Thank you, Netflix lol The opening to Happy Gilmore has to be one of the most whiplashing, amusing, and intriguing openings to a movie. In less than 150 seconds, you go from wholesome son and dad to "i don't blame the mom" to more whole-WAIT WHAT sadness to "granny gene simmons" I love this movie lol » Continue Reading
Last year I stumbled into a particular Discord server while I was trying to find an online fiddle/violin community. I can't recall the name or quite how I found it (since I was entering/exiting several at the time), but what drove me out what a particular young lady and an interaction I've been pondering about for some reason today. She simply, absolutely, vehemently, could not allow me to use AN... » Continue Reading
Listen on YouTube here Despite coming out yesterday (Feb 1st or 2nd, 2024), most of the songs have an echo-y, airy, etherealness to them that feels very much like the early 2010's stuff you'd find on SiriusXM's Alt Nation (like Kings of Leon for example). The album feels very melancholic, even some of the "brighter" songs because it can sound like they're singi » Continue Reading
I realize I've slowly been decentralizing my social media for a surprisingly long time now. I'm rarely active on Facebook, mostly using Messenger for sending and receiving higher quality pics and videos with family (mostly my mom and wife) that texting allows (I'm android, she's apple). I haven't had an imgur account in years. I've deleted my reddit accounts in protest of the moderation changes... » Continue Reading
So I originally stumbled on the Scott Pilgrim novels as I think book 5 or 6 was being written and coming out. It's been over a decade so i don't exactly remember lol but it was a big thing for me at the time. RENT changed a lot of my worldview in 2007 as a college freshman, and SPvsTW hit that early 20's angst of "where am i and what is it all for?" in a similar "time and place of life" sort of ... » Continue Reading
The First Noble Truth: the Truth of Suffering. Suffering comes from the 5 Aggregates, Bodily Form, Feeling, Perception, Mental Formatios, and Consiousness. My bodily form, while not perfect, is healthy. My feeling of my arm being uncomfortable is not as great as those for whom my donation will help make healthy, the same goes for my perception of being uncomfortable with needles. I am tied to th... » Continue Reading

For some reason when I log in I don't have subscribed blogs showing up in my home page anymore. I still see bulletins and i see the section for pending friend requests but i don't have a blogs section below that anymore. Does anyone know why that disappeared or how i can add it back? » Continue Reading
Quick Tech Support story from a few moments ago, where I work, we use a program called PI to get equipment operating data (temperatures, pressures, etc). Last week, I upgraded the laptop for one of our shift supervisors super: cajuuuuuun super: my pie isn't working me: have you tried cobbler? i love this guy, he gives me as much heck as i give him and he helps me stay on top of any issues his tea... » Continue Reading
Who in their right mind not only let this get to testing but actually liked it in the focus groups. Did they test this in Minnesota where taste is so bland they consider salt "exciting"? I paid more for a drink that tastes flat. Like i can feel the carbonation but there's no bite to it like with real carbonation. #stupidfoodproducts » Continue Reading
