Counter with awareness of the alternative:
That Exxon sign is ridiculously tall.
If memory serves, this is Breezewood, PA; about the middle of the state of Pennsylvania, along the PA turnpike. It’s an easy on/off between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia that doesn’t sell you convenience food at turnpike rest stop captive prices.
Anyway, central to west PA is Appalachian mountains, and this part of Breezewood is at the bottom of a valley. The sign is tall so you can see it east and westbound from the turnpike.
I don’t know why I shared this information.
I’m glad you did. From my perspective, this could have been any exit off I-25 from Denver to Albuquerque.
Glad to know we’re all in the same boat.
Also, we should fix the boat.

Listened to this again the other day after not hearing it for a while and it still hits so hard for me.
So people driving cross-state on the freeway can see it and suddenly realize they have to pee.
Fair enough. I’d still rather have well-maintained public restrooms or at least pay toilets with discreet signage on the roads. This monstrosity is just luring desperate travelers to a potential staff infection.
Damn this is exactly what I thought.
It’s not so bad. Where else can I get a shriveled hotdog that’s been on the rollers all day, slap it on a stale bun, and cover it in expired condiments that people have coughed on?
I use counter spell of smoking a bong.
Bong
Normally you smoke the weed.
Yeah if you only want to get high, the true magic comes from smoking the bong.
Damn, I still have so much to learn.
Try having an upside bong, that’s great for unlocking your weed wizard knowledge.
jokes on you, i just started wasting time on my phone.
counterspell: quickly scroll past without dwelling on it
You shall not pass!
You have no power here!

This is the way.
I kinda needed this
thanks
FUCK. my alarms went off 30 minutes ago I need to get out of bed do shit.
I have my phone charging pad in my living room. If I needed an alarm I would use my old clock, but these days I wake up at first light, because I have two furry 75 pound alarm clocks that won’t let me sleep. Previous to fostering them, I would wake up and get up immediately, because I don’t have any entertainment in my bedroom. It makes falling asleep and waking up much easier for me.
Bah, I waste my time on my computers.
“You may have outsmarted me, but I have outsmarted your outsmarting.”
Hey stop it! Next you are going to tell me to work in my paid time!
Piefed tells you how much time you’ve spent on it at the bottom of the page and I genuinely appreciate it. (Also a great example of something that a profit-driven social media site would never do.)
the bottom of the page
…there’s a bottom?
scrolls endlessly
For some classic internetting, a new Homestar Runner video came out this week that mentions this: https://homestarrunner.com/toons/backtoawebsite. It made me go, “Oh yeah, there did used to be an end of the page!”
Joke’s on you, I’m on a PC, not a phone.
I’m taking a shit. It’s either memes or existential dread, so I’m doing this.
Be careful, don’t sit too long!
Idk…I just learned that USA doesn’t have civil rights anymore…so it wasn’t a complete waste.
You have no power here Gandalf the gray!
