I wonder if Lorde ever introduces herself as Randy Marsh

I wonder when the blue collar industries will start to realize that 245% tariffs on China might actually hurt them... Mrjeefers is feeling... cynical

I miss when the internet meant choosing what mood I'm in out of 132 options, and making sure I visit the giant omelette before it disappears. MrJeefers is feeling... discontent

Anyone else notice that Jared Golden's hair gets more Nazi faux-hawk style the further authoritarian suckup he becomes?

I don’t mean to be weird and dramatic but I just want to scream my brains out and eat everything and fight everyone like God’s angriest little seagull, but also just go live on the bottom of the ocean like a flounder with a little peanut brain and everything is dumb and I hate it

Remember when cryptocurrency was being advertised to be the fallback to hedge against a conventional market catastrophe?

Dealing with QuickBooks is like dealing with Satan. Not fun Hedonistic Temptation Satan either. No, dealing with QuickBooks is like dealing with Punishment for Eternity Satan.

Dentists: You really need to stop brushing so hard. Also Dentists: You haven't been jamming the minty razor wire between your gums enough!

An extremely useful reframing technique. Tasks never end, they're just in different stages. Take a walk around the pond and see where you're at.

Happy to see someone yelling like I want to yell.

This reminds me of the Charlie Kirk phenomenon where I've seen him so often with his tiny face that he looks weird in unedited photos.

Am I learning skills to better myself out of enjoyment, or am I practicing escapism to avoid the horrors(tm) I'll get back to you on that

Just to leave a place better than how you found it. That's an ethical framework worth a lifetime of work. That's enough.

The Snow Queen of The Hinterlands.

For someone who asks a lot of questions I've discovered that I'm apparently very bad at asking questions.

Doing NYT Connections to calm down after something stressful is one of the best lessons I've received from @hankgreen.bsky.social. Crash Course in distractionary puzzle zen.

50 pixels is way too high for the taskbar when I've only got 768 pixels to spare. When Chrome's ribbons take up 120? Even Obsidian's top ribbons take 80. < 640 pixels? On a 17" monitor? Damn MS. Time to open mIRC and slowly download individual .gif files before my mom picks up the phone I guess.

Rep. Jared Goldman (D) Maine, Are you kidding ME? Tariff ALL foreign imports? Increase the financial burden on our already hurting community. steel, wood, cement, cotton... If you're going to bend the knee to T's anti-economic policies before he's even in office I could have voted for Theriault.

I wonder how many pieces of art burn every year on average. That color orange doesn't clean off as easy as the paint I think.

I have questions. Why does the city of Gloomhaven has a whole area that turns everything to ash? Nobody even put up a fence? No spare guards to warn people? Not even a sign?

Kobolds are most definitely Fraggles.

Can Fey creatures "see" magic in the around them? Like: Currents of air in mist; Lines of laser pointers in a dusty room; Shimmering reflections of ripples in water.

Can't sleep. Let's say travel back in time is just relativity +. You're really still moving forward in time, but so fast you bend back and make a weird current in the time stream. You could kill your own dad. That time breaks off the main stream like a contained vortex. You live. they have a dream.

The best way I've seen AI video used so far is in creating very accurate dreamscapes and nightmares. Nothing quite hits that perfect sleep reality like the constantly shifting uncanny valley nature of an AI composite.

I would love to see some modern spinoff YouTube series where the Ferengi explain current 20th century financial scams as a sort of training video. How to make a crypto currency pump and dump. How to trick humans into hiring you as a financial advisor for an entire 1% fee. etc.

The Orville not having teleporters is one of the best decisions they could have made. No need to have them break or have storm interference every episode for added tension. Epic flying chase sequences.

How many hats at work is too many hats?

There's something special about the dry delivery of solid snark bombs that just get me every time I watch @acollierastro.bsky.social

I also watched Red One tonight. Unexpecting, and pleasantly surprised. A Santa movie with Icelandic and German lore, and swearing! Didn't help my dad related sadness from my other post though.

When I was 7 My dad got me an erector set. It was the only time he visited me during Christmas the year after my parents divorced. 2 hours in a hotel room. I never saw him at Christmas time again. Saw an erector set at goodwill today. I almost bought it, but truthfully I didn't even like it then.

They're the promise of future free time.

When I was a kid I had a cassette player with a switch that sped up whatever I played to 1.5x and 2x speeds. I didn't know in 1997 that being able to sing Chipmunk @weirdalyank.bsky.social would be a training ground for my modern media consumption habits.

Even tried to lighten the mood last night by trying out "MILF ISLAND 2", but I think that I made a crucial mistake of not getting all the plotline of the original MILF ISLAND...

The winter holidays are always the hardest and most overwhelming season for me. How did I ever do this unmediated? Ran out of ADHD meds last week due to shorts in the network. Raw dogging the holidays with overstimulation is a nightmare. How do people find /joy/ in any of this bullshit?

If only the number was that low Duo. If only.

Trade a kindness rock. What a fun idea to give people a fun reason to come back to a possibly stressful place.

Many people do not understand game design. Let me explain: game design is when attacking with your primary attack builds stacks of zorp, and your secondary consumes zorp stacks to add additional slow and lifesteal when you plurk

Is Kevin Bacon measured in Kelvin or Centigrade?

I'm in a book club, and need to listen to this audio book that's 4 hours long. But the pull of many 2.5 hour long YouTube video essays is so strong. Make it make sense.

Buy safe gifts for kids, not the Flaming Sword of Handsomeus Ronicus

Unclear board game rules causing problems for hundreds of years. After accidently promoting an 8th rank pawn to a queen of the wrong color: "The ruling was referred to nearby players, whose opinions were divided since the published rules didn't specify color." new.uschess.org/news/evoluti...

I often live under a dome of hopelessness for the future of humanity. This video by @dasiasade.bsky.social fell and chipped a hole big enough to see some light through. youtu.be/LBUHBfFSa4I?...

The weekend is almost over and there still socializing to do. Will I survive? Time will tell...
