I kinda miss the old days when we just didn’t know about the evil shit companies were doing with our money.

There must be a law that every tow truck in America shall contain one of those disgusting “black ice” air fresheners.

Damn.

Last year's thread on how to deal with The Hot for inexperienced Northern drizzly people.

One time my wife’s grandma sent us a card with a newspaper clipping about an owl being spotted somewhere. She wrote on the outside of the envelope: OWL NEWS ENCLOSED. Ever since, “owl news enclosed” has been one of our favorite phrases.

Can't filter small crustaceans out of the water using your baleen? Krill issue.

"Madam, are you aware that your coiffure is a cat?" "I have no idea what you're talking about. Please go away."

Thinking back, one of the minor miracles of my life was that when I was 17, we moved to an apartment that was a five minute walk from the movie theatre. And, despite this being a tiny theatre in a tiny small town in rural VA, the guy who owned it was a true movie lover who played lots of indie....

I want to write a novel because I am plagued by visions, but your thing is valid too I guess.

Some of the people who responded to this don't seem to know what writing actually entails or what the words "novel" and "story" actually mean.

There's nothing like the satisfaction of a job adequately-done.

I've mentioned this before, but I'm a sucker for the "traveler gets caught in a storm and has to take shelter in an abandoned house" trope.

For whatever reason, when I talk about music on here, I mostly talk about metal, hardcore and post-punk. Those are probably my favorites, but as previously mentioned, I grew up on Hip Hop. I also love blues, jazz and classical. And I have a deep and abiding love for bluegrass/folk.

Rest easy, Rob Base 🕊💙🙏🏾 I'll forever love this flowchart

I don't really talk much about it, but early Hip Hop was a huge part of my childhood (via my older brother) and while a lot of it seems corny in retrospect I think this song is still a lot of fun. RIP Rob Base. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5Ho...

Me IRL.

My dad bought a house and put 3 kids through college working at a gnome-run tin mine. He was the big chained up human that turned the wheel to lower the workers down the mineshaft

This is clearly a very posh English lady reincarnated as a dog.

I was in a restroom a couple weeks ago and a guy came in talking to a woman on *speaker phone.* Speaker. Phone. People have lost their damn minds.

What is going on with the postal service these days? Today I received two prescription refills that I ordered almost three weeks ago, gave up on and already obtained replacements for. Checked the tracking info and they had taken a detour from Portland (90 miles away) to Arkansas on their way to me.

I don't understand how, but spinach is immune to the Law of Conservation of Mass. Somehow you can take a pickup truck load of spinach, cook it and it reduces down to approximately a teaspoon.

If you are of A Certain Age, this image will cause you instant anxiety.

It might not be my absolute favorite album title ever, but "We Sing of Only Blood or Love" (by Dax Riggs) is definitely top ten.

I don't know what I clicked, but this is what happens when you suddenly zoom way too far out on google maps.

Whenever I see grown-ass men being assholes on social media I think back to when I was a kid and my dad was in his 40s and how humiliated I would have been if he had spent his free time on Instagram calling people slurs and posting poop emojis and creeping on 20 year olds.

If I came across this in the wild, I would absolutely 100% die trying to snuggle with them.

I aspire to David Letterman's sheer lack of fucks given.

The “cilantro tastes like soap” gene affects 3% of the population, but those people apparently spend all day searching for references to cilantro online so they can tell people they have it. We need to start shunning these people like the freaks that they are.

I would never live in a city, but I like visiting some of them. I’d say I’ve felt pretty much at home in Portland from the first time I visited. I’m fascinated by L.A., especially its history, even though I’ve only been there less than a dozen times in my life, and haven’t spent much time there.
