in fairness to this particular kid it says this was a dedicated touch tank, but in the general case I agree with you completely

my favorite club in houston, still alive and thriving, is called numbers (sometimes written as #s)

tools are just tools. you can fix broken things with a hammer or a screwdriver; you can also kill someone with one if you try hard enough

usually I apply this line of argument to guns but I see no reason not to apply it to dissociation

functional fixedness is for chumps

earplugs and noise cancelling headphones are a way to voluntarily dissociate from unpleasant or aversive sound. so is closing a door

Slavik, a year-old rusty black cat, stretches out on a bed whose sheets are covered in crumbs

my boss at the dna company once asked me to deliver a report on the conference I spoke about our software at in the style of hst and I'm ashamed that I couldn't deliver

boy howdy, slavik the bold is in a musical mood today

he's zooming around, bouncing off the furniture and singing up a storm

if my room weren't such a mess I'd take video but you'll just have to imagine a sleek, leggy black kitty acting like he's made of the same rubber they make superballs from

yeah I tend not to think about celebrities I don't care for, so it's easier to say things about celebrities I do care for, but I can absolutely bust on ones I don't like with a bit of thought

drake is a fraud and a hypocrite on top of having some really sketchy relationship history

what a weird fuckin take

I care about hopsin and want him to be doing well because I love his music and want to hear more of it, plus I know from his music that he struggles hard with mental health

had a really elaborate dream where I went to some kind of team trivia competition via double decker sleeper bus

we won, and the grand prize was dinner at @chuckdpe.bsky.social's house

on my very first ever trip outside the us, I bought my ticket through a dodgy auction site and the itinerary promptly got completely screwed up

an elderly woman brought me into the lounge as her guest even though the receptionist tried to dissuade her and I'll always be grateful for that

driving in heels is absolutely playing on hard mode, well done you

how does anyone even get sucked into using threads in the first place? every single time facebook tries to link me to something there, the link ends up going to something entirely unrelated

all the private school preps want to flaunt their sat scores until my public school graduate ass whips out the 1520 I got in 1993

720 math, 800 english

we need a bluesky version of github pages; that's how I operated the "cons that pay their speakers" website back when
