Oceanside after sunrise thoughts

"Man, I wish I had one Inspector Gadget arm"

Just watched Walkabout (1971) and parts of it feel like an inspiration for The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King

Further thinking of some wild cases relating to brain injuries- people blinded, but denying they're blind- people who can see but their brain no longer registering it - they believe they're blind but dodge when something is thrown at them. Or denial of paralysis.

We're passengers.

If I lose my memory, w a family hist of it, will I feel relief from the reality of every moment reflected on the past, or horror due to deviation from cages of our human consciousness that build every moment on the past?

Would living in the present be scary for reasons other than being unfamiliar?

I respect how much my youngest niece pursues experiences for the plot.

Nearest Waffle House is hours and hours from her, but she and her friends still drove out to grab a bite and get pics.

Obviously not about the quality of the food, but about building memories. 🫶

Impressed to see the process of buying a car has in nearly no way improved or become more efficient in the past 30 years.

T-Mobile is automatically installing a 'Holy Bible' app on new devices? 🤔

The story isn't powerful enough for you to deliver it without one of these 16 people? Ehhhh

A word for that.

Feel it's so much easier to enjoy a movie when the actors aren't mega famous.
Actively avoid movies with "big" actors.

"I wonder if she's going to be depressed..."
"What, you want me to scheduled some zoom sessions with a therapist for your dog?"

Look, she and I have never been apart for more than a couple days 😂

Favorite project so far this year has been gearing up to launch a bug bounty program with up to $1M max payout for critical web3 findings.

Watching an episode of Boyfriend on Demand next to my elderly mother.

In her deep German accent
"This is some straannggee shit"

And now I'm explaining the popularity of dating sims globally 😂

LIB Reunion not even 15 minutes in and 😦

Agree entirely. It was another platform but I had responded that the ignorance and eagerness that they show up with to excuse this is exactly what will be used justify violence against them. And then came here to write this

The following day I saw atrocity apologists demanding "Well, why was Iran sending girls to school during a war?"

Yyeaaahhhhhh.... 😐

Uhhggg that's now?? ☹️

Have accidentally done this twice. Obnoxious.

Had a nicer table for Valentine's Day dinner than Anthony Weiner's party at Per Se in NYC, in the early 2010s.

It was a famous friend's reservation who couldn't make it so he gave it to us, but still 😆

You can't meet those people by telling them they're wrong. Need to show them

Hard to address something so willfully unaware of the reality of the climate that we live in.

When he's bringing up his religion, it is specifically in a context to counter Christian nationalism. Which is clearly center stage in our country. I'm an atheist. I'm an antitheist. But even I can
