I got an extra day of holiday in 2012 ‘cause the queen won’t die.

That was kinda cool I guess.

[TD1]

Long live the Queen!

Says everyone but Charles.

[Iduno]

I mean, if she'd just take Henri Paul up on that tour...

[wierd]

Head colds suck.

That is all.

So now that I've finally got the funds (and maybe time and folks to go with) to see Pripyat, it turns out that the whole place is becoming an influencer shitshow thanks to the chernobyl series. As much as that show has been great I'm really disliking the burst of popularity it's gonna bring to a place where the whole point of going is that's fucking devoid of people :I

"Hell is other people"

You did know about this concept, right?

Just start saving up even more and go to Aokigahara! It'll probably fall out of public interest and they'll start letting western tourists in there again by the time you're ready to go...

And if you really were looking for the authentic experience of turning red and having your face melt off, there's always Death Valley.

[Jopax]

Nah, I got thicc forests aplenty in these parts. What I'm fascinated by is abandoned places. You know, where civilization once was but it kinda buggered off. Having a bunch of people around kinda fucks with that concept.

There are plenty of rad, heartbreakingly picturesque ghost towns across the US, even if there was a boom of tourist interest in them they could hardly all be crowded!

[Jopax]

That has the issue of going to the US attached to it. I'd rather avoid that if at all possible.

[Eric Blank]

There's abandoned mining towns throughout Chile and Argentina too

The front glass on my phone is cracked. Very mildly so, just one long, fine crack starting near the top-right corner and ending at the middle. It's almost impossible to feel.

That one crack chops ~$100 off its potential resale/trade-in value, a third of the phone's retail value. And that's if the next owner decides to replace the front glass by separating it from the display, a risky procedure. A full screen replacement would cost ~$200 or more. Granted, it's not a total loss; it'd probably be worth ~$25 by the time I sell it.

Dyatlov Pass?

Despite all the alarms I had set I slept in by like, five hours, but I had a fascinating dream so at least that's something.

I’d advise going to some of the islands in the west of Ireland. Nearly every single one used to be populated, but in the end, the populations went down, life became harder, and they all up and left over a few decades. You can still go there, see the vast emptiness spotted with ruined houses.
