Also I have noticed that when ice cream sales go up, deaths from swimming pools also goes up. Every time, it’s an undeniable FACT. I think what we should be focussing on here is how ice cream is drowning our people!

My boss talks a lot like Drake and idolizes him- he likes writing inspiring quotes about life and success and updates his LinkedIn with articles on ‘keeping in touch with your true self’ and self esteem and making aspirations reality...that are, yes, ghostwritten by a coworker.

My boyfriend is into watching machining and other garage/ tech/ fix it youtubes. There is one channel that i suspect definitely also appeals to those who get turned out by things like the above video - a hydraulic press squishes various items. The creator of the channel does a whole bunch of stuff but really all i can…

Your story reminds me of this nice older man who supplied my workplace with large format printer paper. This guy would come in every time, super cheerful, talking about his new grandkid, asking how you were, if you got that big presentation done - the 10 minutes of interaction with the guy was a highlight of the week…

It’s amazing to me that Dominic West is from British upper crust, who went to Eton for god sakes and is married to an aristocrat (i don’t exactly know what that means besides ‘fancy and rich). But he played McNulty *perfectly*. Like.....how??? I know it’s called acting but i still cannot quite believe it.

Here in Ontario, Canada our government owned liquor stores (private stores selling liquor are not legal here, just the LCBO) are kept open because the health minister said, in effect, ‘There are a number of people who rely on the LCBO and closing it would cause a bigger strain on the healthcare system.’

This reminds me of when i was i highschool i would leave home at 620am for band practice - a few of the city bus drivers would wait at the stop for me (since no one else was really around at that time) because i would always come running late. In return I would and often saw other people pick up coffee near some of…

I saw the stand up special too (i didnt know much about his brand of humor) and i feel like he’s someone that could be really, really good if he wasn’t so sitting-at-home-playing-video-games-stoned or put more effort into his jokes. A lot of the jokes felt like they were starters of something he could refine more or…

Exactly - my mother would kill anyone who didn’t take their shoes off at the door. You go to a house party, there will be a massive shoe pile at the front door, always even if you’re dressed up for a special occasion, no shoes inside in Canada, you go barefoot/stockings. I lived in the UK for awhile, where people keep…

I worked as a cook in a kitchen years ago and we had to throw out a 20lb bag of mussels that had gone bad. I told the dishwasher to double bag the garbage to throw them in the dumpster but unknown to me, he didn’t. So we both heaved the bag up over our heads to throw the mussels out and the bag ripped and my arms went…

I really miss the blog ‘Literal New Yorker Cartoons’

Something about ‘injecting his penis with erectile medication’ made this so much worse.

I live in a Portugeuse neighbourhood so these are cheap and plentiful enough so that there’s no way i could make these cheaper and tastier than the bakeries do, though i will say whenever i bring the custard tarts to a gathering/party, *everyone* goes nuts over them, people everywhere really love these things! I used…

I lived in the UK for awhile 6 years ago and i *still* crave Gregg’s Mexican Chicken Baguette. It’s like they read my mind what i need in a good, cheap quick grab sandwich. Ate like 3 a week.

I work as a design director in home decor - love this and can add more:

I keep thinking - is Gwart going to be for Silicon Valley what Milton was for Office Space?

I am glad this is anonymous because my weird habit is i don’t often brush my teeth but i will scrape at them thoroughly(privately) with my fingernail or a toothpick or whatever i have lying around. I’ve been doing this for over 20 years, since i was 17. I am fortunate that i have naturally good teeth - i didn’t get a…

My boyfriend has a similar problem with ‘flavour profile’ (on cooking shows) and i hate the use of ‘curate’ (outside of an art show). I also agree that the term ‘journey’ is completely overused to the point of losing all meaning. How is this descriptive of the same thing referencing both travelling through Laos as…

Thanks! Just keep plugging at it a bit by bit, every little thing counts :)

It’s like a noose around your neck when you’re paying off that kind of student loan money - i’ve been through an identical situation.
