Maris Kreizman@maris.bsky.social · yesterdayThere is a woman at the nail salon on her phone talking her friend through an IPO while getting a pedicure and I would like to ask once again for everyone to just calm down and read a book.
Froggy friends! 💚🐸 These two greet me (hop away in fright) every time I come to water my potted plants.
Maybe the Internet is the real "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil." It would explain a lot.
Being friends with me means picking up your phone to discover a paragraphs-long anxiety spiral monologue and then a couple of unrelated memes I found while waiting for you to respond.
Pharmacy: Flu season is here soon! 🤒🤧😷 Schedule your vaccine today! Me: Do you have the new vaccine for this year already or is it for last year's flu? 🧐 Pharmacy: 😅😇
Is This Seat Taken? I guess I'm dealing with trying to seat people who both hate strong smells and are wearing too much cologne. Annoying but survivable.
Nina Marotta ☢️💙@mrschief7.bsky.social · 5d agoYou're offered $250,000,000 but to claim it you must enter the last video game you've played and stay there for a full year. How are y'all faring in this deal?

Finally made myself a pumpkin spice latte in my pumpkin-shaped mug.
he thinks "Well obviously I'm not wrong so that means this IS a hammer. I actually just renamed it. See the little label on there? Hammer." starts smashing it into Iran, shedding mangled bits of irreplaceable tools. "Nah. This is a hammer," he tells himself and the Iranians. they seem less convinced
pete hegseth thought the military was like a hammer, america's is biggest so it can only lose if the men wielding it are too weak to swing it. then he's handed this set of a billion highly specialized, surprisingly delicate burglary tools, accomplishing things too quietly for him to take interest
COSIGNED. I was so thrilled the first time I played an RPG without random encounters and where the enemies were appropriate for your level no matter where you went (so you couldn't really grind because the enemies kept up even in previous areas).
Brendel@brendelbored.bsky.social · last wk.Something I used to accept as part of game design that I absolutely can’t stand anymore is farming/grinding, that is a mechanic you can only do before a better game gets made that doesn’t have it
I'm loving doing little botanist sketches with these pens 🥰
