"in reality"

buru5, 21 hours ago to random

i don't remember much before being 7-years old but i do remember inviting a friend over for a sleepover and this friend, at the breakfast table with my family, cracked open a can of pepsi and poured it into his bowl of cheerios. my father didn't say anything at the time but after my friend left he said my friend was never allowed to come over again; i knew it had to be the pepsi-cheerios because my friend was otherwise well behaved. this had a profound impact on me.

I have it on good authority that #Nintendo "Switch 2" (named the "Swipe") is a card-based console with a card reader built into the unit. The cards, once swiped, unlock access to: full games, wallpapers, avatars, DLC, and even apps like Hulu, YouTube, and Netflix. The Swipe will be released by the end of Q2 2025, alongside over 200 cards purchased separately in booster packs.

One of the neat things about this is that, if you still have old e-Reader cards, you can swipe them for fun extras.

Do you ever get the feeling that you're the main character in a video game called Shadow Madness?

two weeks ago i was approached by high-tech security system salesmen who i denied outright. they were legitimate but overpriced and devil-tongued and i don't need 8 cameras around my house connected to some shady company's cloud. flash forward to today's walk and i've counted their signs in over 12 yards. it's a cancer or a zombie apocalypse spread under the pretense of safety when really it's stoked by quota-driven salesmen fanning the flames of yes-yes-fear-your-fellow-neighbors.

The Beatles never released Rubber Soul, which caused a nuclear holocaust.

growing up, i was always attracted to a certain madness, and it was attracted to me. yet, i would characterize myself as "tame" compared to some of the people i associated with.

Julian Cope has always been an off-putting but interesting character. he seems like a genuine yet borderline-psychopathic person who channels a violent madness into all his work; writing, music, or otherwise. this attracts me, but none of his #music has really clicked with me yet.

When I was a kid, I used to love eating pizza hot pockets with a side of cottage cheese. To me, that was a good meal, the two things went well together.
I would love to have a hot pocket again, but they are owned by Nestlé and I fucking hate Nestlé.

Does anyone know of any good off brand hot pockets besides from Schwans?

I recently learned that the word finicky only has one "n". Pretty cool that the language I speak is a glorified minefield designed to make me look foolish when I inevitably take an errant step

i got wound up in a conversation with door-to-door home-security salesmen, and i told them immediately i was not interested and they just kept going and going and going and going and i felt like i couldn't escape the conversation despite being totally indifferent. i need to work on being more comfortable with confrontation and assertive but also these people should be able to recognize when they're wasting their time.
