I love thunderstorms

It's like I can feel myself detach from whatever topic I'm listening to as I expect it to be a lead up for Raid Shadow Legends.

It's like I'm gonna disengage from serious things because I'm just waiting to see how they are going to ask for money.

I get it's to keep engagement, but it's doing the opposite. I don't want you to slip between conversation into a commercial like that's not creepy as fuck. It's like the Truman show, but nobody's even watching you. I dunno, it's not fun out here.

Gonna burn some peat to get that nice cozy smell going and watch spy x family. Also gonna start rowing too, was gifted a cheap machine.

Just got back from an outing with Comrade Bailey, so the rest of the night I am on storm duty to protect her from the coming storms. She says thunder is fascist and reactionary.

I noticed that my cousins had something like this.

What model or brand should I get?

Does this model work well?

Its not my job to check them. But it's clearly no one else's either.

Lmao I'm dreading fall already

What is this, why does this body betray me?

Reading about Jack the Ripper, and one of the favorite suspects is Walter Sickert because he’s a painter who became associated with JTR. A painter-serial killer is a pretty grim combo, but I believe the theory was introduced in the late 70s and discredited.

But it got me thinking how you could live a seemingly normal life, maybe even be a random witness to a crime. But then some hack 100 years later will comb through the files and see if your name was ever the main subject, and if not, suddenly they got 500 pages dedicated to your life and shady behavior. Then it reaches the NYT Best Seller.

Investigators and researchers may dismiss it or even acquit you if the author is convincing enough. But still. Imagine your only legacy is showing up in the search results of murder or terrorist suspects.

Was around a guy who literally never said anything that wasn't making fun of someone, complaining about someone, or direct work stuff (we were pulling up star pickets). Just kinda toxic to be around. He seemed to enjoy himself though.

no offense to older people in chat, but why do so many older USonians try to overuse appliances or reusable containers with worn out plastic in contact with food?

@chat@hexbear.net

is this a worldwide issue? my hypothesis was they got introduced to them as wonder materials of the future. even plastic sponges get reused when they clearly have molecule-deep filth in every crevasse

It's about a boy and his friend Toadvine and their other friend the Judge and everyone is very nice to each other and treats each other well and I can tell this is going to be a very uplifting tale where nothing bad happens to anyone

Every year on my birthday, I treat myself to an unreasonable purchase. Something that I always wanted but wouldn't just buy it normally because it wouldn't be practical or reasonable. Something like an expensive toy, or a fun gadget, or a hobby kit.

This year I'm indecisive between the Steam Deck and the Meta Quest 3. You might ask why would that be unreasonable. Because I have a family with a newborn now so I don't have much free time to game anymore. It would be a waste because I can only play like once or twice per week.

I would love to hear about your desire for an "unreasonable purchase" (within your budget).

Imagine you’re the first human being to ever be launched into space, and of all the sound bites you could have chosen, one that is certain to be immortalized in history, is simply a: “let’s fucking go!”

A naked expression that fully embodies the pure spirit of humanity’s adventurousness, its insatiable desire to explore new frontiers, and the immense excitement to propel into the unknown.

Every single person in the world instantly understands what that means. None of that pretentious philosophical bullshit that was 100% engineered by some scriptwriters behind the scene.

The person goes on an unhinged, fear mongering rant about estrogen in soy like the phytoestrogen "discourse" around soy is extremely obscure and unheard of.

No longer frustrating anymore. Just funny.

OK it seems like the universe heard me talking about building up enmity with old people,

@chat@hexbear.net

so it answered my vibrations with an eccentric fedora'd old man at the gas station who was complaining about the five extra cents per gallon for the credit card so I engaged him in conversation (which he was extremely enthusiastic about) regarding service fees and dynamic pricing taking over things another forms of monopoly rents. Also, I learned that the guy who did bar rescue allegedly invented the Ticket website service fee. I'll have to check if that's really true.
Not only did I immediately encounter 1️⃣ an opportunity to peacefully disengage a deeply uncomfortable and unresponsive employee from an overenthusiastic man allowing agitated people to pay for their gas 2️⃣ I also found a guy who feels relieved to be able to bitch about something to other people like I mentioned before. Maybe I should utilize the Power of Attraction more. I should do amphetamines.
What I've learned here on ActivityPub is that old people love it when you recommend them books especially about the financialization of everything.

Have I lived a life of evil? Chat should I go into seclusion for 10,000 more years?

@chat@hexbear.net

I mean 10 years?

#exile
#evil

if they ever add red light cameras to the on-ramp stoplights I think that would actually be enough to get me to stop driving

@chat@hexbear.net

I can justify risking my life to save 10 seconds but I can't justify risking my life because I had to come to a complete stop before an onramp that is too short where people decide to drive insanely in the rightmost lane

AHHH NOTHING TO START MY DAY LIKE SOME PETTY SQUABBLING WITH MY ELDERS

@chat@hexbear.net

this morning I decided to talk to people before I had my coffee again now I know that's a meme, but holy shit I'm really one of those people who should not do it. I go up to this gas station in a rich area where I frequently have to visit one of my friends and I'm always appalled by how the gas prices are a solid dollar higher and then the gas stations don't even function and I've seen a couple other attendants at this place before and I can immediately tell I've gotten the Owner now because he's like one of the people who lives around there. He's like a fat old boomer white guy who gives me this beady-eyed glare devoid of courtesy, and has no idea how to do transaction.
So I started asking him like has he noticed how messed up everything is now how nothing works, when he goes to the grocery store there's only one or two attendants there And he takes like five minutes to try to take care of my transaction because his fucking card readers don't work so I'm just like you you know what fuck you you can't even take care of your own shit I'm out of here and what does he do he comes out of the office and tries to fight me I'm not kidding. He tries to fight me now I don't know if you know me well, you don't know me but I'm a pretty big dude and not in the cuddly way for some reason this is like the fourth time a boomer has tried to fight me this month who has absolutely like no chance of doing anything other than calling the cops and they actually try and put their hands on me. It's incredible. They're like flabby completely limp hands like they are tempting me to snap them like pickles anyway, obviously, I just left but it was funny to see like the insanely mad store owner, running after me like Mr. Krabs as I drove away. What a waste of five minutes let's make today a good one

Stuck hanging out with LibShits and Chuds for mandatory fun. The amount of bad takes are staggering.

You are all the best. Thanks for helping me keep my sanity.
