drl -Good Alt Txt'r, Bad IRL Txt'r™- dCsta

Dog Park Acquaintance: how about you drl, you’ve been to war and shit. you got any scars? Me: I fell in love with a woman at a time in my life that wasn’t convenient for either of us DPA:… Me:… DPA: um more like war scars Me: It’s been 20 years and I still find potholes disquieting? DPA: never mind

You know how people are always like “if libraries didn’t already exist the idea of them would be inconceivable?” What are things we used to have that are like that? Like imagine a gov mandated, ISP funded, free to use YouTube like platform? Crazy, right? That’s: Public Access Cable. We had that!

love the notion that there a trillions of voices calling out as ~~if~~ one across time and space to articulate a singluar avatar of their collective will to blow gently on Data's arm before grinning cuntily (complimentary) and asking if it was "good"

Who finally got bi directional FX send/returns across multiple channels on their setup? It me your boy drl. Still can’t break out of this loop tho

Did it just get ominous in here?

This moment in time feels right to share the story of how I once spent _days_ trying to figure out where my personal homepage was hosted before eventually figuring out I shoved the whole thing into a custom 404 response in my CDN config. Over a decade strong and never needed a patch.

I love telling ppl that in my 20s I had a GF who worked for a non-profit: Friends of the I​D​F; both because it highlights how many different people I've been (now drl would...um...not date that person) AND because it's how I know Busta Rhymes once performed Arab Money at an Isr​aeli fundraiser

if "We Have Guns Too" isn't the official platform of the democratic party by the end of the week I don't know what to do with this world.

Assuming you have absolutely no followup nor qualifying questions regarding my assertion nor expertise I can assure you -as a rocket scientist- that David is spot on here.

Hi, mom? yeah, it's drl. huh? yeah, I know we don't really talk anymore. hey, shut the fuck up for a second. Harry Dean Stanton's final film, Lucky (2017) is on youtube for FREE. What? Yeah, that's it. It's really good. Ok. Bye. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3xd...

I don’t know how it would work, but I wish Star Wars was more like The Muppets. Like, Sesame Street is for children but muppets are for EVERYONE. So you may see your fav muppet on Sesame Street, but you never see Sesame Street Muppets smokin back stage with Bette Middler on the Muppet Show

In the Bourne Ultimatum Bourne is sent a coded message to meet someone at 415 71st street. The message does not east or west 71st. That's over 3 miles. I sure hope someone got fired over that little fuck up.

"Technically True" - the worst kind of true, no one likes that guy. don't be that guy. "True, but the events related have no causal relationship to each other." - dark, mysterious, no one knows if you are that guy or not

I don’t believe in violence in the same way in I don’t believe in god. Broadly not a fan, some, extremely acute situations open up the possibility even if I don’t feel the same way when I calm down, and should the lord or an opportunity to punch a nazi present itself, I’d be stupid not to engage

A fun thing about using synthesizers is sometimes you'll be working on a song and realize you've recreated the jump sound from Super Mario Brothers from first principles without realizing it.

If you're a fan of both Franz Kirmann and Marconi Union's music† you might like my latest track: I Know Why People Laugh (Because It Hurts) †frankly, I don't see how anyone isn't

Air Pods have largely obviated this, but for YEARS one of my biggest (read: dumbest) pet peeves was people who hold their phone in one hand and hold the mic on the headphones up to their mouth with the other. YOU ARE USING TWO HANDS TO WORK YOUR HANDS FREE TELEPHONE SETUP DO YOU NOT SEE THE MADNES

🎶🎶 In The Moon Light🎶🎶 --drl didn't do it

This is objectively Not True…but the fact that it is OFTEN the guy who can do the most push ups who has the best chance of getting resupply and / or adequate security isn’t exactly a”plus” for the US Military.

For me it’s that Denzel Washington went his whole career without being in a sequel and then made 3 movies based on a 80s spy procedural TV show and part 2 of a movie whose part 1 ended with the death of both the protagonist and antagonist

I have been whatever you call “one step above doomer” for p much as long as I can remember, but watching this happen, with little fanfare and zero repercussions is probably what broke me of any notion of “America is good, we just need to do it right.”

It’s bandcamp Friday…please listen to my demo. I literally don’t care if you buy it, the day is just an excuse. (Every track is stylistically and sonically different, so skip around) drl-didnt-do-it.bandcamp.com/album/you-ar...

I know that when you say "X is Y 101" you are generally revealing yourself to only have a 101 level grasp on Y...but The Veil Of Ignorance - the thought exercise in which you imagine an ideal world with the proviso there is no guarantee who you would be in it is literally philosophy 101

Absolutely wild to me how few examples of Men Who Are Suoer Into Women Their Own Age I can think of. Like not to get Too Woke On Main While Unemployed, but women with a lil salt and pepper going are gorgeous and the media should say so.

I used to tell people "I grew up in a house where if you didn't know a word you got a dictionary & if you didn't know a thing you got an encyclopedia" to try and explain Why I Am The Way I Am...but the better I get to know my parents the more I suspect that less a House Thing and more A Thing I Did

🎶🎶Gonna go down down on an antler’d gals mound And sugar it tastes like chicken You know I’ll never mention a bullet… After what happened to Bambi(‘s mom), I just couldn’t do it.🎶🎶. —Fallout Boymode

Gonna make it a point to say “my desultory youth” in conversation more. Nice mouth feel set of words. Kinda eponymous if your interlocutor doesn’t know what it means.

left a big box of Free Stuff chained to the fence in front of my house with a sign saying “the stuff in this box is free, but not the box itself (or this chalkboard)” and went out to get a flu / covid shot. Came home & found someone had taken the chain. I love New York.

One baby to another says: I'm lucky to've met you. I don't care what you think unless it is about me. It is now my duty to completely DRAIN YOU.

Dog Park Acquaintance Who Keeps Trying To Goad Me: lol, drl do you shave your legs? Me: I mean, I have...but no. I was ~~accidentally~~ negligently irradiated a few times in the army and my leg hair fell off during the war. DPA: Oh...carry on.

H.A.T.E. It was with this old left hand that old brother cain struck the blow that laid his brother low L.O.V.E The right hand friends, the hand of love.

Had a dream I wrote an amazing cover letter saying I don’t believe in AI but if it’s as good as people say I shouldn’t need experience w/ it, it should just make my already considerable skills MORE valuable as you’ll get more out of me as you show me how to use it “well” Everyone clapped & I woke up

Fuck Elmo is what I'm saying

Look, can I PROVE that Elmo is perfectly capable of speaking like a regular person and/or muppet? No, Obviously I cannot. Do I believe with every fiber of my being that little shit is spouting "me no like..." nonsense because a team of consultants told him to? Yes, more so than anything: YES!

Super duper unrelated to what this is in response to...but I will never pass up a chance to remind people that Grover is Platonic Ideal Muppet with the gentleness of Kermit, the fearlessness of Piggy and the fur of Oscar. Fuck ass, perpetual child, speech impediment faking Elmo could never.

My honest feelings about selling my labor and/or the feasibility of a CDN that will inject a “nanovisor” into every website to beacon back telemetry and / or disable an end users add blocker.

I used to have 6 clocks behind my desk with the same time on them but different labels that were too small to see via a webcam. Whenever someone would inevitably ask about them I'd take my camera to show them the labels: "NYC, Washington DC, Miami Florida, Moose Island, Punta Cana, DR..."

> look how Eliezer Yudkowsky's Rationalist Harry Potter fanfic starts quite possibly the most "What the fuck, is there dog shit in this sandwich? Here, try a bite" ass sentence I've encountered in a hot minute. Anyway, If I had to taste it you have to taste it...that's just being American
