Less “downhill” and more “dropped into a sinkhole straight to the pits of hell,” but Creepshow Art. I thought she was really fun to listen to, and it was interesting hearing tea spilling from a community I’m not privy to. At some point she opened up about a stalker who’d been following her for years, harassing her constantly, trying to get her fired from her job by sending compromising photos from her past to her boss, threatening her life… And then it turns out she was the stalker, and the victim was Emily Artful! She was the psychopath threatening someone’s life and trying to get them fired and shit! And I was planning on donating to her patreon!
When I first moved to south Louisiana, I encountered a giant (black and orange) grasshopper. My first thoughts were along the lines of, “Wtf kind of grasshopper is that!? Did I move to fucking Jurassic Park or something!? Fuck!”
It was very jarring to see insects so big (milipedes that excrete some kinda fluid when touched, ground spiders, thunker af orb weavers, wood roaches flying)… now that I actually type it out, it still seems like Jurassic Park almost 20 years later lol; but I’m not much bothered anymore by most of them.
But the electrified tennis racquet for killing mosquitos… that shit is priceless. Wish I could find the $5 walmart ones still, because I would dual wield them and have extra for guests. I’ve gone from mosquito prey to predator, and it’s a joy
Simply have the pages blank as possible, and use a pseudonym. Shit posting Is it going to do anything to make data less desirable. Just follow all of the typical advice for staying anonymous on the internet.
Also, insist on only using the secret message feature of Facebook Messenger. Those messages are and to end encrypted and at least if you believe facebook, not even Facebook can access them.
Fabulous Crusty. I don’t hate his work or his decisions, as he wanted to do what he liked, and he found a new audience with it. Absolutely good for him.
I miss his old content he probably decided was cringe, or perhaps YouTube deemed controversial like his playthrough of Rinse and Repeat. Rinse and Repeat isn’t controversial as far as I know(?) and had censor blurs. As someone in the LGBTA, I didn’t find his reactions to be inappropriate, and I liked his exploration of the jank of that game. Although I’m not sure why he played it, other than “this game is weird, it’ll get clicks.”
He’s deleted or delisted a lot of my favorite videos from back in the day (or I can’t find his old channel, not sure). I hope he’s doing well, I just miss the really random weird stuff he was playing. I did enjoy the Shadow of War stuff though.
Not exactly for historical searching but for current news, I have been using Feedly and it’s been fantastic for grouping my local news sources/blogs together into one feed.
It’s all personal preference but I’d go crazy if I had email notifications on. If it’s urgent and I want you to have instant access to me you should be able to text me. Otherwise, email is something I look at at beginning or end of day. Same for work. It’s well documented at this point how destructive interruptions and distractions are to reaching deeper levels of thought, engagement and productivity…and that is not restricted to the work world.
Yeah I have three emails - business (self employed, always on), personal (always notify but no sound), Hotmail (orders and spam, fuck off don’t notify)
My dad has all YouTube notifications turned on for every channel he follows. He also has the sound on max at all hours of the day. I’ve asked if he wants help turning them off and he told me he likes it that way, so I’m pretty sure he’s a psychopath.
I’ve most frequently seeing AF mean “As fuck”. It’s even gotten to the point of bumper stickers that say things like “Mommy AF”. Outside that meaning, I’m not sure what else AF could mean.
Jay is more than likely a person, because I don’t think the kids are trying to bring back the old slang “jay” which was a somewhat derogatory term meaning “rube” given the context here.
I’m nowhere near Bill Gates money and never will be.
I think amongst my circle of family and friends, I probably net 3-4x more than the highest earner I know. For the most part, I can buy myself whatever gadgets or books or food or things I typically want.
But…I don’t, well, I don’t always.
In fact, oftentimes I find myself putting off buying Book A or B because I just don’t feel like it’s a good use of money right now.
Sometimes I won’t even buy myself new socks until all of mine have been worn down to absolute tatters. I own two pairs of jeans and one pair of shoes and they’re going to go until they completely fall apart.
Other times, I want this new game and I don’t buy it because I can’t really justify it for how much time I might end up having for it.
But if anyone I know gets me any of the above or similar, I’d honestly be super happy. It removes that mental battle for me and I get something I actually want / need.
In my defense, at least in 2023, I’ve spent more money on donations, paying other people’s medical premiums, holiday and birthday gifts for others, and vet bills than anything directly for myself 🫣
It’s not that, I can be the same way. I don’t feel I need or have the time for a lot of things. I help charities and do reduced rate work for non profits all the time. Ask me to buy myself sushi, and I’ll consider if I really need O Toro tonight.
Whenever you look up names on urban dictionary you have to remember it’s mostly middle schoolers trying to boost their own ego or signal to others that they’re hot
I no longer snooze now. I set the alarm to the latest time I can get up and still be on time. Either I wake up on my own or the alarm forces me out of bed.
Snoozing is stupid, you already interrupt your sleep for nothing. I’d much rather maximize uninterrupted sleeping time.
I mean, on paper snoozing sounds stupid, but it feels so fucking good. Hard to stop something that feels good like that. Falling asleep at night feels ok, but falling back asleep in the morning after you’ve just been woken up feels so goddamn good. I don’t know what heroin feels like, but I wonder if it’s like that.
OP, I haven’t done that lately, but I used to be a person who would chronically turn off their alarm while still half asleep. I wouldn’t remember doing it and I would wake up late because my alarm was shut off. I tried so many different tricks to help me get up on time and I finally figured out what works for me personally…
What has worked for me for years now is to have two devices with an alarm. The device physically closest to me (my phone, often on the nightstand or in the bed itself) will ring first. As a failsafe in case I turn it off without realizing, I have a second device with an alarm across the room from me that will ring some time after the first. Because you have to get up to shut off the second alarm, it’s much harder to do it while half asleep. And because you already woke up at least briefly to shut off the first alarm, you’re more likely to hear the second one and not miss it because it’s too far away.
I figured this out after years and years of being a frustratingly chronically late person in high school and college. Once I was an hour or two late to a freaking final exam in college and the professor was nice enough to still let me take the exam. It’s been a struggle, but after employing my current method, I haven’t had many issues.
Nope. It doesn’t at all matter how much sleep I’ve gotten. Even if I consistently get 9 hours of sleep every day for the entire week, it still feels so good to snooze. Obviously it’s easier to not snooze as much if I’ve slept more, but it still feels fucking amazing.
It has always been this way for me, no matter how much or how little sleep I get. It’s wild to me if you don’t experience this.
I experience this all the time, and it indeed feels amazing. It doesn’t seem to be related to the number of hours I’ve slept, or to cumulative sleep deprivation. Going back to sleep after hitting snooze is just blissful.
Or they’re just not a morning person. If I have to get up early, it doesn’t matter how long I have slept, even after 10 hours, I have to be up at almost an hour before I don’t feel like I would rather go back to sleep again.
I was and still am proud of myself for dropping the last season after two episodes and never finishing the show. I read the books last year and they were great. Still cant believe how far behind the books are compared to the show.
