I'm sure that's part of it. I think also the last Fyre festival became such a sensation that people actually did wish they had gone just to be able to say they were there. For people with lots of money and nothing better to do, maybe thats all that matters
Fuck yeah bro. I'm about to break my social media addiction with an even more powerful addiction
Fascinating, thank you for expanding on this!
Gothmog gets screen time?
Edit: nvm that's the uruk general. I was thinking of Morgoth
I recently learned that the guy that wrote this song is Neil Cicierega, who is also responsible for Potter Puppet Pals AND makes music under the title of Lemon Demon, which I had independently started listening to a few years ago. Funny how one guy is responsible for so many things that I've enjoyed over the years
Nigel Richards. Check out Will Anderson's youtube channel, he covers pro scrabble matches in the style of chess commentary, and he has a lot of videos featuring Nigel
A few weeks ago I stopped at a mcdonalds and caught what looked like the manager packing burgers with his bare hands. Like, grabbing the patty, bun, lettuce, everything without gloves. I tried to take a picture but he saw me staring and put some gloves on.
In trms of the vibe that the title gives off, I guess. First category is a fairly serious-sounding, usually 1 word title, and the second category seems to be a grab-bag of silly titles and titles where the first word is "______'s"
Not Southern Europe, but I recently spent time in a little town by the dunes in the Netherlands (Castricum), and it looked a lot like this, even some of the architecture
And I'm in agreement with Biden, I think. I love Bernie and think he would have made a great president, but with how close 2020 was for Biden, I doubt he would have won the election. In fact I think part of why Kamala's doing well is for the same reason that Biden did well in 2020: Trump wanted to run against Bernie in 2020, and he wanted to run against Biden in 2024. Trump struggles when things don't go the way he expects them to, and I remember in 2020 a lot of trump's arguments were about how Biden was too far left, almost like he wanted to be making those arguments about Bernie instead
Same in Kentucky. We elected a democratic governor, we can do this!
Aside from that, if all the current waterfront property goes underwater, then previously undesirable land will slowly become more valuable, once we know where coastlines will land (it depends on when and at what temperature warming starts to flatten out). When that happens, it becomes another avenue for wealth transfer to the rich.
For me, learning to manage my life in a way that works with my ADHD. For example, if I learn I need to do something, and it's something I can do now, I get up and do it. If I don't, I'm likely to forget or put it off too long. Finding ways to build routines, like I suddenly decided I should lick my teeth when getting ready for bed, this makes me realize they are dirty, and I feel forced to brush my teeth before I can sleep. Before that I wasn't brushing every day. You have to figure out what ADHD prevents you from doing like a normal person, and plan around it.
I don't medicate right now because I have enough control to be able to function at work and my day to day life without it. But I've also had success in the past from either Vyvanse and Strattera (took them at different periods in my life)
Something about boys maturing slower than girls, I'm sure. Jk it's what you said
Really! That does surprise me
