It’s a relief valve though. As someone who has suffered from unavailable care, black market drugs probably saved my life. I’m not terribly against adults being able to make such decisions on their own judgment.

I eat green olives straight out of the can for lunch sometimes.

The same story of publicly traded companies again and again.

Your steady growth isn’t good enough.

Your growth has to grow - and if it’s not growing fast enough then you’re not doing your duty to the shareholders.

Add in the fact that we’ve let businesses get so large they empty all the air from the room and we’ve managed to enshittify our entire society.

It’s wild that we have these weird videos that play out when we sleep and people aren’t more interested in them honestly.

I like hearing about people’s dreams!

They really could work on their branding a bit

Google Search is dead. It just doesn’t know it yet.

Haha oh man it’s weird to see this mentioned so many years later.

I helped organize that protest. Thanks for coming down with us!

Sometimes I ask it for music recommendations.

But mostly I tend to just use it like a fancy thesaurus when I’m low on mental energy.

Sometimes I remind myself silently “just listen”

I’m now naked in bed, and this would probably get my boyfriend excited.

I noticed when I fly a lot of airlines include models of the plane you’re on in the in-flight purchase pamphlet. They’re pretty simple, probably fine for a kid - on the off chance you’re flying somewhere for the holidays.

All the activity in every zone I visit really does just feel so great. There’s no better sign a game is alive and healthy. It was totally that which hooked me.

I still play EVE online, having a lot of fun in faction warfare these days.

A video came out on the history of the game recently, just a cool 6 hour deep dive. https://youtu.be/BCSeISYcoyI?si=1sKdXt8oPRUTbzs1

I’ve also gotten into Guild Wars 2 recently and I’m a little addicted. The game just feels great: nice community, events are engaging, so much stuff to do but at the same time not demanding like games can be sometimes.

I moved to Europe from the US. Forgot to cancel my gym membership before I went.

They demanded a handwritten letter, delivered in person by myself to cancel the membership. I wasn’t buying an international flight just for them, so I mailed them a letter and had to threaten to sue to get them to close it. Absolutely disgraceful.
