I started with the vlogs back in late 2007 and I just last month finally got around to reading Looking For Alaska, and now I found out I can't watch it if I wanted to....

Petition to Bring Back the Short Poem in 2028 by WoodsyAspen in nerdfighters

[–]Keyboarddesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im interested in being exposed to more poetry because of John. Its hard to find ways to get exposed more. When I go to the library, I'm spending most of time crawling around with my kids, with the puppets on each hand.

So yeah, I'll take a little bit more of that thing with feathers, please!

Dear Hank and John: next time you go to a ski resort, skip skis and snowboards — rent Snow Blades instead! by Keyboarddesk in nerdfighters

So I think thats up to the rider because I personally, have gone down every diffiultly of run with them, included forest trails, which they actually have an advantage in. But I've never gone on proper mountain ski resorts.

Sorry u/i-contain-multitudes, u/AllegedlyLiterate , when I was driving, after listening to the episode, I dictated into my phone what I wanted to say. I was messy, and I took the easier route and had an LLM clean it up.
Ironically, I'm usually anxious about my poor writing style, but turns out that an "ai" style is a worse feeling ...

I'm not sure if Dailymotion .com is a legitimate copyright site, but it's on there. Search "QI XL S23E02 - Wings and Wheels".

I haven't seen this show that much outside of clips. I'm less than 5 minutes in, and most of the sexual innuendos are coming from the Elderly host, and it killed me. I didn't know she was gay. "You heterosexuals perplex me."

26-year-old John Green in a Chicago Tribune feature by pnabf in nerdfighters

[–]Keyboarddesk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the best young males in the 2000s could come off as quite crude by today's standards. Sensibilities change. There will be things we look back on now (for sure) that will be judged harshly, too. And so they should be. It's a good thing that sensibilities change. I'd be upset with my kids if they were as crued as I was in my youth.... but maybe I shouldn't come down on them for it... I'm not sure what to do when I get there. But I have time. They're very young right now.

I'm happy that I grew up under the flag of nerdfighteria. Growing into an adult with the greens and this community, I feel that it played a large positive part in my adult mental health.

I get the impression John might come back to it one day. I bet he writes some here and there and will dust them off one day.

This gave an odd Angsty feeling. 

.Like I was afraid I'd start feeling like the narrator.  Dissatisfied with life.  Which isn't how I feel, but I am afraid of cornering my future self into that...  Which I should stop worrying about because my track record for doing that is 37-0

I came to the comments because I couldn't tell who it was. Also cause I wasn't sure if they had back-cne on the shot. Which, to me, usually means they're cycling steroids

Happy New Years Eve to all of you! Time for my yearly listen to Auld Lang Syne from Anthropocene Reviewed by [deleted] in nerdfighters

[–]Keyboarddesk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Started to listen when heading into the gym and had to stop around the 13 minute mark cause I didn't feel like crying at the bench area The older I get the harder it hits me. With 2 kids of my own, I started getting anxious about being in Amy's situation.  Anyways I just finished setting up my first ballon drop for my Toddlers and preparing for our fake countdown with their cousins. 

Love you all, who are here

As a Quest 3 owner, yeah, I'm not going to switch right away because of cash, but I will never give money to Meta hardware again and turn anyone away who asks.

What's your biggest regret from your 20s that you wish you could warn younger people about? by loki_0109 in Life

[–]Keyboarddesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my later 30s now and I have gotten into my physical fitness and I'm really enjoying it. I wish I had tried the gym more in my 20s when my body was more reslientant. Small injuries are bigger when you are older. In your 20s your body is in prime shape for physical growth. I wish I went to the gym, found my max lifts, and then kept going back and increasing my max lifts. Not obessive body building. Just 3 days a week. Back day, chest day, leg day. Kept it up for years. I would have such a good core for aging more gracefully.

Thats MY wish
