But on the other hand, like if the American economy is headed into the dirt, between the sagging lead balloon of gAI holding up the NASDAQ, the endless circus of corruption incompetence in the whitehouse, I might not be getting a new job anytime soon either and what else am I gonna do

I really don't want to dip deeply into my savings on one hand, and also, I really do not trust the situation regarding flight control (did everyone forget the midair collisions) especially given the compounded situation especially since the government is like... shut down

I originally had planned to visit Japan around this time last year, but decided against it after DOGE started fucking around

The reason mainstream Democrats are constantly trotting out the imaginary archetype of the Decent Conservative is because they are themselves just slightly more polite Conservatives.

After seeing us, she decided to walk back to shore and in retrospect, we probably spared those kids downstream a formative experience

This reminds me of the time in very rural Hawaii where we were hiking and crossing this bridge and downstream about 100 feet from the bridge there were a bunch of local kids splashing in the water and right as we walked by this lady was wading into the stream with a hog on a leash and a knife

a mirror shot of an older woman cradling the face of a younger man, who's been made up and adorned with jewels. a large diamond earring is bleeding as if it's just been pierced, and there are mascara tears running down his cheek.

I think all evil cars should be called Christines and we should have Christine movies like we have vampire movies. Oh no, a Christine!

I guess this gloomy weather is preferable to smoke and heat (which would be normal around this time)

So it ends up creating a tidal wave of garbage and slop created by people in the global south, the only place were these pennies matter.

I am 10000% certain that payouts was what killed Facebook as a usable platform

k☭wagata, a specter haunting europe 👻 @kuwagata.bsky.social · 13h

Like payouts were such a fucking bad idea that should have been yanked a long time ago. It was only ever an act of desperation to try to engineer "content" creation to buoy interactions, but in order not to instantly bankrupt these companies they had to be microscopic in value

Everything except the raw organ meat and the colostrum is old is my guess. The aged urine I think I remember being in a Chinese materia medica and it specifies like the urine being kept in a jar and buried in the earth and aged during the winter or something, essentially turning it into ammonia

I mean it could be a boss fight where like you're too small and weak to actually do any damage to the boss, but fortunately for you the boss has chosen the dumbest weapon on earth and how you do damage is by tricking him into hurting himself

For once I'd like to see a video game enemy with the stereotypical video game flail (a giant spiky ball on a big long chain) where it's actually as impractical as it would be realistically

Too many amazing stories from Gallup, and almost none I will repeat here. However I will talk about what I myself experienced. There was Something in the basement at the Old Rehoboth Church
