The greatest thing I own or will ever own is this old retail standee where Dracula casually reveals a coffin full of Doritos and Pepsi.

I think this might just be the way I need to do this:
I am looking to connect w/ an old friend from a play-by-post RPG forum called Mythweavers. They went by the name "Renzel" back then, used to talk all the time before drifting away in college. I'd love to try and get in touch with them again.

This weekend I'm streaming to raise money for All Bark and No Bite, a nonprofit that rounds up stray dogs, removes their teeth, and installs a powerful long-range acoustic device in their throats before releasing them back onto the streets

I try to mostly follow people on LinkedIn who are unafraid to shitpost on main

I removed all the chairs from my house. Yes, all of them.

Standing desks are for beginners. I don't sit anymore. Not at meals. Not during calls. Not ever.

Why? Because sitting is a dopamine sink. Your glutes go dormant. Blood pools. Your brain gets 23% less oxygen (I measured it). Standing keeps you in a state of "productive discomfort."

Discomfort = alertness. Alertness = pattern recognition. Pattern recognition = product-market fit.

I eat dinner standing over the sink. I take Zooms pacing back and forth like a caged lion. My calves are basically a pre-seed round for my cardiovascular system.

Studies show that 89% of Fortune 500 CEOs do their best thinking while in motion. Churchill held walking meetings. Zuckerberg did walking 1-on-1s. I haven't sat in 6 months and my sprint velocity is up 340%.

Every chair you own is a commitment to mediocrity. Every cushion is a compromise with your future self.

"But what about rest?" Rest is what you do after the exit. Right now, I have deals to close and a burn rate to justify.

My living room? Empty. Just space to pace. My dining room? A war room with whiteboards on every wall—no table.

Sitting is the new smoking. Standing is the new sitting. Pacing is the new standing.

I'm not uncomfortable. I'm optimized.

Don't let Big Furniture gaslight you.

text from google's ai overview, which suggests a joke line from a Smothers Brothers sketch is part of the actual song the sketch is parodying:

The phrase "If you had an outfit, you would be a cowboy too" is a line from the traditional folk song, "The Streets of Laredo" (also known as "The Cowboy's Lament"). The song describes how a dying cowboy's outfit indicates his profession, implying that anyone dressed similarly would share the same identity.

Context of the phrase:

The Song: The song "The Streets of Laredo" is about a cowboy's final moments and regrets.

The Line: The line "I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy" is a repeated observation within the song, establishing that visual cues (the "outfit") are used to identify a cowboy.

"if you had an outfit you would be a cowboy too" is an all-timer

(trying to think how plausible it is that Hella has like three movies she loves that don't seem relevant to her interests at all, and she just wants to force everyone to watch them given the opportunity regardless of whether or not she thinks they'd enjoy them)

how many movies each time? what are the responsibilities regarding food? i guess i just never thought very deeply about what "movie night" actually is, since in my friend groups it was usually impromptu, or i'd only do it with one or two people, and that wasn't "movie night" to me

darnn.bsky.social @darnn.bsky.social · 2d

i'm way behind, so forgive me if this is elaborated upon in whatever you're referencing, but what are the responsibilities of actually running movie night? do you have to find a place? coordinate a time that's good for everyone? are we talking about one movie night, or doing it consistently?
