Honestly, even without social anxiety, not having to spend the effort to do basic small talk and engage with someone makes it pretty convenient sometimes. The only time I really use the cashier line is when I have a lot of stuff or my kids with me.

I’m trying to book a reservation at the resort, and the only length of time I can select is “indefinite”. That’s weird, right?

Is any other app out there able to handle streaming games to your friends as easily as discord?

It seems like we should probably be looking for the next ship to jump to…

I loved the demo and would also highly recommend the game solely based on that.

I’m just waiting for a free weekend to pick up the game now that it’s out.

A lot of young men are lacking role models and community these days.

More kids are growing up without fathers around now (single parenthood is up from 9% in the 1960s to about 25% today).

Most people’s source of community used to be church, but since the advent of the internet, people are rapidly moving away from organized religion. I think this has disproportionately impacted men, who tend to be less social on average.

And I think in general, a lot of young men feel like nobody cares about their personal struggles.

So, even some toxic dude like Andrew Tate can show up and say “Hey, you’re great. Here are the reasons why things are bad for you and what you should do, and here’s a community of like-minded people to interact with.” and these guys are going to dive in head first.

Oh wow, in my head I pictured it starting around 2006 or so.

Community, IT Crowd, Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Scrubs… The 00’s had a lot of great sitcoms. We didn’t know how good we had it.

It got so popular, had occasional Star Trek references, even a cameo by Leonard Nimoy, and I still couldn’t get myself to enjoy it. It’s such a a shame.

I had them! Hurt myself plenty…

They have them and can do both. I think field sobriety tests might be more common these days if they suspect you’re on something other than alcohol though.

Can’t be too careful out here.

(But honestly this meme was stolen and I didn’t notice)

And the fact that they could be anywhere.

I’ve seen a lot of people praising Mint in here. It sounds like that’s the distro for me to try first.

I have no idea what the original was, but it became a format that people started using for memes. Here are a few random others:

I played the demo for this game, and it’s a really creative concept. It feels like one of those tile-laying board games crossed with an indie mystery title.

The puzzles go deeper than you’d think too. By the end of the demo, my wife and I were trading off playing and taking down notes, while our 2 y/o was excitedly shouting out doors for us to go through next. It was a good time.

I’m pretty sure the first step is hanging out in the woods at night.

We’ve all been there.

The Bull Moose!
