i try not to take modern conveniences for granted. i like my coconot flavored coffee from Cholita, even if they are soft-canceled, and i like attending my polycule metamour's spoken prose night at Dada, even if they're soft-canceled too. it doesn't keep me up at night, that's what the coffee is for.

a lot of instagram commenters say we don't need more coffee shop slash bookstores in Ridgewood, but i have to wonder where they expect to go for canned hard seltzer on a weeknight without running into a weekly stand-up comedy show or a pop-up inclusive speed dating event; Aunt Ginny's??

call me old-fashioned, but i don't care for this new trend of treating particles as waves. i find the implications of the double-slit experiment bothersome. i should be able to fire an electron gun without worrying about probabilistic distribution. i say we pick one; particles, preferably.

video games today are a far cry from the ones i remember - no pun intended. these new releases with graphics reminiscent of Newgrounds - yes, i'm talking about Mewgenics - aren't the sort of high polycount pov ray spectacles we can clock our graphics cards with.

maybe that's the price we pay for devoting so many of our GPU cycles to mining crypto. that's another thing i can't wrap my head around. if i wanted to buy something without using real money, i'd start collecting box tops again. that was one heck of a concept. who came up with that brilliant idea?

i couldn't enjoy my morning cheerios without worrying about the hull integrity of the box it came in. i certainly don't miss that. but marketing schemes have moved on, and even clipping coupons has gone the way of the dodo. so i guess i'll play my indie roguelikes and ignore the Crysis. pun intended

growing up i took it for granted that we had a president who wasn't orange. at the time, none of us even considered that an option. we always picked white color presidents, and eventually, also black. just once. well, twice, but it was the same person each time.

even then, the idea of a third color never occured to us; an orange man. cheetos hadn't been invented yet, the only foods we could even compare him to would be actual oranges. or perhaps carrots. we've made a lot of progress since then, but i do think we had the right idea about orange presidents.
