I've said this before, but the increasing workification of personal life is so off-putting to me. At my job I do tasks; evenings, weekends, at home, I do life. I do things. Some of those things are chores and some of them are fun and some of them are boring, but I never want them to feel like Job

I was driving a 2003 Honda Element that used to be my mother's this past weekend. Of all the changes to cars in the last two decades, something that caught me off guard is that all the dials on the dash are warm because they have incandescent lightbulbs behind them.

I need to get out to Illinois and go to VCF Midwest (Vintage Computer Festival) one of these years. I really enjoy VCF East in New Jersey, but the videos from the midwest show make it look tiny by comparison.

The best thing about staying in the middle of nowhere is the traditional greasy spoon. I just had a huge three-meat omelette with homefries, thick sourdough toast, and coffee for less than $10.

I get that this is the middle of the woods, and the only thing likely to see me is a deer, but even so, the 6-foot window in this shower was a choice.

What is it about Threads that attracts the weirdest randos to your replies?
Screenshot from Threads where I shared a picture of my car's license plate which reads "ENT NX01" in honor of Star Trek Enterprise's 25th anniversary. Next to the plate is a plumper sticker of a fish with legs with the name Darwin in it. It is stylized to look like the Christian ichthys symbol. A reply to this post reads "Fed up with atheism being forced down my throat everywhere I look."

My best friend told me to claim a spare bedroom in his new house for my permanent use. I think I did a pretty good job of indicating which bed is mine.

Why does UPS even provide that map to watch where the truck is? It doesn't actually provide any useful information and only serves to annoy customers as they watch it move back and forth around their neighborhood for hours.

Looking back, "You're holding it wrong" was obviously a mistake, but the actual problem was mostly a nothingburger. I used my iPhone 4 without a case for years.

Wild that after all these years I still have my copy of that magazine.
The cover of the OMNI magazine issue introducing DS9 with a cast photo, but I've replaced the copy at the bottom with "Bisexuality. Not Gay. Not Straight. A New Sexual Identity Emerges."

As it is Bisexual Visibility Day, I have to share the greatest magazine cover ever again.
Newsweek from July 17, 1995. The cover story is "Bisexuality: Not Gay. Not Straight. A New Sexual Identity Emerges."
The image is three mildly sinister-appearing people.

I feel like this is a probably a good example of the trash taking itself out. I'm willing to bet that, even if I were completely straight, I would have other irreconcilable differences with those women.
