Nah, I’d go for books and music.

Unfortunately, I really only taught myself how to count, the days of the week, and the months of the year.

Replying opened the spoiler for me, but:

1. English (native)
2. Spanish (school)
3. Esperanto (self-taught)
4. Latin (university)

I can also count to five in German, and I used to know 1-10 in Swahili, but now only remember that “moja means one”

She was great in Night Detective, glad to see she got her own show.

I also don’t own a car and commute every day. I hear people talk about how Chicago has a low cost-of-living and I guess this is what they mean.

texts that say “when will you be home?”

It’s not, though. Shirts have sleeves. Shirts cover the chest, armpits, and shoulders. Tanks are at best athleticwear and at worst underwear.

They don’t expire, but they do get stolen. Especially if you’re using it to commute.

nah, that’s only ~2hrs each way

A-men

I don’t have a garage either, but I want to get a shed so I can stop spending $200/yr in repairs.

I can easily believe a commuter ebike hits a grand.

I just never assume anything with a motor when I encounter the word “bicycle”.

Yes, but usually my time or material goods rather than money.

I refuse to believe hobbyists are spending $10K on bikes, or commuters are spending $1K.

I can barely accept that the going rate for used bikes is over $200.

yes, but: why would I want to?

Astral Aves was both hilarious and mystefying, with a real depth that made it stand out. It’s on indefinite hiatus, unfortunately.

Human memes for human themes!

Preferably text memes rather than image memes, as well.

When I was young, I went to every single show that came through my hometown.

Moving to Chicago for college, I went as often as there were bands I recognized , about three times a month.

Once I became a parent that shot downhill fast, to something like once every two months. I began to work nights and could almost never go. I’m back to a first shift schedule now and excited to start hitting the scene again, even if I’m too fat for the moshpit these days.

bruh it’s South Carolina

Frankly, I wish mine were better. I had no idea this was happening, so thanks for bringing it to my attention.
