Now that I live in New York I interject into every pizza discussion that pizza rolls started in Minnesota. It’s one of my favorite snarky quips to bust out at the bar. The sarcastic folks love it, but every once in a while I get a rise out of someone.

Being an old can be pretty cool. My 30’s are definitely going better than my 20’s.

Wolves losing 3 in a row for the first time this year, sad.

I love being called antisemitic by people who voted for the guy who used Shylock to describe people. Very normal and rational people

Sorry boss, I didn’t get much done today. I was too busy daydreaming about the Timberwolves winning tonight.

I’ve had the conspiracy theory that if Google and Apple rolled out truly innovative smartphone technology to it’s users it would frighten most people. There is no way my GPS still fouls out as often as it leads on, 10 years ago my tomtom worked better.

I am pumped for game 2 of the Wolves v. Nuggets series. Game 1 was a thriller and I got a feeling tonight will be just as exciting.

Hangovers are terrible.

I thought Obama would help me go to college and stop my parents from getting their home foreclosed.

I went to a good concert last night and now I’m just vibing at work listening to the artists entire collections.

Lamee as shit take, but NBA gametime is my only streaming app right, 15 bucks a month for the season is worth it especially if you aren’t in your home teams region. I get to watch my wolves 2-3 nights a week and they’re is usually a good game on the nights they aren’t playing.

Also shoutout to secondhand wool shirts off eBay, I look for Pendleton or Woolrich stuff if it’s made in USA.

I play disc golf and my city has a weekly random doubles league which is more focused on making friends than competition. I joined a community organization to push our local officials to fix stuff. I also try to take art classes when possible. I’ve done all that stuff for a year now and still only really have acquaintances or distant friends, it will take time to figure out which ones I truly feel comfortable with and can confide in. For reference most people I see at these things are 30+, those folks are slower to warm up to each other since they usually have adult commitments. I did a lot of these same activities in my 20s too and you’re right it was easier to become close with people in a shorter timeframe than it is now.

Reddit has gone down hill from 2016 too. I genuinely think it’s just a big migration pattern from one social media platform to the next. The idiots started in YouTube comments, then Facebook around 2016, Twitter has really gotten fucked since the pandemic, and now it’s moved to Reddit. It’s in the same vein that chuds simply can’t keep to themselves on social media, they have to feel like they’re involved in the discourse.

Crazy to think this could be the 8th and final year of the Sanders admin. Would democrats be entirely different people if they didn’t have to be so invested in the Trump/Biden dichotomy?

I love the Osprey Aether Pro 70 I bought a couple years ago. I’ve used it as canoe pack, on winter ski trips, and both overnighters or week long hikes. It doesn’t have much for exterior pockets, but the brain and hipbelt pockets are detachable so it can be stripped down to a minimal setup. An Osprey daypack can be fastened to the outside as well which works great for me on mountain summits in the Northeast. The only downside is bear cannisters fit kinda shitty and it’s expensive. It’s a great balance of being durable and water resistant while still being lightweight, comfortable, and it can carry a lot of gear.

You can tell a girl you’re a communist but only if it’s cuz you actually read a lot of theory.

I want to start pirating and I want a forever solution to media management. Photos, music, movies/television, audiobooks/podcasts, even construction literature I use for work. I don’t know where to begin however. I’m just thinking I’ll need to spend an incredible amount of money if I ever want to continue any subscription model.

I still check the hobby and city subs that are relevant to me and I’ve noticed r/all has become a reactionary mess. Specifically noticed a pattern of hatred for climate change activism and support of vigilante or police suppression of these movements. I’m not sure if regular libs have been migrating to Lemmy leaving only the worst posters or if they are just becoming shittier.

Talking about inconveniences and commiserating with others is just life. Acknowledging systemic issues may be the source of your misfortune is politics.

Next time she brings it up tell her you’ve become a different denomination of Christian and that she needs to convert to ensure her salvation.
