I accidentally ordered 3x the wings we typically sell in a week
I am in the possession of 5200 pounds of chicken wings
In one week, I have to throw away everything I don't sell
I am open to all ideas on how to move these things
I got a nail in my tire. I went to Honda last minute. I haven’t had expensive work done there. They said it would cost $30 and it would take 30 minutes to fix. It took 40 minutes. They apologized profusely for the wait and said the fix was free to ‘make it right’. Amazing
I lost my 20s to running on the beach, reading books, writing, partying with friends, and dining at restaurants with beautiful women
I'll never get that time back, it's gone now
What the fuck
I was today years old when I learned that your peripheral vision doesn't perceive color
Your color-sensing cones are bunched up to perceive the center of your vision
An employee today told me that "I don't think you'd understand, because you're white"
and without pause I replied "You think I'm white?"
She started blushing and began apologizing profusely (I am white)
Video Game Industry: $221 Billion
Movie Industry: $77 Billion
Music Industry: $26.2 Billion
You could combine the revenue of the movie industry and the music industry, double it, and you'd still be shy of the gaming industry
Yeah, we play video games
Why’s it always seem like the people that get burnt out are sitting in an office working maybe 5 actual hours, and the people that are on their feet doing real work 8+ hours a day never do?
I should also mention that whenever I've had work that took a while they offer to shuttle me home for free and pick me up, they have a really nice waiting area, complementary coffee and snacks, face masks, and one employee even lent me their iphone charger.
when reading anything Kafkaesque, it's important to remember that, while writing, Kafka would laugh so hard that it would disturb his neighbors, and while reading his work aloud he was known to laugh uncontrollably
My friend just found out from her wedding planner that her wedding is off because her fiancé doesn’t want to get married anymore
They were going to get married September 16th
when I was 13 i went to a birthday party. the birthday boy’s the mom had separate events for the boys and the girls, and one of the events had everyone write down who they liked most at the party and if both people chose eachother she let them know
during Extreme Awkwardness last night we did an activity where we went around the circle and pointed to the person we “most wanted to end up in bed with by the end of today”
Many are asking how to best spend your 20s:
-Income and productivity maxx
-Only read biographies of great leaders
-Tweet for clout
-Spend all your time working
-Ignore women, they like that
-Amphetamine prescription
-Burn the fuel of youth, grind grind grind
Is this reasonable?
My friend just admitted to me that she's in a fight with her husband because when she came back from a trip, his ejaculate was significantly below normal volume
Now, she doesn't think he cheated on her. No, she's just mad that he masturbated a lot.
being in a relationship is amazing
sex is amazing
being loving and loved is absolutely the shit
Yet, doing whatever you want whenever you want without consideration of anyone while living alone is a blissful freedom
it's not altogether healthy, but damn is it rad
Her: *jokingly* Am I the most beautiful girl in the world? 🥺
Me: I feel more present with you than anyone else, I feel a deep connection to you, and you’re absolutely the most existentially beautiful woman in the world to me
Her: Yeah but in a superficial way too right
it totally sucks and there’s no simple solution for how important sexual compatibility is in a relationship and how much investment it takes to figure out if you have it
this suggests to me that people are going to be able to make AI videos that trigger people in deep and unsettling ways
and it also makes something like the 'Infinite Jest' seem more possible
Do you know how many times it's been expected of me to congratulate my friends for getting married or having a baby? Pure chance and luck.
I did this. With sheer willpower. Not 1 of them has said well done. No acknowledged effort. Power to everyone who doesn't conform.

one gender gulf i think about a lot is how women cannot know the depths that male shape rotation can reach. We can imagine spherical cows spinning at 900 RPM. We can turn the mona lisa into a torus. We can rotate taylor swift into a balloon animals using only our mind
The issue with philosophy is sometimes it will improve your life and other times it will just make you skilled at defending an increasingly inscrutable worldview
There is an implicit code between friends that you don't hit on or in any way communicate that you would want to sleep with their gf/spouse/partner
Asking "are you poly?" heavily implies sexual interest
What book were you the most surprised to have enjoyed?
For me it was ‘Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintenance’. I thought it was undergrad bait but it turned out to be very well laid out and surprisingly compelling
If this isn't crazy enough, you have almost no rods at the center of your vision, only cones
This is why you struggle to see a dim star when you look directly at it, and why the center of your vision can seem obfuscated in low light
Her: Do you think higher beings communicate with us?
Me: Rarely ever with me, but I'm sure they communicate with you often
Her: Oh? 😇What makes you think that?
Me: Well you're 5'3"
How is it possible that all these long-term cellphone contract agreements are $75-$100 a month
And yet prepaid is like $25-50 a month unlimited data
how does this make sense
Not only that, but certain color sensing cones are spread wider than others, so that if you have something multicolor coming in from your peripheral vision, you will first perceive the blue first, and then the yellow, and then the red and green
I have hinted this on here, but I'll be especially clear
I know all of my mutuals and followers are thinkers. Probably programmers, data science people, perhaps in finance or sitting in offices of some sort
I am not. I am a day laborer. I pick things up and put them down
