I was in a food coop in college which followed kosher and halal dietary rules. We followed the most extreme versions, to account for those who kept very strict kosher rules, which would also satisfy those who were more lax.

anyway, same with politics. go for broke, moderates can deal.

meanwhile I was requested to interview on Canada radio last week and the first question was, I kid you not at all, verbatim, "So is Candy Crush a video game? Because I play it and I think it's not"

One of the things the pandemic revealed is that our current way of life is highly inefficient, wasteful, and overall detractory to our health.

No wonder there's such a concentrated effort to banish it from the collective memory.

Scientists have been studying remote work for 4 years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”

Flexible work boosts well-being and focus—people sleep more, commute less, eat better, and spend more time with family while maintaining results.

Article headline reads: “Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and found: ‘Working from home makes us thrive.’” Below, a man sits on a couch using a laptop, symbolizing remote work and flexibility.

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. "
"You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

In the second panel they are scribbling in the book with a pencil. Text reads: I’m gonna do it anyway

Would YOU want to play a top down Zelda like where you explore a heavily Beksinski-influenced landscape helping the Souls of the dead find peace and gradually losing every one of your Zelda gizmos along the way? If so please watch this space for when we have time to finish it between 5-10 years =P

This stuff is trash and it will be beautiful one day and I am so excited for that day

ms paint oilbrush drawing of a orangey red sand beach, a vibrant blue ocean, and a vast sky filled with multicolored stars. There is a lil campfire, two characters near it, and loose descriptive text. It's Very Bad!

Me poorly painting over a photo of an irl beach loaded with driftwood to make the sand red and the sky resembling the thing in my mspaint guy

with my new priceshare app you can pay a poor person to do your shopping for you at poor person prices

look for us on the Torment Store this holiday season

You go into a store to buy a 2-litre bottle of milk at the supermarket and pay $3. But the person in front of you in line paid $3.50. And the person behind you paid $2.

Surveillance pricing is the practice of monitoring consumer data to charge you the most they think you will be willing to pay.

No actress ever lost her s**t quite so well as Barbara Stanwyck. Here, in Shopworn (1932), she refuses to take a pay-off for not marrying rich boy Regis Toomey, even though the consequence will be six months in the "State Home for the Regeneration of Women."

A woman who rang ABC Sydney radio said she found out about the Optus outage from her cat.

The cat has an automatic wi-fi feeder (connected to Optus) & when breakfast wasn't delivered at 6:10 am, the cat went to the bedroom to lodge a complaint with management.

It is my firmly held belief that if someone calls you a "wollfian" or "mullerian" or whatever the fuck you can and should punch them in the face. Honestly I was already kinda there just on the way Tumblr people used AMAB/AFAB but now I am all in. Punch them. Punch them in the face.

the tumblr queer/intersex community (aka transmisogynists): We've invented new terms to replace "biological female and biological male", 'Wollfian' and 'Mullerian', based on the wollfian and mulerian ducts.
