Today is my first day off in awhile, and I have the apartment to myself. The best feeling ever. Coffee, breakfast, and I randomly got a short story id...
Also, for 'Murica, I recently came back from the Cleveland Guardians/New York Yankees game with my buddy who's also from The Land. I am toasted! Mazel...
For the select chosen, cherished, and true, I will at this time mention that I am now convinced that my old computer had a linear scroll function; i.e...
] Pernicious in a "fuck this shit" sense, sure. That's exactly what I'm imagining. But I guess it has both... the scrolly-ball (trademark) and the scr...
Ah yes, I now remember that from the ice age in which I used a Windows computer. I was thinking of an antiquated mouse that has a little scroller in t...
My problem is my work computer and home computer were set differently, but apparently I've used both for so long that I just seamlessly switched betwe...
Linear you are. I think it was Apple who initiated this bass ackwards normalization of the opposite direction. In my system preferences, under trackpa...
Towards our previous discussion of mispronunciation after long years of spending time alone and reading a lot, another byproduct of this environment i...
:up: Some would argue that this type of thinking doesn't belong on a philosophy forum. To the extent that philosophy has become what it has in the mod...

What about lymerics? One over-thinking dilettante a day Won't keep confusion away But one too-terse Witty-boy a day Won't enlighten anyone or enrich a...
Sounds like I need to order it. It was in the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series, of which I once had a hair-brained goal of collecting them all...but I ...
This has been on the back burner for awhile; should it move up? One of the most beautiful things I've read in a long time (to me at least, highlightin...
My guess is you googled "baseball goat", and the machine spat out a cringy overlay photo of Ichiro Suzuki, one of the best players of the modern age, ...
Right. As a kid I grew up with birds (budgerigars), and I love birds, but I didn't realize at the time how needy they are. As an adult I would love no...
I've almost gotten to the point where I think having pets is inhumane, as much as I love animals. Maybe a cat, and one that can go in and out, but I'd...
