Fucking hell.

Anyway, here's a longer, more up to date Version of the article.

Hadn't read the story yet, from the photos I'd have thought it was about getting a perm.

My father was 75 when his finances had deteriorated to the point where he was no longer able to afford a personal secretary.

He had me explain the things he had to do, and he wrote them down on paper, step by step. He was pretty quickly able to do all the things he needed to do on his desktop.

Never got fast typing down, so I got him dictation software. Anyway, I'm pretty convinced as long as your determined, you can stay hip to new technology in a way that at least allows you to work with it.

I bought an Epilation device a few days ago, and it's just been sitting there. On the one hand, I hate my body hair, on the other hand, pain.

I'd watch it.

Yeah, but at least he's not pretending he isn't. Not that that makes it better.

It took them years to prepare that operation. It was against Hezbollah, not Hamas, because they saw them as the bigger threat.

I've gotten a free CD at a concert recently. I don't have anything to play it on.

I'm male, and bi. I'm about equally bad at picking up on hints from men and women, but it seems more common with men to just flat out state what they want, either immediately, or after I miss their clue, which I'd presume to be cultural.

I'm bad with social clues in general, so I dunno if it's a male-thing, or a me-thing.

I think that one was fake, posted by the OperaGX Account. Still funny, though.

On that note, I'd advise against using Opera browsers, the company that is behind them now is kinda shady.

On another note, I'd also advise against Edge, but less so. Microsoft is just normal megacorp-shady, not ran-a-loanshark-bussiness-in-africa-shady.

My ISP's a dick, but to my knowledge, unlimited has to mean unlimited around here. There where months where we had Problems with our fibre, so I did everything over a hotspot from my phone. Used 100's of GB's no one ever complained.

Get proper consumer protection laws, people.
