Just remembered how frequently in the 2000s people would condescendingly reply with β€œhurr durr” when someone would do or say something stupid, especially for internet points. Haven’t seen it used in years now but it was a go-to response for a while. I’m okay with that one going away I think

I think the reason the MacBook Neo is so tantalizing for me is that it looks to actually be what I wanted when I had my MSI Wind netbook, and again tried to attain with a 2017 MacBook 12" and that's a truly usable SFF laptop.

I need to rewatch that movie. It’s been probably 20 years since I last saw it

The Ferrari F40 turns 40 next year which incidentally makes me also 40 with it. Time to turn to dust

A little chonk of a leopard slug. They’re on concrete and have little pine needles stuck on their body. They look dashing and glistening. A good slug.

It’s slug time. Getting close to spring!

A photo of a Nintendo New 2DS XL for $329.99 in well worn condition. But hey GameStop members get it for a measly $313.99! The used Switches are on the shelf below and roughly $100 cheaper

So this is where used games are now, huh? I’m fucking insulted

I remember those units! And though I do love that teal one I was so happy with the Glacier unit I ended up with. I had the teal GBC but always longed for the Atomic Purple. So I got the Glacier GBA to live that out. It even came before release day in the mail and I was ecstatic!

Gustatory rhinitis is so bizarre and absolutely weird. Why my body decides to get the nastiest runny nose any time I eat is just… why? Why body?

I’m Tired Of These Useless Jackasses Making The Computer Expensive RAM, flash memory, and HDDs are unaffordable because of a bunch of greedy idiots that do not love the computer.

The tech oligarchs pushing AI do not care if you can afford a computer, because they do not truly love the computer. aftermath.site/ram-prices-hdd...

Honestly? It’s mindless fun with XP era callbacks and aesthetics with the appropriate drum and bass music in the background

One of my little comfort treats is Yoo-Hoo. It’s objectively a kind of mediocre drink but I always had one when I would visit meemaw so it’s just a kind of special drink. She’s been gone nearly 25 years but I still like them. Miss you meemaw

It's such a good movie that manages to hit even harder today than it did in 1992 where it was already a scathing. Most depressing is trying to recount the sheer number of wars that have been waged in the ensuing 34 years.

The internet is a strange place full of incredibly powerful and gifted nerds. Truly important work has been done to solve the mysteries once thought unanswerable. Bravo. *Johnny* Bravo even

Watching through some of the older episodes of Defunctland and seeing Welcome to Pooh Corner and Dumbo’s Circus have set me back more than 30 years. I have so many memories of that early 90s Disney Channel, before the commercials. Wild to look back upon

Guess my impulse purchase was fortuitous. But I hate this so much. Instead of more technology in more hands we're seeing it get gobbled up to destroy the planet through art-stealing propaganda machines. Well, fuck

I finally had a spark of inspiration tonight. Haven't had that in... too long, honestly. Felt compelled to write. So I wrote a short horror story. One of my first for the genre. Not sure if I'll expand it or let it be complete as it is. I'm just glad it exists because I like it.

If you’ve not caught this pilot it’s a lot of fun! I’m not a great chef but I love creating tasty meals and sharing them. So the idea of a story of an adventurous human discovering recipes amongst the stars resonates with me. Check out Spice Frontier youtu.be/SeAqnHywrx8

I love that indie arts have been booming lately. Animation, music, games, writing, all sorts of beautiful art. I love that they’ve been finding success. I know that so many fire their shot and become lost in the stars. But it’s so important that we keep making art. Especially now. We need it
