No idea. Picture it: Late summer, 1998.

I was working on the Jungle Cruise at Walt Disney World, and had a VIP group get on my boat with one instruction: no Brazilian guests could share the boat. Nice enough dude, built, good lookin’ dude.

There was an art to folding the paper in half again lengthways to read it without bothering the person next to you on the subway or bus—yet another skill I’ll never need again.

Given that my Mastodon feed is around 15% pooptoots (where I like it), it seems that you’re following the wrong people.

Pre-Eternal September.

I don’t trust Google with a goddamn thing, and Microsoft couldn’t get its shit together.

All the more reason to not reuse passwords, use a password manager, and turn on 2FA.

Proper surround sound with subwoofer required, to be sure
