Retired git on Colorado’s Front Range. I take photos of birds and critters and flowers and mountains and skies I was a failure at that other place. My only followers were apparently pornbots. Photos are my own. Jokes and memes, not so much. I will boost alt-texted photos.

Putting sensory deprivation tank on my bucket list. Anyone need anything from the other dimension? (Will not kidnap people)

@farah
I would like to suggest a slight, but significant difference to your bucket list, if you don’t mind. Rather than the term, sensory deprivation, I prefer sensory isolation. This was the original name for the tanks Dr. John Lilly proposed. The tanks do not deprive you of your senses, but instead isolate them from external stimuli, essentially allowing your brain/mind to generate its thoughts from purely (almost) internal processes. A slightly gentler way of looking at it, I think.

Schadenfreude is complicated for me. It seems like a really dark way to find pleasure? I mean I get it, no doubt, I just feel like indulging in it too much isn't healthy.

@Adam_Cadmon1
As humans, we have a sense of justice. It’s rooted—or conjoined with, in some sense—a sense of agency, both our own and that of other beings. A common definition of justice is something like, you get what you deserve. Religions preach that in various ways. Karma, heaven and hell, that stuff.
Schadenfreude, imo, is a celebration at seeing justice served, irl, in real time. Slap-stick mimics justice, but skews it in several dimensions. It can be harder to decode sometimes.

“Here lies a nearly-complete archive of Whole Earth publications, a series of journals and magazines descended from the Whole Earth Catalog, published by Stewart Brand and the POINT Foundation between 1970 and 2002. They are made available here for scholarship, education, and research purposes. The Whole Earth Catalog was an American counterculture magazine and product catalog published by Stewart Brand several times a year between 1968 and 1972, and occasionally thereafter, until 1998. The magazine featured essays and articles, but was primarily focused on product reviews. The editorial focus was on self-sufficiency, ecology, alternative education, ‘do it yourself,’ and holism, featuring the slogan ‘access to tools.’”

I loved my copy. I don’t think I ever bought anything I saw in it, but the serialized marginal stoyies were fantastic. It finally fell apart about 20 years later after one too many moves.

Autocorrect keeps changing casket to gasket.

Although I don't write about caskets that often, and AC might think it is doing the right thing when it changes casket to gasket, it changes the entire flow of the conversation, post or writing. 😂

PSA: With that said, always make sure your casket has a good gasket. :awesome:

I’ve noticed that my iPad’s AC seems to have a bit of short term memory for stuff like that. When I notice that it’s made a change, and I uncorrect it, it will remember the next time I type that word, as long as not too long a time has elapsed.

@rephlex00
I went to a Hooters once while on a trip with a friend, just to “prove our manhood” and say we’d been to one. The weirdest thing to see was other guys getting take-out. Wait. What? Nobody goes there for the food. We had a nice chat with our waitress, who was a transplant from where we lived at that time.

A comment from The National Review.

“Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi and the nation’s foreign minister were killed when their helicopter crashed in the fog. Raisi, known as the “Butcher of Tehran,” was responsible for the deaths of thousands, going back decades, through his actions in Iran’s domestic affairs and its support for terrorism around the world. We join others in expressing our deepest condolences to the helicopter.”

I hadn’t thought of that. These are just “old fashioned” donuts, not the frou-frou tarted up ones. The way they grease up the bag they come in suggests they’re fried in lard. Good call.

My maternal grandmother did that too. Unfortunately my mother bought into the margarine blasphemy of the 50s and 60s and never cooked with lard or even butter.

Julia would not have approved of any of my mother’s cooking, I’m afraid. I never complained about dorm food at college. It was largely an improvement over what I grew up eating.
