Unjustifiably doubts things.
You can enter the bathroom while I’m showering.

You can leave the door wide open.

You can screech for no apparent reason to attract attention to the bathroom with the door open where I’m showering.

Even when my Mum is visiting.

You can do all of this. I can take it. 1/2

Optimist: the cup is half full.

Pessimist: the cup is half empty.

The cup’s LinkedIn: the cup enjoyed an immensely successful career at full water capacity and is excited for this new challenge at a different but completely valid volume.
Optimist: the cup is ½ full

Pessimist: the cup is ½ empty

Proponent of dangerously incorrect carbon accounting: half of the cup has water in it, and the other half has avoided water in it. Therefore, the cup has achieved net zero water.
Optimist: the cup is ½ full

Pessimist: the cup is ½ empty

Geographer: actually, it all depends which projection was used

Hard to express how excited I am for this episode. I’ve wanted someone to tell me that the 4 hour work week is bullshit for a really long time. #podcast
