Fucking love seagulls. Grew up at the beach, gulls everywhere. They used to dig in our trash cans and we had to put heavy weights on the lids. Still fucking love em. They're awesome, amazing trash birds who give zero fucks. I have seen gulls fully steal food from people's mouths. I've seen them sit on windshields and refuse to move so you can drive, including just allowing the wipers to fwap into them repeatedly.

Seagulls aren't cunts. Seagulls serve cunt, and I love them for it.

I've had a few of those life-time dreams, and they fucked me up real good. Several times I've fallen in love with the man of my dreams (literally) and been depressed for days afterwards when I realize I don't have that anymore. It feels like genuine loss.

And one time I was married to an agoraphobic whoopie Goldberg for 40 years, and woke up just as her sister and I convinced her to leave the fake house we lived in for 4 decades, that was 23 years ago and I still wonder if she would have been able to do it or not.

As a dad to dachshunds, I can confirm they would absolutely pull anyone in a chariot if able. That's 100% their vibe

I 100% have seen TLC perform something on that very set, I'm sure of it

It's been pretty helpful in writing fantasy, but most of what it spits out is sort of... Surface level kids stuff, to be honest. But it has helped come up with a few interesting twists when I'm stuck. It's not something they could write a story for you, but it has helped when I need, like, "I have scene A, in which X happens, and even C, in which y happens, help me bridge them by writing scene B." It'll give me some sort of like bedtime story level writing, and then I go in and completely redo it, but it gets me unstuck. The paid ones may be better, but I'm not spending money on them, I just use the free ones.

Oh wow, yeah, that's never happened to me. Green? How much did you put in?

[–] dharmacurious 10 points 1 month ago

Yes!

Also, the static on the screen. I don't mean snow, but the actual static that raised your arm hairs. Whenever my parents needed to leave a note for us, they'd just stick the paper to the TV screen and it would stay there because of the static.

Technology Connections has an excellent video on them. Though, that's not saying much, all his videos are fucking gold

Okay, maybe my town is just not up to date, but these are still in use at all the banks and pharmacies where I live. Are they phased elsewhere?

To make sure I understand, you reached back and grabbed those levers while pedaling and riding the bike?

How many people lost fingers by sticking them into the spokes, I wonder?

It's gotta feel like they've been abducted by existential cosmic horrors. I can just imagine they tell stories of these horrid abductions.

"They just snatched me up, these freakish giants with squishy, lumpy, fleshy exteriors. They tied me down, man, they tied me down and drained my blood! I'm pretty sure they thought I was dead, I played dead. They just tossed what they thought was my corpse back in the water. You gotta believe me!"

"I believe that you believe, Bill. We're gonna find you some help."
