is that in canberra?? need to keep the finger on the pulse of caberraoke, venues keep disappearing

it’s Guy Ritchie’s second time adapting it after the Robert Downey one

the purpose of a rube goldberg machine is what it does eventually

when i stop singing at the office they know the carbon monoxide levels are too high

feels weird to be humble. seems like maybe one should get some sort of award for it.

i’m too circumspect to participate in a lot of nerd culture. like no guys they’ll still realise that’s weird, get more specific so it codes bookish

who up pondering they pepper

they absolutely do

i know a couple who named their kids after where they were conceived but they stopped at the third kid because they didn't want to name her "Destruction Derby"

the contracts do seem like a good self-contained avenue in if you need ideas that don’t feel like such a big commitment up front

and like the sins of a village are often visited on it by the demons it faces, the social dimension rings so true for me, it’s so good

I guess the core dynamic is that Geralt is a world-wise cynic who feels a deep responsibility to people, maybe dip a toe in if that resonates, like it’s dark but life affirming

I adored the Witcher 3, great narrative depth while not feeling like a railcart, I’d look forward to side missions (Witcher contracts) for the story alone

if there’s a delicate little voiceless alveolar plosive at the end of a line, you might be listening to a paul simon song

say what you like about paul simon he’s always been good at enunciating t’s

when Nico sings “please don’t confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them” she’s referring to her enormous sons

do you know double the nickels on the dime by minutemen?? it’s very that energy

maybe wreck can connote, introducing entertaining low-impact hijinks

lots of soundtracks with people i like doing songs i like these days. rainy days and mondays by aimee mann. 2000 miles by sharon van etten. things of that nature. good job soundtracks

I think a lot about this ad I saw in an IMAX theater. Google spent so much money on developing an ad where the premise is “you can use AI to write a mean break up letter about falling in love with someone else.” This is who their target audience is! This is their best idea for how to use their AI

has anyone else noticed that food tasted better in the past? it was mushy and easy to eat. and the spoon would come at you like an airplane

Your hands are covered in little men. And the little men can make you sick if you don’t give them a bath. Sometimes they make other people sick too. Please give the little men a bath! I’m not crazy! Just listen to me! Bathe the little men on your hands! This is real! Get the men wet, you fools!

anyway no-one care about this spiel probably, but i’m right ☺️☹️

retaliation or resentment is certainly not a boundary, though both might point towards a boundary you should have set for yourself so that you didn’t have to reach that point.

which is not to say they’re not relevant in relational contexts, but a boundary definitionally can’t reach out of you and dictate someone else’s behaviour, whereas it might be a behaviour you commit yourself to to ameliorate interpersonal lack of consideration etc.

use it like “if my partner doesn’t buy me jaffa cakes every tuesday then i get to murder their goldfish without remorse, this is emotionally mature for some reason”

in the annals of therapy terms corrupted by exposure to the internet boundaries has got to be one of the worst. it’s meant to be a self-agreement enshrining self-knowledge like “i won’t push myself past my limit because I know I’ll have to spend days recuperating” and people

oh dear
