t use this one place, that’s a big store, in the only strip mall in town. They only have one dude in the store, who’s constantly got some right wing radio or YouTuber on. There’s no other employees, no reasonable way they’re affording the outrageous rent for such prime real estate. There aren’t many businesses in this town, and almost all of them use someone from the bigger city 35 minutes away

On top of all of that, there used to be a Mexican grocery store in town (in the same parking lot, in fact) that never actually sold any food, and would always say they were closed if you walked in. They got shut down because they were apparently part of a group that was bringing in undocumented workers. The dude who owns the computer repair place is the cousin of the guy who owned the Mexican grocery store.

I will never forgive you for giving in to my request. I need healthy boundaries set for me!

Sigh… Ruin my brain, please. I don’t know this one.

I mean, I guess it depends on where he’s keeping his phone while nude. He might enjoy a little nude pickpocketing, if he’s open minded, and the pickpocket has sufficient lube

I literally came here to post this same gif!

Really it depends. Truck fucking can be way more fun, if you can find somewhere to bend over the tailgate while getting railed. It’s really quite exhilarating. But if you’re in the cab, van is definitely better.

That’s hilarious. And that 5th grader is better at drawing (and has better handwriting) than me. Lmao

Iirc, she specifically said she was sorry for the picture, and sent an explanation. I just pretended I never got it

What’s the one on the bottom right?

Yeah, me and mama both share a tendency towards that. I have to be very careful around gambling, so does she.

And hey, thanks! Yeah, life is swell most days :) Hoping the same for you

Very true! Haha

When I was around 22 or so, my mom won a free tablet from a contest online, and got this absolutely terrible android tablet, even by then current (2012) standards. But it did have angry birds. She played so much angry birds that it had noticable grooves in the plastic of the screen from aiming. Lol

My dad (clean now!) decided to try crack at 40 and spent the next 15 years taking us on a wild ride of addiction and absolutely bullshit. I’d definitely take a game addiction over that. Lmao

Sadly, boob appeal is lost on me. But I’ve got some guy I’m still secretly hoping send me accidental dick pics lmao

I have a very dear friend that for a variety of backstory reasons I’m not gonna go into is very conservative sexually, and not at all the type of person to talk about her sex life. Virgin until she married. Her husband has the same first name as me. Shortly after they were married, she texted a picture of her, topless, neck down torso pic, with the words “I can’t wait until you get home, I love you so much”

This isn’t exactly the scandalous text that dry cleaner got, but for her this was extreme.

Luckily, I lived super rural at that time, and routinely had issues getting calls and texts. She texted a few hours later (I’m assuming after hubby got home and she realized what she’d done) and was like “oh my God, I’m so sorry!” And I just pretended like I’d never gotten the text or pics. Saved her a lot of worry about it, I hope

I live in a semi rural area. My closest grocery store is 10km, but it’s down the interstate, meaning even if I wanted to walk it, I couldn’t. Without using the interstate it’s about 15km.

My closest convenience store is only 7km, but the road i live on is not safe for walking (lots of blind curves, no sidewalks)

My nearest bus stop is 60 kilometers away, in my nearest city.

Nearest library is about 4 km past the convenience store, so 11ish klicks

Nearest train station is give or take 300 kilometers. We don’t really have any train service here.

Straight line distance from me to big Ben, give or take 6,500 kilometers

I mean, they’ve probably been responsible for enough deaths to count

You poor thing. I’m so sorry! That sounds genuinely terrible

My mom got so frustrated at how often I needed batteries for my walkman, my Gameboy, my other toys, and my little stereo I won at the library, that she replaced all of our batteries with a bunch of rechargeables she bought in bulk. All my friends were so jealous

I’m not a right wing religious conspiracy type, but NGL, that makes my 'OH NOES! MARK OF THE BEAST!" senses all tingly lmao

If you want to care for an animal that needs it, but can’t afford it, check with your local animal shelter. There are often local orgs that need people to foster Pets, and will provide food and vet care while they’re in your care. It’s an amazing feeling, helping these animals find their forever homes. But it can heartbreaking, too, so make sure you’re emotionally ready for it if you do it

High temps as in sub 90 degrees F, yeah. Not desert hot. Haha
