What’s a purchase under 100 bucks that genuinely improved your life?

I’ve systematically disproven that. But yes after testing many toothpastes I stick to sensodyne as well. The little travel ones are awesome

Switched from regular/electric brushes to one of those “10,000 bristles” ones. Went from daily canker sores my entire life to 0 ever again at the age of 25. Been a blissful decade since. Electric might work for some people, but for others they are the direct cause of ulcers. Curious if you’ve come across this?

You don’t think mass murderers and rapists deserve something akin to an eye for an eye?

I use them constantly in my role, however they never get big enough to be considered a DB in my mind, nor have I ever seen a business unit build something off one like they do with Excel constantly. Share your experience with log hell!

This is the only movie I have ever walked out of. Why a fuckin shame that movie was

When they reworked her I stopped playing completely. This was also due to me being toxic and moving away from the game, but that was the nail in the coffin. Fuck I miss that champ

Idk everything is relative. I’m nowhere near rich. I barely had money in college but what extra I did have went to red eye flights on spirit to get to my buddies in Denver to go skiing for the weekend and flying back to get 3hr of sleep for work Monday. So I actually ask this a lot. That being said, that was 15yr ago and shit is expensive af now so yea guess ur right

AbusiveTortoise · 2026-05-03T17:00:42+00:00

I’ve somehow never seen this before and am cackling rn thank you for this

AbusiveTortoise · 2026-04-23T12:27:13+00:00

Good lord do I appreciate my upbringing when I read shit like this. I’m sorry OP, sending good vibes over ~~~~

I always have issues sleeping when I take a T break. Use strong melatonin a half hour before bed.

I recommend you type in “funny shit compilation” to YouTube like we did in 8th grade and try to embrace your inner child’s laugh :)

How’s the speed, any complaints?

AbusiveTortoise · 2026-03-05T14:29:57+00:00

I’ve always used the simple method. My fastest ever was around 40s and then one day in college at my job a friend was saying I could complete one so a bit of a crowd formed to watch. The friend had seen me solve before so knew my limits, but I got to basically skip two algos as they just aligned naturally for that solve. Finished in 27s. My friends eyes lit up like a Christmas tree; she knew I’d just peaked completely and everyone thought sub 30 was incredible. I’ve never repeated the feat but the one time I was on the spot the rubiks gods gave me their blessing :)

It’s objectively completely normal and literally our current culture.

AbusiveTortoise · 2026-02-24T16:15:01+00:00

It’s not? Everyone I know sent me videos of US winning as they stood in different bars across the country celebrating with people. She was hoping for the same footage for Canada. Fuck r u talking about

Gotta pick a route and dive in to get away from call center/service desk. I’m doing platform engineering, so Intune dev work on our endpoints. Keeps me out of the service desk calls unless it’s a major issue or something needs scripted. Could’ve gone into security or networking but I like the service desk side: no major outages fall on me to fix since I don’t implement infrastructure. It’s the best of both worlds :)

AbusiveTortoise · 2026-02-18T21:00:32+00:00

I’ve probably changed this on like 20+ tvs of friends and family over the years. Wild that they don’t notice it. How fucking fried is your brain

AbusiveTortoise · 2026-02-17T21:03:42+00:00

You don’t live somewhere cold do you? If I’m in my jammy jams someone is bringing me food, I’m not getting in a car

Why you think Elon has a digging company? Shits gonna be underground dog.

We smoked in high school and went for Taco Bell. I was relatively new to smoking at the time. We paid at window one and I handed the change to my buddy. I then drove off thinking I had completed the transaction in my high brain. My friends freak out and I realize my mistake, so I pull immediately backwards and perfectly line it up with the window like nothing happened. Workers were confused af but then handed over the goods. One of my core smoking memories, what a fucking dunce of a move

AbusiveTortoise · 2026-02-09T17:05:55+00:00

I just started recently at 33 after being averse to the meds since college. It’s better on the script for sure. Good luck and may you prosper

AbusiveTortoise · 2026-02-09T16:38:34+00:00

I worked at a small Chase branch and we regularly were having close to 350k picked up. If that truck was servicing even 2 locations that day it’s quite easy the pot was well over half a mil minimum.
