We had some flooding, so I guess Halloween comes around tomorrow.

To be fair, the water is pretty low here where they actually shut down the street... but it's backed up sewer from high tides, not rainwater so...

My proposed plan of, "let's just keep the candy, fuck them kids" was out-voted.

What stupid asshole decided that all streaming services need to have the "Continue Watching" stuff under the fold?

I just want to talk.

Finally getting around to watching Preacher. I read the comics... forever ago.

The intro to S1E6 might be one of jmy favorite fight scenes ever.

It could have gone a lot worse.

I just told him he was going to need to call out of work and spent the next 24 hours babysitting a dumbass who'd never tripped before as he went 5D.

Everyone who knew me's response was just: "Yeah, dude, don't touch any open containers Jackie has in that fridge."

Throwback to the time some dude I barely knew came over to smoke weed, opened my minifridge while I was taking a piss, and chugged a water bottle that had about 12 strong doses of psychedelic cactus alkaloids in it to cure his dry mouth.

"That water tasted weird."

Real.

Except my mom bought cheap wheat bread, and we ALWAYS had tortillas in the house.

No exceptions.

I do the same now but I have to hide the damn tortillas because my godkids will literally sit there and eat five or six of them at a time even if we have a full stocked fridge.

It is noticeable that I have two modes:

1.) Feral, drunken fiction writer hellbent on self-destruction.

2.) Hyper organized, following a rigorous routine, and health-focused.

The only two ways I've figured out to manage my ADHD.

The alternative is staring at a wall and doing nothing.

Is there any joy comparable to completely filling a notepad, journal, or notebook?

I think not.

One more to-do list left and then I get to use a brand new notepad. I finished a whole ass journal earlier this year but I'd had that since 2019.

Then I tuck it in a drawer and forget it ever existed.

My godkids refer to me as Uncle Jackie, or rather my actual first name and introduce me as their uncle. A lot of my closer friends' kids did as well when I was still in California.

I'm not blood related to any of them and I've never even really thought about it.

Talk about a non-issue.

Holy shit, I should not have checked that subreddit.

People are cooked. Or at least the people susceptible to this kind of thing.

The best part about this is that the goat has a Wikipedia page... but the comedian doesn't.

People keep talking about the new Pokémon.

Now one talks about beating the shit out of a Pal with a baseball bat then capturing it and making it endlessly cook meals in your base for your other pals who are likewise engaged in servitude to allow you to capture more pals.

Checkmarks on the to-do list make my dopamine go brrrt.

Amazing how something kind of stupid can do that.

JackieDaytona @jackiedgaming.bsky.social · 8d

How the hell does this actually look WORSE than the original Combat Evolved?

Something about the Needler killed off a bit of my inner child.

My new favorite genre of TikToks: Ranchers standing in front of a truck that costs as much as my buddy's house, wearing a $700 hat, and $2500 worth of designer clothes bitching they're not making enough money and can't compete with Argentinian beef after low-grade hamburger has hit >$5/pound.

It was being used to alleviate opioid withdrawal at high dose.

With some enzyme fuckery someone can get a little bit high on it if they're opioid naive.

It's really dumb at any rate.

Heh.

I do a lot of surveys since I'm not working at the moment.

Today is the third time I've gotten a shady political poll that immediately kicks me when I click "strongly disapprove" about Trump.

JackieDaytona @jackiedgaming.bsky.social · 10d

Wait, it was Matt Furey, my bad. Roided up dude pushing a worthless bodyweight fitness program.

Tbf, Tsatsouline actually had some solid concepts for functional fitness shoved into his weird "I'm a former Spetsnatz trainer" anecdotes at least.

JackieDaytona @jackiedgaming.bsky.social · 10d

Next video was of that dude who purposefully developed asymmetrical muscle mass. At least he's entertaining and knows he's being a fucking idiot.

Back in my day we had to torrent Nick Fury and Pavel Tsatsouline books on shady websites to get questionable fitness advice.

Wake up, make coffee, fire up TikTok since I was up half an hour before my alarm.

Some influencer is bragging on some hyper-expensive thing that is essentially the shittiest version of an ab roller.

"You need supporting muscles for the old school ones."

Yes, you do. And that's a good thing.

But clearly it's a better idea to keep moving them around the pan like a fucking stir fry.

JackieDaytona @jackiedgaming.bsky.social · 11d

Watching my best friend make hash browns is such a painful experience.

I've tried to instruct him. But clearly I, the one who makes hasbrowns EVERY SINGLE FUCKING MORNING knows not of what I speak.

Quit moving that shit around, form a patty and scrape the edges occasionally.

Flip.

Done.

Necesse just released 1.0.

Or did so like 6 days ago and I somehow missed it anyways.

How the hell did I miss that?

Why was it not in my Steam news feed?

Why does my cat only love me when I'm typing?

These questions may never be answered but should be asked.

The alt text on this is perfect.

Also the picture.

I'd mind the white in my beard a lot less if the fucking hairs would stay down throughout the day. I actually like how it looks except for that part.

Going shorter than normal mitigates it somewhat, but by the end of the week between trims I just have occasional white hairs jutting straight out.
