Dating in my 30s goes like this.

"Eh...you'll do."

I'm one of those weird examples where Tinder actually worked for me. I don't know how to explain it, but I managed to run into someone there was exactly who they said they were. Honesty on the internet, who would've expected that.

I'M SO FUCKING EXCITED.

I got a pair of limited runs from Nike. So on certain days of the month, Nike will drop Limited Runs of unique colorways of certain shoes. I love Air Max 90s and they released the Heritage collection today. Which focues around styles of various cities. These sell out in minutes, sometimes seconds, because resellers have computers set up to automatically buy multiple pairs when the clock hits 9am. Really hard for your regular sneakerhead to snatch a pair without have to pay resellers an extra couple hundred bucks. I was able to get the pair I had been wanting ever since I saw the release picutres. I don't plan on selling these, they're going into my everyday wear collection. And not on some trophy case. No point to having shoes if you don't wear them. Every pair I own, I wear, even if it's just one day a week. Or they fit a certain outfit. Still, I think I'm going to need a larger tower.

Almost got into a physical altercation with someone who was in the middle of buying ten packages, if not more, of toilet paper, bragging about how much they were going to make reselling it.

The only thing I regret is not putting them through the nearby Cadbury Creme Egg display. The SO reminded me that they were not going to pay the bail money if I got arrested for assualt. Or at least, not right away. I hope.

@greenflashlight I have lists of youtube videos of exactly that.

From a medical and scientific standpoint, I find that stuff fascinating.

Volcica's is so far is still the cutest to me.

Dang, Berenice's floofiness levels are off the charts.

I can't help but feel slightly let down that the painting isn't covered in glitter.

been debating another painting, sighs

throws money at screen

FINE. JUST TAKE IT ALREADY.

@ganymede I was going to joke about how I see through you, trying to spread the word of your cat overlords, because humor is my defense mechanism when I'm flustered.

But seriously. I appreciate you. Trigger has been pulled on the printer already but I'm going to need a lot of paper. If you still wish to help with that, I won't say no.

Thank you.

Whwat @Ganymede said. If you need help, there are those of us around who're more than willing to do so.

Let me know. You're doing a good thing out here, brightening people's lives, even if just a little bit. Your thread on this forum is proof of that.

@wizz My thoughts on how I believe I'm perceived not only here but in most online spaces.

@crawfish You did an amazing job. Thank you.

Why fireworks?

Loud explosives used to celebrate victory in battle primarily used by people who have never actually been in a battle. Fireworks are pretty, don't get me wrong and I'm not shitty on someone's fun, but like a lot of things that touch on this, I have very complicated feelings on it. I'm not bitter at all and that's just something I deal with.

People generally ask me why I stay indoors on the 4th considering the fact that most people who know me also know my status as a veteran.

My general response, "Because what I did in the military is not worth celebrating." To note, I played around in air hangers trying to not kill myself with jet fuel. Good times.

To me, Memorial Day and Veterans Day are far more important than the 4th of July.

And to note, I spent the day yesterday building a computer for my girlfriend so she could play Sun Haven that new Stardew Valley crossed with DnD game. I think that was a far greater use of my time than trying to blow off my fingers.

@crawfish I really love this. I've said it before, Mihaly has been the most background of background characters. I designed and created him to be a support character for @Aria. He was never meant to really amount to anything, or at least, that was my expectation. "A character to be played when time allowed." is the goal I had set for myself originally.

Makes me really happy to know that others put value into that character besides myself.

@testament Look here, flyover state....

You're not wrong.

On random occasions, I'm looking through the member list here on MUSB and come across his name. I'll glance at the last time he logged and what his reputation is.

I often sometimes think about randomly upvoting old posts of his but, I never do.

Miss you, friend.

@arkandel It's coming up on a year that I had to say goodbye to my Old Man. He was old, though I never knew how truly old, his ranges between 17 and 20 since I found him as a stray in 2005. So his passing, while not surprising, gutted me regardless. With that said, I feel like it's even worse when it's a younger pet that you don't expect to develop something like that.

Seizures took him one night, December 3rd. I remember sitting in my car with my fiancé for hours, waiting to hear from the vets in ER. I thought he'd pull through.

It still makes my chest tight thinking about that night. I don't think I had loved something, animal or human, quite like I did for him. Because I'm fairly sure that cat saved me from doing things I'd otherwise regret.

He's the reason I get all messed up when I hear Somewhere Over the Rainbow. But I'm glad you were there with him, in the end. I don't know if Old Man knew I was there in his last moments, but no pet should leave this world alone with someone they don't know.

@greenflashlight No, those dark places I used to go to have passed some years ago, back when I had a lot more demons to contend with. The Old Man was just the bright spot in all that.

The reason I'm holding it together is because I'm at work, and I'd rather not be a huge mess when I'm handling human fecal samples.

ELDER SCROLLS VI

Shut up, I know it's a teaser trailer and it's probably years off, but let me have this.

Isn't Medina Station in S3 still considered the Behemoth? Its splitting hairs, I know.

Watching the show made me read the books. Currently on Nemesis Games, which I think is book five.

I will drop everything in doing and play this, full stop. As much as I love the Rocinate crew, kinda glad there won't be a Jim Holden running around to be Sols resident white knight.

Though I'd take any excause for more Miller, even if that's not feasibly possible. Or Drummer.
