I was recently forced to spend time with some gen Z people, and there was a girl who would go on and on about how her ex would rake in something like $20k a month from his tiktok channel. I think kids just caught on that you can be dumb as a brick, morally a piece of shit, and remarkably untalented, but if you get lucky and build a following online you'll realize success that just wasn't available before the modern internet era

Check out the Light Phone. It only has a handful of functions. Talk, text, directions, music, notes, and a camera.

I started walking to school when I was eight. My parents made sure I knew the way and that was that. And on our bikes we went wayyy farther than a mile unsupervised

A girl I dated was friends with the daughter of one of Microsoft's founders and we got invited to their house to watch Seafair. I think it'd be safe to call it a small mansion right on the water with a dock. The kitchen was as big as my whole apartment. The technology was a bit dated but must've been state of the art when it was built. Switches for automated everything. On the water we had front row seats to the Blue Angels. They are incredibly loud up close.

The guy was super down to earth. Had a good conversation where he showed genuine interest in me and what I did.

9.9/10, the hot tub was broken

Just finished it this morning. I liked this take on the character more than David Harbour's and even Pearlman's. More serious and subdued and offered more than quips. As far as the movie, it felt like I was watching a fan film made by some YouTube channel.
