Sorry I can't go out tonight I'm currently trying to figure out how to use my transparent pink ruler that I bought at Borders Books in 2006 that has the first 0 tick a centimeter from the edge and not on the edge.
New Girl

Winston: You know, I've never told anyone this, but um...I don't know how to read a ruler. I don't. I mean how do you start? At the edge, or the first tick? It's confusing to me.

RE: women don't have car keys anymore I got a 4 pack of pepper spray at costco for $10 now go forth and hook pepperspray on every thing you take out of the house with you (not that it will change anything, except up your confidence)

The prophecy has been fulfilled. But not before I saw a new line of mini totes that I can't stop thinking out.

The temperature reading on my car ranged from 98-103 on the way home this morning. 74 is normally the high during the first week of October. People who refuse to believe in climate change or refuse to fix climate charge are causing climate change and making climate change exponentially worse.

You, stop, don't buy that $120 shirt. Close the app now. You can consider buying tomorrow. Don't buy it now.

Buying myself a rock tumbler. Because when society breaks down, there's no more cash, water, or gold to trade, currency will be polished rocks.

how much money is an acceptable amount of money to spend on halloween costume when you aren't going to a party, aren't trick-or-treating or answering the door during trick-or-treating, aren't wearing a costume to work/school, or not entering a costume contest of any kind?

How dare you accuse me of telling my boss I'm too busy with a new project to attend meetings I shouldn't be at so that I can spend the afternoon destressing and watching traitors?

I spent 7 hours at 10 stores and $290 on groceries this weekend for very specific recipes (+ panic buying dry, canned, and paper goods), and instead eating any of those groceries, I'm eating boxed mac and cheese that expired in 2024 for dinner

There should be a third Addams Family movie in the vein of the 1990s movies. Wednesday is its own genre, entirely differnt from the comedy of the movies. We deserve a third Addams Family movie where another normal marries into the family and is beyond happy.

“Young adults consider ordinary conflict to be much worse than it once was..." Everyone I know who cut off their parents - their parents did two out of four of the following: physically abused them, stole from them, emotionally abused them, committed a crime and lied when confronted with evidence.

Everyone at work is behaving the world is going to end, so there's no reason to do their jobs and no consequences for doing a shitty job. Makes it way worse when I have to clean up their messes because the world hasn't ended yet, but their jobs are on the line when budgets are being slashed.

It takes being a room with 55 of your coworkers to realize how little your coworkers care about anything, including doing a good job when hosting an event for, presenting to, and making requests of 55 of their coworkers.

Why is free pizza always absolutely disgusting? It takes so much extra effort to make terrible pizza, why bother putting in the extra effort? Just make it good so we want to pay money for it next time.

I've been exclusively buying Tillamook cheese for as long as I've lived on the west coast (it's harder to find mid-west and east) because it's the only reliably vegetarian cheese brand available. Kosher and Halal certs are bonuses, and assurance the cheese is still vegetarian.

Fun fact: 8oz of dried chickpeas makes 13oz of cooked chickpeas for half the price. And an overnight soak, 2-hour simmer, and peeling 13 oz of chickpeas will take years off your life.

Remember for those few years in the 90s, movie studios green lit modern remakes of classic literature at teen flicks. That fad ended, despiting making bank, but then for 30 years high schools around the country have forced us to sit through modern retellings of Romeo and Juliet?
