@maggiekarp Apparently new gas stoves have some safety junk where you can’t even get the gas flowing without electricity so they might as well be electric
Everytime you see someone talk about how the blockchain is going to revolutionize or solve something, mentally replace "blockchain" with "spreadsheet" and see if it still makes sense
In this week's episode of DC's Legends of Tomorrow, one of the characters came out as ace! I love this show. Also, I wish that ace characters weren't so rare as to be noteworthy.
land ownership is the original NFT. oh, you "own" this piece of the ground? because it says so on that piece of paper? even though I can just walk right on it???
nothing much, just randomly remembering the time I had a sore throat in college for two months straight (doctors: "It's not strep ¯\_(ツ)_/¯") and the only thing it didn't hurt to drink was Surge so the only thing I drank was Surge
Who looks at Tesla’s self-driving cars almost running over crowds of people and thinks “yeah, I’d let this dude’s other company stick a chip in my brain”
@skyesidhe Ditto. I’ve thought about making an alt, but ultimately I am so bad at mode/context switching that there’s no point. So, I just say less, overall.
twitter's "What's happening" side bar is stressful because I will see a celebrity's name and immediately think "oh, no!" and then it's just some nonsense like they were in an ad

otherwise I would have never bought an Xbox Series S, and replaying PS3/360 games like Fallout: New Vegas, Dragon Age Origins, Dragon Age 2, and Fallout 3 is some of the best gaming I've done all pandemic twitter.com/tekniklr/statu…
Just saw a representation of Pangaea with the Great Lakes in it and realized I’ve just been assuming they were carved by glaciers or something way after Pangaea separated
why yes i would like to adopt a tiny, semi-feral animal with a lifespan just a fraction of my own and then make it's continued survival the lynchpin of my mental health
