Not a gold top Les Paul Standard and a Marshall halfstack, but a fucking tuba. What did his record collection look like?

I don't think he has one. 

He played tuba in school, and now he plays with a community band.

There’s no point to a gold top if you don’t play guitar.

Dude the only point to midlife crises is spending money you don’t have on stuff you don’t need.

Every night around this time, my phone keyboard gets really wonky….It’s irritating as hell.

I was watching After Midnight, and they had a magician doing a seance magic trick. He was pretending to summon a deceased celebrity. Several of the audience members wrote a name and put it in a box. The name chosen was Joe Biden. Politics aside, it completely ruined the vibe, aa obviously he's still alive. I was just as pissed as the magician.

Doesn’t apply to musical instruments:  you have to at least know how to play, even if it’s really badly.  Also, most people won’t know what a gold top is worth unless they watch Antiques Roadshow.

I drank so much I have just a hint of that pukey feeling in my throat, but I’ve also been laughing since 6 in the morning and hope that doesn’t go away soon.

What a way to spend a Friday night, playing Streets of Rage and opening up a can of whoop ass. Good times

Why the fuck does my niece's cat love to attack my hair and head but also loves rubbing on me? She's just a baby. But she's a pain in the butt.

Has a rapist ever changed their mind due to their victims hygiene.

If that happens to you, do you report the attempted rape or take the L because you're too ashamed to explain why they just flaked

I just don't understand how stupid think...then again if they thinking they wouldn't be stupid

Golf is a fucking expensive hobby.  Maybe this is why I liked grappling so much.  Lack of necessary equipment.  Still the lesson today really fixed a big flaw in my game.  Now I just need to be consistent so I can play with family, friends, and clients.

The numbers from my fortune cookie didn’t win me the lottery.

I was told not to waste money on one out of good intentions, and that’s exactly why I did it. If I had listened and not spent the 4 dollars, the universe would have rigged it so the fortune cookie numbers were actually worth a shit. I just wanted to face the loss head on without giving the universe the satisfaction of saying “fuck you” to me.

I had mung daal for the first time today. Now, I can say I tried all the foods the major characters are named after on Chowder.

One thing I like about my apartment is that I can walk to the grocery store, although their prices aren't the best. I did today and then I forgot the bag of apples at the self checkout. Five dollars wasted. 😭

I woke up at 4 am to see the news.

I cried my eyes out at 7 am when I finally got out of bed.

I'm feeling blah today.

The fun is over, time to get back to business 

[The_annoying_one]

I feel….not okay today and I’m not really sure why. 

[Mode 7]

Uhhh...not sure if I heard this correctly but in order to get a PS5 Pro, bro sold his PS5...to his girlfriend? 

Relationship goals I guess 

[naraku360]

I don't know how long, if ever, it will take me to get over today.

If humanity survives all this, big fucking question mark, there's going to be a chapter on how not regulating internet misinformation from the start and re-establishing the Fairness Doctrine during the Clinton administration led to the bullshit we're dealing with now.  Vaccine denial, climate denial, assuming Trump gives a single rat fuck about an Arkansas dirt farmer's grocery bill...

You know why the New Deal worked before anything that didn’t help a billionaire buy a new mansion or a yacht was seen as communism?  Because it was building actual infrastructure.   Roads, bridges, plumbing, etc.  We could have had that with an infrastructure bill for a green future, but no.  The MTG’s hiss at anything that has the word Green in it, so we’re fucked.

Is it possible to be depressed, fatalist, yet optimistic at the same time?  I’ve been moving through all three these past few days.

Insane for 2002. Took such a long time just to fall off the map. Like the programmers made all of that solid for their own benefit.

Forget Jesus being black....

If the first humans came from Africa (which is what the current scientific consensus says), and the bible says God made us in his image, doesn't that mean God himself is black?

[naraku360]

I got distracted from my sad to think about the time Family Guy gave the ASMB a multi-year flood of "What grinds my gears" memes before we called them memes.

On election night, I had chicken biryani, in hopes of America electing a Desi woman, Kamala. My Indian friend said her part of India, Tamil Nadu, is more known for sambar rice. I've had sambar rice before, but I just wasn't in the mood for it. The next day, my Indian friend jokingly said Kamala lost because I didn't eat the sambar rice. 😂😭

You know, typing this made me realize something that I appreciate so much about myself: I am a worldly person. I love the world.

https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-10-23/this-powder-can-remove-as-much-co2-from-the-air-as-a-tree

If the idea of these plants works out, three dozen of these at scale, with about 2000 tons of the dust each where old coal plants used to be, let's see...

.5 lbs of this stuff absorbs 48lbs of carbon which can be sold to corporations to put in sodas, beers, etc.  So one ton would hold nearly 53 tons of carbon out of the atmosphere.  We need to remove about 100,000,000,000 tons of CO2 from everything to even out.   Essentially we'd need at least half a dozen to a dozen of these in every state in what used to be coal plants to successfully hit the carbon removal goal if it can be produced at cost.  

OK, if they get this working, and it actually works out at a scalable rate...we might actually be alright.

I wish I could, just once, not be ghosted as a means of rejection.

This is the last person I would expect it from.

It's consuming my mind and I feel like I'm going crazy.

[new_disease]

Kinda forgot this place existed. Logging back on after seeing I had it buried in my bookmarks I can't help but think about the few people I grew close with on the old boards that I've lost contact with. I hope they're doing great.

That time waiting at the drive thru when I said “corn on the cob slob on my knob” and my grandpa threatened to smack the shit outta my mouth.

I’m sort of accepting at the gym I’m not the main character, I’m the supporting mentor type.  God this is what it feels like to get older.

I’m in the damn Twilight Zone. There’s no other explanation for this….
