Re: Random, Random 2.0
Seems everyone in this mid town Manhattan medical facility waiting room is absolutely miserable. I haven’t heard a positive word from anyone within earshot. Good to know I’m not nearly as miserable as I thought

Re: Random, Random 2.0
I'll join in! I was miserable on the subway today, Owen. People no longer use headphones, apparently, and I forgot mine. I really wanted to slap the person next to me listening to (mediocre) music and dancing in her seat at 8 am.Owendonovan wrote: ↑Wed Jan 28, 2026 2:33 pm Seems everyone in this mid town Manhattan medical facility waiting room is absolutely miserable.

Re: Random, Random 2.0
The new "rudest" trend. No headphones, and blasting their (expletive) music. No consideration to anybody else.
And: talking via speaker. No consideration to the fact that I don't want to hear your conversation.
I said it around the mid 90's. The worst invention of the 20th century was TV. And the worst invention of the 21st is smartphones. Sure, they make live a bit easier. But they have changed our social conventions too much. And not necessarily for the better.

Re: Random, Random 2.0
Well, I've not seen it in neighbouring countries either. Albeit fair enough I'm there only a handful of times per year. Who knows what happens in say Paris metro..l

To be fair, it wasn't nearly as bad as NY even in London when I was there in the summer.

Re: Random, Random 2.0
Rediscovered a now 19 year old
Photoshop file of something I made for old TAT which I thought got lost about two computers ago. Had an absolute blast making this - I believe all attire was correct for that season as well, with the exception of a certain whale-themed t-shirt
