See I view this as a 90s staple, not a forgotten gem, but I can see it. I really loved these types of 90s 1 hit wonders (hate to belittle them with that term). Hum - Stars & Toadies Possum Kingdom are others. Filter was more of a slightly lasting band but Nice Shot is another.

That's the first time I've ever checked tik Tok.
I don't get the appeal. I assume all the videos are that short. So it's kinda like that Vine shit years ago?
Yeah, its mostly 15 seconds. Can go up to 60 seconds, early on it seemed less common & they'd lock the higher trending ones to the 15 seconds, probably selling a mindset or addiction to it, lately tho it seems the 60 seconds is popular as well. Its a funny app, I'll say, it does seem to bring people together, more strangers than IG or FB, just videos randomly popup in your feed. So kinda like Twitter, you just scroll down video after video indefinitely. You can 'follow' ppl too, which is a different tab or page, so checking both out is good. People from the south, west coast, NYC, Boston, even UK and other countries although it mostly seems to show me US. It'll find your interests so I like watching skateboarding & guitarists/covers, there's different niches but mostly its comedy too.
Vines a good analogy, a different sense of humor with kids/Gen Z but I find it funny.

Im not a spring chicken anymore. The fears of my drug fueled youth came true...my body is breaking down as I stare down the barrel of 50.
Im not looking forward to rolling the dice on either one... regardless of what the exact statistics are for each path you travel.
There are currently young and old people in cemeteries and urns who wound up there days/weeks after getting sick or getting a shot.
I'm sure they'd all like a do over on their decision.... whichever it was.
You've been very open about your past with drug use. I was just wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing what it's doing to you in old age. I don't want to pry into your privacy but I assume you're an open book based on the things you've posted here over the years.
I'll be honest, around 42 your body really starts to break down. Just like joints hurts, wrists, knees, back, neck. I was always a big beer drinker, could easy do 10-12 on some nights out with little effort. Now, 3 beers is good for me, maybe 4. I think if I drank a 6 pack I'd be zonked out. Things like that, James might be a little worried about liver, kidney type stuff too, heck I should be. Can't do shots/liquor at all anymore, my body doesn't break it down and it just feels like its running thru my bloodstream the next day.

Ok, I admit I'm on there, I think its a pretty cool app, fun. This came up in my feed, thought it was funny. Checked out the guys profile, he's actually a pretty good drummer, so seems legit. TikTok hjumor tho.

Whoa, Mr ID, I just heard on the radio there may be a link between the Astra Zeneca vaccine and certain types of blood clots.
Found some articles: https://www.seattletimes.com/business/o … clot-link/

Flaggs disappearance is interesting. I'll admit, I think he & I went at it hard in 2008, and I disliked him much more then. But looking back yeah he disappeared. He did goto Iraq tho after that, and maybe was there in 2012 or had just recently returned and wasn't on the guns forum, but then yeah 2016 he was on again. And again in 2020.
So, maaaaaybe its all a coincidence that he stirs things up election years then drops, but maybe he gets a kick out of it. Solves a problem in his life. On the other hand tho maybe he views things like whats done is done, and just gets over it and moves on.

Yeah no I wasn't implying you were out of shape. I never heard of DVT so quickly googled it and saw it was blood/vein related. Thought maybe a certain diet & maybe pumping blood thru the veins thru exercise could help offset. But, I'm no Dr so don't follow me I guess. Sorry to sound crass, maybe google it to see if others report concerns with it or side effects. I may be wrong but I don't think its a popular thing like diabetes or ashtma where its side effects are reports more often in the news etc.
#79 Re: The Garden » Covid 19 » 256 weeks ago
I didn't get it, early on I heard more about ppl getting sick from the 2nd shot, but that seems to have been downplayed lately. My parents are close to 80 & seemed ok from it. Wish you well man, you 'should' be ok, can you do anything like eat healthy or certain vitamins to help? Maybe go running once or twice beforehand but I really don't know much about DVT really.
#80 Re: The Sunset Strip » Chris Cornell - No One Sings Like You Anymore Vol. 1 » 256 weeks ago
Wow, didn't know this but I've been seeing her/them in various news reports (FB, Yahoo etc) and couldn't piece it all together. I don't read the articles, come off like gossip and hard to imagine it resorted to this, especially so quickly. I think you're right tho, her being difficult seems the likely scenario, those 3 guys all seemed so chill.
Ashame this happened to Chris, not saying you're 'last night' thing is completely true or why he did it (could've been pushed over the edge in a vulnerable time, being on tour, away from the kids too much, potentially losing custody as a result) but yeah I think maybe this was a toxic relationship. Funny, compared to all the glam of the 80s, Chris & Eddie Vedder seemed like they would find suitable marraiges &/or relationships.
