Travel is wild. Hello, stranger with laminated sheet showing tour prices. I will go on that tour where I pay a second stranger for a third stranger to take me to a seemingly sea-worthy boat so a fourth stranger can drive the boat to a fifth stranger who will show me a world heritage site. Thank you!

This is the cyberpunk future I was promised
user abbiistabbii: The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing. Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour. It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.
I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words!
That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go
It promotes a growth mindset!!

Your muted words the shrill wailing of endless sirens in text & tags the vast hum of terrible machines in text & tags the coarse grinding of bone against metal in text & tags the jeers and hisses of ungodly men in text & tags
Enough
Wish I'd worn my glasses today
Love it! Does anyone know anything about that U lock sticker tho?

got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing
Parental tip: at the beginning of the birthday party season, buy 15 small Lego sets and put them in the closet and you can just grab from the pile on the way out the door
Will buying this book guarantee that I will get invited to dinner parties where I can tell stories tho
Exactly that, or like you say, hit up Bandcamp? I'm currently listening to Atlantis Jazz Ensemble's Oceanic Suite through the Bandcamp app on my phone with Sony headphones, and very happy with my life choices
Couldn't make it all the way though the whine, but what up with the insistence on objectively shitty headphones? Not streaming does not also have to mean ditching over the ear ANC cans, surely?
A jellyfish in Sydney Harbour, with a building reflection
What up BlueSky asks? I'm not sure to be honest. The jellyfish? The building? IDK. #jellyfish #sydney #construction

I post here
Me: My friend disappeared completely from social media. I can't tell whether she's alive or dead
Them: You could call her..?
Me:

Me: I guess I'll never know
Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
I'd also like folk to reconsider the "friendly ping" that is passive aggressively anything but
Some historical context:

Firing up BlueSky to anxiously await @mattbevan.bsky.social s hot takes on Sydney - Newcastle high speed rail "shovel ready in 2 years" (again). There must be a state election coming?
Whoops just remembered that Clash song is from '77 ( it was just me listening to it in the '80s). Can I sub in Know Your Rights from their '82 album Combat Rock instead

I'd really appreciate it. Fingers crossed
There are also apps that use the camera to validate you're a real person - they do some weird stuff with angles and flashing colours at you - I think the Optus app and Discord are the most recent ones that did this
me, an idiot: words have clear meanings and even when they're ambiguous you can work it out from the context
you, the word "bimonthly": lol no
