The Ghost of ÉmilieMake a "positive music" thread. #Reminder
@frankie I'm out driving people right now. Waiting for a customer to come outside.
@frankie They're grocery shopping. I have to pick them up in an hour.

I've only seen them jumping sideways, like a pendulum! 
in videos, of course!

Oui, Lowride was the name

@thebiologist1117 *lowrider
@frankie There's an entire culture surrounding customizing cars like that. Everything from the engine, to the suspension, to the bumpers, to the decals are all custom, usually done in a body shop. They're very expensive.
@frankie There can be music there, and lowriders will often try to "bounce with the beat." That's why they do that jumping thing.
@frankie It can be bad for the car, though, if the bumper crashes down on the ground, so you have to be careful.
I can't believe how immoral that is. These BMW owners *buy* these cars (the cars are theirs, they own them), and then greedy BMW finds a way to siphon off even more money from them, and since it's a subscription service, they'll never stop paying for it.
What's worse is that they're not actually getting anything for paying that $18 a month. *BMW* is taking something away, then charging for it.
Before we had these "internet of things" devices / products (#IOT), it would've been impossible to do what they're doing. But because corporations are so greedy, they abuse the power the internet gives them. They use it to take people's money.
If you're going to take my money, corporations, you at least have to give me something for it. You can't charge me for things I already own... Even so, that's what they're doing. 🤦♀️
@frankie Good morning! 💌🤍
@lydiaconwell If you somehow existed without ever having met or seen anyone else, how would that make you feel? #ThoughtOfTheDay
@thebiologist1117 night-o 👋❤️

We'd gone for trekkin' today!
And while I was on the hill, in union with the sky and the clouds, with the wind threatening to topple me and send me rolling down faster than I walked up, I was in bliss, and 'twas then that a thought occurred to me!
Isn't happiness the most important thing in the world? Whether it is a byproduct of something you sought, it is what you sought, happiness is the ultimate destination!
Happiness is worth the cost 😇

> with the wind threatening to topple me and send me rolling down faster than I walked up
LMAO, you're so funny Frankie 🤣
❤️ @frankie @thebiologist1117 And I agree, we should try to be happy. Also remember that happiness is a state, you just gotta find out what brings you to that state, it can even be the most simplest of things 😇
I am not here, write email if need to@frankie @[email protected] @futureisfoss Except happiness doesn't last. It's like motivation, can go in a moment. Life is not a sprint, but a marathon. There are so many instant gratification in front of us, and people blindly chasing them.
Go for meaning, that lasts.
Go for meaning, that lasts.
@parasurv @thebiologist1117 @frankie
When I said simple things that make you happy, I was thinking about things like listening to your favourite song, going for a walk, learning about something that interests you, spending time with your loved ones, etc. And I think they're meaningful too :)
And on the other hand, everything you do doesn't have to have a meaning, sometimes you do things just for the sake of doing it, and it makes you happy.
