Always have water, often have a second beverage with caffeine

The town bit is so uncannily spot, Christ

I’m trying to break my long habit of lurking, I’d like to see the platform grow so I help where I can

Don’t know where in world you are; I’m USA but my state actually likes funding public libraries. Sorry to hear yours are lacking like that, man : /

I’m just old enough to clearly remember pre-internet life and library use, so the coolest thing my library has in my opinion is the huge catalogue of books available at my fingertips through their app. No physical item to worry about means no risk of late fees either, it just returns itself if I don’t before the rental is up.

There are, like, household tools and stuff available as well as a good catalogue of movies on disc. I avail myself of those now and again, but I constantly have a book or two borrowed. That’ll always be my favorite thing my library has.

Huh, neat. Yeah, I’m American so there was no tradition or anything with my story, I was just buzzed at a show

It’s not very strange per se, but I stole a completely regular unmarked glass, by accident, because I finished it right as the next band came on and being kinda drunk I just crammed the glass into my coat pocket so I could clap and generally be enthusiastic

Still have the glass, haha. Can’t think of anything else I’ve brought home besides maybe a napkin or flyer or something

To make driving more appealing, I suggest living in an unwalkable American Midwest purgatory where there’s fuck-all to do but watch tractors circle fields or meth

You will begin to associate the positive emotions of escape and freedom with driving, which will make you enjoy it a lot more

Your mileage may vary, but it worked great for me

A band beanie, yesterday. I wear such a hat almost every day

Amen, my phone doesn’t do a thing to draw my attention unless someone is actively calling me or I have willed it do so for an extremely limited amount of time.

It feels so natural to toss my phone aside and not touch it again for a couple hours, it seems weird to me there are people that, like, cannot do that without anxiety

Rowthdowerrrr

Chiming in as someone who actually owns a few different anime on DVD/blu-ray.

My whole thing is that I like good media. Anime is a medium. There’s good anime out there. As many have already said, those’re few and far between because the vast majority of people working in the medium seem determined to pigeonhole it as genre trash and perv shit.

I kinda stopped watching anime early in my 20s. The late 00s into the 10s seemed like the absolute worst period of time for worthwhile anime being made. I’ve sat through a few more current big-name ones since then and shit hasn’t improved.

So yeah, I don’t hate anime as a medium, I just hate like 99% of the medium’s content

I’m so glad someone added a single dot over the word “fuck” so I couldn’t read it and get offended, whew

I would hesitate to call our foes “Intelligences,” but they are most certainly Abominable, brother.

I listen to a small fan generating white noise and sometimes my cat purring

God, or worse, a conversation around the conversation you’re actually speaking in order to have

Their FAQ page for the holiday hole was fucking incredible. “The Onion on a good day” level comedy

Yeah, I don’t think we’ve had a real “natural state” since we discovered agriculture. Our whole thing is kinda setting ourselves above/apart from nature

Same with my kitty cat, she curls up tight against my chest, in my arms 💕 she is snuggled there at this exact moment, even, since I’m putzing around on lemmy instead of getting out of bed just yet
