I carved a pumpkin. I'm proud of it.

...but I hesitate to post pictures 'cause the gore factor I was going for came out too perfectly.

It's like you hypnotized someone into being a chicken with one leg. Amazing.

I always want these experiments to last at least three months, and...of course...don't tell them when it actually ends. Perhaps, even better—tell 'em it's only a month, then make it longer.

I ask for three months 'cause that's around when eviction might happen, utilities turn off...

This is genius. Gettin' right out with it. Like... 'It's not a bug, it's a feature!'

I was recently lamenting how there isn't anything that really spooks me anymore, and, by golly, here you come out of left field with your haunted house ideas...

I remember the flood of articles that were all basically saying, 'Young people have never been richer!' Ah, sure, the number in the bank may be up for some folk relative to previous times... But the cost of everything has more than made up for whatever ground that only seems to have been made.

Sad that you injured yourself... But that sammich sounds delicious.

...the 9th point is...exceptionally wishful thinking.

There were so many lovely comments with great descriptions and references... But this one was the one that made me nod solemnly in agreement. Round boi indeed.

Move over, Grogu. Endearing wee Godzilla is here.

The entire time I was reading the facts, I was thinking, 'Please address that they look like Godzilla.'

Imagine my phone-throwing glee when you did!

Today I suddenly had a Chest CT with contrast scheduled for tomorrow. I'm told it's crucial. Cost to me is $2,788.25 in advance.
Who can scrounge up 2.7 grand in 24 hours?!
I THINK that'll fit on the medical credit card but... fuck!

I laughed from the other room. Someone asked why. I shouted, 'You know who he is...' NO SHIT, he shouted back, 'Jerry?'

Well, now I'm in a full blaze of curiosity, which means I need to find more books. Even if I'm not correct, it's a journey worth going on.

(Thank you, by the by. I don't get to talk about this kind of thing with anyone.)

You have to be careful which end you start from, depending on whether or not you care how much hotdog you're holding when you go to get the next one.

Have you read 'Demian'? (I'm only a recent dabbler in philosophy, but... Something in what you wrote rang a clear bell in my head that made me think, 'Wait. Was the whole thing between Sinclair and Pistorius an allegory for Jung and Freud?')

I immediately took note and started laughing at the next part, where he says he likes everyone there, though. Like...did he just call his whole audience ugly?

You've pumped the bellows on the embers of my rumination over 'Demian.'

Why am I endeared by this li'l nipper? (...I know I'm amused at the idea of Spaghetti just casually biting people like she's walking through a Costco and partaking of all the free samples.)

I know it's superficial and silly and whatever... But what the Hell is happening with...? *gestures with a broad, circular motion at Milei's whole head.*

He looks like he sprang straight out of an Austin Powers movie.

Slygrin @slygrin.bsky.social · 1d

Why does it keep coming back.

Why.

WHY.

I'VE GONE 'SURVIVAL STYLE 5+' ON THIS DAMN THING.

Go for it. Join the cacophony!
