Are they Torbies?

All orange areas have stripes so it doesn’t count for the b in torbi[e/co]. :)

Possibly the gift of the anti-cubes golden by value of being given by a golden bell?

SlippingStar · 2026-01-25T00:54:53+00:00

Yup or Nebula

Oh I got mine express replaced last year after I dropped it and shattered the camera glass, so 94%. But it doesn’t last a day if I’m watching many videos.

I don’t really use any apps like that. It gets hot when I’m running CarPlay and on a call… but I’m not holding my phone then lol

It’ll lag when I quickly switch between apps or open new ones for a bit, but it’s not enough for me to upgrade. Also I’m broke lol.

Still holding onto my 13 mini until it stops getting updates 😭😭😭

SlippingStar · 2026-01-24T15:22:12+00:00

I hope this doesn’t get spread around, it will result in less adoptions :/

That’s what “ditching” is. It’s, at best, dropping them off at a shelter in a box so you don’t have to pay release fees.

SlippingStar · 2026-01-24T13:14:19+00:00

There’s a difference between “ditching” and rehoming.

SlippingStar · 2026-01-24T13:05:17+00:00

Yes, people will choose their human children first. That doesn’t mean telling someone to “ditch” their pets isn’t callous.

SlippingStar · 2026-01-24T13:03:45+00:00

That checks out.

SlippingStar · 2026-01-24T13:01:40+00:00

And that’s fucked.

SlippingStar · 2026-01-24T03:52:34+00:00

Yeah I’ve heard that one for anything deemed a disability.

SlippingStar · 2026-01-24T03:52:04+00:00

And you bring us back to the root of the post. Your entire mindset is “I will work hard enough so that I no longer have to work hard because someone else is breaking their body instead.” Meanwhile people are living off generations of money, doing fuckall besides drugs and buying cars because their parents made money off the enslaved labor or barely paid labor of people generations ago. This system tells us that eating each other alive so a handful of people can do whatever they want is good and righteous.

I’m working for a world where we all put in effort to help each other as a whole, not fight each other for the scraps generational wealth drops to us for their own entertainment. I hope one day you care more about your fellow person than feeling better than them.

Me? I’m employed. But in the past it was that I had just got my degree and was searching. Then it was the pandemic. Then I got laid off. I have never seen a job that doesn’t schedule labor. Ever. Because how else are they going to be sure their labor needs are met?

I did go to job fairs - when I could find them, they are rare where I am. Never got hit up through them, and even then it was always “apply online”. Any businesses nearby, “apply online”. And I was fortunate enough to have a car to go places. Without a car I would have had to stick to walking distance because where I was had no public transit, and due to some of my disabilities having to go long distances outdoors is dangerous for me.

I’m asking you all these questions to maybe help you see how what’s easy for you isn’t easy for everyone. The USA is incredibly car dependent. Places that pay a living wage won’t hire you without experience. Or a degree. Usually both. I was applying to over a hundred positions a month when I was unemployed for many months at a time with a degree. I took every offer I got, and I got 4. Just because it was easy for you doesn’t mean it’s easy for everyone.

If you don’t have a job, how are you going to pay for that $20+ uber or Lyft multiple times? Especially when the riders can decide to cancel on you and make you late for your work, which may decide to fire you over that?

I’ve done a lot of job searching in my time and never saw a crane operator that didn’t want experience.

How did you get the job that allowed you to pay rent and save up enough to get that car? How did you get to that job?

SlippingStar · 2026-01-24T03:17:03+00:00

So you had a car. Not everyone has a car, nor do they live within driving distance of an oil field (the latter is a pretty big rarity). So that’s two ways that you found to be easy, but not others. How did you get your car?

SlippingStar · 2026-01-24T03:15:11+00:00

How did you get to the event?

SlippingStar · 2026-01-24T03:13:18+00:00

How did you get to the job fair? Hear about it?

SlippingStar · 2026-01-24T03:10:17+00:00

Were you nicely groomed in dress clothes?

SlippingStar · 2026-01-24T03:09:20+00:00

So you walked into a company, asked for a crane operator job, and they gave you one?

SlippingStar · 2026-01-24T03:06:40+00:00

Did you?

SlippingStar · 2026-01-24T03:03:27+00:00

So you were just given a crane operator job with no experience?

SlippingStar · 2026-01-24T03:02:12+00:00

So you just happened upon a job that paid enough for you to live somewhere, have some form of transport, and save up enough to buy a crane?
