You know how there's all those jokes about lesbians and toasters? Which I actually can't think of the etymology of right now, but I know they exist. But yeah, basically our toaster broke and I lasted a whole 48 hours without one before I snapped and had to replace it.
Because I have a sense of self-preservation I did not google "how to explode a toaster" and nor did I save it to have a "graveyard of busted electronics" party with lighter fluid when Kat gets here in two weeks. :DDD (We also have a busted iron and a broken microwave. It's Appliance Replacement Time in the flat of trolling.)
I had no idea that was a thing. I clearly need more lesbians in my life.
Does that really qualify as a sense of self preservation when self preservation entails thinking better of going out of your way to explode a normally non explosive substance? Yes, the substance in this sentence is toaster.
Also I feel compelled to state that the wayward paragraph tag that shows up in Firefox is NOT ME. I can only comment via my phone because lj hates freedom unless the stars align properly and it's annoying.
Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, Kat's having trouble commenting here today as well, and a bunch of people are still having trouble commenting overall at the moment. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, LJ. :( I will mentally erase the stray tag!
I just realized that, duh, I could reply using the form in my email and type like normal.
still WHY SO STUPID LIVEJOURNAL. I mean the entire point of LJ is comments. People are already abandoning it left and right and I can't freaking comment on my laptop anymore? SO DUMB. My work computer can pretty reliably comment, but....you know.... it's at work.
Ooh, does that work on your phone? It sends me to "this never works ever" hell of non-opening browser windows on my phone and so I've had to break myself of the habit. :/
And, right? It's so dumb. And my obviously-biased view seems to indicate a lot of the people I know who are using it less/letting accounts lapse are people who had paid accounts and I KNOW they are not the majority so... why would you piss off the paying customers?
No, I use the ljapp on my phone, but if I use the email form on my laptop it circumvents the fact that the "post comment" button is eternally greyed out. WHY? I guess this is something I could potentially resolve if I felt like looking into it but, seriously.
I don't really understand why most business decisions are made in general so who the fuck knows. Presumably it makes them a million zillion dollars via ONTD somehow.
It probably looms larger for me because some of my favourite ladies wound up, when they combined their households, legitimately owning, like, FIVE toasters and the internet just about bust a gut making all of the toaster jokes at the time.
YAY TOAST! ...no, the self-preservation mostly involves Kat not killing us because we're not allowed to play with fire unsupervised. :D
Hey, that's practically a toaster collection. I mean what it you need to make a lot of toast all at once? Maybe you are filming a music video a la OK GO and need to cross arcs of jumping toast. Or maybe you need toast but you also need to toast bagels and maybe hot up a sandwich (toaster oven) and have one of those campfire toast cages in case of toast related power outage emergencies.
It may be clear at this juncture that I should not be awake.
I remain unconvinced on the latter point, young lady.
