There's that post about Being Rich probably being equivalent to getting kicked in the head by a horse 100 times a day, and I think working fully remotely for the past 6 years did something similar to me.
I've been going back into the office for lunch and I feel like 1000x less insane after catching up with old coworkers and sister department members, finding some data/stats favors that people need done, and just helping people around the hospital.

Ah yes, my MH3U and Bayonetta 1&2 machine. (I also 100%'d BotW on it lol)
"Slow boring"
I am nodding my head.
Underappreciated gem. A lot of people back then just thought "oh another Doom port," but it's maybe my next favorite after Doom 1.

I got into arguments with coworkers who secretly hate their children about how the probable long-term effects of COVID are not worth "having some much needed time away from the kids."
They would always go to "the kids aren't learning how to socialize." Whoops.
Oh so living within walking distance of work is kind of great.
I've run into her blog several times over the years and the opinion of hers that gets a laugh out of me every time I see it is "Deus Ex 1 should have been an isometric, turn-based CRPG."
Very excited to change addresses on account of an Evil Ex. Also other benefits.
Paying rent at two places for the next 3 months because I decided to make some changes in my life but also have a national project I need to be available 24/7 in June and July to wind down before the current lease is up.

Collection About - DESCRIPTION This is a collection of music from unsigned artists who utilized Myspace and/or Pure Volume as their main platform. A majority of the music found here is Metal, Emo, Punk or Alternative. MISSION STATEMENT: In 2018, MySpace lost over a decade's worth of music uploaded by unsigned bands and solo artists. This loss was blamed on corrupted data during a server transfer gone awry, and it is theorized this may have been intentional so as to free up server space and cut costs to keep the website afloat. This was an absolutely tragic loss for the history of music and art. What this project aims to do is create an archive for any and every shred of Metal, Emo, and Alternative style music from between 2001 and 2012 that can be recovered. This time frame was considered to be the "wild west" for metal emo and alternative bands, with many gaining national fandom just by uploading a single 3 or 4 song demo to the website. We are searching every nook and cranny of the internet to find these pieces of musical art that would otherwise be forever lost to time and the black hole the Internet has become. No song too short, and no artist too obscure. Things we are not archiving: Anything that belongs to a still active Record Label, or that are still actively for sale in their original un-altered format (via Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon Music, or any other digital platform). We do not wish to create any issues where copyright may be at play.
Hell yeah. Going to go down this rabbit hole today. There's some really good stuff here (if you had the same taste in music I did when I was in high school, so maybe not) archive.org/details/mysp...
I never made a good impression on him. He was like 5 feet tall and he never got much taller, and then I met his cousin who was 6'1", and I made the mistake of saying "Oh so that's where it all went."
your uncle jack is stuck on a roof. the temperature in the sun is 110°F.
you could fetch a ladder but you don't.
your uncle jack is on the verge of heat stroke.
why aren't you helping your uncle jack off?
I met someone whose last name was "Jacuzzi" when I was 12 and I said "Oh I love your toilets," and his response was "My family will never see a dime of that fortune. We're the furthest away from it you can be while still being a Jacuzzi." To which I said "Oh."
"Get episode 5 of the 1989 Guyver OVA into the hands of every 10th 7-year old right now" is my proposal.
The dynamic is that I am everyone's computer-savvy grandson and it rocks.
I'm seeing stuff about the Canine Life Extension Medicine, and I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a dead heat between Bryan Johnson having the meds filtered through his Blood Bag son and Joe Rogan administering them rectally in the What Weirdo Tries The Dog Meds First race.
Hank Hill saying "AND IF IT GETS ONE DEGREE HOTTER I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR ARSE."
Like two dozen centrist lib dads in Pulaski County are saying this about a data center going up in Southeast Little Rock near Sweet Home (a majority African-American area).
(It's incredible to me that Arkansas is still finding ways to 'develop' at the expense of Black people. Deeply racist State.)
being a guy in a mostly woman office environment is the greatest gig in human history if they can just get over the "treat them like people" hurdle
Sometimes you think to yourself "Actually, I don't remember signing up for a student loan" and you check and see that your dad forged your signature on the only student loan that was ever put in your name.
This is apparently how much the base game and DLC cost on every storefront when bundled and, as much as I enjoyed ER and Shadows, all I can say is: Get it on sale.
NYT: US Fertility Rates Drop to Another Record Low The fertility rate has been falling since 2007, in large part because of a plunge among teenagers
There are some clues in the age breakdown: The fertility rate for teenagers dropped by 7 percent from 2024’s figure, setting another record low for the group. Since 2007, the rate for teenagers is down by 72 percent, and since 1991, when teenage fertility rates were at a high, the rate is down by 81 percent.
Why I don't trust anyone a little too obsessed about falling fertility rates
I love mine, and honestly prefer it to my Steam Deck at this point, but the way that everything is priced, just across the board for every platform (except for Steam but only regionally), is absurd.
Oh that's an *unhinged* price point for a license key glued onto a piece of plastic for a 3-year old game.
Rum & coke, chocolate & peanut butter, Germans & genocide.
Leave it to a German to give a would-be genocidaire the benefit of the doubt.
