Freetube has been failing consistently on all my desktops lately. None of the instances on the main site work. Can you verify it’s till working and maybe DM me the instance you’re using?

Yeah let’s suggest these kids spending their time somewhere way safer like Matt Gaetz’s mansion.

I feel so responsible for the state of the internet after all the shit I got up to there. Gives me a small bit of empathy for the right wing kids in the newer generation.

43 rotations here as well. I think it’s really hard to see any joy when we have grown up in a world that only seems to constantly take our happiness away at every turn.

I find solace in knowing this is all temporary and thankfully, the world will go on without us. Whether that’s us as individuals or are species as a whole.

Until either of those inevitable points though, know that to some small degree you are not alone and there’s at least one random stranger on the internet who is thinking about you in a caring way today.

Smooth Sailing - Queens of the Stone Age

This song has such an incredible vibe. It was played a lot on tour after shows. In the truck, the hotel, the bar. Wherever.

Reminds me of the good days of making music and hanging out with some of my favorite people. I’d like the whole world to feel free, loved and valid all at once. Might just make a difference.

This is already frequently in my head.

You are a monster.

I hope you are well friend!

Rules 34 is “if it exists, there’s porn of it”.

Rule 35 is the truly interesting one here though “if the porn doesn’t exist, you are responsible for creating it”

Don’t quite me exactly on those, I’m about 20 years out from my /b/ days.

So glad to not be alone on this. It felt unfocused. I think working with Mark Ronson gave Homme a bit too much leeway to make an album that tried to hard to be cool.

It somehow went over the ironic/unironic line that Queens has always danced around.

Like Clockwork has moments that veered towards camp and cheese but never felt insincere or cloying.

Nice masks you fucking cowards. I hope each and everyone one of them dies from colorectal cancer.

Villains by Queens of the Stone Age.

…like clockwork (the previous album) is top 3 for me and may be my all time favorite at any given moment. But the follow-up was just not what I was looking for.

Yes. And don’t let the “no it’s a meta account only now” crowd play that card. It’s the same company sucking the same data in to the same ad drenched glory hole.

This wasn’t the case with the Quest 1 until it was. You could run that completely standalone with SteamVR after the backlash over a required account, then once the blowback subsided, they reintroduced the requirement.

We learned this last year after dusting off the OG Quest and trying to get it running with SteamVR. It straight refused to work without a FB/Meta account. Creating a new one has a bunch of bullshit hoops that failed when attempted behind any type of ad blocking DNS so I gave up and put the paperweight back in the case and moved on.

Fuck Meta. Fuck FB. And Fuck anything else Zuck and co touch.

Sorry for the rant it’s early and I haven’t had caffeine.

If you smoke crack, your partners gotta smoke crack?

Here we go. Pandemic 2.0.

Playing a “backup” on my Switch.

I’m doing my part.

Fuck yeah Oregon. Let’s keep this rolling. Where’s my 2026 ballot measure?

Can confirm. Skinny numetal kid in my teens, too many kitchen and bar jobs in my 20’s and now mid 40’s on Zoloft and apparently old goth dads are on the menu.

Cheers man. May the well never run dry.

Just moved down to Oregon from the Seattle area a few years ago and have a Mach-E.

Similar setup to the other poster here. 50a installed at home. We plug in at night and have charging set to 80% and synced with the local utility to prefer off hours. Price wise, we’re spending about $60 a month compared to the $200+ we’d spend on previous ICE vehicles. Combined with solar on the roof, it’s been a pretty good value. Not a net zero for sure but overall good.

If there’s a long trip planned, we over ride settings to 100%. There’s a ton of 300kwh chargers along I5 (0%-90% in 20 or so minutes every 3-4 hours). We’ve driven from Seattle to LA with no trouble a few times. Takes a little bit more planning but not too much of an issue.

Damn, one more blow to make that neighborhood completely unrecognizable.

Bingo at Sam Bonds was a staple activity back in the day.
