My older neighbor got a call from a guy who called her “mom” and said he’d been in a car accident, and there was a problem with his insurance, so he was in real trouble if he couldn’t pay cash for the damage, the other guy was gonna call the cops, and he needed $2,000 to give to the other guy for the damage.

She said “Tim?” and the guy said "yeah mom its Tim and kept repeating he was gonna go to jail for not having insurance cause it lapsed just this week and he needed to run to the store and he was in an accident.

She withdrew 2k from the bank and some guy came and said he was Tim’s friend and he needed to go right then the cops were gonna arrest Tim.

Apparently, he snatched the money out of her hand and ran to his car and left. She felt very foolish.

No don’t misunderstand, if BB made a new phone I’d preorder. I just think this post couldn’t be more full of shit

yeah, me neither…

there is no way this is legit, guys.

if you’re jonsing for the physical keyboard, I don’t hate the titan slim. Its no key2, but it types. you can install blackberry keyboard on it, also.

if you want a better, more private OS, I hear GraphineOS is quite good, and you can install it on a Pixel, then use the Clicks Keyboard case with it. https://www.clicks.tech/en/products/clicks-for-google-pixel

This post is silly.

hey thanks, i dont like discord ill check out matrix

i was just teasing

could you update the image to reflect your changes in perspective or is this one of those immutable webp’s

yeah i know it dawned on me quite quickly where it sounded like that was heading…

these “white magic” paperback books from Borders would have you anoint candles with oil to like, I dont fuckin know, endow them with your intention (Id wish the girl in algebra would notice me, so the book’d tell you to think about her while putting oil on a pink candle so when you burn it your “spell” would go into the air or some crap)

that particular book there though was page after page like that where it said shit like “for protection from your enemies wrap some wire around leaf and put it under your doormat”

i had this book when I was an edgy teenager in my middle class bedroom rubbing olive oil on taper candles from the grocery store and… wait this is sounding like something different entirely

thats right. letters are just arbitrary little squiggles, and if you look at any of them too long they lose the heuristic you associate with them and the fact that theyre just little squiggles becomes visible.

I dont think one word or another is more or less likely to cause this effect.

you use your fingernails to pry it open while pushing the dick part out

no listen, the fediverse is good! you should try the fediverse!!

I’ve never seen any yungling here. there are some people who order “black and tan” at a bar (stout and ale mixed) and Ive seen a guy from west belfast get pretty pissed off that they said the term at

buddy

hang in there girl

this is really a big part of it. folks who have “pre-monday” dread are dreading something and I feel like we all owe it to ourselves to find a way to work that we don’t dread.

Ikigai, the Japanese philosophy, sums up a good way to try to think about this.

OP if you’re reading this, I feel you, I’ve been thinking about beginnings/endings/time remaining since I was a little kid and its a fuckin curse, frankly.

As a few people have mentioned, mindfullness is a good thing to learn a bit about and to try to “do” basically every day if you can remember.

You dont need to sit listening to a person who’s doing the “spiritually tuned in reassuring relaxing voice” that mindfulness people make the mistake of doing.

If you stop, put your feet firmly on the ground and feel the floor under your feet (rock your weight up to your toes and back to your heels and really feel the solid quality of the ground for just a sec) thats called ‘grounding’ typically, then take one slow (5 secs or so in and another 5 out) diaphagramatic breath (breathe down and into your belly, not the chest, your belly button should go out instead of your breastbone) and thats it. you’ll now remember whatever youre looking at the next day instead of just going through the motions of your weekend free time.

things end and death is coming for all of us, but not now, and thats worth checking in to

i like him
