Uploading this here so I always know where to find it. #thankslori

This is a pretty small instance that I set up for friends, but for me is mostly a gateway to keep in touch with friends elsewhere on the fedi, as well as to meet new folks.

Registration is generally open unless there's some bot fuckery going on.

There isn't really a "theme" here but I'm happy to welcome anyone who is good-natured. I sort of want this to be the next evolution of that message board where you used to just go to hang out.

#introductions

Hey peeps, I'm Stu and I run straylight.expectnomore.net. It's a small instance where I constantly try to cajole old internet friends into joining, but it's also open to anyone looking for a home online.

I post mostly about my pets, music, game development, and home improvement. And also usually links to weird shit.

Roaming Bands of Nicotine-Enhanced "Vape Dogs" Considered Significant Factor In US's Expedited Withdraw from Afghanistan

it's stupid and lame to paste a screenshot of your own chat messages to social media but I gotta know

can we connect bin Laden to a vaping dog?

C'mon fediverse let's crowdsource this

I don't have any real problems other than being entirely disillusioned with everything on this stupid planet.

Follow-up: The fediverse is pretty ok. Particularly when you filter out the limited shameless self-promotion that happens.

It can be boring at times but that's preferable to the alternative.

The internet was a mistake.

Might be the best picture of Meadow ever.

The production is just worlds apart. Maybe it just speaks to Tyler, the Creator as a producer? I mean the guy is a mad genius. But I think also the standard has been raised in the past two decades also. Super interesting juxtaposition.

To this, which was on an album that was - a hit I guess? Do we have hits in the post-streaming world? I don't know, but Tyler, the Creator is popular enough to have made a commercial for Coke, so he's gotta be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gAHhLb6tjA

Compare the beat production on this, which was a HUGE hit back in the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj3mHN8h_zk

Listening to some DMX because of course, and there's lots of early 2000s nostalgia for me in that, but after going on a binge of modern hip hop recently (albums from the last ~5 years) it's crazy to me how much production has evolved. The edgiest of edgy beats from 2000 sound so basic now. No disrespect but I find it fascinating.

Having a bad brain day. Here, have these.
