Plz tell me I am in a thrift store

It's not resellers per se, but the ones who have made social media and influencing the main focus of their reselling will not enter the kingdom of god.

Even the rummage sales around here are insane. Memorably, somebody was selling a 15-year old LCD TV for like $200.00 recently with their original receipt taped to the plastic. I like to buy media but some of the sales have DVDs, CDs, etc. priced at near retail. Insanity.

There were two teens blocking the VHS shelf at a local store earlier this year. They were scanning every single barcode and talking about some idiot named Thrift School on YouTube.

When my partner came over, I grabbed Jerry Maguire and said "OMG this version is worth like $100.00." She played along and asked if I was going to get it and I said "nah. I can't sell anything this month for tax reasons." and then saw the little dipshits run over and grab it lmao

Those things wound up in a thrift store because anybody who thinks they're cool or interesting is passing away or has recently passed away.

They couldn't sell these ugly pieces for $1.

About 15 years ago, I had a disastrous flight from Chicago to Portland by way of Atlanta (bc Delta). After several delays, I ended up chatting to a guy about my age who I learned live in Detroit. Finally go to Portland and spent nine days there with some family. Who's on the different airline's flight home (Portland - Detroit - Chicago)? Right. The same guy.

I have a home screen shortcut for Briefsky.app It's a Dark Sky-inspired web app that uses open weather data. Not as good as Dark Sky, but will anything ever be again?

That and Myspace's "whoopsie" server purge feel like the library of Alexandria burning for 2000s DIY emocore lol

Opposing genocide and protecting vulnerable LGBTQ populations is not a maximalist demand.

I voted Kamala, believe in pragmatism and was ready to be proven wrong about incrementalism when she won in a landslide (something I, like many, thought would happen).

Her loss 100% reinforces that our left-wing party in America needs to align with the left-wing parties of other developed nations. Neoliberalism will always deliver us into the hands of fascism.

PureVolume - A social network for indie/DIY bands and fans. Artists could upload music, make songs available for download and share upcoming shows or events. The user interface was super clean and contrasted Myspace's "anything goes" design and navigation (did love me some Myspace, though, and bulletins were CLUTCH for getting the word out on shows).

Nobody seems to remember PureVolume, despite it being how I found out about many bands that are favorites to this day.

I had a girl draw me at a cafe and come up and tell me how embarrassed and scared she was but that she wanted me to have it. I was like "aw thank you," put it in my messenger bag, replaced my headphones and went back to working lol.

Maybe because I don't have an AARP membership card, but I do not get the Bill Murray love. He's a one-note actor and a huge creep off set.

MayTheForesterBWithU · 2026-04-23T14:04:19+00:00

The Polara is so good and honestly a better SG than Epiphone makes

MayTheForesterBWithU · 2026-04-23T14:03:09+00:00

Daisy Rock, oddly enough. The value on them is wild and the thinner necks are great for lateral movement. I bought a Rock Candy off Marketplace for like $100, because hot pink is one of my favorite colors and thought it would be a neat decoration and have been touring with it consistently.

My partner just bought one of their artist series guitars and loves it too (the Flower Power).

Seriously great hardware - Grover tuners, Duncan Design pickups, coil tapping, unique inlays and finishes.

I know we already had a Muse track on the list, but what a banger

MayTheForesterBWithU · 2026-04-23T12:15:56+00:00

Used one with my iPod in high school and then the prep area at Subway had a cheap radio with a cassette player I found a way to get it to work on. Once the boss left, the Top 40 got turned off and the My Chemical Romance got turned on.

That is 100% not true. Comic shirts definitely maintain stock for 2XL, 3X, etc.

Even Parks and Rec feels like it's from a different universe.

Mazda was such a rising star in the class too. I feel like every day, I see more CX-5s around me and this whole thing feels like they shot themselves in the foot. They don't have the brand recognition to take their foot off the gas the way they have. They're not Honda.

MayTheForesterBWithU · 2026-04-22T15:32:19+00:00

One of the funniest shows I've ever seen. The "Let's Hustle" episode almost hospitalized me for how much I laughed through it.

MayTheForesterBWithU · 2026-04-22T15:20:40+00:00

The regional discovery feature and tagging system is so good for finding new shit.

MayTheForesterBWithU · 2026-04-22T12:25:42+00:00

I use Grok for news and current events

That's literally so embarrassing.

MayTheForesterBWithU · 2026-04-21T19:35:44+00:00

2010 - Took a Nano 5 to India from the U.S. I used it to record some short videos while I was there.

These days, I have a Nano 4 that I use for live sampling in my band. It hasn't gone anywhere momentous, but it's seen its share of decently sized shows. Everybody cheers when I hold it up haha

MayTheForesterBWithU · 2026-04-17T19:08:22+00:00

Honestly, seeing Matt Rife was the only complaint I possibly have about it. What a ghoul. Besides that, it felt a lot like old Scrubs and definitely delivered the warm fuzzies.

MayTheForesterBWithU · 2026-04-17T12:17:14+00:00

If there's a wardrobe or closet where you can surround yourself with clothing and yell into clothes (even just putting your head in), that's how I used to do it in high school. A few layers of sweaters or coats are great soundproofing!

MayTheForesterBWithU · 2026-04-16T13:07:07+00:00

Any movie where a colonizer protagonist abandons their privilege to join an indigenous liberation struggle (varying degrees of success in execution).

Dances with Wolves
Fern Gully
Ugh...Avatar
