    I feel like I need to buy some of those lights where you can choose the colors and just have them year round.

    February - red, pink, white

    March - green

    October - orange or purple or a combo

    November - red and orange?

    December - red and green

    And then other months just go with your vibe.

    Literally same. Luckily I had managed to avoid thinking of it beyond my teen years for a good decade. But it has come back worse than ever when I recently started listening to a podcast about some philosophy.

    It’s fucking terrifying and depressing. Anyone who doesn’t believe in an afterlife but says it’s not terrifying and depressing is taking mega levels of copium.

    At one point recently I remember I was walking around in public doing a bit of people watching and I was like holy fucking shit everyone is just walking around like this is nothing. Everyone is gonna die but we have all this random bullshit everyone is doing not realizing it’s gonna end. Idk.




  • So a caveat to this is that digital signal is absolutely shit compared to analog. Back when we had rabbit ears, even if the picture was fuzzy/suboptimal, you could watch the show just fine. Nowadays? If you’re not getting 100% full strength signal, it is literally unwatchable. The audio and picture freeze every two seconds which makes it literally impossible to understand and follow dialogue. Either I get a crystal clear picture and audio or I get an unwatchable mess. There is no in between anymore with digital signal.

    Plus, I only seem to get this crystal clear signal from the top floor in my home and near a window. If you have a lower floor or have the antenna a bit too far away from the window, it also just does not work hardly at all. This was never an issue with analog signal for me.

    Idk if it’s just me or not. There are a ton more channels overall with the digital signals compared to analog, but it’s frustrating that I only seem to be able to watch them if the signal is absolutely perfect.


  • I mean it sounds interesting but I’m kind of disappointed that the gallery link doesn’t seem to work. It would be nice to know even remotely what kind of things are inside these vending machines.

    Like are they canvas prints inside? Little postcard sized items? Pottery? Like I just want to know at least very vaguely what kind of content is involved.

    I have to say, I felt the same until I got my first pair of wireless earbuds. Idk if I’m just clumsy, but I always managed to get headphone cables caught on things or I would like forget I was plugged into my computer or something and try to get up. I would get snagged on door handles and it would frequently rip the headphones off/out of my ears.

    And oh my God when this stopped happening with wireless buds I was amazed at my freedom of movement and lack of being infuriated lmaooo. It felt so amazing.

    I know that like for gaming, the slight delay in wireless buds isn’t really going to cut it for most, though.

    There are other downsides too, obviously, but I finally understood what all of the fuss was about with wireless headphones/earbuds. I don’t miss wired anymore.
