My son as a teen once accused me of not having food in the house. When I said I had just gotten groceries, he replied, "Yeah, but all you got were ingredients!" #ThePainIsReal

They say "you are what you eat."

So I can only assume that at some point The Trainline app's UI/X designer ate another really, really bad UI/X designer.

Ahahahaha, I know the feeling. I tend to occassionaly check my pens as I just have too many of them. I currently have two penholders for normal pens and five more for various types of pens. Need space! 😂🥴

#ThePainIsReal
I need to stop surrounding myself with dead pens. Why do I not throw these away?! They won't magically get ink again!!

I've encountered this.

The first few tries were disheartening and I felt pathetic.
Then I raged until I heard the first pop. Nothing is impossible.

Satisfaction.

ARE WE NOT PERMITTED ANY JOY?!!

I just got more active here after getting slapped on the face with that AI thing in that old place, forgot what it was called. Only saw it once.

It is becoming less and less possible to ethically defend being on twitter so... Here I am world!

5am !!! I would LOVE to sleep in until 5am - these two couch pandas heard a rabbit fart in the backyard at 3am and if course HAD to investigate the security breach!! #thepainisreal!!

So despise being a “princess and the pea” type of person. One tiny pebble in my slipper caused me to spill my glass of wine, my hand then shut in the door and tripping out onto my porch until I stumbled down the steps! Uuuggghhhh.

I was editing videos and my vid-editor keeps crashing for no reason at random times. 😭😱
#ThePainIsReal
I was wondering why editing videos was such a pain, and then I saw that using Glaze on images on your PC requires a GPU.
And then I realized that my gaming laptop probably doesn't have a dedicated GPU, but rather an integrated GPU that's strong enough for games, but not much else.

Ok, I was thinking I am done for the day until I saw this on my feed and literally LMAOed. 😂😁

I totally sympathize. #ThePainIsReal

Oh, that will be lovely.

As the often culprit of setting off the smoke alarm with a height needing a chair to turn it off, a remote would be most welcome.
#ThePainIsReal
I really wish my smoke detector came with a remote I could use to tell it "I just burnt the sausages a little, SHUT UP"

ADHD dilemma: I am bored by this book. But I'm only 33% in, perhaps I need to wait it out? But omg, nothing happens in it, omg, where's the next cool book? - but, FOMO! What if it actually is good and I miss it? But what if it keeps on just being boring? Ugh. 🫤

Brains are indeed weird. And kinda annoying.

I usually get ideas when I am about to drift off sleep, in the shower and worst, out in a walk out in the middle of nowhere.

Then I get the laptop out and it goes radio silent.

Oh, COME ON!!!
#ThePainIsReal
You ever get those moments where you’re like, “I’m not sure how to start this” and then the muse is like, “don’t think, just start writing” and bam, it flows out from god knows where, and there it is, served up whole cloth.

Brains are weird.

Yesterday I only wrote 200 words, but they were the thematic statement of the entire short story which I’ve been chasing for weeks. A short passage that I thought would remain amorphous and implied, but I just hadn’t found yet.

A lifetime.😭😭

I.T. Housemate wiped out my drives during a routine upgrade-- right after I finished a 3-month project. The trauma of that incident still triggers me today everytime something acts up on my work PC. Or new upgrades...

Waiting for Cyber Monday to get new backup drives.
#ThePainIsReal
if your drives fail tonight, how much work would you lose? how long would it take to rebuild your projects? this is a reminder to please back up important files.

some to consider:
- Pictures/VRChat
- Documents/Unity
- Desktop/not_porn

(i just zip and googlydrive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ still saved my ass twice)

This is my nervous system everytime the women in my family (excluding my youngest sister) drags me out to 'buy something'. No need for two decades, just two hours into the whole opening hours of the stores will do. 🥴🥴

The dread of hearing 'There's a sale in--.' is totally real.

Kinda yea...

I can't ever really describe those broken plastic at the end of the shoelaces and how horrible trying to get them in the hole?
Or that thing inside a bell that when pulled makes the sound? What do you call that stick that hits the gong?

#ThePainIsReal #WritingCommunity #AmWriting
It's not hard writing action scenes or dialogue or confessions of love. What's truly hard is writing about someone drawing the blinds (WHAT EVEN ARE THE LITTLE STRINGS YOU PULL CALLED??) or describing mundane movements that you do a thousand times but never ever put into words.
