Topping up my tire pressure is his love language

Seeing my folks tomorrow for Thanksgiving and if there weren’t a ball game on tomorrow night my dad would be asking for my car keys to go check all my fluid levels. Tbh he might anyway

The length of time I have been friends with @lazulisong.bsky.social at this point is something I prefer not to look directly at, especially considering it was nuTrek fandom we met in

I have some online friends going on 20+ years now, it’s a good time

Zach de la Rocha has written some 🔥 stuff for his features on Run the Jewels songs. I like it way more than most of what he did with Rage, which is good because it’s been decades and that means he kept levelling up

Normal Amazon reseller behaviour

Does he believe in clapping for Tinkerbell and if so how does that affect his belief-based medical practice

Do it (good job tho)

Very attractive butch lesbians there

An expansion team knocking the Yankees out of the postseason is better than winning the series though, honestly

The bullshit we could eat before age 25 man

I tried reading a library copy in my youth and it was one of a small handful of books I quit with prejudice before the 25% mark

The (understandable) frustration of dealing with false positives on something you’ve posted is a small price to pay for allowing us all to pretend the internet is not as full of absolutely heinous recordings as it actually is. I could not handle that work. Adjacent work without visuals was rough.

I watched all of Twin Peaks and can’t remember the word tulpa coming up there, personally lol

It’s so bad

I refuse to believe that most people who know what a tulpa is didn’t learn it from X-Files or Supernatural lol

Just googled her; apparently she’s been doing it longer than me, which makes it embarrassing for her that she’s still worse at it

Counsel also talked to me during our mid-recess heated argument like she thought I was an articling student or something. No lady I’ve been doing this as long as you have, and am clearly also better at it than you are

Today I bore witness to opposing counsel making the choice to tell an associate judge that she’d just served us with a filed notice 20 minutes after the hearing it was relevant to had already started, and we should check our email.

The judge literally said that comment was offensive lmao

For that matter, I also have 2 Gen X brothers and neither of them got into the field they decided they wanted to eventually retire from until they were into their 30s or later, either

Solid careers don’t exist that early in your adulthood anymore. I am on my first solid career and I had to go back to school for a second degree at age 30 to get into it. Lots of wage work and stacking up part time jobs to pay the rent until then.

Staying at the same job is also a relic of the past

I connected with my grade 10 English teacher on Facebook a couple years ago (almost 20 years after I graduated) and she was transparently delighted to catch up with me. While I remember a bunch of kids I used to coach or otherwise work with (I tutored), it’s impressive to still be known 20 yrs later

This is one of the numerous reasons my whole face scrunches up when people ask me, as a person who used to be a linguist focusing on second language acquisition, what I think of Duolingo as a (primary) learning tool

Gotta give them more time to tell you it’s a civil matter and leave

Last time I had a deep and ouchy cyst (on the top part of my boob 👎) I lured it out over the course of 2 days with hydrocolloid patches (like, the acne dot kind) and was never more thankful for cosmetic tech advances. A swift and tidy end to my suffering. Hopefully you can prep for surgery soon

Judges back to acting like JUDGES at last

Giving them the avenue to just give up and run with their tails between their legs was key to victory

A text message conversation. It starts with “I decided to watch Titanic. I hope the boat makes it. Fingers crossed” and devolves from there (bad news the boat didn’t make it)

Evening text message shitposting with friends

You’ll have at least 1% understanding by the end of the game just from the benefit of subs ;)

English borrowed a truly staggering number of French words and faux amis words aren’t crazily common so you can usually trust your ears.

If I could retire tomorrow I would not run out of enjoyable things to do before dying of old age, and I’m only 40.

Workaholics are a model in what not to do: they finally (try to) retire and then realize they have no hobbies because all they did for decades was work and sleep. Keep up the hobbies.
