the whole point of going on a trip is ruined for me if i can't find a perfect hotel or airbnb to stay at. feels like a waste of money to stay at a dumb boring hotel
@UnfilteredSoccr Was in Europe in 08, feeling really lonely and went to a soccer bar to watch Euros. A Croatia fan saw I was American, took me into his group, and kept calling me “Lando Donbon” cause that’s the only American player he could remember (even if he was a little off on the name)
Watching Severance as a design nerd is an exhausting exercise, constantly fighting the compulsion to point out every ph lamp, barcelona chair, dieter rams hi-fi
@WiReD619@SanDiegoLoyal this is a shot in the dark, but for weird reasons I'm desperately trying to find another pair of these swim trunks the Loyal shop sold in like 2023. Does anyone out there have any idea how to even start looking? What happened to all the old merch?
My fav thing about having a standing weekly bar trivia group is it's an awesome way to invite a new, cool person to a low-stakes hang.
It's such an easy way to break the seal on a new friendship.
@zoeplzshutup Yeah, the Westin is incredible. I'll have a day to kill in LA in a couple weeks, so I'm trying to do two quick ones. Maybe VDL & Stahl since they're close? Have you done Disney Concert Hall? I've got a soft spot for Gehry, but I wonder how much detail the tour actually gets into.
@simonsarris "A little bit famous" seems like the ideal amount for both the fan and the famous.
I've met a few niche musicians, designers, etc., and it seems like it's still novel for them to be recognized and appreciated. And it makes for a significantly more mutually-satisfying interaction
