SERIOUSLY this one pisses me off like no other. And I can maybe be more sympathetic to tossing biodegradable trash out a car window, like an apple core out into the ditch (which I know can still be a problem shh), but fuuuuck these people tossing the whole fast food sack out the car or whatever. Fuck you, find a trash can! You obviously live in one, you filth, toss it at home! Fuck!

Honestly I’m bringing that energy to the discussion next time.

“All things in moderation” springs to mind. Hitting the occasional vape at game night or out at the local discotheque certainly works a charm. But on occasion while being, as you said, ripping drunk (ideally at like a metal show or sum’m otherwise debaucherous), honking on a proper ciggy can scratch a very particular itch. Ooh, or that morning after a wild night having coffee and cigarette. Hits different.

Terrible, nasty habit tho’. Getting addicted to nicotine is miserable from what I’ve seen. Stay in school, kids!

Devil’s advocate. (I do not actually condone cigs, they smell like burnt butt).

As a non (extremely sparse) smoker who’s pretty sure he’s incapable of actually getting addicted, counterpoint: nicotine tingly tho. 😚

I’m fucked up… need a new phone… really don’t want to lose my 3.5mm jack. Big music guy, have nice head phones that don’t run out of battery. During band practice it’s nice being able to plug into the speakers we have for playback.

Not even sure what’s still viable for an upgrade… Hate the idea of getting a fucking dongle. ಠ⁠︵⁠ಠ

Well ain’t you sweet, cheers! 😏

'Preciate you too, and shall do. Keeping it real is the only way I know how to roll. 🤙

Should be asleep ramble but…

Honestly, had a lot of time to think back in chemo. Wasn’t even old enough to drink yet. Caught early, pretty high rates for success… But still… Lots of time to think. Sat next to sweet old ladies with much harder fights…

I appreciate the cosmic absurdity of it all. This whole experience of brief life in a tiny blip of this stupid cosmic scale of infinity in all directions, billions of years either side… Meaning comes from what we make it. It’s the best of times, it’s the worst of times. Try to enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Find hobbies. Learn a new skill. Get lost in a book, or museum, or at a disco. Get that extra slice. Take that road trip. Learn how to play that instrument. No, it’s probably not too late to start skiing, or climbing, or studying French. Grind if you have to. Cool shit often requires luck, but those who put in the hours get lucky more.

I feed my brain new music every day, and try to add laughter to every room I’m in. Make art, be weird, find the helpers.

Much love

Glad to hear you’re on the mend, friend. The world is a better place for having you in it. ❤️

Despite the sheer absurdity and chaos of it all, glad we’re sharing this weird spaceship called Earth during these wild times.

Rooting for you. 🤙

Got us in the first half…

Maybe stay away from acid 😂

I should go back and finish either way. I definitely get a bit snobby about animation (old school have drawn purist, can’t handle 95% of the 3D stuff happening a bunch now), but still cool to see these stories unfold as an animated series. I just know it will be hard to avoid looking for the shortcuts and rough bits. Hard to turn the snobbery off sometimes. 🥲

This right here is my truth. If 80 miles out & 6 feet deep is wrong, than I don’t wanna be right. Always loved this expression and origin story.

80 miles; 6 feet.

Saw episode one, thought it was dope. Saw drama about the immediate drop in quality before I caught episode 2 and now it’s been a bit hard to wanna jump back in.

That kickoff was so well done! Ya hate to see the immediate contrast…

If not dementia, it was a similarly debilitating condition. Wanted to dip on his own terms before he became a husk of himself.

RIP Rob, you were the GOAT.

Good on you for challenging beliefs and forming your own opinions. Not easy to pull yourself out of these things.

Honestly one of the reasons I’m a big Fromsofty. They are definitely brave enough to toss you a real challenge.

Oh, damn decent of you, much appreciated!

Lmao yeah I would’ve never pulled that, cheers!
