Yeah, maybe work on making their switches not start double-clicking after a couple of years first.

I'm on my third-or-fourth one that has done this to me. Once this one gets too bad (they inevitably do) I am through with them. It's a shame because I really do like their peripherals. The mouse that convinced to keep buying them was an excellent device that lasted a very long time and I only replaced because it was a dinosaur. I used their solar powered keyboard for a decade-and-a-half, too, until I accidentally dropped something on it and broke it. Now, the switches in their mice die on me after a year or two without fail. They've clearly cheaped out on components. Fuck em. Goodbye Logitech. I will not miss their software.

It's 30 degrees and I live in a "miserable" humidity area. If I tried to run outside, I'd end up in the hospital. I walk to the gym anyway.

The numbers between zero and one are where all of the fun is!

Razors are expensive,

They don't have to be! Dual edge safety razor blades are like $10 for 100. You could splurge ($50 for a nice one, or hundreds for a really nice, probably unnecessarily expensive one) on a nice handle that will last you the rest of your life, or get just about as good a shave with one that costs $10. Heck, if you're lucky you could find some old, nice one at a garage sale that's already been around 70 years, and will easily still be working fine when you're dead. Unfortunately, like just about everything else old and good, they've become a bit trendy, so it might be hard to find deals like you used to be able to.

This made me briefly wonder if the flat earthers also think the sun revolves around the Earth, but then I remembered I don't really care what they think. I wasted a not-insignificant portion of my late-20s and early-30s trying to reason with unreasonable people online. I'm done with that.

If anyone is curious where the real quacks hang out, check out evolutionfairytale.com. The forum is particularly juicy. If you are feeling particularly adventurous, try and join it and see how long it takes to get banned for "equivocating" (they love to accuse anyone advocating for real science of that one.)

Oh yes, the forum rules states in the first paragraph:

The primary goal of this forum is to provide a place for honest, educational, civil, and fun debate on the topic of origins.

The second paragraph contains a link to the "Evo Babbler Percher Alert" which is a page dedicated to accusing anyone advocating for evolution as being wrong no matter what they say.

Yeah sure, honest debate. You keep believing that.

1991 - the year of Jeremy's release - is 33 years ago.

33 years before 1991 was 1958 - ie the time of Elvis and the Everly Brothers.

What’s stopping someone ...

Your average someone has no idea what any of that means.

I may have harvested my beets a little late.

I miss Saturday morning cartoons. Sure, looking back, a lot of those cartoons sucked, (quality is on average much higher these days) but it was more about the ritual and the expectation. Saturday morning TV was for me.

I just keep downloading albums of MP3s like I have since the late 90s. It used to take hours and half the songs were mislabeled and real sketchy quality. Now, it takes seconds to download an entire album, and they're almost always correctly labeled and high quality. I tried Spotify for a while, but it really seemed like it was for attention span deprived people who want something different every song. Gimme full albums any day.

My favorite niche communities have come to Lemmy, but they're very inactive. Which is good and bad. There's much less filler content, but less substantial content as well. It's nice not having to scroll through miles of junk to find the good stuff, but I do wish there was a little more good stuff.

Overall, I think I'm glad for the change. I wasted a little too much time on Reddit for sure. Here, at least I can pop on and see that there's nothing new I'm interested in and do something else rather than scrolling through all that filler to find a nugget or two.
