Me: Fuck, the paper towels I want are on the top shelf.

speaking of Rose Oldest Sibling Landry I know the groupchat goes nuts when she breaks up with Shane. all three brothers texting WHAT HAVE YOU DONE experiencing every stage of grief at once. They almost had The Shane Hollander at Christmas dinner and she ruined it over the petty detail of him being unattracted to her entire gender?? Get out of the WAY, ROSE, IF YOU WON’T DO IT I WILL.

The problem isn't the penicillin

I have a question:

Mold has invisible root networks throughout the porous material of the bread. Also, the spores get airborne so it's likely that it has spread through the rest of the bread.

“For example, if you’re trying to convince people to boycott a segregated store, your object is to convince them that boycotting the store will have a strategic effect, not that desegregation is morally important. For whatever reason, on a cognitive level human beings have a really hard time with this. Smucker cites an example of a Lefty roleplaying session where people were tasked with selling an action to people who agreed with them on principle but didn’t see the strategic merit of the action. Surprisingly, the sellers couldn’t make the conceptual switch to sell strategic merit: instead, they doubled down on THIS ISSUE IS IMPORTANT — even though it had been stressed to them that the people they were selling to bought into the importance of the issue. People react poorly to “this is important, so do WHATEVER I SAY”; they want to be convinced that what you’re proposing will work.”

Also from above:

Somewhat related, my favorite comic strip of all time:

I am a fan of the dynamic where there's no leak and Shane moves to the Cens of his own accord and then Shane and Ilya never come out exactly but they just live openly and all these dumbass hockey players are just like

blue sunset on Mars is a real phenomenon caused by the way Martian dust scatters sunlight.

If not the fic in question, it’s similar: Sith Lord Swell

According to Andy Weir's Eridian biology document, Eridians are better multitaskers than humans will ever be, but the trade off is they're physically incapable of locking in. SO funny to me. Yes this species can build a diorama while simultaneously blitzing through mathematics equations and also partaking in intense gossiping, but they cannot do any of those things for longer than, like, half an hour without going crazy. Species of supercomputers cursed with the TikTok attention span.
