Getting a pet. I moved out of my parents' place in 2009, but bringing home a cat a few months later felt like the first big adult decision I had made. I had pets before, but they were family pets so my siblings and parents all had a hand in taking care of them.

But the feeling of "this is a living thing and it's relying on me to keep it alive" was an entirely different thing.

You know Entry of the Gladiators, but you might not think of gladiators when you hear the song.

I got Cavern of Dreams on a whim the other day. I'll be honest, when I first started playing it I didn't really like it, but it's grown on me.

Being nice to waitstaff/receptionists/cashiers/etc, even if there's an issue.

You can be annoyed at the situation, sure. But being nice to the employee shows you know that 99% of the time the problem is not their fault and 100% of the time yelling won't solve anything.

I downloaded a car

I gotta find the perfect song. What is the perfect song? I don't know, but I gotta sit here and hit the skip button over and over until I find it.

Whether or not that song "Lil Boo Thang" is sampling "Best of My Love" by The Emotions.

It is, and I think my mom even realized she was in the wrong, but she kept playing dumb. Mostly because she knew how much it was driving my sister and I batty.

Thankfully it wasn't really an argument, just a goofy conversation.

If you find an empty community and wish there were most posts, maybe post something.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I can see them from my home instance, but also the last post is from 12 days ago so it might just be because it's a slow-moving community.

Do they have to be current-day events? Or can we recreate moments from history?

I got Rhythm Heaven Fever for the Wii when it first came out and just couldn't get it. I mean, I understood what I was supposed to be doing, but I could barely pass any of the songs. I figured I just didn't have any rhythm and put it on the shelf.

Fast-forward to 2020 when I was rearranging some stuff and came across Rhythm Heaven Fever again. I hooked my Wii back up for shits and giggles and started playing and was doing great. Either I had magically gained a sense of rhythm or (most likely) the TV I had been playing on when I first got the game had some sort of latency issue.

Now I've gone through all the Rhythm Heaven games, but Fever is still my hands-down favorite. I put a copy on my Steam Deck and sometimes I just load it up and play through some songs when I have a few minutes to kill.

I just read through The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison again. It's about a half-goblin half-elf outcast who suddenly becomes the ruler of a country of elves. It's a fantasy book, but more about court politics than dragons. And even though that might sound a little dry, it's charming as hell.

Usually it meant finding websites with similar interests and banding together. You might form a webring, or trade banners with an affiliate site, or have community-voted top 100 lists, etc.

In 2000 I had a website about the then-current animated series X-Men Evolution, and I remember getting emails from other people who ran X-Men Evolution fansites and we would link back to each other. Eventually enough X-Men Evolution websites sprung up that one of those Top 100 list pages* sprung up to rank all of us. Clicking on my banner would result in a vote for me. I don't think I was ever the #1 page, but I remember being in the top 5-10.

*if you have no idea what I'm talking about or are too young to remember these, they were EVERYWHERE in the early 2000s for many different subjects and fandoms. I don't really miss the era of the Top 100 lists, because they could be easily gamed just like SEO (emulation sites were notorious for this). But I spent many hours of my teenage summer vacations finding a subject matter I liked, like Pokémon, and just going down the list and exploring.

💩. Gotta make sure the middle name is an emoji too, none of this "he can go by his middle name if he doesn't like his first name" nonsense.

Yeah, I bought a couple of iPods from a thrift store on a lark and restored them back to working condition. I use one of them in my car every day.

My Zenfone 8 has a notification LED. I really appreciate it, because all I have to do is look over and see if the light is blinking to see if I got a text.

Jaw.

A very impressive but ultimately harmless piece of shark jawbone washes up on the beach of beautiful Amity Island, where it is later taken to the city hall to be displayed under glass. The summer tourist season continues on with little to no issue.

If you're gonna throw me, can you at least throw me towards the top shelf so I can finally reach the things up there?

The Cheat is GROUNDED.

We had that light switch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off. Not so you could throw light switch raves!
