i think we're onto something here Mr Wooster
rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

horniness doesnt scale
I am having fun on Bluesky now! Early Bluesky was certainly more anarchic and looser and overtly hornier; I think it's hard to scale those particular qualities. What worked as a community of 40,000 or even 400,000 won't always work at 40 million.
Do you mean early BlueSky was more fun than current BlueSky?

shut up and take my money
If they can have “rage rooms” where break stuff with hammers, why can they have “kaiju rooms” where you gleefully stomp cardboard building and toy tanks and maybe where a rubber suit?

hard agree, DST is manufactured insanity
“Permanent Standard Time (not springing ahead in March) could prevent 300,000 cases of stroke per year and lower nationwide prevalence of obesity by 2.6 million.” #DitchDST

Ah yes, the Epstein ballroom. Lots of fun to visit. It is even said that it's full of beautiful women, almost as many as Mar-a-Lago, and many of them are on the younger side.
Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

I use vim btw.

Because one day I woke up and the right side of my body was so sore I couldn't get out of bed.

True, I'd been an absolute goblin sitting at my desk too much, but I'd developed this funny lean in my chair with one hand on my mouse, one on the keyboard, while working.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month
