I’m so glad I’m not the only one who saw that

Almost anything Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters. I only exclude the Michael Bay TMNT and the two recent Ghostbusters movies, everything else is great.

Reboot and Beast Wars were also two of my favorites when I was young. I’ve rewatched Reboot, I’m going to have to find Beast Wars. Now I’m going to have to find my Beast Wars toys too.

No problem

I do this too! I bought a couple of mini notebooks so I can keep my shopping lists in my purse.

I know this is a meme space, but since there are quite a few comments about whether this is homophobic or not, I’ll leave this article here. Judge for yourself.

100% agree and its like you took the thoughts out of my brain. The people I know who watch short form videos a lot have no attention span or patience. I agree that lack of reading, and IMO streaming services like Netflix, also contribute to this.

I’m very happy/lucky that my city has a pretty good reading community and lots of indie bookstores. I’ve become a lot more vocal about reading and books when I talk to people offline, even though most don’t read. I just want to encourage others to read, a lot of the nerdy shirts I used to wear have turned into indie bookstore shirts so I can advertise. I talk about my local libraries, again I’m lucky to have 4 branches I can access: 1 county and 3 city circulations. I encourage people to use the library for printing (it’s cheaper than that big corpo store you use and the money stays in your community), borrow books or movies, use digital services, and different book sales and musical events.

If I can’t do much in the big picture, I’ll at least promote as much as I can to help people I have direct contact with.

I’m the opposite, light mode hurts my eyes so I change to dark mode everywhere. I also love bright lights and open windows, I still have to use dark mode because the bright light backgrounds give me headaches.

I don’t get TikTok or short form videos. They are mostly nonsense that just shortens the attention span of viewers. Or the trends and dumb challenges, like why does everyone just repeat the same thing as everyone else? Is it just to “be cool”? Because it’s not cool, it’s dumb, you just look like a stooge or a sheep. Or the ones where people mouth the words and put some movie line audio over it? Like wtf is that? It’s all so mind numbingly dumb!

Also, I don’t understand a lot of the music kids listen to these days. It started when I first heard dubstep, it’s progressed to a lot of the stuff that gets popular. Just give me some good old punk rock or 90s punk/pop-punk and I’ll be happy.

I noticed this when I was out for a walk one day and a couple of high schoolers passed by. I had to do a double take because they legit dressed like me and my friends back in high school…almost 25 years ago 😑

Go birds!

I didn’t catch that it was a joke, I thought it was a misunderstanding or person legit thought it was a typo, but I also don’t think it deserved downvotes.

I’d be fine with that!

I would be ok if they did this and replaced everyone as long as we got a better ending. They can even put name tags on everyone so we know who is who. We got a coffee cup in one episode, I think name tags would be fine.

I’m pretty sure Lady Gray is only sold by Twinings. Earl Gray is a little too much bergamot for me, but the Lady has citrus in it that mellows out the strong bergamot flavors. And loose leaf tea is always better IMO and I mostly stick to basic oolong as my daily tea.

Hope you find some stuff you enjoy.

Not quite a joke, but I quote It’s Always Sunny pretty often. I love the show, but my partner has never watched it, so he never gets those quotes. There are even times when he says something from the show and I laugh, then have to explain that he would understand if he watched the show.

He still won’t watch it 😑

I picked up some with a mix pack of loose leaf tea. I did not like it, it was way too smokey flavor to me. I hate to waste anything and I would have found a use for it. Instead, I gave it to a buddy of mine and it’s now the only tea he likes to drink.

I’m also not an Earl Gray fan, but I do love some Lady Gray!

just started that one last night and I’m loving it!

World of Warcraft, but to be fair, it’s just about the only game I really play. I dabble in a few others on Steam, but I always end up back in wow.

I bought a Nintendo 3DS this year and I’ve been trying to play that more but my books are so distracting lol
