I'll play. I figure I might never finish all the tiers solo but maybe I have a shot at the higher ones if I contribute to a group ๐Ÿ™‚

DISCORDIANISM

I like the seasonal holidays, so

  • Chaoflux
  • Discoflux
  • Confuflux
  • Bureflux
  • Afflux

Each conveniently occurs on the 50th day of its respective season.

Of course some people might prefer the apostle holidays. Those folks are weird.

Mine right now (sorted by recent):

  • Ad for local flooring installer
  • Sponsored ad for power company
  • "Hey, everyone. ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm Shawn. Hello!"
  • Ad for local home remodeling
  • User giving away a cat
  • Sponsored ad for garage doors
  • Another user welcome message
  • Found pet alert from local animal shelter
  • Sponsored ad for bathroom showers
  • Ad for local bathroom remodeling
  • Ad for local handyman service

So when it's not ranty freakouts it's 85% ads.

Fun fact: the Fallout series has 73% more toilet skeletons than any other game franchise, according to the Environmental Storytelling Toilet Skeletons' Workers Union, which is an organization I just made up.

This is my experience with every fourth post on the Nextdoor app.

Oh wow haha, I didn't know that!

It probably would have been closer to 1990 when I first saw it though so it would've been PG-13 by then. Still, an interesting factoid.

Dare I ask, why? I mean obviously meth addicts aren't known for their shrewd decisions in general, but is there some sensory or cognitive change in particular that compels them to put foreign objects in their butts more than say, alcoholics would?

Yeah Temple of Doom and T2 for me as well.

ToD was somehow approved by my parents (I think it was rated PG-13, not R) and we even owned it on VHS but I definitely lost some sleep over the heart scene and also the monkey brains.

T2 was definitely not approved, but I watched it at a friend's house.

That's called a compressor and you could run your stereo through one or use a mobile app to do the processing on your phone.

Yeah I feel like 80% of Norwegian is just mutated German.

e.g. Tier --> dyr (animal)

What non-game paid apps do you use that are worthwhile and still relevant in 2023?

For context, I have a decent amount of Google Play credit thanks to Opinion Rewards and a gift card. I'm not looking to start a book or movie collection there, nor sign up for subscription services. But I'm happy to buy the paid/pro version of useful apps.

I'm excluding games just because that's a whole topic on its own.

Here are some one-time paid apps I've been happy with:
