You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself get depressed after watching a romcom.

once saw a man smoking weed out of an apple with a complete stranger in times square and when a guy who was rooting through the trash for cans saw he looked at me and said "anything can happen in midtown!" so I don't think two scoops of rocky road will make you a pariah

I really need America to adopt gelato culture, because what do you mean it’s almost 2 o’clock and I can’t just pop out for an afternoon ice cream in New York City without it seeming weird

[nick @HuggableSquare]

@TheAuKrystalian @koffie_ch incorrect and also wrong

@AddisonPeele @Hhowg237 @darkestarvar that's Les Wexner, he bought the brand from the founder Roy Raymond in 1982

@c4_r1a @VoxPrudentia this was a thing in some US states during COVID, in NY they called them "Cuomo chips" because bars would sell bags of chips or pretzels (or even weirder stuff like a few grapes) for $1 with every drink order to comply with the mandate

@tabled_salt @NoahFence36 @SteelCityClaire also even if you're doing things that aren't necessarily "adult," you have so much more autonomy, you can just get up and go do something whenever you want, as an adult I can travel and not ask permission, I can decide to do things on a whim, and I never worry my age will stop me

@tabled_salt @NoahFence36 @SteelCityClaire this feels like it's very unique to your experience or area. my local bowling alley has a weekly league that then does karaoke in the cash only bar in the back, my local casino is constantly full of people, all kinds of breweries and bars that are always busy and do trivia nights

@EFCevie I hate to defend NJ, but putting $48M on local taxpayers to pay for world cup fans transit, while also disrupting the people who rely on that same transit to get to and from work, is just unreasonable, and FIFA should be willing to help pay for those costs

@hot_cocoa_girl @tismtanker SIX?? I truly don't know if I have even one single recent picture that I look good in

@ronylouis0 @InfinitySw4g @cosmonations1 @llthingstranger @Schlormpisback you don't think there's enough open source code in the world to train an LLM?

the no phones concert debate is a crossroads of the deepening anxiety society as a whole has fallen into ("it's dangerous"), and also the incredible human ability to rationalize something I don't personally like as something that is genuinely harmful for everyone ("it's ableist")

@notlasagnarey @VenomousWilly @notlikeothrgrls I'm currently unemployed but when I had a full time job I didn't wake up until 9am on weekdays, today I woke up at 5pm, and I will probably sleep until maybe 2pm tomorrow 🤷 I'll be the first to admit that I have a bit of an odd relationship to sleep though

@Heartbleedsfoya @kiracrest02 jesus was regularly accused of sorcery and using the power of demons to perform his exorcisms, and if you believe the Talmud, sorcery was even one of the crimes he was convicted of by the Sanhedrin

[nick @HuggableSquare]

@f4micom you also have companies like Tesonet who back Oxylabs, another residential proxy provider, which also work closely with NordVPN, and seemingly multiple other large VPN providers now

[nick @HuggableSquare]

@f4micom the general residential proxy market is incredibly shady, Bright Data (formerly Luminati) are not the only people doing this, but they've probably been the most public about it, since they were the people behind HolaVPN, their SDK goes into more than just smart tv apps

@Mirrormn @soncharm I have a local parking garage like this and people will still back in, making it substantially harder to get both in and out, on top of the fact that it's a ticket-able offense

[nick @HuggableSquare]

@thatcelalt @chhopsky I think this depends on the player, because I truly do not care about the reality of the Horizon Festival. I mean the first thing my friends said was "this could never exist in real life." you regularly race on streets with active traffic, it's a vague pretense to get you driving

[nick @HuggableSquare]

@OofieTV it's on the FH6 supported wheels list (https://t.co/R0b9TxQK2j) so it should work fine, I would say try it, see how you feel about it, and then you can always upgrade later if you're enjoying it and start running up against the shortcomings of that wheel specifically

[nick @HuggableSquare]

lotta people in the replies to this tweet deserve to be smacked in the head with a shovel

[Tito’s n Soda. 🇻🇮 @ViSneakerBoy]

Why don’t yall put yall backpacks under the seat instead of the overhead bin like the flight attendants tell yall?

[nick @HuggableSquare]

@Gwared LaCroix is pronounced that way because it's originally from Wisconsin and as such is pronounced the same way as the St Croix River, also it was created specifically to counter Perrier's "snobbish" branding, which would be hard to do if you pronounced it La Crwah

@DocomanDaveo @roxy_witch_ the divorce thing is partially because moving between states can be a real hassle compared to moving in state, there are requirements like transferring your driver's license, car registration, different car inspections, voter registration, insurance, tax liabilities, etc
