BREAKING NEWS: Congress amends stipulations of proposed TikTok ban. TikTok may remain in US app stores if they change their algorithms to make it so we don’t have to scroll past four to six ads, sponsored/commissioned posts, or live videos for every one normal post.
i opened a GitHub issue on Brogue (a modern version of the game Rogue) and it’s the only good issue i’ve ever opened
![A GitHub issue titled "[Opinion] Eels shouldn't be able to open doors". The body reads "Eels don't have a form factor that supports opening doors when you really think about it. Unless the doors are opening on their own (magically…?) shouldn't eels get trapped behind doors?"
7 hours later, a repository collaborator named zenzombie leaves a comment: "Brogue doors are designed for inclusive monster accessibility, without regard to form factor."
Then, 13 hours after that, I leave a final comment before closing the issue: "Fair enough! Hard to be mad about the little eel holes at the bottom of all the doors when they're in the name of accessibility."](https://cdn.davidcel.is/blog/1786061925873910272.webp)

ME [IN CHAPTER 4 OF FF7 REBIRTH]: dunno why people are complaining about the minigames, they don’t seem too bad?

i wish RPGs wouldn’t do that thing where they temporarily remove some team members and force a specific party makeup. i don’t want to play as Aerith. i don’t know how
you’ve tried Buying Dumb Domain Names… but have you ever tried Having Your Employer Buy Dumb Domain Names For You???

i had my 35th birthday while i was in Japan, and there’s only one thing i want from you all:

TOURIST: Spirited Away?
NATIVE: … ehhhhh… baseball???
the amount of coughing on my 7h30m flight was unreal. nearly constant dry coughing from multiple people and children. most people still not wearing masks. it’s just incredible that people accept this

got suckered into buying some sakura green tea in the shopping mall just outside of Haneda because a nice lady stopped me with a sample cup and it was delicious 🌸🍵🌸
i just think it’s really cool how Hawaiian Airlines doesn’t let you check into flights that depart from abroad in their app or on the web and force you to do it in the lovely, not-at-all-stressful environment of the airport 🙂↔️
decided to walk the river again and see how the blossoms are progressing but it started to rain lightly. checked my phone, “light rain for 30 minutes”. okay, i’ll just shower before. i get out of the shower, and now it’s pouring. checked my phone, “thunderstorm warning, rain for the next 2 hours” 🙃
