Definitely looking for work again. Be praying because I have zero hope in getting hired or keeping a job anymore.

Mine was buried even deeper, under Devices -> Typing -> How AI has helped you.

(Spoiler: it hadn't helped me. But it was on by default.)

This is one of those cases where it's not clear what this feature is doing because Microsoft is deliberately obscuring what it does, but there's something I deeply dislike about Microsoft learning to correct your mistakes so that you yourself do not learn to fix them. Underlining a mispelled word with suggestions is one thing. Auto-fixing them without your notice is not helping you improve in any way.

Is there ANYTHING ELSE I can disable on the "watches everything I do and reports back" device while I'm here?

[fractiouslemonofficial]

Thank you for assuming that I'm illiterate, Microsoft. Are you going to program a robot to come and wipe my butt for me next?

[fractiouslemonofficial]

Apparently not running the air conditioner raises my electric bill by 100 dollars. Go figure.

You hear about the game Mouse: P.I For Hire?

I'm incredibly sorry for not answering this earlier. It seems I'd completely overlooked the messages we'd been sent.

Anyway, yes. I have heard about and seen some of Mouse: P.I. For Hire. I was curious about it when it was in development since I love classic animation so much, but with it being a first-person shooter, my interest was never very strong. I'm not the biggest fan of those types of games and, frankly, I'm awful at them, so it's unlikely to be in the show. The stronger language and frequent gore effects also make it a pretty solid pass for our show as I try to keep things within a PG or very tame PG-13 rating.

My rule for censorship on PlayStonkers is "If they wouldn't do it on the Simpsons or Mystery Science Theater 3000, we won't do it here."

Autism is a helluva drug. I should know. I have it.

one day you wake up and realize you're jon arbuckle

[fractiouslemonofficial]

Joke's on you. I knew I was Jon Arbuckle when I was six years old.

Food stamp appointment tomorrow. Praying everything goes through. We need it.

Update

I will most likely have our electricity shut off in order to afford still living in our trailer. I can’t promise there will be new videos or artwork until I’m able to earn money again… if that ever happens. I’m sorry.

[fractiouslemonofficial]

Possibly Goodish News. Maybe.

Okay. After getting a few minutes of quiet to clear my head and do some math, we are currently bringing in enough money to cover all of the necessary bills while still having $183.71 remaining for the month's food, transportation, and any other expenses. Not ideal, obviously, but at least we can continue living in our home and not die from the Florida heat.

It's more or less as I've said before both here and on our YouTube channel. If I can just find some part time gig where I can earn about 400 a month or, lord willing, get enough patrons invested to make that amount on Patreon, we'd be good.

I've also got an appointment scheduled for next week to help us get food stamps, which will help as long as I can scrounge together receipts for our expenses. I'm not sure how to do that since it's all handled online, but it must be possible somehow. So maybe, just maybe, we can actually make it through this.

You have not hit your ceiling yet. Your biggest dreams, your strongest season, your most obedient “yes” to God are still ahead. He does not bring you this far and then say, “That’s enough for you.” He knows how to pick up the pace in your life when it is time.

[fractiouslemonofficial]

I need this to be true even more but I can’t believe it any longer. I just can’t. My biggest dream now is to just have a lasting job and not live in my car and even that feels impossible. There’s no magical solution coming to grant anyone’s wishes. I just need a job that I can’t ruin and I don’t believe that exists anymore.

[dailyeffectiveprayer]

Jesus told us not to let our hearts be troubled. That means you have a choice. There may be turmoil around you, but His peace can steady you. He will rescue you when you call on Him.

[fractiouslemonofficial]

I really need this to be true right now but it’s not doing much for me.

[fractiouslemonofficial]

I’m tired of being worthless.

Well This is a Fine How-Do-You-Do

The paycheck that I thought was going to be somewhere between 150 to 200 dollars this week turned out to be 53 dollars instead, which wouldn't be such a problem if the kids weren't here; so we may have to borrow money if anyone's willing to help.

PayPal is [email protected] if anyone would like to spare ten dollars or so. We'd appreciate it.

[fractiouslemonofficial]

It gets even better. I LOST MY JOB AGAIN.

I'm obviously not feeling my best right now. Praying something good comes up soon.

I saw a post that said, 22-28 are the ages when people usually stop dreaming big due to discouragement from their current realities. I am here to serve as a reminder that, as children of Jesus, we do not walk by sight, but by faith, knowing that our current situation is not our ultimate destination. Don't look left and don't look right, comparing your situation to those who are around the same age as you. Focus on you, look forward, and push through. Get up and take care of yourself. You have one life to live, please make yourself proud of it.

I want us all to make it on the other side, knowing we kept going and we did not quit.

[fractiouslemonofficial]

Genuine question. What if you're 43 and you've given up on dreams to the point that your only hope is to scrape together enough money every month to pay the rent?

God likes to remind me of those old dreams sometimes and I start to listen long enough only to remember that there's no reliable future in them.

[fractiouslemonofficial]

I appreciate your response. I keep getting little messages like that these days but they're very hard to believe. To make a long story short, it feels as though God's been telling me to do something completely ridiculous and even impossible for most of my life and I really have no idea how I'm supposed to step in faith for that to happen... especially since every time I have stepped in faith, I was shown that it was a very bad idea.

Asking for Prayer

I've been silent about this for a while, but I lost my job about a month and a half ago. I know, big surprise. I've been searching for employment everywhere, but nobody is hiring... Or, rather, they say they're hiring and then after getting an interview I'm told that they're "taking applications, but we're not really hiring yet" or something similar.

I'm not asking for money. I'm asking for prayer that I can find work and find it soon. We're not going to be able to afford everything we need for December without it.

Thanks for reading.
