We got this new toy at work and it's so much fun. If any of you have small children in your life I absolutely recommend it!! It's a stacking toy but instead of rings it's little gears that spin as they go down.

It is so mesmerizing the kids absolutely love it. It's great for working on their fine motor skills (grasping the rings and trying to put them on the pole, the gears also have a smaller hole than stacking rings so it's extra challenging), colour recognition, counting, and it's calming for kids to watch the motion!!

Tagging @Foreverfox because I know you have a little one and if you don't have this toy yet I think he'd like it!!

Aww thank you so much for thinking of us! 🥹🥰 he would love it for sure! I’ll go check it out!
 
Since Daylight Savings Time began in March instead of April back in 2007, I noticed several coincidences about the change in weeks DST begins and ends in:
  • The last year DST began in a month with a Friday the 13th without ending in another month with a Friday the 13th was April 2001. The next year Friday the 13th would occur in April was 2007, the first year DST began in March.
  • On a related note, April 2001 was the first time Friday the 13th landed in April in over 10 years.
  • The last year DST ended in a month with a Friday the 13th without beginning in another month with a Friday the 13th was October 2006. It was also the last time DST ended in October. Since then, it ended in November.
  • On a related note, October 2006 was the last time Friday the 13th landed in October for over 10 years. Before it landed in October again, there were three years that had three Friday the 13ths.
  • Speaking of which, two of the three years with three Friday the 13ths since DST began in March had DST begin in and end in months with a Friday the 13th. The other year with three Friday the 13ths had DST begin on March 11th, the same date DST began on in 2007.
  • Meanwhile, the only year so far where DST began in and ended in two months with a Friday the 13th without a third Friday the 13th was the first year of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
That’s a lot of coincidences by changing the days DST began on and ended on.
 
It's always so sad stepping off of the last long distance train in a long journey and watching what was essentially my home for the last few days pull away from the station and roll out of sight for the last time. At the same time, it was an amazing vacation and I'm glad I had the opportunity to take this trip!
 
I was walking to the store today in near negative temperature. There was a man oddly pacing in the snow and I didn't feel comfortable crossing paths with him. (especially with the road being isolated). So I turned around and walked the long way.

Halfway through the other route, my knees started to go numb so I decided to turn around and go home.

That was a decision that I think may have saved me. My knees were red and itching when I got back inside. Also overpoweringly warm but not in a way that felt 'good'.
 
I have the urge to play dead by daylight, as well as splatoon...
But to try and fit something into my day, I really need to organise myself better
 
when I was a kid, around 2009-2010, I remember getting a beanie baby cat for Christmas. her name was Cabaret, and she ended up being one of my favourite plushies that I owned.

I wonder what happened to her? there's another plush of mine that I've been looking for for years now, probably lost in our storage room somewhere. I can't help but wonder if Cabaret is hiding somewhere too 🥺
 
Just seen an deodorant commercial that was playing one of the most inappropriate songs from the early 2000s on it, except they had changed these lyrics. WTF!

I have chat requests turned off on chess.com

Today I get a message after beating a person and that's never a good sign. I decided to entertain it just this one time. It said:

"Congratulations on defeating a person holding a crying baby".

The only reasons somebody would write that.

1. Not gracefully able to accept a loss, so they devalue the opponents win.

2. A need to reassure themselves.

Either way it's toxic, and I won't indulge with them. My experiences with online multiplayer communities are already very negative. It's why I don't chat with people.

I’m sorry online multiplayer games have to be like that. Also…I would think chess players would be nicer or at least more mature, but…I guess not.
 
While we all don’t like what Twitter has become, what do you think of the sites Gab and Parler? I think they are toxic.
 
Idk if this makes me a fake fan or what…I knew RuPaul and Michelle Visage were friends, but I didn’t know they were radio DJs. (for WKTU in New York City.)

However, I knew about the RuPaul Show from the ‘90s.

I'm certain there are good and bad to each community.

Although having been bullied off a Smash Brothers server and getting death threats when I played Pokemon competitively, I don't feel like sorting through this anymore. It's easier to just turn off messages. (It still gives me a red dot when someone does try).

I'm not even sure why I decided to check the message last night. I had a gut feeling that it wasn't anything friendly.

If Xbox was criticized for staying the same, why was Nintendo and Sony criticized for changing? This meme seems contradictory.
 
speaking of Playstation controllers. I love the PS2 controller, I'm indifferent to the PS4 controller, and I don't like the PS5 controller. truly the definition of, if it ain't broke, don't fix it 😂
