I'll take a Double Triple Bossy Deluxe, on a raft, four-by-four animal-style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease, make it cry, burn it, and let it swim.

When it happens to me, I'm usually already dreaming and it comes along when I think I've tripped on something.

Introverts have absolutely no issues striking up a conversation.
Is it mentally exhausting? Sure. Would I rather be doing literally anything else? Yeah, probably. But introverts don't automatically have social anxiety.

Gaaahhhh why is this so relatable

Even if you aren't a mustard purist, there are so many better things to put on a hot dog before ketchup.

Matrix has the unfortunate problem right now where all the big clients have matrix.org set as the default homeserver. Yes, it is a decentralized and federated protocol, but I wonder how many users are registered on matrix.org vs other servers.

It's the same argument when discussing why people need a pickup truck as their daily driver for the one time a year they need to haul a trailer or move a couch. When faced with the possibility of switching from a half-ton to a sedan, suddenly everybody needs to carry their refrigerator with them everywhere.

I'd be curious to know the stats of how many driving trips are done in cities vs your washboard example.

I gave up on Below Zero around the time you're given the blueprints for the hover bike. I just could not get invested in whatever linear narrative they were trying to push, so I put the game down and haven't touched it since.

It feels like the devs captured lightning in a bottle with the first game but couldn't figure out what exactly made it so popular and fun to play. It certainly didn't do them any favours when they got rid of their composer Simon Chylinski. His score was so important at setting the tone.

Subnautica is one of my favourite games of all time and it kills me to know that we won't get another one like it.

One thing I appreciate about Canadian elections is how quickly they happen. An election is called, campaigning is like a month or two and then we find out the new government just hours after casting our votes.

Nothing ruins a day like a late afternoon appointment. Spend the entire day yesterday thinking about it so that you don't accidentally forget which makes you stressed the moment you wake up because you assume that you've overslept and now don't have time to get ready and that feeling stays with you as you shower and get dressed and drag a comb through your hair and it's only 11am but you're fully ready to leave and now have to just sit there and wait as the day slowly disappears.
