You’ve flown or you’ve flown in? Presumable the former, but I know people from where I’m from use flown to mean flown in. If you’ve only been airborne three times, and all in separate crafts, that’s something special in and of itself.

First grade, they piled all the classes together, because it’s 1993 and we only have one laserdisc player, and we need to watch a video on pollution. Main topics were acid rain and smog and that shit has been with me for 30 years, I will never forget it.

Every board is a politics board … Forever…

I’m an American. I actually like America, for what it’s worth. Canada, however, has the superior anthem.

I’m with you. I’ve been having a harder time getting up. Looking forward to having the sun at 7 o’clock latest, get me up, because I got shit to do. I can stay awake no problem.

suck air through a shag carpet.

Welp, that’s a new euphemism.

Whenever I watch movies, sometimes I need to remind myself not to get caught up and to just allow the story to tell itself.

Yeah, I’ve turned into the one who doesn’t want to go out anymore, but I’m also going out tonight because I know the door swings both ways and that relationships don’t maintain themselves. I think my friends get it, and I get it, and so we remain friends.

I have been very fortunate to have good service for essentially the entirety of my life of broadband. Only going back to when optimum first showed up, they were the only game in town, and it would have issues during times of day when there was too much traffic at the node. Since FiOS showed up (not to shill), it’s honestly been phenomenal, when you put aside the typical bullshit the providers pull. The actual service of packets in packets out, or whatever the Internet is, has been great.

I have great service. I just hate that I have to play the game of “pretending to cancel”.

This is the one that got me. I have zero faith in it loading.

The franglais in me screams that neufant ought to be acceptable. I’m sure Canadians are saying it, who knows what language they really speak.

Franglais is my language of choice after several drinks in any French speaking country. I am from Jersey, New, so it’s the best I can do with my education.

That is news to me. Never thought to dig too deeply into my French studies in middle and high school (two decades ago), and so “apple of the earth” was just appropriate. Like, yeah, why wouldn’t it be apple of the earth?

Igorrrr are solid, definitely doing some different shit. Dunno the others.

Your list shows up perfect when I go to respond, but in normal view, Lemmy doesn’t put your lines in.

I enjoyed it, burned through all four. I had read The Realm of the Elderling series by Robin Hobb and decided to take a break from the more traditional fantasy. Did Mistborn, then Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, before getting into the Bobiverse. PHM into Bobiverse was a pretty seamless transition. I’ve since moved back to traditional fantasy, because I like my reading to be as exclusive of real life as possible.

I haven’t had a good time in years.

I was kidding around, it’s a silly leap, and the post is silly, so I was just suggesting something silly myself. Someone else seems to have done the legwork though.

Yeah, I want to pay you directly. I, admittedly, pirate things. When those things are good, I make an effort to go send money to the creator directly. Sometimes it’s hard, especially with things like books. I don’t want to buy it on Amazon. And unless someone is self-published, they’re getting peanuts. I’d much rather Venmo an author money direct. When Radiohead released In Rainbows way back when and put it out for “pay what you want,” I gave them five bucks I think.

I understand it can’t always be like that, and that the people between a content creator and me do serve some purpose.

Because it just makes sense. Snap, diarrhea. It’s simple.
