as the rollercoaster crests the top of the initial incline, the ratcheting noise slows and stops, and you can, right before the plunge, observe the entire amusement park

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

i've always loved the Terry Pratchett Boots Theory of socioeconomics but it's really striking now how it's slowly becoming inaccurate bc so many companies straight up do not make good products anymore. not even rich people can buy things that aren't designed to break in 3 years bc they don't exist

Hey doc, it was just brought to my attention that my knees technically shouldn't sound like glowsticks every time they bend

Corn, asparagus, and beans are the most satisfying veggies to eat. You give em to your body, and your body goes "Ah! But to give back is the best joy!"

@npr.org Ms. Mary Louise Kelly deserves endless kudos for dealing with Mitch Landrieu's absolute disrespect in never answering questions. Classic politician who should never be invited back

People like to talk about being radicalized politically but honestly not wanting people to die of poverty and be able to get insulin and not bombing innocent children seems like pretty normal boring morality, all those other fucking weirdos are the radical ones

Hey #actuallyautistic and anyone else who uses sound sensory aids, got any recs? I've been eyeballing Loop but I feel like it's mostly marketing. I love FaB armories but the noise is uh overwhelming

Eagerly awaiting the next TAZ v Dracula episode, specifically as the Transformation Elixir only lasts for 10 minutes and I wanna see Clint's beautiful gutsy choices have consequences

Picture perspective is from inside a vehicle, looking out to a house's front yard. A factor foods meal box has been torn into, and a big black dog and a yellow dog are helping themselves to the meals.

Factor meals must be a hit huh

A headshot of a sarcastic fringhead, showing the fish’s dark round face, large frown-like mouth, and protruding eyes looking in different directions.

“Yay. Monday,” the fringehead said sarcastically.

If your dog is watching me deliver from your glass door and I hesitate to approach, it's because I don't trust that your glass door is latched and locked. When I say dog, I mean any dog, even the tiniest "harmless and friendly" ones 📦
