This but ALSO "we have burgers at home" but for people who can cook. The only things I ever want to eat out for any more are a) local joint, especially if it's a cuisine I am unfamiliar with 2) pizza and 3) deep fried things.
Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.
All the wrong people have imposter syndrome.
That's actually one of the things I enjoyed about Starfleet Academy - pretty much everyone got a them-focused ep.
You know, I deeply disliked most of the crap I was forced to read in AP English (was the 90s, heavy on the old-white-dude-written Bechdel test failures), but Their Eyes Were Watching God *slapped*.
Steel worker to one side, coal miner on the other. If they ever need someone to play Pittsburgh in a movie, I'm ya girl.
Convince me watch a new thing in one sentence, why don't you?
I think about this all the time.
they renamed it the Department of War so it would be that much easier to just add “Crimes” at the end of it
if you advertise your product with "NO AI. NONE. NEVER." i would buy it immediately, even if was like expired candy bars
this has ruined my whole entire life.
ooh, then I could have one for each shoulder.
a lot of people care about dumb stuff that doesn’t matter and it ruins them. they could instead look at flowers or watch birds or do cocaine

Why are you so petrified of silence?
Here, can you handle this?
(long pause)
Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die?
Or did you long for the next distraction?
Alanis Morissette, All I Really Want
like snickers guaranteed to satisfy
And he should be played by George Clooney.
me, at 7:42pm on Sunday, chatting in the kitchen with the other eff football ppl, waiting impatiently for the bad bunny concert: wait, who's playing anyway?
all the invested ppl, rushing in from the room with the big TV: 🤨
you are not alone lol
I was at the crosswalk and saw the crossing guard standing in the middle of traffic cones eating (basically cinnamon toast but with sprinkles instead of cinnamon, I think?) and cotton candy under string lights. ?
my fave example of this is when someone is like "but who watches the watchman?" (Vetinari maybe?) and he *immediately* replies something like "me, all the time, even when I'm sleeping" 🤌
I don't mind a legit "I hate this" but the way so many people follow it up with an actual or implied "and therefore you should too" slash "and you suck for liking it" is a thing that drives me completely insane.
So a bonus of being A Lifelong Reader is the affect/effect, who/that, lay/lie situations of the language are hardwired in. Easy. But the flip side is I, a mid-40s mostly articulate human, sometimes mispronounce a word so egregiously I want to retire from humanity.
whoever came up with swicy: right to jail, right away, jail for one thousand years

Occasionally a post makes me think "this site has the juice" and this was today's.
OK so there's this scene in Notting Hill where High Grant says whoopsie daisy and Julia Roberts laughs at him and says no one's said that for 50 years and even then it was just little girls. Basically that, except nebshit & Pittsburgh grandmas. (if it's not clear, I am delighted)
ugh why is everybody calling my masked armed death squads who kidnap kindergartners the gestapo
The first thing I say at a new studio is "you have wrapping options other than second skin, yeah?" I've never yet had to leave, but I would.
