half-dead weird green

I've been having a lot of feelings about the downfall of quality lately.

I ordered a pair of Dickies pants because pants are hard and workwear is usually reliable. When they arrived they were the scratchiest, most papery material--I can't actually call it fabric in good faith--and fit a full three sizes too small. A week later I found the same pair in a thrift store, dated 2017. These are actual pants. They fit, they're not made of asbestos. They're only separated by time.

There's no wood used in interior design unless it's a custom build. I have a set of wealthy relatives who live in a condo. The downpayment for it was likely more money than I will see in my lifetime. The floors and the cabinets are all still laminate. I know I will never see real wood in a building constructed after 2000. Every "apartment hack" I see online has this very conspicuous, flat appearance because of all the paint and contact paper required to make these builds look personal in any way. The only natural materials are in the furnishings.

I've been harping on this for years, but everything is shit, nothing is designed to work, and "growth" and "profit" are just euphemisms for cutting corners until things are unworkable.

everything is more expensive, and everything is getting shittier.

Those eyes make it look like a beanie baby.

when you are done with a tab you can close it. every browser in the world has a feature that lets you open recently closed tabs. also there is browsing history. need to visit a webpage often? may i introduce you to the bookmarks feature. there’s no reason to leave your tabs open. hoarder behavior.

OP I’m hitting you with a shovel

Anyway tag this with however many browser tabs you currently have. I have 40.

Thanks in part to you I now have a comprehensive categorization of types of people based on number of tabs they have open:

1-9: Kindred spirit. I am kissing you on the mouth

~10-25: Normal. This is more tabs than I would have open in most situations but it is not an unreasonable number.

~26-70: Woah there, partner. I don’t agree with this lifestyle but I understand it is normal for many people. Are you sure you need that many open though? Right at this very moment? Surely you can prune a few here.

~71-99: Okay calm down. You definitely don’t need that many open. When’s the last time you actually opened half of these, really?

100+: Official freak. This is too many. There’s no way you even remember which ones you have open. How are you supposed to find any of them?

1000+: Listen, I know I made a joke up there, I said “hoarder behavior,” but I think you may actually have a problem. With your browser tabs. You might as well have a maze of 50-year-old newspapers to navigate through to get to a youtube video. It’s time to re-evaluate the way you use the internet. I’m serious on this one.

no see the thing is I think he has a point

the fact that obama seemingly follows any rando that ever interacts with him on twitter will never stop being hilarious, considering it continues to give us amazing things like this

I am so irrationally mad about this headline. I know it's yahoo and I know it's a stupid topic but I don't care. I feel like you could once upon a time get a good feel of the news in an instant just by looking at the headline. the point of the news was to, well, get the news out! but now websites create clever little titles just vague enough to make people click (just to make sure it isn't their pop tart flavor!) because the end goal for news nowadays it to drive up ad revenue via clicks. negative news and vaguely manipulative headlines go hand in hand. and the stupidest part of this is that the flavor they're discontinuing is peach cobbler, not even anything established that most people would be familiar with. it only came out in 2021 and did so poorly it's already on the chopping block but GOD FORBID yahoo say that in the headline, then they won't get clicks from people worried it's their flavor

Hey,tumblr staff....dont recommend me scantily clad dainty women posing coily? I dont want to see thag
