I've always been a maintenance and monitoring activist, meaning that I regularly quit coffee and alcohol for months at a time, and if anything goes wrong I look at options
It makes being an addict very manageable, but also very strange

I wish I had a cellphone where I could use the GPS without signing a devil's bargain with an evil Megacorporation

I use it for maps, but it's just like, Google collects GPS tracks if you leave it on, and I really want cool GPS features like AR games or location based alarms, it would be awesome
good question, i think so, starting to try in July maybe? we've definitely talked about it a bit.

Retweet this if you think that this man should stop spending public money on fancy lawyers to fight Indigenous children and residential "school" survivors in court.
We see you, @JustinTrudeau.

This could have been fixed a long time ago, and is also likelg the fault of my phones being used by me, not the software
But I always use the different apps each time I start a new phone, and this time was good

As someone said, two kids is ten times harder than one; while three kids is only slightly harder than two.

Good thread, but it always worries me when the best is too yet to come, make sure to allow the best to come

A good chat with @DevP this morning about character backstories brings up what I feel should be the guiding principle for any character backstory:
The best should be yet to come.
Spotify's Algorithm is at the point that I actually don't recognize half the songs on my "on repeat" playlist

@HippyWizard @FireflyLeigh I’ve joked that a person’s Spotify listen history says less about their music taste and more about their ability to resist Spotify’s algorithm
Switching from holding a 2 year old to a one day old and back makes the 2 year old seem much bigger

@BobJonkman I had two children
One was 1 day old
One was 2 years old
And I was carrying them both a lot - and holy shit did they seem different in weight!
I no longer have a one day old child though

Thanks, I appreciate it, but you really didn't have to justify yourself, I'm the one with the unhealthy obsession for LEGO-brand bricks. 😅

@silverwizard Well two of my kids have not contacted me in 12 years, one of them is still living at home at 31, only one has really applied himself AND stays in contact. They might be doing their own thing but could be a bit more communicative.
The Monty Hall problems makes me real mad - I understand the math, but damn does it annoy me that it works in the real world
