It’s not even loading for me (Vivaldi on Android). I ran it through Textized. It’s on the Verge alright… verge of unreadability 🙄

Every time that song comes on I have to brace myself for the feels that are coming

Sting - The Soul Cages

This album was written when his father died. It’s a loose concept album and it devastates from beginning to end but if you haven’t heard it before two of the tracks hit hard as standalones:

Island of Souls The Soul Cages

Fucksticks, decksuckers, this thread has it all

Exactly

He’ll really do anything except the things we all know will bring the advertisers back.

¿por qué no los dos?

While getting a smog check, the proprietor told me that there was more crime than ever in our area. I was baffled. He looked to be my age. Had he forgotten the '90s? People will believe things they’re told over what they see with their own eyes. Smh… and I’m finding a new smog check place next time

Ah, the tao of internet

Ahhh hexbear. I was there at the beginning, and left after a few months. It’s strange to see their dysfunction become more widely known. There were some nice features on their fork though.

Conservative TV commentators love dropping buzzwords, dog whistles, and conspiracy theories, to the point of incoherence. Dear god it’s been word clouds all along…

There was drama in Warhammer tournaments involving a really thorough amount of rule-breaking, and weighted dice. Two Youtube videos explain:

Shorter and more entertaining
Longer and goes in depth about the rules broken

OP these two pieces of advice from an old college professor might help:

• If you can’t choose between two things, make a list of all the pros and cons of the first thing, then a list for the second thing, place them side by side, and make an emotional decision.
• Always have a Plan B.

About 15 years ago I left the career path I’d started to move cross country and go to graduate school. I thought I might want to do research. Some wonderful things and some terrible times came out of that. I learned and grew greatly. Strangely I ended back on a similar career path, not as far along as I might have been but not back at the beginning either. Nothing’s a mistake as long as you learn from it. Whichever path you take, check in with yourself sometimes to see if it’s still working for you. If not, ask yourself what you can learn from that info.

If you have any questions about specifics I’m happy to try and answer.

hey! i’m so old i saw that in the movie theater!
