Random shuffle really wants me to listen to a specific group of songs on revanced music.
Doesnt matter if I’m listening to rock, musicals, soundtracks, or medieval versions of “pumped up kicks”, it always brings me back to a handful of pop songs after one or two songs.
I’ve only ever heard of torvalds because of pages like this one and since I don’t watch LTT videos often, I’ve only ever heard his first name connected with the channel.
There used to be a hobby shop in town that catered to all kinds of things, from metalworking, to mini figures, to sewing and leathercraft. Model kits, trains, science kits, and if I remember correctly they even had a small section dedicated to chemistry supplies.
That was when I was a child.
Now that I’m actually in to several of those things, it’s closed. My parents used to go for TTRPG stuff.
I’d love to not have to drive an hour and a half to pick up a leather stamp, or pop in to see if they got a new shipment of metals I need. And don’t get me started on outdoor hobbies. The best we’ve got is a few shitty national chain sporting good stores.
Rushing won’t help that. Speeding won’t help that. Aggressively accelerating and slamming on brakes won’t help that.
By the time I’m late for work, it’s no more annoying than seeing it on any other morning where I’m still going to work, and still have to scrape at ice/frost.
Maybe it’s just not my personal compounding annoyance, because I certainly understand multiple minor annoyances piling on making you pissed.
Lpt: boil water at night before bed, so you can use it to melt the ice off the windshield. Just pop it in the freezer to keep it until morning.
Over the holidays I was driving behind a line of maybe 10 cars, all clearly wanting to go over 55, but not willing to floor it to pass the person going 57 on a two lane road with occasional oncoming cars.
Being the person I am, I like to keep a healthy distance when driving like that just in case I need to hit the brakes hard.
People behind me kept getting super impatient and flashing brights, honking, eventually flooring it to go around me…
All to end up going the exact same speed they were before, but now behind 10 cars that aren’t me.
I did get that satisfying feeling of seeing someone fly by at over 100 on a highway, and then a few miles down they were pulled over, so that was fun. ACAB but so are you for reckless driving.
My grandmother once had my sister and I over for dinner.
She made herself a tiny portion of something and set out a handful of radishes, most of which she ate herself before offering us some.
That was the one and only time she “made” anything for us.
I was 7.
She was not a kind person, she complained about the leaves in her yard constantly to the point where the rest of the family has a running joke about the trees conspiring against her.
She died two years ago and I still miss her. For all her faults it was clear she loved all of us, any time we were on the phone with grandpa she would yell across the house who are you talking to, and when he yelled back she would come in to say hi and ask how we were doing. Never called us herself though.
Weird relationship. Not sure why I’m rambling about this. Thanks for reading if you did. Cheers
