This. I go on a solo backpacking trip every year that for some reason coincides with my birthday… Weird how that works out.

If you like this and haven’t seen “Good Night, Oppy” you should go do that right now.

“Nature is fucking metal”

I feel your pain.

Years ago I threw a party for work friends and acquaintances where I had 30 confirmed and 10 tentative (from calendar invite). I bought a variety of drinks (alcoholic and non) and bought/cooked food for about 50 to ensure there was plenty.

… 4 people showed up.

That was the instant that I stopped giving a fuck. Ever since then I’ve adopted the approach of “I’m going to do something, you can come if you want, but I’m not planning for you”. Or, more commonly, I just don’t organize anything :)

EDIT: I should note that this was a recurring yearly party that got bigger and bigger over 5 years until it just died. Pre COVID.

It was weird that it needed my social security number, bank account, mother’s maiden name, and the name of my first pet to make the order but I guess it was worth it to stay healthy. Thanks bud!

O, and tell Derek I said hey.

You’re supposed to put a link to where we can buy your miracle vinegar/silver mix in your post. Have you learned nothing from these marketing geniuses?

The one I remember from school was phrased slightly differently (but same concept) :

Poor little Jimmy is lying on the floor, for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4

When it gets bad enough that I have to ; )

Though we have been on a kick lately of washing dishes immediately after supper and not letting them pile up.

You just have me a flashback to a game named Nocturne from the late 90s. I didn’t remember anything about it, but I recall enjoying it.

I haven’t thought of that in at least 20 years.

Depends on the state. Down here there are pretty much zero restrictions except with an asterisk that it’s illegal to harm someone with them… AKA, an extra charge of you’re a dick and stab someone.

I’ve been carrying an “out the front automatic” for the last few years.

Sometimes the first, then eventually the second when you realize you did it but forgot you did it.

Do it : D

Luckily those types of communities are now sequestered in private places like discord so they’re unsearchable from the general internet. /s

… Though there was that big discord scrape leak recently so maybe we’re swinging back.

I mean… Expiration dates are mostly a lie anyway. Just do the sniff test, probably fine.

But, on topic, I do appreciate the post since that’s weird.

Edit: I made a comment then realized I’m stupid. So, cleaning up my stupidity…

I don’t know why it’s so fun, but my day gets better every time I get to pet a turkey.

Let’s see if this uploads… It’s a picture of her after 10 minutes of pets

Edit: may look creepy, but she seems to be so comfortable that she’ll close her eyes and just chill. But I’m no turkey scientist. I imagine if she didn’t like it then she wouldn’t run up to me.

My neighbors have a turkey. Every time I walk through the kitchen I look out the window to see if she’s in our yard. If so, I run out to pet her.

Also, if I’m working outside she trots over to see what’s going on and, of course, I have to stop to pet her for 15 minutes.

She just walks up to me and sits down expecting pets.
