One of the best names in the game, easy.

To this day, I love to suggest my tech friend switch to Lindows as a joke. Still kills if they get it, otherwise I have to explain "so it's this old Linux distribution..."

Up and down! 0 motivation to do work but had some nice moments otherwise. And Euro 2024 happening is fun.

Wooo, Framework! I've got a 13 and I love it. Enjoy!

I'm always telling people to REALLY watch Napoleon Dynamite. I think it got quoted and proto-memed to death when it came out, leading to most people having an unfair idea in their head of what the movie is.

The soundtrack is phenomenal. The acting is (mostly) way better than you may have thought it was. Jon Gries (Uncle Rico) was nominated for an Independent Spirit award and he absolutely deserved that nomination. The cinematography is excellent, especially knowing how much it cost to make + how much experience the crew had. Though it's not explicitly said, I think it's ultimately a story about neurodivergent people finding friendship, solidarity, and happiness in a world not made for them.

Also, the scene where Uncle Rico throws a steak at Napoleon is still funny.

Honestly: I cannot have the Instagram app on my phone (both for privacy and for addiction) - I have it installed on Waydroid and the fact that it works like 50% of the way keeps me from using it more than a couple times a week.

I love clarifications like this! Good on ya.

Win's is still so tough to me. I read through each of the statements and my final thought was: he did some bad things, but nothing that's going to get him thrown in jail. Similar to Aziz Ansari if I remember correctly. Now whether or not punishment would be morally right is another discussion, obviously our legal system is Very Flawed.

It was to me too, had to go looking - guessing this from Wikipedia is what it was:

Kiedis acknowledges in his autobiography Scar Tissue that he had sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl when he was 23, before and after learning of her age, in the 1980s. This inspired him to write the song "Catholic School Girls Rule".

I love the idea! If there was good support from something like GrapheneOS or /e/OS I would be looking at one of these.

If Pomykal can avoid major injuries for a while it's over for everyone else, as they say... For me, I like the regular season and therefore I LOVE the AppleTV deal. I'm originally from Columbus (woo lamar hunt!) and basically being unable to watch games without paying for cable was terrible. Now I can watch every game and see the MLS360 whiparound show which is fun. But yeah, the USOC change is shameful, I hate it so much. I hope FCD make a good run in it this year, at least! If the Riverhounds and the Crew can't/won't win it, certainly wouldn't mind it being Dallas.

Oooh, Copa America! Nice, hope that's a good time. FC Dallas has been puzzling, that's for sure. I bought into the hype, I thought they'd take a positive step forward from last year's mild success... nope :(
