No toasting or drying had gotten the better of a little tobacco fly larva. Hidden away, rolled, snug as a bug in a single cigarette it snoozed and matured. But now the fire was getting close. It crept up slowly, smokefilled, to their tarleaf womb. Still it resisted, burrowing deeper.
Then suddenly the world took a dive. A crash. A quiet. Then... a stomp that shook the universe! And which ripped open the last of the cigarette. Revealing still that enduring larva. Stub-born

On the tombstone of most of us (post mass extinction) could be only two words to explain why we ended ourselves.

It’s my own fault. I knew what I needed to do but was too lazy to type it out. After several goes, ChatGPT declared that I had to use JS.

I spent the afternoon giving it increasingly detailed instructions while it gave me a mix of non-working code and “use JS”.

I wound up giving it the right code and saying “Look! This is how you do it! Without JS”

Laziness + stubbornness = three and half hours producing twenty minutes of CSS.

My cat has been drooling on my arm when she sleeps. Waking up with cat jizz on my arm isn't what I want first thing in the morning. Next time she tries it, I'm putting the Dyson on her face.

Daisy & I are in a battle of wills. She wouldn’t go through the dog-door with the hard acrylic flap. I replaced it with plastic strips even though the cold air seeps around the edges. Mostly she uses it with no problem. Other times, she stubbornly sits outside the door whining for me to open the sliding door, because she doesn’t want to go through the dog-door.
This morning she’s sitting out there, i have put treats on the floor inside, to coax here in. But no, she’s still outside.

June started with a heatwave. The temperature in my house got to 26, but I refused to turn on the AC. Now, after a week of rain and cold, it's 17 in my house but I refuse to turn the furnace on. #stubborn

A quotation from Lowell, James Russell:

«««««
This imputation of inconsistency is one to which every sound politician and every honest thinker must sooner or later subject himself. The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinions.

I guess I'll just get to the kitchen via the garden, then, shall I? Because she's not moving for anyone, the grubby goblin. #husky #DogsOfMastodon #stubborn

#WTAF is going on at #Facebook(#Meta)? People can post #naked #videos #and #pictures on Facebook, but don't you dare #swear because a #child might see!

If #children can see #curse #words on #FB, don't you think they might be able to see those #dirty #pictures as well?? I'd like to know why #Facebook is being so #stubborn about this!

#mastodon is not the #fediVerse

OK I got dad's #diabetes rx transferred to a #pharmacy that has it.

He feels so lousy he's still in bed.

It was going to be the end of the month before they got it and no one even called him to tell him.🤬🤬🤬 (angry cussy face emoji)

What do people do who don't have a really #stubborn #socialWorker in the family to get some kind of #HealthCare for them?
