Very proud of my beautiful wife Amy Adams and all of the movies she's done. He's really one of the Stars of Hollywood.

"Stand by Me" is on TV in the background and man, the 1950s suuuuucked.

I had a low-grade fever and an awful headache (which I learned later was a mild case of COVID) on a many times-delayed flight from Detroit to Baltimore on a Wednesday evening. I was in the Detroit airport for 9 hours.

I had one as a press car a few months ago. I used it to move and I liked it quite a bit. It's also a rocket.

I make plenty of money to rent a few different apartments nearby, but I don’t have any actual proof of that income because I’m entirely freelance. But all of that is moot anyway, because of my awful credit score.
Alex Hevesy (@venomlance.bsky.social)
Well, back to SadPosting. The apartment I had line up fell through. I don't have good enough proof of income or good enough credit to rent anywhere and I don't know anyone in my family who is financially stable enough to be a cosigner. Additionally, I do not know anyone who has a room/apt to rent. 👍

I’m not too big of a football fan, but I’m glad there’s something going on that everyone can talk about and joke about that isn’t so insanely deathly serious.

But I'm glad it did, and I don't feel any shame about that whatsoever. I don't have a real point to this thread other than to say that there is no shame in feeling sick over violence as it pervades social media. It means you're still a human capable of feeling something. Anyway, Chevy Lumina

I feel, genuinely, that it has eroded our humanity, and if you don't feel disgusted seeing someone die on a random internet clip, you might have to log off for a bit and examine some things. I'm don't know why the Charlie Kirk thing grossed me out so much given how many people I've seen die online.
Alex Hevesy (@venomlance.bsky.social) reply parent
I think that's a good thing for what it's worth. We, as humans, should be shocked by violence and the depersonalized footage we see online every single day of Gaza, Ukraine, mass shootings, and deaths of podcasters should make us feel sick. Easily accessible death on demand has done untold damage.
Alex Hevesy (@venomlance.bsky.social)
SERIOUS POST: Ever since I started my mental health journey in earnest about a year ago, my tolerance for seeing violence has basically vanished. I have no stomach for it anymore to the point where I can't play Grand Theft Auto or watch a Quentin Tarantino movie without getting queasy.

I saw what was supposedly a picture of the rifle and it looked like a run of the mill Mauser action in a generic sporterized chassis. Like you said, extremely common and probably cost $400. Every old man non-tacticool gun store in the country has 25 of them in stock.
Alex Hevesy (@venomlance.bsky.social) reply parent
Right. It was a .30-06, not a .458 Win Mag. .30-06 is still a mean-ass round, but it's still pretty commonplace.

I know good vegetarian food is out there, I just need to find it.
Alex Hevesy (@venomlance.bsky.social) reply parent
I think that might be the case. Gotta get more creative, I guess.
Alex Hevesy (@venomlance.bsky.social) reply parent
I think it's maybe a problem with food that's marketed as vegetarian as opposed to food that just happens to not have any meat in it.
Alex Hevesy (@venomlance.bsky.social)
My friend and his family I've been living with eat mostly vegetarian. I have absolutely no philosophical qualms with that & I totally sympathize with people who don't eat meat for dietary or ethical reasons. But why does vegetarian food mostly suck? It's a lot of flavorless food that isn't filling.

I've been shooting subsonics out of my Henry Golden Boy and it might be the most fun I've had shooting in a while. The Golden Boy's barrel is long and heavy enough that it makes basically no noise. It might be the best plinking rifle ever.
