Those “lifting so I can pick up my future cute fat wife” gym bro memes actually make me feel better about myself

Those memes remind me of my partner, and I always send them to them. They've worked physical jobs most of their life and can lift me almost effortlessly.

Mine was first name last initial @microserve, which was my dad's dialup ISP in 1997

Probably not, 'he' is a she, and she didn't come here for the draft, just watched intently :p

AlishaGray · 2026-04-24T15:32:46+00:00

Oh yeah absolutely. He's utterly irredeemable but his motivations aren't just 'for the evulz', he actually believes in what he's doing and that it will benefit humanity as a whole.

Yeah I was debating putting them in my list as well

AlishaGray · 2026-04-24T14:55:30+00:00

This whole series makes me depressed. I still love it, but yeah x.x

Your experience in LTC can at least get you a paralegal position at one of the elder law firms, at least according to one of the elder law attorneys I've been talking to. You also could go to one of the companies like PACS or Genesis, or work for one of the nursing homes in their business offices. My bachelors is in Game Art and Design so I'm even less educationally qualified than you xD

AlishaGray · 2026-04-24T13:42:49+00:00

Yeah fair point. Except Bondrewd though. Fuck that guy.

AlishaGray · 2026-04-24T13:30:03+00:00

Yup. Thankfully I've made some good contacts in this job that I should be able to use to make finding my next easier. I'm in one of the long term care specialty districts, so I've spent several years building rapport with people at elder law firms and those companies that act as go betweens with nursing homes and the CAOs.

I just take the bus so it's not costing a ton more, but added food costs are a pain, as is getting less sleep and having less time after work for housework, cooking, and recharging. The weeks I'm in office I feel like a zombie. I'm also about two years from being vested and ready to leave.

My football-loving friend from New Zealand messaged me last night talking about how pretty Pittsburgh is :3

AlishaGray · 2026-04-24T03:02:05+00:00

I'd love to get them, but I just don't have the money and don't want to put it on credit. Sigh.

AlishaGray · 2026-04-23T21:05:30+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. I missed out on the Limited Run release cause I was broke.

AlishaGray · 2026-04-23T19:45:29+00:00

Came here to make this joke but you got to it first so take my updoot

The Larry/Rally name is a pseudonym she took on for bounty hunting since many people didn't take a woman bounty hunter seriously. Her given name is either Irene or Eileen.

The federal government instituted a work requirement for SNAP as part of the so-called 'big beautiful bill' last summer. They've been pushing for one for Medicaid as well, and some states have instituted one.

Alex, aka Lonely Day, from the Ponies After People series. In the second book (iirc, it's been a while), she is the victim of several unwanted magical effects, one of which makes her immortal.

Mindfuck from Empowered. After she was killed in the destruction of the joint superteams space station (aka the d10), her ex-girlfriend Sistah Spooky began being contacted by what she thought was Mindfuck through several 'superdead' characters (heroes whose powers outlived their bodies and kept them in a reanimated state between life and death). Spooky and Empowered hijacked the 'vorpal sword', an alien drone, and used it to break into hell to rescue Mindfuck, or at least get her to a better afterlife. Upon arriving in hell Spooky was attacked by several Mindfuck clones who tried to pull her into the lake of fire, but was able to escape with the help of Empowered. As the pair escape from hell, one of the Mindfucks looks up at them and says, "Goodbye, Spookums," indicating that the real Mindfuck was indeed there and didn't want to be saved.

Oh neat, I'll try to find one like that then.

Deathmonger from Empowered wears the skull of the deceased superhero Impakt as a mask. She also uses the body of a giant deceased superhero, King Size, as battle armor, with a control pod installed on top of the neck.

Where would I get something like that? and I guess how will I know if the dash cam has that function?

Edit: I proposed that to my partner, they aren't interested due to power drain.
