That Exxon sign is ridiculously tall.
If memory serves, this is Breezewood, PA; about the middle of the state of Pennsylvania, along the PA turnpike. It's an easy on/off between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia that doesn't sell you convenience food at turnpike rest stop captive prices.
Anyway, central to west PA is Appalachian mountains, and this part of Breezewood is at the bottom of a valley. The sign is tall so you can see it east and westbound from the turnpike.
I don't know why I shared this information.
I'm glad you did. From my perspective, this could have been any exit off I-25 from Denver to Albuquerque.
Glad to know we're all in the same boat.
Also, we should fix the boat.

Listened to this again the other day after not hearing it for a while and it still hits so hard for me.
So people driving cross-state on the freeway can see it and suddenly realize they have to pee.

I use counter spell of smoking a bong.
Bong
Normally you smoke the weed.
Yeah if you only want to get high, the true magic comes from smoking the bong.
Damn, I still have so much to learn.
Try having an upside bong, that's great for unlocking your weed wizard knowledge.

I kinda needed this
thanks
FUCK. my alarms went off 30 minutes ago I need to get out of bed do shit.
I have my phone charging pad in my living room. If I needed an alarm I would use my old clock, but these days I wake up at first light, because I have two furry 75 pound alarm clocks that won't let me sleep. Previous to fostering them, I would wake up and get up immediately, because I don't have any entertainment in my bedroom. It makes falling asleep and waking up much easier for me.
Bah, I waste my time on my computers.

I’m taking a shit. It’s either memes or existential dread, so I’m doing this.
Be careful, don't sit too long!
Idk...I just learned that USA doesn't have civil rights anymore...so it wasn't a complete waste.
Piefed tells you how much time you've spent on it at the bottom of the page and I genuinely appreciate it. (Also a great example of something that a profit-driven social media site would never do.)
the bottom of the page
...there's a bottom?
scrolls endlessly
For some classic internetting, a new Homestar Runner video came out this week that mentions this: https://homestarrunner.com/toons/backtoawebsite. It made me go, "Oh yeah, there did used to be an end of the page!"
Joke's on you, I'm on a PC, not a phone.

And you? ;)
Nothing changed.
I already know. I do it deliberately
I deflect with a spell "i just open the app"
Damn it, I failed my save. Full damage, I guess.
I'm dual wielding, poop and phone. I cannot be stopped.
Jokes on you, I normally go on here when I'm eating
