People call me self centered. But that's enough about them. #DadJokes

My wife said, “You really have no sense of direction, do you?” I said, “Where did that come from?” #DadJokes

Dad Jokes (Dadsaysjokes): I was at a job interview today when the manager handed me a laptop and said: I want you to try to sell this to me. So I put it under my arm, left the building and went home. Eventually he called me and said: Bring my laptop back now. I said: $200 and its yours.

Dad Jokes (Dadsaysjokes): Ever since I needed a wheelchair, my wife has been so rude to me. She's been pushing me around and talking behind my back

I know this is an odd question, but how do you stop voiceover from announcing chapters in audible whilst reading? I'm reading a book and wanting it to quit announcing chapter numbers right after the book reader does it.

@amorphisbear @maerlynofmiria So there's no other way to get it to quit? I seriously wish they'd not made it announce chapters like that.

@amorphisbear I wonder why they did that in the first place. I first noticed it doing it earlier this year.

@amorphisbear Lol I like to keep my screen unlocked, just in case I want to stop the book in a hurry. I really don't think my fiance would like the book I'm reading, and when she gets back from choir, I'll be wanting to stop it quickly.

@amorphisbear Kay likes singer biographies, I'm a bit more into horror and so forth, and I don't want to accidentally give her nightmares.

@amorphisbear Have you ever read anything by bryan Keene? I don't know if his first name is spelled with a y or an i, but I have loads of books by him, and I'm currently reading a book of his called The Complex. I read it once before, a year ago, but wanted to read it again.

@amorphisbear A group of people are trapped in an apartment complex by a pack of crazies. It's connected to his Laberynth series, but it's a minor addition. He also did a pair of zombie books, the rising, and city of the dead. There's also one of his called earthworm gods, in which a world ends thanks to a second great flood, but his best books are The seven, Laberynth book 1, clickers Versus zombies, Darkness on the edge of town, and his Lost Level series.

@ladymunch You shouldn't have to retract a statement simply because someone out here gets on your ass. I haven't a bloody clue why some people insist on getting on people's cases for something they post from their own account.

I know I'm likely beating a dead horse here, but I seriously wish people would just use the word accessibility and not this A11Y shorthand. I understand its necessity on twitter where there was this rediculous character limit, but Mastodon hasn't got such a restrictive character limit, and accessibility is not, last I heard, a dirty word. Just like blind isn't a dirty word, and yet I have to tell Shuttle drivers all the time "I'm blind, not visually impaired". Neither blind or accessibility are dirty words. For decades on end, no one had a problem with the word blind. For at least a decade and a half, no one had a problem with the word accessibility. What next? Is someone suddenly going to come out with some cutesy alternative name for a white cane? are we next going to be reduced to calling it a sticky wicky? Come on, folks, it's accessibility, not A11Y. We're blind, not visually impaired. a white cane is a white cane, not a sticky wicky.

The thing I don’t understand is, why on Earth or under it do sighted people seem to think that the only way to clean something is to scrape it with a fork, regardless of how they know that what they’re scraping with a fork is a non-stick surface, which can get damaged when scraped with forks. And they only seem to do this with someone else’s equipment, never theirs. I had to throw one Forman grill that didn’t have removable plates away thanks to someone doing that three years ago, this person being someone who worked in the apartment building I’m living in who should have known better, and now I’m having to figure out whether or not I can get spare plates for the grill I have now, once more because someone, this time a staff member at a hotel I was staying at during the time the lift in my apartment building was broken, decided “Oh, let’s get the fork out and scrape away, regardless of how a Forman grill’s plates are non-stick”. And when you confront them about it, they say “Oh I was in a hurry”, or “how was I supposed to know that’d damage the plates”? I mean, are george Forman grills really that uncommon these days, regardless of how I’ve seen them in multiple stores right up to the present day? And, of course, when you tell them they damaged the plates, they act like it’s no big thing. Of course not. At least not to them. They’re not the ones who have to deal with burger patties sticking to the plates, and they’re sure not the ones having to figure out if they can find replacement plates anywhere. Ok, rant mode disengaged.

@tallship Oh it's not the grill that's at fault. If I can find a new set of plates for the one I've got, there'll not be a problem. the first generation ones are a problem though, as those didn't have removable plates.

@tallship And yet if we were to do that to something of theirs, we'd never ever ever hear the end of it. That's why I've never indulged my fantasies of getting vindictive enough to do something right back to something of someone's who broke something of mine.

@tallship Oh this thing's plates would have lasted me for years if not for little Miss "I'm Gonna scrape It with a Fork". I had one once that got stolen whose plates lasted me literally for seven years with no issue at all.
