If you only look at twitter every tournament must be the most miserable experience of all time for everyone in the entire world

what if instead of getting a job for a while I just tried to get in jeopardy and bribe/manipulate ken for a favorable board

rejected without an interview or even an email notif or anything. this school is a joke of an organization. i just need someone to give me a fucking chance man fuck

haven't been as emotional watching a movie as Train Dreams in many years. not to be too heteronormative and gendered but it feels like a perfect portrait of the American Man. not sure how to describe it beyond that

genesis seeding begins in earnest. if you have rigged bracket requests i'll hear them now, starting at $40

just had the displeasure of reading some tweets from blazers Twitter tonight and I swear there is not a group of people more miserable than them in the entire world. I cannot comprehend the contempt they have for their "favorite" team not the vitriol they spew.

blazers basketball

Anyone that justifies to themselves the feds arbitrarily shooting at fleeing cars is not living in the same moral universe as normal people and does not deserve your or my respect as a human.

Godspeed Portland gov

here's this vintage jeopardy clip with ken jennings

on the one hand it feels like the time is now to act and force out the fascists taking over the country, by any means necessary. on the other hand this feels like it could be trump's reichstag fire and that's a terrifying prospect. just feels like we don't have a year to hope for midterm results

nice run. fun update

2025 has been pretty garbage and straight up might be the worst year of my life but there are some things to look forward to in 2026. we go through the shit times in order to make the good times that much sweeter. or something. here's the new years charcuterie jayde made.

the only TV I've been watching is blazers broadcasts which have a small rotation of relatively normal ads, I'm sitting here watching ESPN on Christmas and the amount of generative AI ads and ads about LLMs is really disheartening. bubble can't burst soon enough this shit is awful

i know its just a trailer but christopher nolan's the odyssey looks like ass to me

Option selecting by registering for 4 classes next term (would be my last term) but dropping them if this job opportunity at the school pans out If you don't hear from me till April it's cuz I'm in grind city graduating a term early

chat I have a moral quandary. I am of course a blazers fan, and jaydes whole family are of course warriors fans. The blazers are now 3-0 vs the warriors on the season. We're visiting for Christmas in a week and a half. How much do I rub it in if it comes up? Do I casually bring it up if not?

getting harder every day to convince myself it's all gonna work out, even when evidence starts trending towards that being true. is this depression chat

comptia certs are such a racket holy shit. $530 for the privilege of attempting the 2 exams required for their entry-level baseline cert is robbery.

copying my friend (and also taking spotify replacement recommendations)

rediscovered this legend of zelda jazz cover album and have been listening to it for soothing finals week vibes youtu.be/vO9Vb0F4TKk

ghosted by the place that told me i'm the top of the hiring list but the school just posted an internal-hire listing i'm literally perfectly aligned for that would be just as good or better and is remote+part-time. insanely clutch timing hoping for the best

it's been a lot of fun being an engaged fan of local sports. the pickles are fun but god i hope we somehow get an mlb team, i cannot imagine a better way to spend a day than at a ballpark in downtown pdx.

bad

tomorrow is the most consequential individual blazers game since like 2021 and maybe. gonna tie my mood for the rest of the year to the result

yorgos lanthimos is 1 of 1 for sure

I'm sick and mentioned I should get orange juice to warm up to help my throat. Jayde was shocked to hear that this is something I grew up doing (drinking warm oj when sick). Is this a thing or did my mom make it up? It 100% works and tastes nice and feels good to drink

NEVERMIND LETS GO BLAZERS BASKETBALL WOOO FUCK YOU OKC

nvm

it happened again but this time our flight is at a normal time to drink beer

accidentally referred to norcal legend darkwizard123 as "one mr wizard" and felt the hairs stand up on the back of my neck

got upgraded to premium class for the first time thank you alaska airlines now i can get a free airplane beer at 8am

interview went super well and i got a 98 on my excel analytics midterm so i'm feelin pretty cool hopefully the portland trail blazers don't take everything positive in my life away from me tonight

blazers insanely fun to watch so fuckin stoked about basketball

keep trying to not get excited whenever i get an interview but this one might legitimately be a gamechanger if it pans out

it's pretty wild living in a time where likely the best player in a sport's history is making his mark. getting to watch it unfold before my very eyes is special

banks that charge overdraft fees belong in the same circle of hell as theater talkers and pedophiles.

found out the new property management company that took over our lease a few months ago hasn't been paying the garbage bill and all it took was a week of back and forth emailing with waste management asking why we didn't get our trash picked up

phone decided to go spicy pillow mode, working with support to get it replaced. phoneless for a bit though, maybe this will be a good thing for my mental

🔥ROUND ROBIN POOLS ARE ALSO BACK!🔥 Ultimate and Melee will be running Round Robin -> Bracket, including a Redemption Bracket for those who qualify! 2XKO, SF6, T8, GGST, GBVSR and RIVALS 2 will all be Double Elim. More info on game rules @ start.gg/gblack

megabonk is going to be ruining my life

taking a course called "data analytics with excel" this term, it's in the BA program and fulfills my "business elective" requirement. next week there's a graded discussion where i'm being asked to prompt a genAI with a question about business data analytics. insanely bleak.

food cooked on a campfire tastes better

started winning hella in deadlock feelsgoodman :)

listen i hated the guy and everything he stood for but if you can't take a step back and realize that this is just another shooting on top of an ever-growing pile and acknowledge that the only country that defends gun ownership with such vigor is also the only one where this happens constantly, idk.

Riptide is a unique challenge but it holds a really special place in my heart because it represents a transitory period in my and a lot of people I care about's life. Riptide was jayde and I's first ever event together, it was where level1 was born with Devon and slimy, and so much more.

gonna lock in to life by watching all of haikyuu again before next term starts

joshman hit the 1000 chillin running shine tech on zain naghmi in 2025 that is insane

there's a soprano saxophonist busking at riptide this year playin videogame music this should be a thing at more majors
