Exit the wallfower. Enter the dragon.

Much like Edison fucked over Tesla in a successful attempt to get all the money and influence from the new industry.

sure, i'll drink the pink swirly potion that released a little heart shaped cloud when you uncorked it. what's the worst that could happen

don’t be scared to live lovingly. compliment your friends on the little things and cheer for live bands in small cafes and leave tips when you can. tell the person you saw that you really like their shirt and write cards and letters to the people you love. make playlists for people and don’t be afraid to express your appreciation for others. life is so much better when you live it with love.

knitting/chrocheting while hanging out with friends is so funny like everyone shut up for a few minutes i have to count to 115. twice

We are so trained to look back on our younger selves and be like god I was so cringe for that 1 meanwhile it was you acting like a child as a child

I mean I know a certain level of projection on fictional characters and situations is inevitable and even healthy, but sometimes you got to step back into the real world to remind yourself that Character X is not your shitty parent/abusive ex/asshole boss/bully from high school, and that people who like Character X are not personally victimizing you.

to reiterate my point more clearly: suspension of disbelief and understanding conventions of storytelling is critical analysis while nitpicking like you're cinemasins is just annoying

one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.

A better headline would be: "Less than half of people actively invested in crypto would prefer part of their paycheck be in crypto."

This. Please remember that he committed blatant market manipulation by not disclosing that he owned shares of Twitter when he was fucking with the stock market. The SEC was watching him very closely already, and so when the cost became more than what the entire company was worth, he had no choice. Remember when he had his gaggle of lawyers try to get him out of it by saying Twitter didn't disclose all of the information? That wasn't Twitter, it was him trying desperately to get out of a purchase he didn't want in the first place.

Being a fan of The Chosen is, from a certain secular point of view, a little bit unhinged. The book has been out for 2000 years. The main character and several of the (male) supporting lead characters are going to die painful deaths either during the story or in the epilogue. The people they leave behind are going to suffer. This is based on the history of a religious movement that attracted persecution and created martyrs. You, the viewer, already know about the tragedy that is coming for all of your faves and yet you signed up for it anyway. Absolutely bonkers.
