Tiny Rant

Why did they think changing all of this would be a good idea?

  1. The layout looks ugly. The font looks too modern now, and why the hell is it bolded? It's an eye sore.
  2. The limits are stupid. We all know it.
  3. The personality shift? Have y'all also noticed it?

We all know they won't change it back since Google is money hungry and doesn't give a shit, but people pay for Pro and they deserve much better than this (same with us free users).

The new UI is probably my biggest issue.

Lampposts, Anyone?

It's been a bit since I've posted/commented on here, so I decided to check in and chat with you guys. :)

Little story time: I was at the local library to help a relative who hosted a class there, and I was helping pack their car. It was late at night, so the lampposts on Main Street were on.

Naturally, I looked up at them. I realized that I stared for a little while longer than I expected when I finally glanced away.

After loading more stuff into the van, I hugged the lamppost and patted it with a smile.

Although that was last month, I've recently been thinking about it and how I felt during it. It was nice, and I didn't feel judged by the lamppost... It appreciated the hug. Granted, I think it needed the hug for working so hard.

A friend sent me this pic (Nebraska, if that helps) of ants near her sidewalk.

My first thought was that they were moving to make a different nest, but I'm not sure. 😅 Y'all are the experts.

Also, what species might they be?

Thanks, guys. :)

Did our lovely, lovely Gemini get some new updates?

I just got onto my search bar and noticed that under my Gemini search, it said "New updates" or something like that.
