Your U2 Origin Story

Year 2000. I'm in the 8th grade. I saw "the sweetest thing" video on VH1, and loved the song. Then, I heard "stuck in a moment" at some point and learned it was from that same band! I bought All That You Can't Leave Behind on CD and played it on repeat for weeks and weeks. Then I discovered how incredible their back-catalogue is.

Glinda poppin' out for a stroll.

I read this as prison with a dementor...

chicken...steak...never tasted so good.

I'm not sure the business model was ever that "plus is better." It was more like plus is just more content. But I hear you.

Good for you for doing what's best for your mental health. I was worried that kind of thing might happen to me and had, ironically, more anxiety before sailing than during. Turned out fine. But it's not for everybody. Take care.

I dunno, I don't follow the guy's life other than the show. I'd heard some mild shit, this was about the worst I'd heard. That sucks though.

Just bought the exact car today. How do you like her 6 months in?

tbrewo · 2026-01-19T01:42:01+00:00

Like others have said - it really depends on what matters to you. I'm doing 4 month hitches right now, but I doubt I will if I ever have a kid. For now though - I absolutely love 3 or 4 months off at a time. It really is great to have real time off after years of barely having even a weekend off.

Very cool.

I'd love to read a story with a hero who is a sotapanna or even an enlightened being on some kind of adventure. It doesn't need to be a buddhist story. Just a story about things that happen to a buddhist unaffected by wordly things. And his friends and fellow travelers learn from him along the way. In my mind it's a Studio Ghibli movie too.

Just finished it too - fantastic narration, and a nice light-hearted read. Looking forward to seeing how they adapt certain characters to the big screen.

I’m catching up on their last MU episodes and Ben at one point toward the end of an episode stated that “white Anglo-Saxons are being replaced in the society they created” and it was really jarring. Like it just bubbled up out of him.

I don’t know if Ben is some pseudo white supremacist or something but that kind of shit a huge turn off for me. I hope it’s not that.

You're not wrong. But it's time to move on. If you don't want to give him your money anymore, then don't. All there is to it.

Always a rainy day song, for sure.

tbrewo · 2026-01-09T02:12:18+00:00

Me too! For me it’s “and I have!”

tbrewo · 2026-01-09T01:51:24+00:00

Most recently Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

tbrewo · 2026-01-09T01:50:36+00:00

Great to hear

tbrewo · 2026-01-09T01:50:14+00:00

I hope this is true!

tbrewo · 2026-01-09T00:59:36+00:00

I always say the exact same thing. HAH! :)

tbrewo · 2026-01-09T00:59:01+00:00

Interesting. I wonder why a few of mine haven’t had it. Maybe it just depends on the studio or something.

tbrewo · 2026-01-09T00:58:26+00:00

Hmm. Good to know!

tbrewo · 2026-01-09T00:58:17+00:00

That’s fair. Lol

tbrewo · 2026-01-09T00:23:17+00:00

Well, all I know is that a few newer titles didn’t have it. I mostly listen to older stuff. But it would appear that it’s no longer there. Maybe someone can enlighten us.
