I dated a girl at BYU for like a fucking year where the one time I tried to tell her a movie was sad (Dead fucking Poet’s Society, btw) and she didn’t text me back for half a week because she thought that was so gross. And now I have friends who bought me like $75+ of post-surgery recovery goods, threw me a surprise party (where everyone wore matching pajamas), and made me cake all because I DMed three sessions of Pathfinder for them while stoned.

I tell my friends from back home that I love them when we end voice calls and they say it back with enthusiasm. I once said that, platonically, to a straight friend after my mission and he acted like I pissed in his glovebox after asparagus night.

I had randomly generated 2 words, which is where “mole interest” came from. I failed to consider that by generating a new tag, it wouldn’t have had enough posts already in it to prove what I now call “the mole interest effect”.

But now it does.

In 2023, we said “fuck it” a la mythbusters and ended up doing whatever it took to get #mole interest to trend. And it did. And it happened to be September 11th that day, and we managed to get #mole interest to trend ABOVE #9/11.

it’s still not trending! so far this could mean:

20k is not enough for one post to make a tag trend, but it could be possible with more notes

All the other trending tags have more activity in general at the moment, but the mole interest effect could work on a particularly slow day

Google universities/colleges near you.

If you can't get out to more than one, look up which one has the highest tuition.

Look-up when the graduation date is

Drive neighborhoods near the university the week before graduation

So much stuff gets left out on the curb. Wealthy college students tend to prioritize convenience over money, so instead of carefully reselling their perfectly good stuff, they frequently give it away or put it out with the trash because that's easier than moving, reselling, or donating. Take advantage of this.

I furnished pretty much my entire apartment from college giveaways and yardsales.

What I got for free:

Mattress and box springs

2 10 ft area rugs

The massive 9-drawer chest (that has a label on the back that it was custom-made and shipped across the country) that my TV sits on.

Two 13 x 2 ft raised garden beds

My desk - just sanded it down and refinished it.

Three short stools

An organizer rack

Watering can

Tommy Bahama outdoor cooler (retails for $350)

Chairs

Shelves

What I got for cheap:

Two futons for $50

Custom coffee table with storage for $25
