Did you stop bowling for a while? Over time my idea of "bowling alley smell" gradually shifted to wax, spilled drinks, and well-oiled antique machinery.

I wouldn't change it back. Now it smells more distinctive from everywhere else.

At my work it constantly smells like cannabis because there's a literal weed factory next door.

It's great because I just blame my weed smell on the factory.

At least the airplanes were designed to pull smoke downwards, which reduced transmission rates for covid.

There's a simple solution to everyone loving their job:

Work should be optional.

You don't see retirees volunteering for tasks they hate. Inb4 scrubbing toilets; I'd prefer to design toilet-scrubbing machines instead of toys for rich people.

Everybody I know in meatspace is even more ready to throw down! They're all waiting for someone else to go first; it's a powder keg. (Bias: I'm in LA, we're devastated by climate change and ICE is rounding up our neighbors)

Really unless they write a full confession, they're just posers. /s

I roll my eyes real hard when moderates oversimplify to just "violence". As if genocide and defense against genocide are morally equivalent in the slightest.

It's a coward's way to sound principled while pretending state violence isn't violence.

IMHO there's still hope in p2p mesh networking. It can't support high-bandwidth applications, but all the absolutely critical correspondence would work.

I wonder if that's throwing off the statistics.
