Every time I am at the grocery store or Target, I find shopping carts in disarray. I mutter to myself every time “what the hell is wrong with people” as I put away the stray or disorganized carts. #MoralCharacter
As I work today I'm listening to the soundtrack from the 1982 Conan the Barbarian film that was composed by Basil Poledouris. Things are feeling fairly barbaric at the moment here in the Arizona desert
@wendigo@jake4480 crazy I just watched it for the first time last Saturday. I liked it, not as much as you do. I think Gunn’s Suicide Squad does it better and Peacemaker too.
@rasterweb yeah, I’ve had this happen too. I call it out but that’s me. Well “call out” is wrong, I ask for definition regarding the left and try to discuss from there.
Should've posted about this piece on the second generation of video game consoles by @siliconundergro before the one on the third generation I linked the other day. This one's super cool too. Colecovision, Intellivision, Vectrex, Atari consoles, etc https://dfarq.homeip.net/second-generation-video-game-consoles
so who's idea was it exactly to make a US-based mastodon non-profit and bring in a bunch of vulture capitalists and "AI" tech bros to "help" grow the ecosystem
What is the obsession with flying cars? People can’t navigate 4 way stops or roundabouts much less adding another dimension to figure out. If this comes to pass there will be a lot of carnage. Can I get a nice train system? #flyingCars
There's an important problem the world faces daily that not enough people are talking about. Tortilla chips are NOT strong enough. They often break when trying to scoop something as simple as salsa, or even in your 7 layer dips
I am begging people to stop blogging with substack (email bookclubs aside).
every time I click a link it bothers me TWICE to sign in. TWO different pop-ups. I am not accessing these illicitly (well maybe #Substack thinks so) these are not subscriber only articles. I just want to read the article you are sharing that proves your point.
Get a blog (not wordpress though) with an RSS feed. Or at least use a less obnoxious service. No, medium is NOT less obnoxious.
I beg you.
@lapis Suggestions of what to use instead of what not to use? I’m on self hosted Wordpress and have been for a long time. What’s my alternative that’s as easy to set up and use?
@jake4480 just put on Belly’s ‘Star’, thanks for the nudge. Love them, got to see them 3x. The Gorman brothers (guitar/drums) were from the hardcore band Verbal Assault whose album ‘Trial’ is an all time favorite.
In the fall of 1987 I walked into Atomic Records near UW Milwaukee and saw a tape from a punk band from Green Bay and bought it and listened to it a ton... it's now available on Bandcamp.
So to get all of the new #TaylorSwift songs physically you need to buy four different versions of the album. The vinyl are double lps. That’s bullshit and a crap way to treat your fans.
@rasterweb@Ryanteck while on the surface sure, not sure if masculine is exactly right, powerful and intense may be a better terms. Helvetica Black used everywhere, everything is loud and conveys endurance, which comes off as masculine. Internally it’s not reflected culturally. It’s a great place to work, at least how I work.
