“Dad lore is when your dad tells you the stories of his life before he met your Mother. These seem amazing compared to your childhood”

I’ve come to accept that Firefly is never coming back. But I have a few moments when I think about how it would have gone if HBO or some other related cable channel picked up the torch and ran with it. It would have been great to get a minimum of 3 seasons out of that show. It seemed like they had enough content and character building to show.

Nor Starship Troopers 3.

Yeah, I don’t struggle with boycotting Amazon. The only times I’ve really used Amazon in the past have been for PC parts, audio headphones, and a random thing or two. I do my absolute best not to buy needless things as it is, and I know that there are plenty of other websites to use if I really need to get something online. (I knew this was gonna come in handy one day ha.) Here’s a website called amazonalts.org. It’s curated websites/online stores for the ethical consumer in mind. The categories are Food, Home, Clothes, Beauty, Books, Electronics, and Miscellaneous.

Lasagne. And I hate Mondays.

Thanks for the reminder to go to sleep.

I really like it. I also like Hit Me! Hit Me!

A few things to comment on.

| I didn’t get an iPhone until 2021 or so and all of my android phones before then ran slow in a year or so.

Like your computer, smartphones slow down when you have a lot of things running/idling in the background. They also slow down with bloatware. Cleaning your phone’s memory every so often is a smart practice to incorporate into your ownership of the device. CCleaner is the one I download every so often to do a scan and clean what I can. There’s bound to be a better app option, but that’s the one I know about and have used before.

And just so we’re on the same page, I bought a refurbished Pixel 2 back in early 2020 and it’s been running fine for me. Haven’t noticed any issues with operations except for the screen and the battery not holding its charge as long as it once did. But to be fair, my screen has a few hairpin cracks in it from dropping it on accident a couple of times. And the battery hold on any smartphone degrades with age and usage.

| That never happened with my iPhones.

You’re either super lucky or you’re the kind of person that gets a new smartphone every year or so; for some reason or another.

As I mentioned above, smartphones naturally and unnaturally get slower as they age. But let’s not forget that planned obsolescence is very much being used across the board.

What’s the conversion rate of one MeowMeowBeanz to one Schrute buck?

As a recovering karma whore, I can attest to this.

Oh nice. What kind of ‘indie stuff’ are you making?

I did see that you’re into writing. That’s cool. I’ve been trying to stick with it. I have a decent amount of ideas for stories but not enough typed out. =/

I actually enjoyed Surf’s Up and meant my recommendation.

That all sounds like some big brains kinda stuff. If I may ask, what does OpenPGP cryptography have to do with live music mixing/balancing?

I second this. But I’m asking for a future friend.

Oh cool! Which bird from New Zealand has impressed you the most and how so?

I had to look it up myself. It means Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. It’s a new medieval RPG video game.

That’s rad. How did the beret turn out?

Also, this is the first time reading out trihexaflexagon and also getting a refresher as to what it is. It’s a really fun word to say. Makes me feel like a top tier rapper when I say it out loud. haha

For a few reasons I determined. But feel free to ask it for other TTRPGs.

I’m currently playing in a DnD 5e campaign and wanted to hear and get inspired by others’ wit, charm, and shenanigans.
