Oh I guess I haven't explicitly stated it here but I will be going to Pittsburgh for PierogiCon this weekend.

Baseball is gay tonight

Happy pride y'all.

Would be awesome if this bruised rib wouldn't actually still be getting more painful 2 weeks later. It actually felt slightly better today for the first time since it happened and then I pulled something while cooking dinner and we're all the way back to "breathing really fucking hurts" again :(

To be fair after I got cable internet and was Always Online, I remember AIM was still good. We just need away messages again, a one-click setting for messenger apps that auto-replies with awful song lyrics and auto turns your icon to blank black.

I think about this constantly. In my particular case I specifically am definitely annoying and unwanted by the people around me, but you? You should reach out to that person. You should definitely make the first move and socialize because you'll probably brighten their day. But I probably shouldn't.

Dunno if it was the greatest but the era of LiveJournal,IRC, and message boards was probably the peak of feeling community online. Or I was just a teenager.

Had to rip the classic from Instagram for this

I miss the pre-"always online" days. I miss away messages and ways of signaling that you don't feel like a conversation at the moment without the phych warfare of read checkmarks. It meant that socializing was still an active activity online, not a passive one.

I don't follow the NBA but this was still addictive and I finally got one

torn between: - living a life of love, wonder, and fulfillment - becoming an even better poster

mountain climbing is cool as shit and I'm not going to tell anyone not to do it

I love and defend Wawa but really only for their hoagies and coffee. They keep adding other things to their menu and they're pretty bad at just about everything else and yet they continue to insist on doing more.

AI really does have some benefits and good applications! For example, I'm reviewing proposals at work and since the proliferation of AI, getting through the stack has gotten much quicker! So many more of them can obviously go right in the fucking trash at only a quick glance!

Dear media: you don't actually have to give platforms to the dumbest people and opinions. You can simply not run columns that are obviously from morons.

Me: I've been in a funk lately, and the past few books I've read have been strange and downright depressing at points, maybe I could go for something lighthearted next. Library: the Jon Krakauer books on your hold queue are now available!

Race report: Rothrock by UTMB 50K #ultramarathon Holy shit did I ever fuck this one up badly! First race that truly went poorly for me and also includes my first visit to the medical tent! But, I still finished and now with hindsight, still got to take a lot of good lessons!

Good lord the Enhanced Games look sad. Good.

Introduce yourself with 10 bands you've seen live: Tool Between the Buried and Me Blue Oyster Cult Dream Theater Knower Ghost Metallica MC Frontalot Papa Roach The Aquabats

he was going to ski down but broke his skis on mount rainier before the attempt so he just casually ran down the mountain averaging less than 10 minutes a mile

an rmi guide set a record by going from the paradise parking lot to the mount rainier summit and back in 3:43 last week, a week after he broke the mailbox peak record as a warmup www.seattletimes.com/life/outdoor...

Looking up the dictionary spelling of "grody" to make sure it's not actually "grodey" because I'm using it in official work communications.

Get in loser we're going skiing In May In the goddamn mid-atlantic

Ex-fucking-cuse me?

Late to post but can never let the NFL draft pass without posting this annual gem.

There are three ethical ways to find out about new music: 1) See a band open up for a band you already like at a venue that only serves vegan food 2) Hear them on a label comp that you paid $19.99 for to hear a tossed-off B-side from one band you already like 3) AA+ or better PS2 soundtrack

It gives me hope that there's still a level of Dudes Rock out there that AI could never hope to approach and is fighting the good fight to keep at least a small corner of the internet lit with life.

Wanted to make one of these then realized I cannot make one in good faith. I carry too many scars from the video game wars, I can't treat these as anything other than ragebait.

First lawnmowing of the year and I yearn to live in the desert where I can just have dirt and rocks for a yard.

At least got the country right on the one botch. Also this >> Wordle, and I still like doing the daily Wordle. www.maptap.gg April 9 98🔥 98🔥 80✨ 99🎯 98🎯 Final score: 947

The snow is all melted, spring flowers haven't bloomed yet, everything is just dead trees and mud and somehow Vermont still feels magical. Fuck I love it up here.

Oh man the cum trees bloomed today, the great pollening is imminent.

It's ⚾ opening day ⚾ so remember to celebrate with a hearty 🎊🎉FUCK JOHN FISHER🎉🎊 🧢 SELL THE TEAM BITCH 🧢

Not just the feeling of saying goodbye to a world and characters you've immersed with, but thinking about the after-story of them having to say goodbye to each other too always hit. One of the things I loved about Expedition 33 was how it weaponized the fuck out of this (iykyk).

Today marks my final trip 'round the sun in my 30's. Time to get a head start on planning some sweet mid-life crises.

Yeah most people don’t know this, but I have driven through all of the lower 48 plus Alaska and state that takes the longest to drive through is Connecticut

There should be one in every town. What a great way to quarantine the area's 50 most annoying guys away from the world

While I appreciate the slippery dumps recognition, Delaware absolutely has claims on muskrat and scrapple as well.

Probably won't actually happen but I just YOLO (does anyone still say YOLO?) applied for a position back in Japan ama.

"Open the Strait of Hormuz. You may not receive the help of any other sovereign nation. Fastest wins."

I went to my camera roll search and before I typed anything the first suggested search term was "Beppu Jigoku" (別府地獄) which refers to the hot springs in Beppu (literally called The Seven Hells, and I have pics!) so obviously it knows I'm responding to this prompt. It then returned zero results.

On the road for most of today and out of curiosity I plugged the trip into newly Geminified Google Maps. Not a cartographer but I believe I may have spotted a problem
