Adults started buying toys to a greater extent.

Remember that oxygen is a privilege not a right and fires become easier to extinguish.

I understand why, but I think of Iceland as a recent venture (relatively speaking). It is a bit like having to recalibrate that Rome never conquered the highlands of Sardinia. There were just guys up there intermittently raiding their settlements for 1000 years.

People in Iran deciding to keep walking to Australia before settling India is pretty funny.

I always compartmentalised the Polynesian triangle expansion as somewhere around 0-400 AD for some reason.

New Zeeland being settled for a shorter time than Iceland just seems strange to me.

I don’t think it is that, we are half a year into orange man. The threshold has been reached for when it is time for sensible liberals to hedge their stances. If that is because they think it sufficiently unpopular or that it is already over and it is time to get their cover for posterity, I don’t know.

it is funny that such a dogshit attack on trump is something that’s riled people up

Trump supporters are the same kind of people who call Obama a gay Kenyan Muslim satan. This kind of low effort attack is entirely within their wheelhouse and that is why they are so mad about it.

I’m just fascinated that they think ADHD is genetic and that autism is caused by vaccines. Usually they point to that “nobody had it back in my day” with both (ADHD is usually blamed on parenting or children using [current fad]).

War is diplomacy by other means. This is just regular diplomacy.

Text Man for 2.4 and Weed Man for 5.

Played a lot of the original, Melee and Brawl. Since I was a bit better at it than the people I was playing against (my brothers) I tended to rotate characters to keep it fun. I was mostly a Kirby main in the original super smash bros. I tended to prefer playing the heavier characters in Melee and Brawl as it was fun to get the kills with the really slow moves (like Bowser, King Dedede and Ganondorf).

If I felt like winding them up I would just play as Peach or Jigglypuff.

Currently doing the towel over a fan trick, it is helping a little bit at least but it is too humid for it to be that effective.

I have Lyme disease and it is bullshit. Stuck in my apartment that has no ac today during a heat wave.

Oh, remember my friend’s new boyfriend bragging about doing this a year ago and I thought it was just sad. Seems to have worked for him though, got a lot more dates after automating it, which is even sadder. Granted, they are both the kind of people that get a laugh out of having ChatGPT reply in the style of a bratty teen which they read out loud to me, and it was just painful. The next step beyond someone playing a podcast bit on a loudspeaker.

Saying that it is sexual assault is a bit much I think, presumably you meet in real life and give consent at some point before the sex.

After hearing people talking about Labubu, now 8I know what they look like. Seems it is just beanie babies with gacha mechanics.

Song supremacy. Tang is for poseurs.

My coworker had the brilliant idea to book a load of filter changes in the top of a glass building where the ventilation rooms are hardly ventilated (ironic). So I was stuck crawling around in ventilation ducts and hauling stuff up and down stairs and ladders in protective gear in 35 degree heat. My gloves had half a deciliter of sweat each in them when I took them off.

If only it had been the day before when it was pissing rain, but no, the weather has to be an asshole like that.

No. They are not cool.
