Yeah, I’ll often spread spilled water across the table just so that it evaporates within a couple minutes.

From this Tumblr blog. Unfortunately the Creator stopped posting a while ago.

People always assume I want to turn my hobby into a job. I love to bake - it helps me de-stress from my job. If I made it my job, I wouldn’t have something to help me de-stress anymore. I make enough money; I don’t need to extract the joy from everything in my life for the sake of making more money.

My conspiracy theorist mom shared stuff like this all the time. This will absolutely be shared among climate change deniers as they roll coal on their way to the funeral for their daughters who died in the Texas floods.

Yeah, there’s always the underlying faith in the system in these types of stories. They assume that if someone was found guilty, they must have done it. The only ones that I see that go against that are ones where’s it’s been proven that they were falsely convicted, and even in those it’s usually framed as some freak one-in-a-million accident without anyone at fault.

The phrase “got your six” is a variation of “got your back,” referring to the method of using a clock face to denote direction. So, your 12-o-clock is directly ahead, your 3 and 9 are your right and left, and your 6 is behind you. Kind of a weird thing to put on your license plate, but I’ve seen weirder.

Good to know I’m not the only one! My wife was just talking about watching Pocahontas with our niece, and rolled her eyes so hard when I told her I’d poke her hontas.

I’ll often repeat things my wife says in the “I’ll x your y” format as if it were a cheesy pickup line. Like, she’ll ask if I can grab the remote, and I’ll say “I’ll grab your remote.” She hates it.

I’ll find a few new songs to be the first in my new library. I love finding new music, and transitioning from one library to another helps me take some time away from songs that might be getting stale to focus on new stuff. It also gives me the opportunity to rediscover songs from previous libraries after some time, and fall in love with them again. Just today I added a song to my library that I used to have on my old iPod, and I’m listening to it a bunch now that it’s been several years since I’ve last heard it.

My sister is like this, and she’s basically just constantly anxious about what she’s supposed to be doing and how people feel about her, so she forces herself to be talkative and energetic even though it exhausts her. It’s sad to know that behind her smile she’s just always stressed out about every little thing that she construes as someone maybe being mad at her. I’m glad that over the years I’ve been able to get her to be her real self around me, but I haven’t been able to get her to see a therapist yet.

My point is that the time when we might have found the right words to fix things is almost certainly over. It’s now time to start fighting against injustice with real action.

They did all this because they know that the vast majority of the playerbase will never hear about this, and many of those that do will either forget, or simply not care enough to boycott the game. We’re in an age of apathy across the board, with so much bad press that any given scandal just fades into the background noise.

I mean, I understand that this is a metaphor for some instance of “someone thinks x should have y, and is dumb,” but I have no idea what specific instance it’s trying to poke fun at.

We can’t even agree on what most of these words mean, much less get the majority of people to care about whether we adhere to them. I know multiple people who think the entirety of science is wrong, and that hispanic people don’t have the human right of safe housing, even when legal citizens.

I have this on my everyday playlist…

I smuggled a whole pan of brownies once. I barely even tried to hide it, but nobody asked about the weirdly square bulge on my stomach. They don’t care.

I saw the new one with my father in law today, after not having seen one since the original trilogy. It was just not good. I’m usually able to turn off my brain and enjoy a movie regardless of the quality, but there were so many things that didn’t make sense, or were glossed over without explanation, that I just couldn’t suspend my disbelief.

I found it back in the mid-2000’s while I was looking for a video game where I could build stuff, similar to legos, so when I played it all I did was make castles and robots and whatever. Maybe you could make minigames for people like they do now, but it didn’t seem like it was the main focus, at least from what I had seen back then.

I remember when my nephew first asked if I knew about Roblox. I was so excited to build some stuff with him, until he showed me this crappy superhero fighting simulator. I can’t complain too much, since it’s basically the new-age version of crappy flash games, but it was still a disappointment.

I learned this by accident while heating up some hot cocoa as a kid, haha!
