Just posted this this morning, so I’ll just copy paste here

I had a friend break up with me. We got really close pretty quickly (by my frigid standards for sure), and spent a ton of time together. We shared hobbies and did a load of work. Aside from one or two little quirks, the relationship was fantastic.

And then idk. It just got super fucking toxic. I’m sure I’m at fault somewhere in there, but for the majority it just felt like my friend was going off the deep end and there was nothing I was allowed to say during any conversation that wouldn’t end up in paragraphs of a text later. I spent almost an entire year of wondering what I was doing wrong, of what I could do to help… just anything.

And then I was told Christmas eve that they couldn’t handle it any more and they ghosted.

We ended up having a conversation a few months later but I was basically told I had no emotional value to them anymore. Talk about a punch to the gut.

So yeah. Fucking painful as hell. And I still don’t understand what happened, and I assume I never will. My now partner has been friends with this ex friend since childhood, so I’m concerned about future get togethers. But what can you do

Love a 50/50 green yellow banana. When they have a good snap and that green taste? Yummm

Whoops! My reading comprehension is garbage lately

I mean the robot is cool, but the human runner beat the world record by 7 minutes??? That is insane!

That’s really cool! What a neat project!

Certainly not to this degree at all, but I do love having a satellite or aerial view to just look around my area. I recently found there’s sprint boat races on a small man made course nearby and I’m excited to go check it out!

Good luck on your future endeavors and I hope you find some more neat stuff :)

For another 2¢ from me, there are a lot of paid DMs out there if you can swing the bill.

After turning in my own DM cloak, I decided to jump into a beginner friendly PF2e game and met a ton of friends. Also became good friends with the GM there and they don’t have our group pay any longer. It’s just friends playing for fun now.

Not to say that will surely happen, but it’s a great way to at least expand the social circle if you want to work your way toward free games some day ahha

I have a condition that gives me brain fog all day everyday. Couple that with untreated ADHD and oh my god my life is a nightmare.

But it’s so misunderstood, so over the last year I’ve tanked at work and there’s nothing I can do but be berated about it because I can’t prove it or get a doctor’s note. There’s nothing.

Brain fog is no fucking joke

I started skiing when I was very young and I was always bad at it. Never really improved, but golly I was really good at super pie-ing my way down difficult stuff.

I switched to snowboarding and it just clicked for me. It felt so much better and made way more sense.

Not to say it’s easy, but give it a try. You might really enjoy yourself.

On a side note, I’ve since learned that I just suck at motion that has me with my feet facing forward. I can’t roller skate or ice skate to save my life, but long boarding or skate boarding are find. I’m a little shaky on scopters, but it’s not as bad as skates

This is really cool. Are you taking the photographs yourself? Are you using a GIS program? Running Q or something?

Clouds!

And other weather phenomena, of course.

I just think they’re fantastic and they change so often and tell us so much

I know it’s not for everyone, but I play online weekly-biweekly and it’s great.

Very excited that the Draw Steel VTT just dropped

Not all of these companies pay hourly. Check the contracts and see if you can ask a worker who actually works there.

My ex got duped into one of these for roof repairs, but it was a commission only job that sounded great on paper but was absolutely awful

This looks so familiar. Is this from a children’s book?

Pointless Sites

It’s a lot of really random stuff. I go through a few sites now and again instead of doom scrolling and I always seem to find at least one really interesting or fun thing.

A lot of the personal project sites and just weird stuff feels like the old internet and it makes me happy

I’m in the same boat. I have a medium -big dog and I’ve had him for a third of my life. He is my most precious friend and I absolutely treasure him.

But I’m never getting another dog. Not because he’s going to break my heart when he leaves, but because of how much work and money goes into owning a dog.

The movie that came out semi recently was also really goddamn good

I was doing backcountry snowboarding on a mountain I grew up near. It’s not anywhere near an established ski resort so there’s no mapped out sections or any safety measures. I was with a group and we were mostly sticking together, but I didn’t want to wait for them to smoke a cigarette so I just went ahead.

The ride itself was a ton of fun and probably the craziest line I’ve ever hit. I bombed it out of the bottom because I could see there was a big flat section coming and I didn’t want to walk through the snow to get out. I rode as long and far as I could, but eventually stopped as I didn’t have enough speed. I was in the middle of a big clearing and didn’t see really any other tracks, but it was late spring and where I was was pretty icy. So I unstrapped and stepped off of my board, picked it up, and started walking toward our meeting spot.

Apparently the clearing I was in was not so much just a nice meadow. Nope, it was a pond. I don’t know how many steps I took before I just fell straight through the top layer. Now I don’t know if the water had just backed up there from an ice floe and then maybe the dam melted and it all went away, but what I do know is that I landed with my armpits on my board and I was dangling.

Thankfully I was a strong little shit, so I pulled myself right up and was able to spread my weight out using my board and otherwise. But when I looked into the hole I had made, it was like fifteen feet straight down to a bunch of big rocks. Had I fallen in, I have no idea if anyone would have been able to find me.

I wasn’t too scared then, but it hits me now and again how utterly close to death I was just then. Terrifying.

Housecat please. I think I’ve really upped my goodness in this life and can hopefully have a calm, warm, cozy environment to exist in next time.

Kinda wild how relatively boring a map is when there’s no evident tectonics
