There are so many songs I first became aware of from this kind of commercial.

I remember them so vividly in this context that my memory of the song is interrupted by whichever song came next in the commercial.

I’m not a therapist, so I wouldn’t know for sure. But I have dealt with a lot of my own trust issues by remembering that I can control the way that I show up, but I can’t control the way other people do.

If I think someone might have questionable intent with how they engage with me, that’s their business. The way I behave in response is my business.

It’s reframed the way I interact with folks in a lot of ways. I can deal with manipulative people to whatever extent I must, but then be like, “Okay, peace,” instead of being drawn into whatever bullshit they have going on.

That’s just me, though. Everyone’s experiences and relationships are different. I hope you’re well!

I used to struggle with accepting compliments until I learned that “Well, that feels nice to hear” expressed using whatever tone is appropriate for the moment/compliment giver works in practically every instance.

You can branch out into other more healthy ways of accepting compliments from there!

Decent quality automatic cat feeders.

We have 3 cats, and I resisted getting autofeeders for 5 years because it felt silly to buy what amounts to three $75 food bowls.

They paid for themselves the first weekend I didn’t have 3 razor sharp dickheads screaming at me to feed them at 5:15 AM. I should have bought them years ago.

I wonder how much difference one Stinger SAM would have made at Blair Mountain in 1921.

Sacks.

This is an urban legend and shame on OP for perpetuating it. The only verifiable instances of open source operating systems found in Halloween candy were installed by the children's parents themselves.

Grain entrapment is scary.

Plus, I’m pretty sure that days are always about 24 hours long 🙃

Eskimos have a kabrillion words for snow.

Indigenous Alaskan/north Canadian languages have a few more words for snow than English, but it’s not that that much more.

We’re even older than that! There is compelling evidence that Homo Sapiens has existed for 400k years, and there’s unprovocative evidence that we’ve been around for 250k years or so.

I have the normal human amount

Death metal, experimental metal, vaporwave/mallsoft, witch house, and experimental metal.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Cavalera Conspiracy and Voivod lately. Polysics are pretty fun, too. Luxury Elite is a reliable vaporwave choice.

What’s stopping you from switching to iPhone?

My lack of desire to switch to iPhone.

I’d personally like it better if nothing tAkEs oVEr. I’m comfortable with the internet having more than one website.

I’m uninformed about the interesting stuff from Mozilla, Tumblr, etc. that the author mentioned, but I hope it’s cool and varied.

This might sound stupid as hell, but vaporwave music. It captures the essence of a feeling I’ve had since the mid 2000’s, but could never articulate in words. Then I read this thing about its anticapitalist roots, and I felt even more seen.

Primitive search engines often allowed you to browse websites by topic. You could click on stuff like different music or film genres, specific movie or book titles, or celebrity names, and youd be presented with a list of all websites on that topic.

Since it was the early internet and everyone had multiple personal geocities or angelfire sites, you’d churn up pages upon pages of results for everything. Each search engine produced vastly different results, so you could waste a day on Alta Vista, then go to Excite and do it over again, finding a bunch of different stuff.

I’d spend hours opening websites for shitty (and some surprisingly excellent) bands from all over the world. A handful even went on to real life notoriety.

My biggest flex along those lines is I became a huge fan of AFI in 1992 or 1993 because there were some folks in California writing about the punk scene, and they came up a lot. Sometimes somebody would host 30 second .wav (.ra, maybe?) files recorded on a crappy tape recorder or something from a live show or local radio station. It was a cool time to be young and excited about music.

cameronsworld.net. Pay attention.

Severence season 2 is probably going to be pretty good. Capitalism will eventually collapse under its own weight. Peak sweet corn season is in a couple months.

1. I’m not the one who downvoted you (which clearly means the consensus is you’re wrong, ratios be damned)
2. You and I are now workplace enemies
3. I hope you have a good day!
