I don’t own a cloak, but I’m 90% confident that they’re more convenient than coats/jackets

Human brains have the strangest triggers.

‘This exact thing will definitely kill me, this nearly identical thing is fine.’

Existence is wild.

I feel like my oats have been disparaged. The peasantry demands an apology.

What’s going on with that guy?

I always wonder how much of the ad hell some websites have is necessary to maintain the website and pay employees a (hopefully) livable wage vs pure greed.

One of the worst things, in my opinion, that came from the old Internet was just how shady and sometimes dangerous ads are.

What has helped me with this was seeking out local bands and seeing them live. Check out local bars with live music nights or open mics, wander around the biggest city in your area and look for interesting flyers and stickers, or [other useful advice]. As a bonus, when you find bands you like they often play shows with bands that are of a genre you’d never seek out yourself.

I felt that was true for a long time. There are a lot of sub-genres out there that don’t promote that kind of thing. Honestly, and this is probably me wearing a conspiracy theorist hat, a lot of hip-hop that essentially glorified a lot of horrible traits was just what a lot of old, rich white dudes figured would make them money.

I’m a software dev. I went to a recruiter and shouted “ME WANT JORB!!!1” and they gave me one.

However, I was only able to get my foot in the door because of friends I made in school.

I could be wrong, but wouldn’t AIDS make it way more likely to get cancer? From my uneducated perspective, that seems like it would be a common thing.

Seems pretty low from my experience.

EDD sounds similar enough to ED that people might get the wrong idea.

With that being said, I’m not going to use the term extensively.

A close friend of my deals with schizoaffrctive disorder. One of the greatest guys I know, but it definitely has a huge impact on his life.
