What kind of high-school experience did you have? Were you in a clique? Were you popular, unpopular, the coolest kid in your Homeschool? Did you have a sweet jean jacket with patches, or maybe a leather vest? Were you an evil villain or a Mary Sue?

@RickiTarr Another home schooler here. So instead of high school I learned how to juggle, unicycle, and play the bagpipes. [not a euphemism]

@RickiTarr my mother Did Her Best but she had limited resources and tried to do too much by herself. Dad had no business being a dad, and still has no interest in it. We don't talk anymore

    Since, my last post ended up in a long thread about the pros and cons of sports, I'm curious, what is your family and personal history with sports?

    I'll go first! My Dad grew up in a Sport's household. His Dad, my grandfather, was obsessed, and he wanted his sons to be too. My grandfather was tall with an athletic build like a swimmer, but he married a very petite 4'8" woman, who never weighed over a hundred pounds. Both my Dad and his Brother were average height with a slight build, neither played sports or were good at it when they tried. Not liking sports became my Dad's rebellion. He became a preacher instead, his Dad grew up in a Preacher's family, and hated it. When I was growing up, my Dad always pushed intelligence and spirituality over physicality, we only had a game on if my Grandfather was there. I got a little of both my parents, I've always been small and plump, what science calls a dumpling (please don't fact check this). I enjoyed group activities and non competitive sports. For instance I played volleyball (very poorly), but only enjoyed it if I was on the B team, and had no pressure to succeed in it. I did go through a brief period where I pretended to be really into sports, because I thought it would impress boys. I'd watch just enough to get highlights. I was basically like Moss in I.T. Crowd. Did you see that ludicrous display last night?!

    juggles,
    @juggles@mas.to avatar

    @RickiTarr never cared about sports, neither the playing of them nor the watching of them; it was the first way I disappointed my dad. Well, I do remember watching a lot of Olympics when it was on, growing up. I have also had some success at both unicycle hockey and unicycle basketball.

    juggles,
    @juggles@mas.to avatar

    @BlackAzizAnansi at least once, maybe three times. One of the maybes was in Feb 2020, the other one recently. We tested negative but have heard it's hard to have a viral load big enough for the home tests to work if you're vaccinated and boosted.

    I literally just opened Geometry Dash and was met with a terms of service pop up.
    "…Why are they showing me this? Did my data get wiped or something?"
    And then I see the Tower and realize that 2.2 just released.

    Glad to finally see it here. Played through Dash (which is really easy for an insane imo, beat it much more quickly than usual), and it was mostly great! Only issue is that I REALLY don't like the swing copter. It's not fun to use at all.

    What starts with 'M' and rhymes with 'feta'?

    There's lot of discussion about Threads.net and its impact on the fediverse. Here are two quick points I'd like to make in response to queries I've received.

    1. I'm aware that users are unable to post links to mas.to on Instagram. This may be due to website reputation rankings rather than any malfeasance on their part. Maybe!

    2. Some time ago we blocked Threads as a precautionary measure. We will monitor the situation and review as required.

    @trumpet if mas.to federated with Threads, I'd leave.

    @RickiTarr I think my record is 60 American Dollars for a bottle of bourbon. Uncle Nearest, it was good, and I also liked that the distillery is Black owned.

    Yesterday was a hard day. Got cheered up a bit today by getting a free bike off one of those Buy Nothing groups on Facebook.

    When last I visited my family I rode a pushbike for the first time in over twenty years and I'd forgotten how much fun they were, how light, how without the context of being on top of an engine you look behind yourself and go "Wow, I went FAR!" and I said "Haha yeah I'm gonna get a bike when I get back to America." My brother said, as many people in my life have always said, "Dan, never buy a pushbike, people throw or give them away them all the time" and everyone's right of course, they do.

    This thing's got two problems, slow leaks in the tyres and not changing gears properly. I've never fiddled with a derailleur before but eh, it's not rocket science, it just goes in and out on a cable; got the derailleur all cleaned off and adjusted up and still no dice so I took apart the shifter mech that lives on the yoke. Symptom was it wouldn't shift down more than a couple of clicks, this is the style where you've got two levers, one has a positive snap and one feels like a ratchet, the ratchetty one weren't ratchetting so I figured its ratchet must be stuck open and aye, its ratchet were stuck open.

    Now if only I'd known this thing came apart on a left-hand thread, I might not have stripped that one bolt and be waiting on parts, but in the meantime I worked it a bit and gave it a drop of oil and now the ratchet bit works if you press up as well as in lol, just kinda hold it together with a squeeze whenever you change gears, it's fine

    Tyres can wait til the weekend, I'll just pump it up now and then

    Also this thing is so high. It's SO. HIGH. I'm 185cm and when I went to see to the bloke giving it away I craned my neck right back to say hello, dude could've been 2m tall. The seat's already down as far as it'll go and I'm 41 so I don't think I'm likely to grow into it. Getting real Penny Farthing feeling tryna ride the thing. Good fun though, and littleun actually managed to Properly Ride her bike today for a few metres, pedalling and everything, so tomorrow's gonna be a dad-and-daughter-and-bike day

    A very clever friend suggested this question and I thought it was great:

    Do you feel like your life experiences have crystalized and focused what you believed when you were younger? Basically, same beliefs, just better understood. Or have you radically changed as a person over time? My own addendum is if you feel like explaining why, I'm always curious to know!

    @RickiTarr no I was taught some really untenable bullshit. Some of it lasted into my thirties. Still getting better
