• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

Place your random thoughts.

was talking to my mom earlier about the time when I asked my history professor (who is not a "libtard" professor and doesn't shove his views in people's faces at all) what the best news source would be for me to get info on the latest events without bias. he said I should completely avoid any televised news like MSNBC, CNN, Fox, etc. he also told me that he personally reads the Washington Post and the New York Times for unbiased news.

then my mom said "well even the NYTimes is biased, the whole time Trump was in office they bashed him nonstop."

did she ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, the things which Trump was doing weren't good things?
Oh yikes, sorry that convo went south like that. ):

If it helps any, a journalism professor I had recommended NPR (wire service news) and Associated Press (also a wire service). As much as I enjoy reading NYT and WaPo, they do have biases. And a lil spoiler alert: biases will always exist in media, but good journalism tries to minimize it and keep a line firmly drawn to maintain morality, ethics, etc. :) (Keep fair and balanced reporting a standard.)

Been feeling so exhausted these past few days. No idea why.
 
Digging through some of the older threads on this forum, it quickly becomes apparent to me that the moderation on this website used to be a lot more "loose" in the past, and users had more freedom to express themselves without instantly getting warned/banned.

I think I've mentioned this before though, was just reminded again.
 
I am part of a anxiety PTSD group on facebook and there was a lady who shared a video about a trending topic on youtube called "I'm _insert age_ and I have no friends." And now I wonder if not having friends is something that really bothers people or not. I know for myself, I basically have one friend who honestly rarely puts effort into the relationship. She does have mental health issues but sometimes I wonder if there is more going on there. Anywho the trend topic doesn't count acquaintances as friends while myself will count a friend as two people who have a balanced or positive connection with a common interest and enjoys interacting with each other. So in reality, unless you count acquaintances as friends, I don't really have friends and it honestly doesn't bother me. However I am not sure if it is because of my outlook that kind of "supplements" what people may consider a lack or if I am simply perfectly fine with not having friends. And online relationships and communication are also a thing and could also be considered a "supplement". I mean I think I am fine with not having friends, so I guess I struggle understanding why others may be bothered by not having friends.
Just something that makes me think is all.
 
Nookazon is having contests and giveaways for pride month so I expected thebelltree to do the same but I guess not. There's still time but it's probably cause we just had the gaming championship and the mods are tired, which is fair.
 
it doesn't look as big in the picture but idk I was really impressed at the size of this onion I chopped up last night

a friend of mine is working on a game that's being published on switch and pc, doesnt look that bad either. who would've thought
 
That Zelda game & watch is probably going to be just as scalped as Nintendo’s other limited edition systems. It’s a shame too. I’d love to get one before it becomes a collector’s item.

A local walmart still has loads of the Mario one. Probably because no one thinks they're paid enough to open the case.
 
Today I was working and I thought I heard the overhead say “shop shop online” instead of “shop us online,” and my first thought is, does the overhead have a Nopon voice now?

I think I’ve been playing too much Xenoblade. :lemon:
 
I ordered a Zelda Game and watch, even though I don't really "want" one. But, yeah...while I was ordering that, I still saw the Mario one available to order on Amazon. I don't think there is really any shortage of them. I might get the Mario one after the Zelda one, if it's still around. Both are overpriced...but I'll get them just to have.
 
life is too short to give a **** about what other people think.

I'm 22 and I stayed in a hotel w my uncle and I had my spongebob pants on, watched spongevob to fall asleep, and had a stuffed animal in my bed. i didnt bring my Mario Kart comforter w me but that wouldve been the cherry on the sundae. made me realize how much I still live like a kid. do I really care though? not at all.
 
I’ve been practicing level 28 songs on Bandori to full combo for quite some time but gave up like 2 weeks ago because I got tired of hearing them. Today I randomly played Sugar Song & Bitter Step just to keep myself awake and I surprisingly?? Full combo’ed it?? 😭 Lmao I’m far from perfecting it but I’ll take what I can get

Maaaan, nothing hurts more than Deku refusing a bento box from All Might. OTL
He's seriously losing himself to this fight against AFO, he's pushing everyone away. Been seeing speculation of Spiderman parallels and I swear if All Might gets the Uncle Ben treatment, it's going to break Deku. I really hope Bakugo and the rest of the class appears soon to snap him out of it, especially when he was the one to tell him not to run off on his own. Can wait for this arc's climax, I really do have a feeling that All Might's death is going to be a catalyst.
 
how come humans haven't evolved yet to have retractable claws smh

Serious answer: Humans technically don't need them. We have tools that do that for us, knives, pointy sharp objects, ect... We also aren't a hunting race, we don't NEED to hunt our food like predators, so we don't need the tools to do so. What I want to know is why we still have an appendix and tailbone if we don't need them. Like, wouldn't evolution just stop wasting the energy of making those things?

Not serious answer: File your nails just right and you too can have the weapon of a cat right at your finger tips. Thou I don't even need to file mine to get them like that, they're so sharp as is that they already scratch and break skin like claws😅



I reeeeeally hope those damn ants don't kill my plants. I found an INFESTATION of ants and other buggy bugs in three of my indoor plants today. It's been raining alot here lately so they prob crawled inside to seek shelter, but NO. NO SHELTER IN MY ROOM. If that lizard was still in my room he's have a field day, so very, very many ants to eat.

I repotted those plants, getting rid of as much old soil as I could and putting them in new soil with fertilizer also. I hope the plants will be okay.

Also they went after my sedam, 'pancake' succulent and my wandering jewel, 2 of 3 which are succulents. Maybe they liked the soil, cause my cactus which is nearby was untouched. Atleast from what I saw.
