You know what it triggered? The pedant in me, because that's not Alexa!

Alexa is the generic name for a listening device in your home. Just like how I use altavista to google stuff. Or use my Nilfisk hoover.

In spain is either nintendo or "play" (playstation).

My parents used to call gameboy everything from a Mega Drive to the SNES or even whatever PC game I played back in the days.

My dad used to play Double Dragon II with me on the NES and I believe that for him, the development of video games stopped right there. I wish I could live in the same world as him.

I like to imagine that sometime in the near future, Amazon discontinues Alexa. Then decades go by and and millennials in old folks homes with dementia start confusing the staff everywhere when they start asking someone named "Alexa" the time, random questions, and to play songs.

after the collapse people pray to The Alexa at the ritual fires they keep in their huts\caves. they forage in the ruins of the cities for credit cards to offer up to The Alexa in exchange for small gifts or song lyrics.

I once bought a bigass plastic container of unpitted red Cerignola olives (like a gallon or so densely packed in brine, like 4 liters of gigantic olives in brine) from a restaurant supply store. Just for me. 160-180 of the biggest and best (well, dyed tho) olives for like :10bux:

Tastiest two weeks of my life imo

Just this morning I was wondering whether someone had made a loss Caryll rune. Now I'm kinda worried that I might have brought it into existence using mind powers.

I've got an initial ADHD assessment due shortly. I've been waiting for it for over a year, and I've only just realised what the flip side of my "oh shut up stop making a fuss and trying to pathologise normal things that everyone does" response to ADHD memes might imply.

Memes about ADHD make me absolutely convinced that I have ADHD, but I still don't get checked or anything because the people posting them often are people who've done something with their lives despite untreated ADHD and I figure I must actually just be stupid.

Anyway, that meme is me and DS9 if I get even slightly drunk.

I had a adhd diagnosis all my life, but it turns out long term symptoms of trauma can be almost identical (and respond to adhd meds in childhood)!
