re: plans tonight
nvm on the Garbage EP. First track was okay but I am not sure I like the new pacing
@vultureculture your coworker presumably has eyeballs lol
@riotmuffin what prompted this was the only wireless charger at the store being a fucking always-glowing UFO disk which brightly pulsates and changes color to indicate the charging state. My charge port was giving me issues and I wanted a backup in case it failed for good. I tried using it by my bed once and immediately gave up on it, since it was so bright it lit up my entire ceiling brighter than any actual LED light strips I've bought. That's really a huge drawback for a device I would only ever use when I am trying to sleep.
However even the ones that are just tiny little pinpricks in the plastic casing will keep me from sleeping, and I have to keep my power strip under my bedside table at all times or else the reset switch LED keeps me up at night. I just wish there was an easy and 100% effective way to remove or obscure them, but sometimes they are on buttons and switches making it impossible.
I would never be able to lose a charger brick because the power strips they plug into already have huge lights on them too.
Random bright LEDs on charger bricks and cables and random cheap electronics accessories are so irritating. I really value being able to have a dark room when I turn off the lights. Do other people not have issues in a room full of blinkenlights and pulsating LED strips? Is sleeping with lots of annoying lights on around you 24/7 being so normalized that manufacturers don't even realize this is an anti feature?
I have to take the time to tape over, or otherwise obscure the LEDs whenever they are where people sleep (which is most rooms in my tiny place). It is infuriating and makes it look like cheap crap that is half-broken from day-one after getting it.
I am including a poll. Does this bother you too? Do you see a utility in these weird lights? Do you not mind lights being on while you sleep? Falling asleep with a TV or monitor on would be in the same category of not minding these lights in my mind. Reply if you disagree or have more nuance to include.
@aoife they imply routes out of them to escape though! Amtrak was super important in helping us get out of Texas.
As things stand, my payment from work is finally processing and should hit next week, I've been told. In the meantime I've got about $80 in my account and therapy this Thursday is $110, so if anyone wants to help me make that (+ a lil gas and groceries), it's always appreciated. 💚🍀

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
