The town bit is so uncannily spot, Christ

I’m trying to break my long habit of lurking, I’d like to see the platform grow so I help where I can

Don’t know where in world you are; I’m USA but my state actually likes funding public libraries. Sorry to hear yours are lacking like that, man : /

I’m just old enough to clearly remember pre-internet life and library use, so the coolest thing my library has in my opinion is the huge catalogue of books available at my fingertips through their app. No physical item to worry about means no risk of late fees either, it just returns itself if I don’t before the rental is up.

There are, like, household tools and stuff available as well as a good catalogue of movies on disc. I avail myself of those now and again, but I constantly have a book or two borrowed. That’ll always be my favorite thing my library has.

A band beanie, yesterday. I wear such a hat almost every day

but if they aren’t working for you, pay someone else

My realtor was never on time to a single showing. He never knew the answer to any question without taking time to look it up himself. He couldn’t remember my specifications and his reading comprehension was non-existent as I had to repeat myself many, many times to get any kind of point across.

If I hadn’t gotten my house when I did, I would have dropped him. If I were any other kind of business owner and one of my employees acted like that people would think I was a fucking moron for keeping them on.

Your realtor is your employee. Don’t be afraid to fire them for shitty performance.

Amen, my phone doesn’t do a thing to draw my attention unless someone is actively calling me or I have willed it do so for an extremely limited amount of time.

It feels so natural to toss my phone aside and not touch it again for a couple hours, it seems weird to me there are people that, like, cannot do that without anxiety

Rowthdowerrrr

I’m so glad someone added a single dot over the word “fuck” so I couldn’t read it and get offended, whew

I would hesitate to call our foes “Intelligences,” but they are most certainly Abominable, brother.

God, or worse, a conversation around the conversation you’re actually speaking in order to have

Me too. I went there when I was 10 or 11, and as a child all I noticed was how incongruous it was with everything. I wasn’t awed by it, and my parents seemed sort of put out with how I didn’t care for it compared to my sisters.

I’d like to pretend that’s some kind of deep political sentiment, but really I think it’s just aesthetically displeasing if you don’t have a thing for monuments

Ha, I still have my PS4 with P.T. downloaded to it as well

In my heart I feel it’s the cucumbers but I do not have any kind of logic to back that up

Which lesbian is the protein in this equation

Peanut butter is the protein, I guess, so the PB

Nonsense, “spaghettified” is a perfectly cromulent word

Cool, now actually enforce that judgment

This is interesting, because I have the same things happen with different reasons behind them. Responding to a joke as though I didn’t understand it was one is something I find internally amusing, and my own sense of humor is pretty dry/deadpan so people do miss sometimes when I’m “joking back” as it were

I think the dividing line is the intensity/frequency, unless one knows one is diagnosed. My coworkers for example pick up on the differences in the way I talk when I’m joking vs sincere pretty quick, and likewise learn that I find some small amusing in being irritating now and again

I mean this purely as an observation, but: almost certainly literal child detected

I’m in my mid 30s, and the people in my extended social circle around my age that don’t fire up a game at least once or twice a week are few and far between, even including the harried, busy, regular not-yet-grand parents, haha

Quick edit: imo, the ones not playing video games at my age (again, in my area) are generally the ones who seem the least like they have their shit together. It’s weird but it’s a thing I’ve noticed
