Same, but for tea and maté. Though sometimes if I crank too much mate too quickly, I’ll get hyper anxious for the rest of the day. Not buzzed or jittery, just the sense that everything I’ve been working towards is about to come crashing down upon me… and still exhausted.

The oblong shape reminds me of mini corn dogs.

Shawn white: You can’t chain me!

  • The ball was red and smooth and uniform and shaded like it had been painted there or drawn with colored pencil.
  • the gender of the person was indeterminate, perhaps leaning female
  • they did not have a definite look to describe, it was more a concept of a person. They were a featureless, fuzzy, void-white silhouette adorned only by a similarly featureless light blue t-shirt, black pants and black hair, all so ill-defined it was as if they they had been hastily cut from craft paper and slapped over top the glowing form. Like the color scheme of the fitness boxing mascot, but the more simplified form of South Park Canadians, and more amorphous.
  • the ball was slightly larger than a baseball but smaller than a softball
  • the table was rectangular, of beige ‘wood’ with a light grain, and very sharp edges. It looked distinctly like it was out of a low poly video game.

Important question: The ball and table were distinct and known but oddly not “real-life”. The person was very indistinct and the gender is merely speculation. The edges defining their arms and hands became more defined as they approached and interacted with the ball. The color and form of the clothing and hair manifested then too.

Interestingly, I “know” the visualization took place in my kitchen, in an orientation different than my actual kitchen table. I saw the light from the windows Illuminate the table and the ball, and I could tell where I was in the space watching it happen, but the kitchen wasn’t there and neither was I. The table, ball and person appeared alone in a murky dark void.

There are those that do believe the whole “5d chess” thing, but that is not what I got out the post. I read: “Trump is the idiot that would wear a bomb vest to a negotiation and set it off if he doesn’t get his way, because he thinks it would only hurt his opponents and not himself. It’s a difficult position to be in to negotiate with someone that stupid (and that’s a good thing???)”

Probably a number of economic factors. We see a corresponding bump in Bars and dips in College and Family, so I would guess there was an uptick in young adults going straight into the workforce due to compelling non-college opportunities, and then spending their hard earned wages on after work recreation. High inflation or overwork culture may have induced folks to spend more time at work or unwind more after work. Improvements toward gender equality in the workplace probably also contributed.

Whether any of that is accurate or not, I have no clue, but the dip corresponding to the 1990-91 recession leads me to believe the main driver for the 80s rise is economic.

I didn’t realize that the early imperial helmets had salet tails

I can hear these screenshots.

Great game.
