Thereโ€™s a lot of accounts here that just regurgitate the same stuff like articles and other links. But the commenters, and other accounts that want a foothold here, are cool to interact with.

Since when is โ€œchoosing the successor of an assassinated leaderโ€ considered a game of make-it take-it?

I desperately want out but idk where to even start when it comes to figuring out where, finding employment, securing housing, and everything else that goes with it.

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

On a more lighthearted noteโ€ฆ The Big Lebowski is a stupid film and Iโ€™ll never watch it again.

I know so many people that watched Passion of the Christ numerous times and like, no thank you, once was plenty.

Current An RSS reader that doesn't count. What happens when you stop treating your feeds like an inbox and start treating them like a river.

This looks fascinating - an RSS feed reader that turns an obligation into a delight. I'm definitely checking it out. www.terrygodier.com/current

Today is my birthday, and I'm celebrating by being down 25+ lbs in 2 months + taking my kid to a trampoline park.

Fingers crossed that I can close out my 30s with a great year.

"Now I know millions of Americans are struggling right now..."
"Mm-hmm"
"and the President of the YOU-nited States has a moral ob-li-gation to make the lives of ALL of its citizens better."
"Right"
"BUT!"

This was a thing Ring announced last fall and I canโ€™t tell you how fast I went out to get some Aqara doorbells to replace them.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

The advertising during the game stood out for a high number of celebrity cameos and advertisements for futuristic technology, particularly for products like electric vehicles, virtual reality and cryptocurrency.[136][137][138][139] There were many cryptocurrency-related ads drawing comparisons to dot-com commercials during Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000,[140][141] leading some to refer to the game as the "Crypto Bowl".[142][143]

does anyone else remember when the 2022 Super Bowl had so many crypto ads people were calling it the Crypto Bowl and then crypto just absolutely fucking tanked?

anyway

I realize that nobody is going to feel bad for Patriots fans, even though we spent 6 long and arduous years without going to a Super Bowl, but Iโ€™m having a terrible night.

to be fair, he doesn't mention Bad Bunny by name and he was supposed to be watching Kid Rock so there's a possibility he's reacting to Bob and not Benito

The problem with leaving responsibilities until 7pm on Friday night is that youโ€™d much rather just go to sleep

Sadly no. I think my friends and I convinced the GameStop to let us come in for the release, and maybe a dozen total people showed up?
