You dont appreciate how stupid you were until you are older. Then you realize you were stupid when you were younger, and are stupid now, but over different things. If this isnt a persons experience in life, they are almost certainly a Republican. (Joke… Mostly)

This is because with a lot of things in life, you have to actually experience them to figure out if and how you could have handled it better. You dont regret everything you do, but the things you eff up, stick with you…

This is not a breakup song, but about many things i think. However the allusions to loneliness (or maybe solitude/isolation rather than loneliness) have me slot it partially in the breakup category… “Reckoner” by Radiohead.

When in public:

Push door open (usually with elbow) Do business Extract paper towel, but do not grab them… Wash hands Get paper towel that has been dangling and begin to dry hands Use paper towel to get more paper towels (not touching the paper towel dispenser mechanism with skin, using the used ppr towel) Use new paper towel to secure the soiled one, and complete doing my hands, and turn off the water… Use paper towel once more to open the door out of the bathroom

There is literally a new cape fear movie coming out, with Javier Bardem as Max.

No, ive always thought this was a strangely tribal concept, and dl judge people who make their car that much of a part of their identity. Next they will be wearing red hats and rationalizing why Epstein wasn’t that bad.

You will get varying degrees of people crapping on A Song of Ice and Fire, because it is incomplete… But the tale telling in his books are imo, unparalleled. Ive read and reread the series several times, and it always pays off, especially if you get into the deeper storytelling that you miss on the first read. Ive finally reached a peace with the author, after hating in him like everyone else… That is because i realized that id rather live in a world with the story he started, than live in a world where i never experienced the story at all.

Last week i finished the first book of a trilogy i had never heard of, and its a damn shame it doesn’t have more fans. I urge anyone who sees this to add at least the first book to their reading list. That would be Bernard Cornwell’s “The Winter King”. It is a retelling of the King Arthur tale, from a new angle, and i LOVED it. The first book is pretty amazing on its own, and it stands alone. I have started the 2nd book, but not gotten too far into it.

Id also like to recommend The Black Company books by Glenn Cook. These are a different slant on fantasy, and really good.

I love a lot of his work, but he is insufferable. Its like he never got all of his edge lordiness out of his system when he was a teen, and now he is doubling down.

Stay awhile… Stayyyyy FOREVER!

Heres to your fuck, Ben!

Nebula is great, but they dont seem to be adding many creators, which is a real shame, and not taking any suggestions for new channels, means its alway going to be pretty limited in its offering. Which is why i cant REGULARLY sub to it. The content is just super limited.

I did read the article, and that one example is terrible. But this isnt an epidemic. Its not a dumb article because of the severity of any of the cases. Its a dumb article because it paints a picture of lost and starving women on trails everywhere. Its a handful of assholes being assholes.

This is such a dumb article. A handful of women go on day hikes that sucked.

Top tier sir

100% metric

I really wish nebula polled the community ornhad some way to offer feedback on including some other streamers. There are a handful of varied channels i would love to watch away from yt.

Deleted my discord rooms, left every room i was in, requested my acct deleted, uninstalled from every device. Moved to matrix & fluxer.

Im certain I could tell the difference between a $50,000 setup, and the one i have cobbled together for a couple hundo over the past decade… And i would love to have that setup. But that cost to performance is only worth it if you have way too much disposable income. Eff the audiophile market.

Despite his appearance and delivery, i always thought Norm was the most “punk rock” comedian. He actually stood for something, stood by his friends and was true to himself. I did not always agree with his bits… But i never thought he was outright hateful. I think he tried to touch on the humorous or more absurd elements of society, with his commentary. Which was mostly the stuff i liked least… However, i believe that while Norm may not have understood some of these things, he wasn’t intolerant of them.

Norm was about as big of an anti-celebrity, celebrity as i can think of. He always seemed eager to be silly and to laugh, and to love his small group of friends. I’m fairly cemented as being left of center, and i adored Norm.

Check out “project farm” on YouTube. He has an excellent channel and had vids for puncture repair kits, portable compressors and jump packs. He is great.

I think meta will dominate the space that federates with it. Hopefully none of my instances will do that… And I will be unaffected.
