social norms and taboos exist for a reason and you may not think much about them or think they are old fashioned and outdated until someone breaks them

kind of crazy that as soon as nadal retired Spain just had another guy ready to go.

feels like I get asked too many questions when I'm trying to get gas.

Had to be crazy being a German 48er where one year you're losing a war and all hope for a brighter future feels off and the next year you're farming in Iowa.

Doing a real high wire trapeze act after telling a girl I routinely hang out with on weekend nights doing date adjacent activity that I would get her a Valentine for tomorrow night.

Been getting this FB ad for days: who is K and what happened on 8/11/14?

oh my god

I blocked all social media on my phone and can only check on my work computer. I will make it 2008 mentally for self one way or the other.

I promise you. I absolutely guarantee. You are not ready for what happens when you click this link. ovu.moe

If I know one thing about journalists its that they will have written a thousand pieces by tomorrow about how Trump imprisoning journalists is very "canny" and good.

I haven't heard Coldplay's the scientist in like ten years but twice in the last day

Only UMM kids will understand this!

RIP Bob Layzell, May 4, 1940 - Jan 29, 2026. I love his eerie alien planets.

this *gestures broadly over everything* has been more radicalizing (positively) for my mother than anything else I can remember.

Repeat after me: I am not cooler than Yair Lapid. I am not cooler than Adam Friedland. I am not cooler than Greta Garbo. I am not cooler than Scott Adams. But if I stand back and watch and learn, I will be cooler than I am.

passing knowledge of the hit cw series supernatural is a surefire way to make a certain type of zillenial woman really interested in you.

It took a few days, but the DC squirrels seem to be adapting to the frozen tundra #sqrlpix

about the only thing I miss about drinking is the liquor stores because it's the only type of establishment left that looks dingy and squalid enough to mistake for being from 1986.

idea i had

brought up livejournal in conversation with a 32 year old and they had no idea what I was talking about.

How much of mid century life was about dudes going to their clubhouse and wearing funny hats while doing meetings?

haven't heard much from Olivia Nuzzi lately

People who say Al Pacino can't be forgiven because they licked a former child-star are the same people who simp for these folks.

Fan outrage videos these days sort of feel like when youd walk by the park in 1882 and a group of middle aged guys were reenacting the war of their youth while society moved on.

ehhh

the last few weeks for me:

1/17/99

sitting at a caribou while waiting for new tires and the zoomer baristas are doing the 2016 nostalgia thing.

Saw the bone temple yesterday and it was like a slurry of six of my weirdo interests and it ruled.

gonna start doing awards ace style selfies whenever I go to the movies.

The only media this website trusts implicitly is politico/axios headlines.

I'm completely checked out of this nerd shit at ths point. It's been this way for a decade and shows no sign of changing.

Protecting my peace by not reading that interview. 😌

he ain’t sick; but no, he isn’t well either

Dilbert Guy: What can you say? He taught me it was okay to be weird.

I'm the little girl from Signs with Kirkland Brand Sparkling Water.

Just here for a quick FTP!!!

Going through a bad time and taking a social media break. I wish you all the best.

Started talking with a coworker about the sixth sense and she ended up describing a completely different movie and it took me until she started talking about flying taxis to realize she meant the fifth element and I guess I understand why that would be confusing.

I don't think I've ever related to a fictional character more than Andy Samberg in Palm Springs.

They're always the most severe but my favorite depressive episodes are the ones where I stop eating, can't sit still, and am obsessed with being clean. I've probably lost five pounds in a week and smell great.

making small talk at a party and two people recognized a somewhat obscure YouTube channel I mentioned in passing.

I was at a bar once years ago and I was standing outside and this big black dude out smoking told me I looked like I had a big dick.

Just saw a dude driving an old beater blasting the Ramones: type of guy you don't see much anymore.

😎

Current* conditions near Duluth, MN:

I got told I friendzone women by someone I met on the apps last night and I don't know if it's true or not but it certainly felt true when she said it.

it's sort of really fucked up when you love some one very much and find out they did a very bad stupid thing and it changes how you look at them.

He was *37* when he wrapped it up.
