This guy sucks.
They all gasped and freaked out because they thought I was hurt, but then I popped right back up and they all laughed, for what it's worth.
I used to live in a brick rowhouse, and the arched transom started to crack. I thought I'd diy repoint it myself, only to find out that a previous contractor had "fixed" it by jamming cardboard in the cracks and filled it in with caulk. Totally legit.
I know we shouldn't criticize people's physical appearance, but why did she do that to her lips?
It was probably only 5 or 6 feet to the ground. I was very, very lucky to walk away unscathed.
The theme song from Pictionary on the NES.
I once went to a friend's party in college, who's house I had never been to before. Everyone was just chilling in the hot tub and asked me to get in. It was pitch black at night, and there was only one open spot in the tub. I went to walk around the deck, but apparently the hot tub was on the edge of the deck. I took a confident stride towards the open spot, where the deck apparently ended, did a complete front flip into the lawn and landed on my feet. Completely unscathed.
I could have landed on my neck and been paralyzed, but but some sheer luck, it all worked out.
Can everyone please stop linking to Linus? He's a YouTube huckster.
No, but I never miss a chance to punch down at Florida.
Thanks! I use Excalidraw occasionally, but only in light mode. Derp.
OT: What program are these diagrams made with? I've seen them floating around recently and really like the looks of them.
Where can I get one of these?
Seriously though, American Auto makers think EVs aren't taking off because people don't want them. Bullshit, they're all too expensive.
I'm 44 and still have one student loan left. Wife and 2 kids, and yet.
But, but, the tan suit!
I'm 43, almost 44, years old and went through a bought of alcoholism during the early part of the pandemic. I went through treatment and have been fine since. However, I can't help but feel that all the news in the last few months is just the worst. Between the AI bullshit, the wars, the effects of capitalism, and the political situation in general it's just the worst. Is it just me or have other folks noticed the same trend?
Edit: I should have also mentioned the enshitification of everything tech related.
Edit 2: Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. For some more context, yes I'm American and live in a state that's about to ban the wearing of masks in public. I haven't had a drink in over year and have been in therapy for 3 years. I don't watch any news sources and rarely read media websites. But yet, that information seeps into my life somehow. I donate blood, I make charitable donations, and try to live a good life. I have 2 amazing kids and a great wife. It's just hard to not end up in a doomer mindset at times. A Bitcoin company bought a power plant up here that has an existing lease to use a lake as cooling water, and it's heated up the lake to the point that it's killing fish.
