in Everquest there is a low level dungeon called the Estate of Unrest, abbreviated "UR"
and there is a camp in Unrest's basement often abbreviated "BM"
and there has been a guy in general chat for the last three hours going "UR BM NEEDS TANK" every 5-10 minutes and i can only imagine reading that with no context

My parents were like 23 and 26 when I was born and they had two cars and a brick house on undergrad degrees. My dad hadn’t even graduated when I was born, I think he was working part-time as a mechanic.

I assume that the original folks who pioneered that game knew exactly what they were doing when they came up with that shorthand.

Watching Blade Runner (1982) again
Something that always strikes me is how much Holden (the Blade Runner who gets shot by Leon in the opening scene) resembles Harrison Ford. His mannerisms, even the timbre of his voice...one could almost mistake him for Ford.
But not Ford in this movie. More like Han Solo.

Boomers were on easy mode, don't beat yourself up over it.
There is not, nor has there ever been such a thing as a meaningful life. I'm not surprised that the lack of one isn't a big deal.

I just figure we are all doing our best, but in the grand scheme of things we are just random tree in Pangea or a sabertooth tiger 35k years ago trying to live our best lives.
We are internet pioneers and 10k years from now Dril tweets we saw might be the bible, but everything when have seen and touched will probably be forgotten and that's ok.
Oh I actually feel like I live a good meaningful life.
I just am fine with in a century or two I'll be forgotten forever.

I'm fine dying like, whenever, just let me erupt from a portal in somebodies bedroom or study like two centuries from now surrounded by ghostflame and carrying a dire warning.
Mom is super into a lot of nebulous naturopathy woo shit
When i first got sick she kept suggesting various "natural" solutions
And I finally had to tell her if even half that woo shit worked nobody would need dialysis or chemotherapy
my coworker (the one who gives his kids ivermectin daily) told me that I could cure covid with carrots
I ended up buying carrots because they're a healthy snack but I began to suspect as my covid dragged on that the carrots did nothing at all
getting status updates from the war in ukraine from this guy is fun, today the tartar mercenary army entered the fray armed with ancient, advanced weapons against the Ukranians but the Rothschilds are backing Ukraine so they'll win

What does that mean?

It means they are always so perfect for the B characters
Billie was so perfect. So good. There's more.good ones in this series!
Oh OK. That's true.

She can only eat my dead body for so long.
The bar for meaning is so low and to call a life happy so much more fraught and arguable

Livers, hearts, stomach lining?
Ugh that was supposed to be humorous but ended up being way too dark.
Hard for that to be meaninful
People trying to do that is one of the places from where fascism comes from.
