In King Ludwig II’s defense, if I had basically infinite discretionary funds, was accountable to absolutely no one, and was king of a country full of picturesque landscapes, you couldn’t stop me from building myself a big gay fairytale castle on a mountaintop either.

This post is spreading and I feel bad about it because it contains misinformation, so for the record: Ludwig II did not in fact have infinite discretionary funds. He only acted as if he did. He never dipped into the public coffers for his building projects, but he spent his own fortune extravagantly and borrowed heavily from everyone he could think of. By 1885, the year before his death, he was 14 million marks in debt.

I always find this inspiring because try to name another prince of a German state. What did the rulers of Hamberg do? The Grand Duchy of Hesse? Gone with the wind, no one knows them anymore. But Mad Lad Ludwig built a top 5 most famous castle in the entire world. Money is fake, castles are real. Go broke and die like a winner.

Meanwhile die Deutsche Bahn: Wegen eines plötzlichen, unerwarteten Wintereinbruchs im Winter kommt es zu erwarteten Verzögerungen im Fahrplanablauf. Bitte beachten Sie dazu auch, die Aushänge an den Bahnsteigen, da die Anzeigetafeln eingefroren sind. Morgen und übermorgen wird es ebenfalls zu erwarteten unerwarteten Verspätungen kommen. Vielen Dank, dass wir Ihre Reise so unangenehm wie möglich machen dürfen.

oh no i just want to play my stupid games no stupid prizes for me thanks

Thanks, OP. 

also your body doesn’t necessarily work on a daily cycle, it’s not so neat as to understand linear time and how we choose to divide it. You don’t have to try and find perfect balance every single day, sometimes you will go three or four days eating less or eating more. Sometimes you will crave fats or salts or sugars or greens for a few days at a time before your body will decide it’s gathered enough resources in one particular department. The balance is achieved over time and in uneven tides, and that’s good and fine.

Original post has been going around for years now but this fairly recent addition is a really good one I needed to be reminded of too. We don’t just reset to 0 every night.

OK but I do genuinely believe we need to push for something like this before it's too late - and not just in digital spaces. We should have the right to peace and quiet from advertising. There should be more limits on how much and where we get advertising because otherwise it'll just become a creep of more and more until every fucking public space is lit with several billboards blasting us with ads, and the walls between spaces lined with ads, and our commutes filled with ads, and local parks sponsored by corporations to offset the cost of local councils, and so on and on and on and on. No. I need quiet. I need spaces where ads cannot touch me.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this (I have special sensitivities and powers) but it's kind of warm out.

so called "free thinkers" when there's a bug on the ceiling

a friend of mine has a decently sized personal bar and one night he realized that a lot of his bottles and mixers were close to empty, not enough to make any given drink with, so he mixed them all together and it looked like the dirty water from those big floor scrubber machines. Dark purpley brown and thick and he decided it was the Floor Scrubber cocktail and actually drank it. It apparently tasted very bland.

you dont have to be a parent to understand the horror of walking into a room to discover that the baby crawled out of his crib and onto that pottery wheel you forgot to turn off, and while the baby is spinning around and around, the dog is sitting there all calm, like a person, gently using his paws to fashion the babys soft cartilage head into something a little more modern.  it might be the classic tale of bad parenting, but lets see where the dog is going with this
