I used to have to use a rotary phone. Literally the kind you spin the thingy with using your finger. My first "push button" phone was just a pulse dial phone. It didn't use tones, it mimicked the noise a rotary phone did to dial, so dialing still took FOREVER. Now I just tap a face and video chat 🤷

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

air travel is one of those experiences that has gotten monotonically worse over my entire lifetime

question though: has *anything* in the last 40+ years genuinely gotten *better*?

like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*?

Hey, devs? I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're making a single player game? Start/Esc should ALWAYS, and IMMEDIATELY pause the game. I don't gaf how "epic" you think your camera is I just spilled something. My cat just puked. The dog got out. My kid fell. Fuck you, PAUSE THE GAME

Not sure if I should go to the doctor or just go buy one of those ear washing thingies because my ability to hear out of my left ear just dropped like 60%, overnight, and I’m getting worried about it. It doesn't itch like it would if it was "clogged" with something 🙃

We passed the initial goal in 4 days! So we've upped it - let's push forward to $200k!! Thanks to everyone for buying the bundle and sharing wherever you can.

In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

Laughing how every ad online for "blue pills" pushes "urologists agree" as if that makes it official. The "blue pill" is a capillariy dilator. It was a diabeetus pill and they realized a SIDE EFFECT was "better hard ons." ED (typically) has NOTHING to do with the urinary tract. It's blood flow 🤷

Just had the wildest wikipedia surf I wanted to read up on Millie Bobbi Brown because in Enola Holmes 3, she's credited as Producer Learned she is 22, and is now Millie Bobbi Bongiovi, b/c she married Jake Bongiovi Jake is the son of John Bongiovi Sounds familiar? It's b/c that's Jon Bon Jovi 😦

Had a wild "Midway Mafia" encounter this morning while playing golf at Naperbrook (not where we usually play on Fridays). We were paired with two Mikes. I told my buddy Jon (who is an old college bud) I SWEAR I KNOW THIS MIKE FROM SOMEWHERE We figured it out! It was @proguerammer.bsky.social!!!

there's plenty of restaurants in this town, but the owner of the sandwich shop downtown hates me, says he's gonna kill me, and has a sign up on the wall saying that 5 cents out of every sandwich order will go towards buying bullets to shoot me with.
