Man I can’t even form a diatomic bond and y’all mfs getting polysaccharides and shit

Robin Hood is a twink confirmed

Curse a lot. Think of how google’s AI summary won’t appear if you include the word “fuck” in your search, or how everyone on social media is self-censoring naughty words for fear of The Algorithm. The internet has been carefully curated and manicured to be marketable to every possible demographic, so they can milk data from everyone; from the six year old watching Fortnite videos to the pearl-clutching suburbanites worried about the Gays corrupting their Family Values. Become unmarketable by swearing like a sailor. Make communities with your fellow potty-mouths. Rebel against censorship by saying “fuck” a lot.

Yeah, I wish there was a company that made a fully dumb electric car

I’ve been thinking this too. How hard is it to start a car company, I wonder?

Oh my god feta is amazing, why have I never thought about adding it to pizza

How do you build a system that doesn’t depend on voters not being morons? Everything I can think of, up to and including full-on authoritarianism, has human shittiness as a glaring weak point. The founding fathers assumed that people would, for the most part, act in good faith, and it kept us going for a couple hundred years, but all that is starting to fall apart.

That’s fair, and if you work in an environment where people are responsive to emails, that’s great. Unfortunately I work with a bunch of dinosaurs who would almost prefer a Western Express telegram over an email. I’ve had to physically go to their office and knock on their door to get shit done sometimes.

I’m someone who does this, and let me explain why.

It’s so you don’t have any excuse to ignore me. When I need an answer for something, if I send you an email, you’re going to either lose it in that jungle you call an inbox, or put it aside as “something to get to later” and inevitably forget about it. So I’ll just cut through all that and give you a call directly. If you don’t answer your desk phone, I’ll call your cell phone. I’ll get my answer one way or another, then it’s done. I don’t have to continually pester you with emails or delay things. One and done.

A pizza shouldn’t require you to fold it in half to eat it. I didn’t ask for a sheet of paper with cheese on it.

Fresh motor oil smells amazing imo. Kinda earthy

It’s part of a typewriter discord group I’m in. We’re all looking for excuses to use our typewriters, so writing letters to each other seems logical.

This was something that used to put me on the pro-car side; if it takes me multiple trips just to get all my groceries from my car into the house, lugging all of that on a bus or a bike would be a nightmare!

But then I saw content from people like Not Just Bikes, and saw how people in places with good public transit actually live, and it hit me like a ton of bricks that if shopping was more convenient, I wouldn’t need to buy a week’s worth of groceries in one trip. I could just swing by a corner store for what I need that night or the next morning, and one or two bags are easy to handle on a train or even a bicycle.

I used to sign up for a penpal thing where we would exchange letters written with a typewriter. One of the guys I wrote to was in Switzerland, we exchanged a couple letters but then he stopped responding.

Maybe I should try doing that again, it was fun.

Sounds like there might be a problem with your sinuses.

My own sinuses are kind of messed up, and they get inflamed and swell up as soon as I get a cold which makes me stuffed up even if there’s no mucus. But all the mucus I do get doesn’t drain properly, so I have to obsessively blow my nose every 10 minutes or else it just gets packed up inside and I get a sinus infection. I also pay close attention to the color; clear or pale yellow is good, green is getting concerning, and brown means sound the alarm, sinus infection is imminent.

Have you tried a neti pot? It works well to help irrigate my sinuses without feeling like I’m trying to force my brains out onto the tissue.

Do you mean 42.77 mpg? Because 4.277 mpg is awful lol

The original thirteen colonies worked exactly like that. From then on, it went something like “Hey, federal government, we want to be a state. We’ll follow all your rules, pinky promise.” “Aight.”

Originally the US expanded quite slowly, due to difficulties in travel and surveying. States were small and communities were close together, about as far apart as a person could walk in a day. At the end of the 1700s, it was only about as big as the blue area in the post above. But in the 1800s, after the Louisiana Purchase, we began to very aggressively expand westward. The construction of the Intercontinental Railroad helped immensely, and towns were being built almost faster than they could name them. The government began giving away land for cheap or sometimes free for anyone who could develop it. Native Americans were forced off their land and onto reservations. State borders became straight lines encompassing vast areas.

Hell, I listened to this album sober, and I understood.

Actually, he’s busy playing Black Ops 2 zombies while driving
