Wheeee! Full blown power failure in my house row a half hour before 2021 arrives! So wonderful! :P

Show thread

@arteteco Well, I'm busy enough binge-watching The Legend of Korra and dealing with half power failures in my house. And near midnight I'll have to comfort my cat too, because despite the ban on fireworks there's still fireworks anyway.

Ah, nothing better than ending 2020 with electricity trouble in the house.

Sure, why not. 😒

And of course tomorrow nothing will be open. So I'll have to contact the power company on saturday at the earliest. And that is a weekend. Yayyyyyyyyy... /s

@mur2501 No... I don't ask people randomly about those things, least of all grandmas. ;)

"Am I remembered, in your time?" the emperor asked.
"You are," the time traveler said.
"Good. I am having a huge tomb built for me. Does it still stand?"
"It does."
"And what am I remembered for?"
"That you built that tomb."
"Only that?"
"Only that, your majesty."

@aetios
Dat wordt een heerlijk hoopje straks. Pro-tip: als je een balkonplee hebt, eerst even wat wc-papier neerleggen, anders mag je lekker met de borstel aan de slag. 😋

@SuperDicq

Greetings from 2021!

It's all fine here. Everything is fine. It's a great year. We solved all the problems. There are no more problems because we solved them all.

It turns out capitalism works really well if you just let it run on automatic! Nothing needs to be fixed at all. It's like magic. Hypertechfinance cleaned up the glaciers in no time.

I would like to stress again, for the cameras, which are integrated into everything now, just how absolutely fine everything is, here in the future.

@mur2501 Maybe bingo apps? If it is aimed at the American audience... :P

@mur2501 Oh boy, it's started? Right, past noon here. It's bound to be new year /somewhere/!

@mur2501 I've spent a few years in the USA before and had an Indonesian roommate. :P And a shitton of other Asian ones. I don't think I know Indian people there. The closest I get is that I knew someone from Sri Lanka. :P

I'm also Indo-European. Family on my mom's side were raised in Nederlands-Indië, which was the name for Indonesia before they gained independence. So I am of Indisch origin (mixed blood Indonesian/Dutch). Some of my relatives are very visibly so. You won't see that at all in my siblings and me.

@mur2501 Yeah I was already wondering if you knew people in Indonesia. But I think I know more Indonesians than you do. ;)

Komodo dragons and water monitors look extremely alike from those images!

Lessee how annoying my cat is going be. He's not allowed outside today and tomorrow.

I never take risks during new year's eve, there are a bit too many morons around with illegal fireworks.

@mur2501 What? You're sending off an army of komodos on new year's eve to eat every American?!

Do you even have that many komodos? Do they even LIKE to eat Americans? Might be a bit too much fat!

@freemo I don't hang around in pubs anymore. All my buddies have moved on with their lives. From students to responsible adults now, so yeah.. Not seeing much drunkards lately. ;) So all I have now is vague memories and that I don't like dealing with people who think logic doesn't apply to them, heh.

Thankfully none of my friends are alchoholics. Those people always find some way to reason that they are, in fact, not addicted. It's amazing. One alcoholic I knew even told me he hid the booze in his underwear drawer but he certainly is not an alcoholic...
...
...WHY? Why the fuck would you do that? Unless you're an addict?! They just don't see it!

@mur2501

@freemo No clue, that is just my experience. :P The assholes are the ones who claim not to remember anything the next day. There are exceptions of course.

@mur2501

@mur2501 Bummer. :( I grew up in a household full with animals as kid. 2 dogs, 2 cats, even at some point 2 mice but they didn't last long... *eyes the cats*
