Throw her on a hill and she’ll see that it’s way easier than she expects to find the catch. I’m also pretty high strung, generally speaking, and when I couldn’t get a hang of changing gears, the moment would devolve into sheer panic and make everything worse as I snubbed the engine with each attempt. And this was during parking lot practice with someone’s old car that they were planning on junking anyways, so no need for that level of stress whatsoever.

But then I was taken to a little incline where I could clearly /feel it/ for the first time and after that, I just “got it”.

Yeah, and you can tell just by the look on his face that this is serious business. He’s just got to hope nothing going wrong while it’s recording. I’d be so nervous about something breaking in the machine!

It’s becoming a game for me to guess whether these commenters are being earnest or simply gay folk getting amped up for the season. This is a great sell, and I would in fact buy the t-shirt.

I would still crush this in 5 secs flat. Good job, chef

Holy cow, I remember these skinny books. Chick tracts, ey? Growing up, back when my folks were still fundies, we had a few on the bookshelf and I remember they were my first time seeing ‘nudes’ in print. I think the highlight was some dude who went to hell’s whole butt, nary a leaf in sight. Prior to that, there was only the carefully, tastefully covered parts of Adam and Eve for me.

Hilarious that my takeaway from these was just first sight of full butt.

I saw this post elsewhere and commenters were guessing that it was Brian Eno - The Big Ship

Not op, but I am also someone who used Google Podcasts and after trying a couple free and partially-free option, I’ve landed on Pocket Casts. Been using it a few months now and I wonder why I didn’t try it sooner.

By odd chance, I got turned onto Sturgill last month and I’ve had all the albums on repeat since. I had always liked the odd bluegrass or folk song, but never had a real in with country before this. Excited to check out the rest of this list!

Fingers crossed that one of these are still touring.

This is a song on a little handwritten playlist that a friend made for me back in high school. Great taste :) good memories

Yup she straight up went out into the woods to lie down and die iirc

Even the people who made the deal knew it was bullshit from the get-go

I’ve had a weird path to Deftones. When I was younger, they were mega boring to me, but then I discovered Team Sleep immediately after high school and had those songs on repeat for a good couple years without ever connecting the dots that it was the same singer. It was only this year that I finally figured out the Chino connection, so I’ve been exploring a little more.

Still haven’t sat down and listened to an album all the way through though. If anyone wants to drop a rec, I’ll take heed!

I just saw a thing that a lot of furries have moved over to bluesky, which makes me think of the story how DVD won over the other one (betamax?) because porn was more commonly sold using that format. I could certainly be misremembering that anecdote but in any case, I think whichever social media handles NSFW content better will win out in the end.

I’m still getting my footing, but it does feel like what it was circa 2012 to me. I stopped engaging on Reddit years ago because even in the smaller subs it seemed like not as many people were there to talk anymore.
