Intro to Logic. I didn’t want to take it because I always thought I was ~bad at math~
I did really well because it’s basically a language. I learned I’m not actually bad at math, I just never learned the basics.

Y’all this job search really has me rethinking everything. Am I really a bad bitch with a platinum face card who can sell a ketchup popsicle to a lady in white gloves? Well yes, but…

I'm Eowyn, complaining to the TSM that I can do frontline support because I wrote the help content and he's just like no sweety, go with the rest of the writers to the caves.

The people huddling in the caves are UX, Theoden is senior programmer, Aragorn is technical service manager, second line of wood elves are customer success trying to hide.

Why does the Helms Deep battle scene in The Two Towers remind me of work? The elves are sales, men of Rohan and Gondor are the dev and programmer teams, Gimli is the project manager, and the orcs are recently onboarded customers with technical issues.

Wait, you’re telling me that everyone in Belle’s town thought she was batshit because she read books but y’all were fine when she saw a literal monster man and said “I can fix him.”

Instead of reply guy can we call them birdwatchers on this app?

If you’re not avoiding your job search by scream-singing a shitty Luke Bryan song with the windows open after having to unbutton your pants because you ate too much ramen in front of your laptop in an empty restaurant, are you even a writer???

I don’t know if the young people even drive anymore but I’d gladly bequeath my cassette single of The Cult’s She Sells Sanctuary to anyone who wants to feel like Reese Witherspoon in the final scene of Cruel Intentions.

Follow it up with “why can’t they just print more money” and watch the world burn.

I don’t want to hear shit about it, either. These are my prime Titi years y’all, let me cook.

I feel like The Kids™️ are cherry picking the most random shit from my youth to revive. Like y’all sit there in all seriousness wearing cargo jorts but have never heard of Cocteau Twins?

RE: GOTY
Balatro (the most illustrious of its name) deserves all the accolades (we are just servants) and to glorify it (all is done in Jimbo’s name) will only bring more supplicants (we are not worthy golden joker) to the light (which shines upon thee for 10,000 hours and many holographic jokers)

I was from “which coney?” Now I’m in “fuckin Californians.”

WHICH CONEY??????

This tour group is fascinating - never in my life have I heard such creative incompetence and competitive whinging. Hotel showers seem to be a particular point of contention.

Also, I really should have come to Spain before I got married. The way these dudes have been creepin, I could have harpooned a whale.

I’m on a bus to Grenada with a bunch of boomers (don’t ask) and fell asleep. I just woke up in Alicante and legitimately thought I was back in Central Texas.
October 22, 2024 at 8:11 AM
Also, any confidence I may have had in my Spanish language skills is gone. I’ve been absolutely bodied by every server, cab driver, and shop assistant in this city. The indulgent, pitying smile they give me when I speak…gagged.

Then again, I have no room to talk as I came up with this classification system while sitting in the Prado, scribbling notes about Goya’s use of white in a Leuchtturm1917 notebook which makes me officially insufferable.

I love how in Madrid, every dude under 35 dresses like a league two soccer player on the brink of a weekend bender and every dude over 40 dresses like a mid-level director of an IT department whose stocks just vested.

One of the coldest lines in a song I’ve ever heard is “wanna know the rest, buy the rights.” OMC How Bizarre

Hey, anyone want to talk about how Paula Abdul’s “Cold Hearted Snake” video was directed by David Fincher as an homage to All That Jazz because they were both Fosse stans? I can only watch the light leave my husband’s eyes so many times a day…
