nah can’t think of any. maybe there’s a spanish civil war memorial or something? diego rivera painted murals on coit tower. the beat museum. the RCP has a bookstore in a parking structure in berkeley.

who the hell this? i just want to talk

that’s your blood meeting at the usual spot because it thinks it is due to be drained again

been using rednote as my only other social media outlet outside of hexbar (ok i guess twitch chat). one thing i’m starting to pick up on (through the autotranslate feature) is the chinese sense of humor. one of the jokes that comes to mind, in reference to an extreme mountain bike video or reckless driving, is a commenter will say “at first this looks quite dangerous, but actually it is not safe at all”.

or a post about an extremely rich/rare car or house - commenters will point out a minor flaw in it and declare they simply cannot buy it in that condition. they’re clever over there.

western comment sections are less clever, usually.

gerry from parks & rec

toby from the office (although that’s kind of a two-parter because everyone except michael likes toby)

check threads made by OP thelastaxolotl. many of the megathreads are of similar topics

did someone get addicted to providing military aid to multiple hot wars that they started? better cut NOAA, NASA, and NWS some more to pay for another missile

i’ve only been up for an hour so far, so, uh,

this is my first time growing tomato plants, and they’re doing ok. it’s crazy that they were just a little seedling and now they’re 3 feet tall mini trees and bearing little green marbles. i’ve decided to turn a portion of the front yard into a pumpkin patch and have about 20 plants snaking their way across the yard, which is pretty fun. they should all be maxed out by late october for the spooky day.

that’s cool as hell

this has gotta be more details from the same story that came out yesterday(?)

used HSA $ to buy a J-shaped body pillow and last night was my first time using it. i love it so much. not tossing & turning all night. knees no longer knocking together. face not suffocating in a flattening pillow. not sure if it helped my snoring, but i feel better rested.

@thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net check out the Yongle Encyclopedia if you ever need a megathread topic.

absolutely helped get me through the default suburban convservative christianity that infested every aspect of growing up in usa. shout out to comedy central for playing this a couple times a week for five years or so. also shout out to salma hayek

aka the painting goblin

thank you for sharing this article.

kind of related - i mulched a 3x8’ plot of my front yard this last year, from november-may. yard waste, fall leaves, grass clippings, etc. last week, i spread the mulch out to use as planting soil for some pumpkins. the mulch was so alive with decomposers, especially pillbugs. it felt good to provide them with habitat for a few months. i hope they’re nice to my pumpkins

Edit: basically avoid credit cards and financing as much as humanly possibly

if you’re budget constrained, yeah. as goodguywithacat says below, treat a CC like a debit card and pay it off every month. I’ve never made an interest payment on a CC in my life. I put almost all my monthly expenses on a credit card that has 1-5% cashback rewards. I get ~$100 a month in reward points that I regularly spend on shit i need. at this point, i’ve spent over $1k in money i never worked for. one of life’s little perks.

law’n order
