it's actually ok to be a little late for work if your cat needs extra snuggle time and belly rubs before you get out of bed. they can't punish you. there was a supreme court ruling in 1948. know your rights.

Well, I wish they didn't set mirrors behind the bar 'Cause I can't stand to look at my face When I don't know where you are And then the feeling fades away But you sort of wish it would've stayed Inside the golden days of missing you

I don't want a job I want to be forced into exile due to my pamphlets drawing the scrutiny of the authorities. oh shit I have to flee to a European capital where I'll be financially supported by a sympathetic aristocrat? damn you really got me. yeah I feel super punished. good one guys.

question about nutrition: sometimes when I load my dishwasher I notice that it's all spoons and no forks or vice versa. should I be trying to eat a balance of fork food and spoon food every day? or is it ok if it balances out over a week, with some days being heavier on one or the other?

gen z is the most puritanical generation since the folks that made prohibition happen but it's not really their fault. the kids who are being born right now are gonna reinvent partying by studying history like those guys in France who are building a whole castle using only medieval technology.

huge win for the conservative wing of the wisconsin democratic party and their inspiring message of "now is not the time for new ideas." exit polls showed that voters believe david crowley is a worthy heir to tony evers' legacy of being ok I guess and not actively making things worse.

There's a great book about the history of people trying to discover Stradivari's "secret" to making a great violin. X-rays, chemical analysis, DNA sequencing of the wood etc. Eventually they find an old violin maker in Stradivari's hometown who claims to know the secret...

making a lil attempt to quit smoking again. using the nicotine lozenges, which put more nicotine than I'm used to into my body, which makes me feel insane, BUT, it's not being delivered to my body in the way I'm used to, so it still feels like withdrawal, which makes me feel a second kind of insane.

putting this on this website

THERE SHOULD BE A GUY, by Max Lavergne. There should be a guy who every morning rides his bicycle down to the main street and sets up a small glass case of beautiful cakes he has made. He should sell the cakes at a reasonable price to whoever comes. The cakes should be both beautiful and inspiring. They should be sumptuously iced and decorated with fruits and sugared flowers which are not only lovely to behold but genuinely delicious. He should sit on a low half wall and read a newspaper folded into quarters until the cakes are all sold. As soon as the last one is sold he should tie the glass case to the back of his bike and cycle to the market to buy fresh eggs and flour, chocolate, fruit, all the things he needs to make cakes for tomorrow. And then he should ride his bicycle home, where he should kiss the top of the low door frame leading into his widower's cottage because it will always remind him of her. And then he makes the cakes for the next day. Now that's what should happen. It should be happening already, in towns all over the country. Hell, all over the world. If it's not then fuck it. Let the bombs fall. Let them turn the beaches to glass. Return us to hunter gatherers, cowering in caves. Miserable dirty people dying of cold when it rains for too long. Let us slowly work our way back up if we can't get even that part right when it should be so obvious. See if the next crop are smarter. And if they aren't then try again. As long as it takes. Let our distant descendents hide in the shadows of the brick walls we built. I don't think that's too extreme.

Queen is one of the best bands to ever do it but they have so many songs that I've heard more than enough times by now. I hear Bohemian Rhapsody 3 times a week despite not having put it on on purpose since 1997. Why are you playing We Will Rock You on touchtunes dude. How are you not sick of it yet.

I've started working out for the first time in my life and the nutrition guidance that goes with that is insane. A gram of protein per pound of goal body weight? The only way for me to get 220g of protein a day is either eat nothing but protein powder or double my calorie intake and grocery budget.

there's a bar here in Madison which for decades now has shown porn on all their tvs during breakfast hours. this guy shared some serious opinions on a reddit thread about the most overrated local restaurants.

Drinkslinger1444

Bennett's Smut & Eggs. They changed up the 70s porn to 90s porn a few years ago without asking any of the regulars. They no longer take requests, and you can't bring in your own porn. They started being dicks about taking drinks outside. Bartenders seemed judgmental, and they have complicated rules on shake of the day. Also, they give off a whole "I'm better than you" vibe, which they're not and I tell them as much. Ever since they put the front door back on the men's room, they think they're classy.

the fucking boomers got up early today to come into my work and be like "it's 22.37? ok I'll just dig in my wallet for 10 minutes and give you 38.46 which in my mind makes things less complicated and not more and also I'll act like I'm doing you a favor and making your job easier somehow"

if you don’t live in a temperate climate you might not know that during heavy snowstorms the snow particles can reflect light and fill even the darkness of night with an eerie luminance some old-timers still refer to as the Shovelman’s Gloaming
