I checked!
The only US President to have ever paid off the US debt
ONE OF THE DANG J NAMES
which is also like, the only good thing he did
Johnson is often cited as one of the worst Presidents in US History
only reason he became President is because Lincoln needed the southern vote and made him VP
Wait... I need a website. Because the one I have has different info
I'm confused, because Johnson was the president after Lincoln
that's correct
But Jackson was before
Why does some websites have wrong info (the one I found)
its history, there's always misinformation everywhere
Kind of answers itself: It's the Internet!
You can find all sorts of wrong and false and distorted things there.
You'd think... With a resource that makes it easy to check... They don't check even more
This is from the US Treasury's official website
basically, look for trustworthy sources when looking for answers on the internet
Yeah, you have to look for the sources that actually check. U.S. Government sites would be among those.
Many academic sites.
Don't care.
exactly
eh
Allegedly, I have an ancestor who was with Andrew Jackson at New Orleans, at the end of the War of 1812.
This.
cool kid comeback
that's an interesting claim Zeno
He was a military doctor. Allegedly.
Old man comeback.
My family history is something else
Ancestors: 900 Years in the Life of a Chinese Family is a book first published in 1988 written by the Hong Kong-based journalist Frank Ching, in which he tells the story of his ancestors in the Qin (秦) family, beginning with the 11th-century Song dynasty poet Qin Guan. He also relates many details about the history of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, th...
This entire book is about my family history
I’m related to the wife of a past president, supposedly
on my dad's side of the family
Do you know which one?
I take such claims with a grain of salt. A geneologist told my grandfather a lot of stories about his forebears. I've never been sure what to make of those stories.
This man is like my 30th Great Grandfather
DAMN
One of my ancestors was apparently a count, I know nothing besides that
My family has had a long relationship with the Emperors of China, mostly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties
Sounds like a fun thing to investigate
calm down your ego
Yeah, but I was told like ten years ago by family and never looked into it myself, so I’d wanna fact check first
which one was it Wormy?
You asked, I answered. Then you tried to insult me. I'd say you're the one with an ego problem, kid.
ok ok, no need to stir trouble here.
Not me
What’s the problem?
who said there was a problem
Apparently an honest answer means I have a big ego, or something.
history
Oh I love family history
One of my ancestors used to be the city god of Shanghai
My family did that 1800s thing where they claim where the husband carried his labouring wife onto the uncolonised continent as soon as they landed and she gave birth to the “first” baby there
still trying to figure out how the hell that happened
damn
erm... which continent
Great PR?
So much interesting info in there
Australia
ah that checks out
Not many people can say they are descended from a god!
I found it, thanks
Apparently the Emperor made him City God of Shanghai, so he was very well liked by the family
what's yalls bench pr
Heck of a promotion, that.
What's an ego. I get called egotistical by some when I laugh at their insults. It's really just that I find them amusing or don't care. @slender quartz
I'm a historian, do I look like the kind of person who bench presses?
Ooh ooh, allegedly, my father's side of the family is related to the guy who made the Star Spangled Banner poem
Francis Scott Key?
You... Press books?
Yep! Allegedly. My grandma was like the granddaughter, or so of a Key
My history teacher works out. He's buff.
Someone let you handle a first-edition KJB? I imagine you were wearing gloves . . .
I was not
it's actually policy not to use gloves for books
Gloves are not kind to old pages
Ah. Never spent much time in archives. Makes sense, though.
They’re kinda replacing gloves with just well washed hands
I used to work at one lol
and yall would not believe the kinds of things I've seen while at work
Wildest thing?
Story time!
We bench press our minds... Much more difficult.
Was it teeth?
I was working on processing our campus photographs collection
Closest I got to anything that old and grand was looking through glass at a first edition folio of Shakespeare, at the witches scene from the beginning of MacBeath. I had chills down my spine.
I bet it was teeth
and I found this, no one had touched it in decades
Oh... A negative
but
That's.. not creepy at all
@lime sand That's not a very positive thing to say
Who was the guy in a White suit?
They look like . . . people in 1962!
Oh the First Astronauts!!!
directly below him is Jim Lovell, the future commander of Apollo 13
Where's Himmler?
That's something I always say in really old photos.
This reminds me of that photo with like every notable physicist in it
That and alot of early astronauts & scientists were from Germany
apparently I had been the first person to really notice those photos in decades
Not the astronauts, but a lot of the rocket scientists.
I thought it was both
thankfully the head of the archive is now aware of them, and they're probably gonna get properly digitized
Astronauts were Americans, I think to a one.
Nice! Wish people would do the same for films, games & music
There is one for games in the works
After a set time they should be available for all
tbh I forget let me check
Like 10 years later you can emulate them
Gym bench pressing builds both muscle and mental discipline.
John Glenn was from Ohio; so was Neil Armstrong. I
Bethesda wants to know your location
Music... Lots have been saved, except very nuanced ones. Like they guy who made Yankee Doodle, and other American folk songs.
Nobody knows
NASA Astronaut Group 2, also known as the Next Nine and the New Nine, was the second group of astronauts selected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Their selection was announced on September 17, 1962. The group augmented the Mercury Seven. President John F. Kennedy had announced Project Apollo, on May 25, 1961, with th...
Well, people do know, but he died poor
Conrad
So the white suited guy is Pete Conrad
Charles "Pete" Conrad Jr. (June 2, 1930 – July 8, 1999) was an American NASA astronaut, aeronautical engineer, naval officer and aviator, and test pilot, and commanded the Apollo 12 space mission, on which he became the third person to walk on the Moon. Conrad was selected for NASA's second astronaut class in 1962.
Conrad had dyslexia and yet ea...
and 3rd Man to walk on the moon
on Apollo 12
What do you suppose the prospects are for the Artemis 2 and Artemis 3 missions?
Man... That last name being "See" was playing mad Abbott and Costello jokes on me
June 2... Well I'll be damned
Also to note in this picture, the guy on the front row second to the left
is Ed White
he died in the Apollo 1 fire
Edward Higgins White II (November 14, 1930 – January 27, 1967) was an American aeronautical engineer, United States Air Force officer, test pilot, and NASA astronaut. He was a member of the crews of Gemini 4 and Apollo 1.
After graduating from West Point in 1952 with a Bachelor of Science degree, White was sent to flight training, and assigned t...
Michael Collins never stepped on the moon?
Only a Bachelor's degree could get you to space???? Whaaaaaa
Also being a test pilot, and . . .
long story short, I found a handful of unpublished unknown photo negatives of these guys while I was sorting through stuff
I mean there’s still the thrill of being a guy in space
I’d imagine it’s very existential
Well, yeah, but to be so close . . . But I guess they knew how to do their duty. The mission wouldn't have worked without someone staying in the command module.
Just standing on a big hill and looking at your city is something
WOAH. what kind of dirt is on the bible?
I always feel a certain . . . reverence when looking at an old book.
Just the book itself, not even necessarily the contents.
From space, it's described as... Miniscule. All of humanity reduced to a blue ball
An engraved page of the Royal Seal of King James I
Still using latin
It's an absolutely stunning book, I've actually seen it a few times
Kings and newbies. LOL
Before then, didn't churches hold an obscene amount of political power?
Churches and royalty benefit eachother and keep eachother in power
one day while at work, I was strolling through the back and I saw a book on the shelf with the date code for 1866
But this is the King's seal; seems he wanted to lay claim to divine right.
and I thought, that's odd
it's bound in vellum? That's really unusual for 1866
decided to investigate
apparently someone had screwed up
Oooooo
That's alot of latin
well, what's 300 years, give or take?
I actually pulled it to have that error be fixed
If they were using a numpad. 8 is right above 5
Maybe it was a fat finger issue?
Even the spine says 1565 on it
Is that Latin, or archaic Italian? I didn't think "delle" was Latin.
looks like it was printed in Venice so its possible
I mean, I don't know Latin directly, only bits and pieces picked up along the way (studying philosphy, with a side interest in history)
Imma go with italian
Yeah, I think so too.
Civil War artillery sword
That's some archive.
If you don’t mind me asking what kind of place do you work at?
WOAH
I used to work for a University Archive
duuuuuuuude, a collector would salivate at that book
Basically, where the University kept the rare books and documents
Nice. Ever come across first-edition Darwin? I've always wanted to see the original Origin of Species, before he edited some of the boldness out of it.
I haven't, but who knows we might have one lol
one of the coolest things I've seen though
there's a box
In here is the collective letters and documents of Colonel Israel Shreve
who served in the American Revolution
Israel Shreve (December 24, 1739 – December 14, 1799) was a colonel in the 2nd New Jersey Regiment during the American Revolution. He fought at the Battle of Brandywine and at the Battle of Germantown and wintered at Valley Forge.
What's with the 1965 on it?
Inside are 4 letters to Shreve from General Washington
That's the year the Archive recieved it
Oh
Dang. Seeing stuff written in Washington's own hand must be something.
One of the best letters in there
Mmm cursive I can't read
even has Washington's personal wax seal on it
I'd like to see some of the fiddle tunes Jefferson transcribed for himself. I've seen images of one, but it would be cool to see them in person.
I figure that's a bit niche, not what most people associate with Jefferson, but he did like to play music.
Like ya'll I've seen so much stuff while there
they let me handle just about everything they have
Nice
Here are some older photos I took
Letters from President Franklin D. Roosevelt
Abraham Lincoln
Andrew Jackson
Alexander Hamilton
Richard Nixon
cool as hell
Even Tricky Dick is in the mix.
The other side of the Lincoln card
a 15th Century medieval book
John Quincy Adams
The meticulous care that went into those illuminations never ceases to amaze.
James Madison
Jeez, I could read doctors better than this
Tripping back and forth through history. I'm getting whiplash over here!

Why does JQA sign his name in sad cursive like my younger brother 😂
Wax seal is still in there
I know, right?
At least you can read it
12yo signature right there
When you don't know cursive, but all your friends do
I'm pretty good at reading 😎
ok here it is
Just... Connect all the letters
Ooooo. I knew it! I can't read any of that
Y'all were deprived, not learning cursive. But that's just an old guy point of view, I guess.
I can sign my name, that's all I need it for
Though Washington's penmanship was better than Lincolns
Cursive’s neat, I’m just impatient 😬
I'm in a bit of a predicament
A piece of felt from the hat of Jefferson Davis, former Confederate President
Russian cursive
and his signature
Hurts my soul
the definitive review of Battle Hymn of the Republic comes from poet/farmer Wendell Berry, who said the melody is very stirring, "but the words are perfectly insane."
There is a big tree lookin beardy guy in the next area and I don't appreciate it
General Robert E. Lee
Man's used 10% of the page just for his name
nah these are just zoomed in lol
Ok, now... How small is it?
Somewhere in that box there was a letter written by Lee to Stonewall Jackson
the day before Jackson was shot at Chancellorsville
Never got the letter?
I don't know
Lee was at Chancellorsville so, it wouldn't have taken that long for the letter to get to Jackson
also
not from the Special Collections
but this was my dorm when I was in college lmfao
yea I went a little overboard
Some vintage stuff, there.
If that TV turns on. It's a mini-boss
I dont talk about my retro game collection here too often tbh
but I think I have something like over 40 consoles and handhelds
My oldest console
which is kinda hard to beat, because its the first
The Magnavox Odyssey is the first commercial home video game console. The hardware was designed by a small team led by Ralph H. Baer at Sanders Associates, while Magnavox completed development and released it in the United States in September 1972 and overseas the following year. The Odyssey consists of a white, black, and brown box that connec...
I have all the accesories, and the rare carrying case
Later version of brown box?
Commercial version of the Brown Box
Ooo
Ralph Baer sold the Brown Box to Magnavox in 1970 I think it was
Magnavox just took the technology, stuck it in a fancy space age looking shell, and put it on shelves in 1972
It's hard to find these days because they only sold something like 200,000 units between 1972 - 1975
It worked, though the game it had was a whopping 24 pixels on screen
And a lot of them got tossed after later consoles came around
Speaking of later consoles
the very first Pong home console
1975
So old
Atari would release one under their own branding the following year
but the first one was released under the Sears Tele-Game brand in Christmas 1975
How did Atari explode in popularity?
My family had a knock-off pong console at some point. Then a friend of mine got the Atari 2600.
No way
Pong in itself was just really popular, since its first release in arcades in 1972
But the Atari 2600 really took Atari to a whole different level
I have every piece of the Atari 2600 heavy sixer
which is the name for the model that came out in 1977
It was a big step up, in the variety of games and gameplay mechanics.
in 1978 they changed just about everything about it
Until . . . E.T. (dun dun DUUUUN)
So the 1977 consoles, controllers, games, and everything else are harder to find
That's what I remember of the Atari 2600
How about Atari's competition?
Atari 2600 was popular until the Video Game Market Crash in 1983
Atari did make games past that
the Atari 7800 for one
which I have
1983... Recession hit then?
I remember both of those, to: Intellivision and ColecoVision.
I actually had an Intellevision plug and play controller
Oh, Commodore. Amazing. I saw someone has bought the branding and is no selling modern PCs in the old Commodore 64 format.
This was how my Uncle met his Late wife
A classic
There it is!
First computer I ever actually used was the Commodore Pet, with 20kB of RAM. We used them to solve calculus problems in high school, programing in Basic.
And they still had calculus?
Mattel's Football
I also have the unsuccessful Mattel Auto-Race (first handheld in history)
Oh, now. Calculus had been around for a few years before I came along.
Yeah, but... Calculus... Why
Notable for being the first game system to feature the D-Pad
Ooooh, this is where Nintendo Ripped off of
I had a ZX Spectrum as a kid, you loaded games from a cassette player lol
Ripped off?
I remember all of these handhelds, too.
no no, the DK Game and Watch was made by Nintendo
That's why this guy is in Smash Bros
They literally just... Remastered the entire handheld?
Game boys.
It's only recently I came across some history of Nintendo. The company goes back for decades before it started producing games and game hardware. I believe they started with playing cards.
My sister had a GameBoy color
The Video Game Wars of the 1990's
I think you're right
That sounds about right.
Getting more recent now
All of these are in your collection?
my Samurai uncle worked at Nintendo 😛
That's what Wikipedia says
Kinda sad you don't have like... Spyro on here
A formative gaming experience for me was on a weird outlier of the time: the TRS-80 Color Computer (or "Trash-80 COCO) as it was sometimes called. It was a cartridge game called "Dungeons of Daggorath" which may have been one of the first 3-D dungeon-crawler games in first-person perspective - with very low res vector graphics, and typed-in commands like the old text adventure games, and yet also sort of in real time.
It was like nothing I'd seen, and it was weirdly intense.

Ok I THINK that's all of it
A port of it may be available on the Microsoft store, if my eyes aren't deceiving me. Must . . . resist . . .
I'm probably missing something but that's all I can think of off the top of my head
Astronomy Pic of the Day: Young Stars, Stellar Jets
Explanation: High-speed outflows of molecular gas from a pair of actively forming young stars shine in infrared light, revealing themselves in this NIRcam image from the James Webb Space Telescope. Cataloged as HH (Herbig-Haro) 46/47, the young stars are lodged within a dark nebula that is largely opaque when viewed in visible light. The pair lie at the center of the prominent reddish diffraction spikes in the NIRcam image. Their energetic stellar jets extend for nearly a light-year, burrowing into the dark interstellar material. A tantalizing object to explore with Webb's infrared capabilities, this young star system is relatively nearby, located only some 1,140 light-years distant in the nautical constellation Vela.
Gods, but I got sick of those things.
It's nearly 1am where I am. I should have been asleep two hours ago. Thanks for the Grand Tour @flat echo !
lmfao, no problem, goodnight!
One random last thought: Laurie Anderson's gloss on one of Walter Benjamin's "Theses on the Philosophy of History":
She said, What is history?
And he said, History is an angel
Being blown
Backwards
Into the future
He said: History is a pile of debris
And the angel wants to go back and fix things
To repair the things that have been broken
But there is a storm blowing from Paradise
And the storm keeps blowing the angel
Backwards
Into the future
And this storm, this storm
Is called
Progress
- Laurie Anderson, "The Dream Before"
(It's from her 1989 album "Strange Angels". Bobby McFerrin sings harmony on this part of the track.)

What does your setups look like?
not like that
@chrome belfry Whats yours like?
A steam deck
@ruby bay Nice I'm considering one of those
ps5 and a tv
Samsung galaxy s22 ultra, very good phone, plus comes with dex
Aka new note lol
That be s21 ultra
Can you hook a USB c to hdmi cable & play on a big screen? All Ultras are now the S23 has been tempting me but realistically for how little I use my phone I'd probably just get a Pixel 7a
Yeah
Or a a steam deck dock too
I'm planning on using that
Honestly the only reason why I want a pc is for a few games most og Which ære grand stratagy or rts & older games.
Been pretty satisfied so far with xbox.
yeah xbox is alright
My gaming setup is PS4 and a TV. My computer setup is a highly abused HP tower, a TV for a monitor, and a desk that looks like a yard sale vomited on it.
huh
I mean if it works it works. 🙂
I don't just multitask online. LOL
My workbench is next to me, and I have a bad habit of test-fitting parts and doing small adjustments while chatting.
The only unusual part of my setup is the sound bar being on the box for a cookware set
Which coincidentally has "table" in the brand name
I clean my desk off about once or twice a year. The digital camera stays, but I box the rest.
I always dust mine off daily with that hand held swoofer thing the dest anyway. I want to get a purifier for when I do.
...There's not enough surface bare to dust on mine.
That was my desk a little over a year ago.
Simpsons meme is perfect. Looks cozy
It's why I took the picture.
Only thing on the desk still here are the screwdriver, carpet cutter, and Sharpie.
The Halo guys had to go. They couldn't stay put.
What's the alien doing?
Alien?
Green guy by the sharpie
Orange. It's a Hot Wheels guy.
gotta pull all ur keycaps off
Hot Wheels designed a bunch of cars that could be used with Hot Wheels minifigures, then only included said figures with one model of car.
Ooo, those are hard to find in good condition.
I have a small collection of OG He-Man figures, but never can find anoyone that wants them.
I never meant to collect them, but I'd buy a box of stuff and find one or two at the bottom, ended up with about thirty.
there’s some brand new stuff
The only things I actively collected as a kid were Star Wars, Hot Wheels, and Transformers.
As a teen through adult, I collected a lot of the original run G.I. Joe figures.
I still pick up Hot Wheels that catch my eye, or certain models.
Nice!
I did coins in my piggy bank & tried to get one quarter for every state... Mom took turn all alcoholics man 😄
I was a horse trader as a kid. I'd trade a decent figure for two messed up ones, fix those up, trade them for two more each, or one plus parts, etc.
Heh. I still do that online.
I went to go grab a cheese bun and my dog stole my spot where I lay down
goofy dog

How you feeling today man? When you get sick?
Couple days ago, symptoms are mostly gone now - sucked up all my energy though. Completely listless
Fuck long covid
Seems like I go near anyone and get a bug
Hope you have some tea
I do indeed
Yeah my immune system is a bit fucked now
And now
People talking about UAPs
So what's really going on
Oh goodie
Must be mad if people are entertaining UAPs
I'm a UAP
That's why I pinged you
Lol
The jig is up
Again
They really fucked us this time though

Uncertain aardvark people
They're a threat to Nashville security
It's all Arthur's fault
He really should have listened 😔

At least the news will be easy to swallow

That could be paedo behaviour

I wanna read my book but it's a tossup between "things actually happen" and "three straight chapters about the main character's poor mental health" and I really like this book when things happen, but it's boring when it's drawn out stuff about the main character
dont mind me forgetting how words work
same
I love that it's showing how her mind works and all that. But it's also a little too much sometimes lmao. I want the drama and the rivalry and such to take up more of the book than her internal struggle, y'know?
Am also very slepy

@night bobcat why is Gunter reacting with level up to music?

And links have more than enough characters to count as a post
Jk
Lol
You know I'm always going to be skeptical about Orgalorg
Ok, Gunter can also see super reacts now - so those can be used in #the-louvre and #no-mans-art to get posts featured

My friend is seeing sleep token at some festival today in the land of "actual daytime" so maybe I'll dream I'm there with her 
Yaaaaay
I think I’m just perpetually half-asleep regardless of how much sleep I get 
You deserve a Sleep Token coma
@opaque tartan 3 day old dominos, been in the fridge since 10 mins after it was delivered

You won't die
the grease preserves it
Cold or going in the oven?
The sauce isn't gonna be very nice though
oven
Scientific fact
You'll be fine
Three days is nothing for pizza
Wrapping it in foil?
Yeah
I’ve has 3 day old fridge pizza and im not dead
Thing is
Prove it

well actually... I don't use the oven, I use a big skillet, put 2 tbsp of water in it, medium heat, let the pizza steam, when all the water is gone give it a few minutes for the base to crisp back up
Wrapping in foil or?
Nerd lol
Oh
Microwave it
He steams his 3 day old pizza
Meecrowahvey
Michelin Star shit right here

Blame pizza

Adam is gonna sous vide his 2 day old kebabs
@still tartan the school for girls book is not that fun to read most of the time so far. Because of my earlier mini rant
boooo 
another one off my tbr
Sometimes God humbles us
I'm halfway in. Maybe it'll focus more on vengeance
I'll let you know
Fingers crossed the book gets its own redemption arc
The only real important drama is that ||MC's roommate is gay and the bitchy Mean Girl pretended to like her for the better part of a year just to break her heart. By introducing her as her roommate to a long term bf||
For the first half of the book ^
Grade A Bitch Move
Ikr
hate it
I expect actually good revenge
Otherwise I'm gonna be so mad I bothered with it lmao
lmaooo
Then again I read Lightlark and Gothikana on purpose
When I knew they were bad
This is different though because I was excited for the idea of it
You read them so I didn’t have to 
I enjoy laughing at bad writing
However!
@still tartan
I do out of spite and then I regret it
I am not finishing Handbook for Mortals. I give up on that one
oof lol. between gothikana and lightlark, that’s the one that broke spirit. aint coming near it
last book i think i completed was one of the mortal instruments books?

My digital libraries are mostly haphazard jumbles of things
There's a ton of books I have just because they were free at the time

gotta say good cover art does entice you to read books you usually wouldnt
Yeah exactly
yall having a stroke i swear lol
Ffff
I read a book in school that I recently learned was the sequel to a different book and now I want to read the series lol
Exactly how I feel with my two newest ones, the covers are gorgeous
Heck yeah, I heard the last fffffffff was a blast
fall fare favin a ftroke
That's how I ended up reading Labyrinth Lost 
ffff
ya win some ya lose some

Too true
heheheh
I'm so offended when pretty books are bad. It's a bit irrational but it just. Why pretty if bad
ive been tempted to steal the covers off books in the school library before
That's why most libraries glue on the dust jacket
bad
nah they usually slip out of those
They lure you in, via crow syndrome. But deliver nothing but dull, bitter disappointment
tempted never done it
uh huh

Maybe in libraries you've been to but most library books I've gotten, the dust jacket is glued to the cover
Because some hooligan, switched all the jackets that one time
dust jacket was glued to the book but the cover could slip out
That makes no sense
I can't figure out how that would even work
A Magic Steeped in Poison keeps slipping out of the jacket
👀
the dust jacket is the shiny thing covering the book right
Me, ready for Canada
the tjing own fhe book yeah
If it's slipping off then it isn't glued on
I think they mean it has a dust cover and a sleeve
the jacket doesnt slip off the book cover does
ffffff well
yeah it has a sleeve the dust cover i meant is the transparent one not the official book one
those could come off
No
nice question and answer
thanks 
I've never seen a transparent one over the regular one
do not you dare skill issue in this house young man
they were in schools
You know what this needs?
at least in mine
I also did in fact go to schools that had libraries and still haven't seen them
A cat-terpillar
POV: you're the last pringle in the can
never seen transparent covers i was thinking of the book’s cover on the jacket sleeve thing
Idk I'm probably thinking too hard about it ool
I just did
Lol*
disowned
My book plastic covers, with the titles, were always laminated so... Did you delaminate them?
There's a book I have that used to be in a school library and they laminated the jacket cover lol
something like this. the cover has another cover over it
night everyone
Night
If you like beef, cover up
Gn
are you sure
Adam will be watching the FFFF
Yeah, that's been here for about 5 or so years now
everyone knows when you say gn you just lurk
I might be actually, if they stream it 
See here's the bonus part
The ex- library book I do have with a laminated outer cover
The entire laminated cover is glued to the book
So it does not come off at any capacity without damaging the book
How's it holding up?
yeah that was always loose here so you could take out the real dust cover
soiled
Book is in good condition
I'm not sure what they were on about
Seems like they just wanted to be rude to it
Who soiled it?
Obsolete is rude
what would have to be done to a book to be called soiled
No idea
god dammit u changed ur name xD
Finger marks from sweaty hands
that would be oiled
S0ul has had it for a long time and probably got it in one of those "free discontinued school library book" events
Your name now is confusing
The S is for sweat
swoiled
Swobsolete
Maybe the words were just that vulgar
Perfectly clear
Singular.... Multiple f?
But that +ff
Isn't that white +ff?
Fffffff
F white
Fwite
me_irl
FdamF
I don't wanna look it up
Anyone know what a baby swan is called
Sure
cygnet
Hehehe
Fingulaf Fleaf.
Do you want to know what a group of Ravens are called?
Crow?
Murder
Unkindness
Lol!
except spelled right, stupid autocorrect
Lol
Signyt
I said Raven
Swarm
I don't wanna signyt. I'm not signing anything
Fffff
Also can say a:
Rave of Ravens
Conspiracy of Ravens
Treachery of Ravens
Flock of Ravens (but this is boring)
My favorite part is that almost none of the animal group names are official
Just collectively agreed on by not-science
Raven was awesome
Heck yeah
Literary stuff is always nice :3
Except a gaggle. A gaggle is real
Not this raven.
See I almost was gonna sleep but s0ul keeps randomly snoring
Super inconsistent
hold his nose
Nah
Drop a pillow on his face.
Too much work
@sleek coral 
Shove a tube in each nostril
Drop an elbow from the top rope
Have dancing birb
@hard vine 
uknow the apartment i shared before @sleek coral ye its up to 90000 and its out last bid attempt
Birb is a supermodel
Ooooof! What the actual F!
Aren't you ready to go 100k?
Well... Would they reconsider, if you reconcile kneecaps?
not with my money/limited loan availability no
plus dont have that much income to pay % with
Okay
But 90k... are you purchasing the apartment or what?
purchasing right for it bidding wise, still gotta pay rent etc/can get thrown out cuz union apartment, but heat electricity and water ios included in low rent, which is like extremely few in my town @sleek coral
Hmm... this is different from what we have here in India.
It may please you to know that the last word is pronounced "croime", make sure your inner monologue is using the right accent
Oh, we know
- There's no bidding, first come first service.
- We have to pay a deposit from 2 months rent up to 11 months rent depending on area, if we're renting the house/apartment.
- If the other party is persistent on the same property anybody who can produce more money to the broker/landlord wins the fight.
brittish innit?
Bri-ish
House/apartment
the issue is my country/region have extreme housing shortage
But you then still have to pay rent?
The bid won't take money I assume, it's a show of "I have money"
@night bobcat @sleek coral
Ah
yes
I have the means to maintain this property and pay you
'oh no i gotta pay that not even an argument
You have to pay that 90k if you win?
yes
That's a flipping scam
Is this a timeshare thing I'm so confused
Say you pay 100k and win, what does that get you?
the apartment to live in that is like semi collectively shared by all owners
to keep low rent
Ehhhhhh! This is a completely new concept to me.
googled "how does condemoniums work in sweden"
So you aren't paying rent though, you would be paying services
What happens when you decide to move? Do you get the money back?
See I know of condos
I've never been able to understand them fully though lol
dont think so this is literally first ish attempt
i cant afford a house and it would be too much work, and i refuse to live in central
So this condominium is a property owned by the government?
con demon i ums
Or is it a property worth 10 times the bid price?
these text scammers are pissing me off
i cant really say yes or no cuz ive not researched on it, i know its like collectively owned by a housing union and the apartment users in said house and it has state net.... buuuuuuuut idk if it is owned BY the goverment
In the UK this would be a leasehold, I've purchased the exclusive rights to my flat for 125 years, and I can sell or subrogate those rights at any time
Had my ringer on because i have an alarm set and i think someone important texted me at 4 AM but no its HI IMPORTANT CLICK THIS LINK
Yeah
im sorry but would you like to speak about your car's extended warranty
Ooh
uuugghhhhhh
and i have an eyelash fully stuck in my tear duct so im double angy
suck it out
You and Spirit can compete for best sleeper
@sleek coral the state net isnt even forced on me i can get my own provider its just the way its installed device wise
yeah cuz you ain’t even on the list
i should sleep some more
I have an eyelash that's chosen to grow right above my tear duct for some reason
My eyelashes are thicc too so its like im being stabbed by an ant
wash your hands and just jam your finger in and rub it, there's no nerve endings on your eyeball
In India we purchase the rights to live on and maintain the property from the government for 99 years. We can sublet that property to anyone else for the current market rent, but that property is technically "owned" by 1 person + nominees have the right to the property after owner's demise.
thanks doctor adamc ill do that right away
SIR
Gleam did you see my Chia Pet
I did yeah 😄
It's what the optician makes you do before you're allowed contacts. Have to stroke your eyeball without blinking.

That's why I have glasses 🙂
I did not
just pluck out your eyeballs

contacts would actually kill me instantly

I just started it today
tempted
Yeah, pluck your eyeballs out and dip them in wo'ah!
