Mom?

Dad?

Norway?

Imagine a world where we simply had never made him re-famous.

3million used to be the “fuck you” money estimate, but it’s probably more like 12 now, so, 12million dollars.

Bose used to make the best wired buds, they had a little extension that went into your ear to keep them in place. I went through like 6 sets over time before the phones stopped putting ports in.

This and temporary poverty is why so many young people I see walking around with wired earbuds (Norway).

My parents used to (probably still do) call black people “the element”.

Like, “this was a safe neighborhood until the element moved in.”

R/knitting was really nice on Reddit before the migration a couple years ago. Idk how it is now. But it was always so supportive and encouraging.

Dead Like Me deserved better than it got.

My husband and I have had a running «game» for like 25 years now. Basically anytime I’m able to catch an item he’s thrown or he’s successfully caught something I’ve (badly) thrown, he’ll say «the game continues». Things like, «toss me those keys» kind of things. There are no points and we aren’t keeping track, but aware I guess? when it’s been a streak of more that twice in a row.

Remember when you could go to a bowling alley or a skating rink and feel like (or know for sure) that you could absolutely buy drugs there? Or maybe just find some in the carpet?

In Norway, a plain cheese pizza is regularly between $16-20. that’s for kebab pizza, too so it’s not much better than frozen, imo

Yeah the applebeees-tier really has a lot of fuckin nerve these days. Especially since it’s not like they’re paying their waitstaff much (or any?) more than they did in the late 90s.

Have you ever tried not to have a mental illness? It’s kind of the same deal. Addiction is an illness, not a failure of willpower. Resentment is understandable I guess, it truly is fatiguing to try and help someone who isn’t ready. But I really don’t think “it’s a chosen path”.

I did kind of the same thing but just a new Acura. I did love the car, but toward the end of the lease it felt like I was renting an AirBnB, making sure nothing fucked it up right at the end and making sure I kept it under the mileage agreement.

To specifically your point about geysers… I mean I do get it, kind of. We only feel like we need a recording of it because it’s now. If you’d gone 70 years ago you could literally just see it, know you saw it, know it was awesome and cherish the memory. But now we’ve been conditioned to require proof. For ourselves or social media, the outcome is the same. I travel a moderate amount and have seen amazing things. I have a small number of pictures from each trip because I just want to experience the feeling of it. That being said, it is nice to get a photos notie of a past trip and take the memory lane journey. But it never ruins my day when they don’t show up. Ya know?

My thoughts would overwhelm the silence, and well, we can’t have that.

He can also get you pretty drunk if you take a drink every time he says “a worker”.
