It’s funny but you see the same thing in sports, or I see it specifically in hockey. Phenom kid gets drafted and at 18 has the social skills of the hockey puck he’s playing with. By the time he’s 36 he’s not the player he once was but is a more well rounded individual with age and experience. When you focus all your energy to become the best at something, like a PhD, athlete, musician, whatever, you sacrifice some things along the way for sure.

Staten Island ≠ NYC. Place is a cesspool. And I don’t have a horse in the race, just viewing it from over the border in NJ. Nobody likes Staten Island, it’s filled with aggressive bigots.

Need to befriend more drug dealers.

I remembering loving Windows 2000. Where’s the love for 2000? It’s probably because that’s when I started really getting into things, and by that I mean looking at porn (12-13 years old), and so I needed to figure out how to unfuck my parents computer many, many times.

Had to get a new laptop for work. Came with Windows 11. It’s fine. I actually like one feature it comes with that windows 10 doesn’t have. I went through the rigamarole of uninstalling all the nonsense and stopping tracking (yeah, sure I did), and all that. It’s a pain. I did it with windows 10. And 7. And I’m sure I fucked around with XP. I’ll fuck around with every windows I get.

My PC is windows 10. I won’t upgrade. When I build a new one, who knows!

It’s like a toddlers oldest instinct, just flex all of the back muscles and fly backwards. I’d be sitting on the floor with my son, tell him to stop throwing toys, boom, head hits the floor.

Maybe they just want blue alien people.

I think they’re suggesting we eat them.

I know Jersey City has made a big push to bikify the city, and limited parking in new high-density development, with the idea being if you build it, they will come. It’s part of an overall plan that they date out to 2060. Shit takes time. Doesn’t mean you don’t try though, that’s for sure. I’m hopeful.

This is nothing new though. I remember being in middle school and teachers saying that the most sophisticated newspapers at the time were written at an eighth grade level. Basically, it’s the level where you’re not alienating potential customers, I guess. And I suppose there’s some benefit to dumbing down things like news. Maybe. I dunno.

What a blip on the radar they were. I remember watching a video on acid rain in first grade, so early '90s, and that was it, never saw it again.

Either I’ve been completely oblivious to the “the,” or OP threw a “the” in here. Could’ve sworn it was just Toadies.

Great song, great album.

It’s just one challenge at the federal level that makes this all go away. Hopefully. Unless higher courts are incompetent or equally corrupt. But this is America right, where things like that don’t happen because of the Constitution or some shit.

Good thing concert tickets aren’t overpriced and only available via resale, so I can see humans perform human music.

Hard for us in America too, but it’s because our trains suck.

I prefer my crashes to be remedied by holding a button for seven seconds.

Shit, time to go rewatch the series I guess.

I think it’s less about the size of one’s genitals, and more the need to compensate for them with material possessions. Just own your shit!

It’s the greatest show ever, and Jimmy absolutely needed Bunk to tell him that, but Jimmy the drunk was a fun guy.

I called it all macaroni. It was either macaroni for a tube, or spaghetti or linguine, and obviously things like ravioli and tortellini and manicotti were there own things. The problem is I grew up in New Jersey, and when I finally saw these words spelled it hurt my brain.
