you need to get one and take care of it and make sure they survive into the 2100s

The Volvo 240 wagon has had a hold on me ever since I was a child and my parents bought one as their first brand new car back in the '80s. It would be wholly irrational for me to buy one as a utility vehicle.

And yet...

imagine playing quiplash against a guy who thinks he's going to get a car if he wins

game show idea: 2 teams of 4 people compete against each other, 1 person on each team is is told they're competing for cash prizes, the rest know the points are made up and it's all for fun.

or that one time they got a specimen of psychrolutes marcidus, a deep sea fish that lives around 1000 meters below the surface, which sustained extreme tissue damage from being depressurized to the tune of 100 atmospheres.
we started calling it blobfish because the mangled corpse looked weird.

very funny how marine biologiests go to the abyssal zone where a bunch of creatures who have never even seen a single ray of sunlight live, just to flashbang them with some high powered LED lights so they can take a photo.

the thing that bums me out the most about being a leftist is how we've been ostensibly correct about where the winds are blowing, and now that everything we said would happen is happening centrists still find a way to blame us for it.

something i really love about The Ring is how it was shot on film without any form of grading in post, and the soft green look was made in camera by using lens filters and diffusers on the flood lighting. incredible craftsmanship.

thanks! weird how hard it was to find.
i guess that's better than nothing, but to walk into that blunder in 2025 feels very disappointing. i expect so much more from her, not consulting people or delaying the release when she first got called out it very arrogant.

yeah, and it's not like she hasn't been made aware of it. i was looking for a few days after it was posted and couldn't see any statements about the verbiage, or an apology. granted, i could have missed it, but i don't care to look it up. the pile of shit is already tall.

Hi, you know that whole "if you're not Indigenous don't say INDIAN" part that Indigenous people have been calling you out on for the past two days? You're still doing it wrong.

she's gotten so icky recently. i used to listen to some podcasts she was on but i had to stop when everything she talked about was how much money she's making and how awesome her acting job is.

the last straw was that video she made on native americans where she called them indians throughout.

i think i was 14 or 15 when me and my pals went to the video store and got 3 of the movie-movies (i think it was epic movie, disaster movie, and the one about twilight) and watched them back to back. shit sucked so hard, and it was the best.

all of it is just close enough to my interests for me to have a deep resentment for everything i’m shown.
i liked it more when all my ads were for pet food, i have fur allergies so at least i got to see some cool dogs and cats

🕸️ｔｕｒｂｏｆａｌｃｏｎ ☠️ @turbofalcon.bsky.social · 1d

its kind of funny how google knows what my interests are based on my browsing history, but there is a wide gap between my likes and what is economically viable for advertisers, which means that all of my ads are for ai powered video editing apps or review channels for million dollar sports cars.

YOU - Suffering will only make me stronger.

ENDURANCE - It's probably this way of thinking that got you where you are.
