@akamran@indieweb.social @futurebird@sauropods.win I came to the same conclusion. Also I might try to use my size to finally rid this county (USA) of a certain person by flinging them into the ocean.

@jy4m @bloor I was an automotive technician for several years. A bumper to bumper certified VW tech. I always tell my son when he plans to do some repair on his car and it's his first time doing so: however much time you think you're going to spend on it, multiply it times 3. Even for us pros, things often take longer than you expected due to a seized bolt, newly discovered broken part, etc.

I went to college in the late 90s and early aughts working on a degree in Digital Imaging Technology (basically graphic design). Your comment just made me think of that.

@beyondmachines1@infosec.exchange in my typography class in college, we were taught about CRAP, but we were told it stood for Contrast Repetition Alignment Proximity.

@OneInterestingFact@mastodon.ie @gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green it depends on the size of the swimming pool. My parents had a smallish residential pool installed in our backyard when I was growing up. It took about 30,000 gallons to fill from empty.

@LadyDragonfly@universeodon.com Blood Sugar Sex Magic was released in 1991 and I think depending on what song from that album, they could fall anywhere on that chart. Would you have Breaking the Girl listed as a happy song? How about Deep Kick from One Hot Minute released in 1995? Or were you just referring to radio hits? I don't think I would list Under the Bridge as a happy song, either. 🤷🏻♂️
Cool chart, though.

@flexghost@mastodon.social when I first started watching him circa 1998 he seemed pretty sane. I stopped watching though because even though he would have liberals and progressives (some of whom I found myself agreeing with) on he would be argumentative and cut them off. I got irritated because I wanted to hear what they had to say. This was the beginning of my transition from Republican to Independent to Democrat.

@flexghost@mastodon.social I've heard that's the case. I've never set foot in a VA facility and haven't been on a base since 2004. I spent the bulk of my time in the Navy on ship when we only had movies and "training videos" to watch. I actually used to be a Fox News viewer myself when I was in my 20s. Big fan of the O'Reilly Factor back in the day. I've grown more progressive the older I've grown.

@flexghost@mastodon.social I'm a veteran and I can't believe how many of my fellow vets believe in the Republican schtick. They are all brain washed and they have the gall to complain about indoctrination?

@dancinyogi @marcas this happened to me when I was around 12-14 (I don't recall the exact year). The undertow was so strong it ripped me off my feet in just over waist deep water and drug me under and out to sea so fast I didn't even have a chance to take a breath before I went under. I was a good swimmer, but I was tossed and turned under water before coming to my feet on a sandbar a couple hundred yards from the shore. 😱 It was pretty scary.
