The Random Thoughts Thread • Page 86

Sometimes I like to go on Google Earth and look at the street view of random dying rural midwestern and southern small towns. It's something about the mix of decay and charm that speaks to me, and I like to wonder what it would be like to live in a town like that.

 

My dad and uncles have always been really into nascar, so I started paying attention to it this year. I’m hooked and I love it… I feel you on the sentiments.

Side note: my dad and uncles are super liberal union guys.. not all nascar fans are magas!

 

nascar rules.

 

My dad lately has been getting into Australian Rules Football randomly.

 

My wife and I got hooked on Sumo at the beginning of the year, watched 3 entire Bashos (tournaments) on youtube so far and its been a ton of fun

 

lizards are underrated

 

The year is over. It’s already summer. Once football season starts, it’s a wrap

 

shishkabobs are a brilliant creation that can be admired as much for their beauty as their taste

 

This year’s gone by so quick. It’s crazy.

I still think it’s 2024

 

I've taken almost 3,000 steps today. a month ago that would've felt impossible. proud of myself for all the work I've put in to get where I am. if you know you know

 

why did people only start to be allowed to wear t-shirts in the 70s

why were they banned before that? or relegated to undergarments; underlayers? I know undershirts went out of fashion from Clark Gable's one-layer turn in it happened one night, and they do start wearing t-shirts in mad men towards the end. what year was the t-shirt officially considered acceptable outerwear? why?

 

ahh I see Marlon Brando was involved

 

it's wild how global fashion can change so drastically in just two decades. in response to what? production methods? media expansion? an overall loosening of societal restraints?

 

I asked ChatGPT and yes, all of those things haha.

 

The house I grew up in for most of middle school and high school is currently for sale and in my price range.

I loved that house and have so many great memories from there, I always said I would try and buy it if it ever was for sale because I loved the layout / architecture and size and now it is for sale and I don’t know if I should pursue it or not. It’s not in a great place logistically and it’s a corner lot so I remember how shitty and time consuming it was to shovel and cut the grass and idk part of me feels like moving back into a childhood house would be redundant and just because I liked it back then doesn’t mean it would be a smart purchase. I just never thought I’d actually see that it was for sale of the thousands of properties in the city. Legit shocked when I saw it while scrolling through listings.

 

the Panthers are up 3 to 1

nice

 

been listening to a lot more jazz lately

very relaxing

 

I have been listening to a lot of Julien Baker the last few days and I've decided we must protect her at all costs. Protect her from what I don't know. Maybe she doesn't need my protection but if for some reason she needs people to like armor up for her I will!!

Is there some sort of mechanism where I can listen to an audiobook in the car and then when I'm done driving Libby or whatever app can switch me to book mode and know where I left off, and vice versa? Cause I need that.

 

It’s still very weird to me that San Pedro is technically a neighborhood of Los Angeles rather than its own city. San Pedro is usually referred to as “San Pedro, CA” and is about 24 miles from DTLA.

Idk man things are weird

 

site is in shambles

can barely use it lately

 

I though it was just me, everything is loading at a snails pace on here this morning

 

maybe Jason forgot to pay the bill

 

Yeah the last few weeks I’ve had issues where the site takes forever to load and then just crashes out. I thought it was my phone or something
