Y'all. I just discovered Chinese cold okra salad and I am feeling divine love for everything in the universe.

I've had that happen with a moving truck before and it is truly awful

☠️

I'm constantly floored by how casually and routinely people outside of this site use it for ~everything~. Directions, shopping advice, emails, searching, images, chat.

Who do I know/follow/whatever in Leeds who would like to meet for coffee or a pint??

Update?

Frankly, your comment is especially rich given that your own post about dark humour reveals that you are 100% familiar with learning things the hard way through shitty experiences, and so my originally expressed sentiment is part of your own lived experience.

I see you live in Texas, where I am from. So you'll know the saying "don't dish it if you can't take it." Worth remembering next time you decide to drop into a stranger's wall to comment with uncalled for snark that fails to conceal your own insecurities.

Scholarships are wonderful things

And some of us always had dark humour without having to get it from being in the military for 14 years

Lmao

Lmaoooo

Rude

"our company uses bold strategy to build creative approaches to leverage relationships so we can make a better world."

Shut all the way up. Please. Just shhhhhhh. You don't do anything except convince people to give you donations.

I can't tell if this is a consequence of me being sharper at spotting narrative construction or narrative construction entering a production bubble that makes it flabbily tryhard, with writers simply dispensing with tying claims to anything tangible. All adjective and verbs, no nouns.

The worst part of getting a PhD is I can no longer take 85% of job advertisements seriously. They are fantasy narratives designed to hide the fact that the company does nothing, existing solely for the purpose of moving revenue from one place to another by offering promises and not products.

Wait, what do these two things have to do with each other?

Like I just don't think anyone from this place who thinks putting widely beloved mascots on banknotes is the most outrageous, partisan thing the people of this land can dream up should be taken seriously in any way.

They should be careful what they speak into existence; I can almost guarantee you that the island that brought you Boaty McBoatface and Hottentot Venus would gladly vote for "beaver" notes.

Istg these people are the biggest babies on the planet

Everything about this looks terrible

I did change my (much more feminine) middle name to the Greek masculine version, which gave my mom a little pleasure I think

These days I'd say they follow Musk to Mars to lose IQ bars

Yay!!

I liked the name I already had so I just....kept it.

Here's a pro-tip when you do: If you find yourself getting anxious, clingy, fawning, angry, defensive, dismissive, or combative about being stupider than other people in the room, you are doing the soul searching wrong!
