oh my goodness 24 hours later and I found it. i'm *so* happy now


It was a song released all the way into 1996. 30+ years after they split. I was not looking in the right places at all.

I've been trying to find a clip, longer than 43 seconds, of Yoko doing her demented yodeling during the Beatles collaboration with Chuck Berry. I think that's been taken down again.

I really liked the Collab between Julian Lennon and Chuck Berry (it was a few years after John Lennon was assassinated).

He does embody much of his dad musically.

For dating apps, people have nothing else to go off but looks. We could have a lot in common, but it’s rare anyone is willing to give it a shot if they aren’t physically attracted to you.

I find that most people on dating apps are only looking to get into relationships for wrong reasons. It’s hard to find anything real when you’re dealing with that.

Exactly. A lot of the people on them are only there for quick flings or to find the dream person that doesn’t exist. The shady business practices by the developers themselves (looking at you, Match Group) also reveal the fact that they only want your money and do the bare minimum to help you out. One of the biggest financial mistakes I’ve made was wasting money on the boosts and premium subscriptions. While I did not spend anything on this latest go around, I was disgusted to see that some of the subscription plans had you pay over $59.99 a month. Yes, you read that right — a month. And that’s not even for a top-tier plan. Previously, the highest I’ve seen was $39.99 a month, so you’d think that reducing subscription prices would get people to come back, right? Nah. Gouging the price that much just to see who likes you is enough to cause people to cancel and leave en masse.

Who knows how many real people use these apps. I don’t have a right to know, but according to one Reddit post I saw, you’re much more likely to find a real connection at a crowded bar than through any social app, and I believe that. In general, people are particularly less picky about others when in public. On the dating apps, they obtain the safeguard of being able to reject “ugly people” without consequence. That’s the major flaw of the swipe-based mechanic, and it’s pretty sad how I fell for the in-app purchases.

Maybe a message-initiation place such as eHarmony actually works. However, I can’t justify having to pay a crazy amount of money only to not find anyone. I’ll now focus on attending actual events in my area and seeing who I can meet. A single decent experience in speed dating definitely trumps multiple dating app failures.
 
I'm always recommended the new, popular, totally comfy cozy games on YouTube, mainly farming sims and other similar genres. Everyone's always looking for that perfect, oh so cozy, kawaii game 🥺💖 it's starting to become overrated.

Meanwhile, Resident Evil 1 Remake is one of the most cozy games to me. The footsteps, the sound of doors opening and closing, the overall atmosphere... It puts me to sleep every time. It's so relaxing 😴

2024 will forever be remembered as the year where everything went wrong and how nothing seems to make sense anymore.

There's some good. Disney+ never did crack down on their password sharing, and the angry hippie Karen across the hall isn't going to have the chance to leave dog crap in the hall any more. Little things add up, good and bad.
 
I think I realized I shouldn’t underestimate the talent of indie writers. I’ve read several books by authors who used to be indie and I enjoyed all of them a lot. They were so creative and different from what I normally see get published.
 
I'm so groggy this morning. Gonna need a couple cups of coffee to power through the day.:coffee:

A long time ago, one of my dad’s coworkers burned several TV theme songs onto a CD and gave it to us. (Yes, I’m that old lol.) I didn’t know what shows all of them were for, but later I Googled the lyrics and found out which ones there were. The instrumental ones, like Mama’s Family and Sanford and Son, I identified by watching the shows.

Anyway, the Perfect Strangers theme song was too good for the show…. Sounds almost like it could be for an anime or something.

 
Even as of today, the overall community’s set of beliefs doesn’t resonate with the Bell Tree Rules and Guidelines, as well as other staff decisions. Sure that they believe in the same stuff the official rules state, but in some areas (like politics, TBT Marketplace, and even events), they tend to disagree. Collectibles especially, but I notice it a lot in the political fields too.
 
It’s so weird starting playing Stardew Valley because most of the games I play almost no one else on this site is interested in (besides Pokemon and obviously Animal Crossing I guess, but even then I don’t really play those very often), but now not only am I playing a game that is popular, but it’s one where everyone else is way better than I am. It’s just such a change of pace to see lots of people talk about a game that I actually play.
 
Do I or do I not tell my partner than the kittens have destroyed yet another pair of her earphones. 🤔

I keep telling her not to leave them in her jacket pocket! 😂
 
Hoping I don't end up on a watchlist all because I'm looking up how bullying works. It's for several scenes in the story that I'm writing and I don't want to go around asking random people online. I don't want to open wounds.

If you see this internet overlords, that's what I'm doing. So don't hurt me.
 
Had sushi again. I think this is like the 3rd or 4th time in 2 weeks lol. Thankfully, it's one of those foods that I don't get sick of very easily. 😋
 
Some accused me of giving them the wrong amount of change today, in a very condescending way. He said “I can tell you right now that’s the wrong change” even though it was correct.

I didn’t respond. I calmly laid the bills out on the counter in front of him, and he shut up afterwards.

My Bipolar would’ve had me flipping out. It’s the small victories…
