Aww I’m super glad to hear it improved your day, and you’ll be able to find it again in the future!
I get the same reaction to it, I think it’s the use of flat melancholic notes scattered throughout, such as in the refrain “I’d like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns slowly”. For me anyway. I love that sort of upbeat but sorrowful sort of thing.

I’m so much more into the visible hand puppetry. I find that fascinating.
The song is good, but the video style choices are very interesting :)

Transmission fluid is the real “I have no idea what that means” thumbs up.
Because it should hopefully always be clear but it depends where…… and how warm…. And how clean the dipstick was….
(I recently had transmission issues and omfg there isn’t even a light on my car for low transmission fluid wtf??)

Idk why I was expecting anything other than what that comm was, but I’m pleased to have been wrong.

I hate pickles and pickle juice. Always have, always will.
That said, whenever I have bad heartburn, I take a shot of straight pickle juice (the vinegar kind), and it goes away.

For sure, the cringe of the office is unbearable, and I have no idea who you named… other than knowing they were in the show…? I tried so hard to try to like it that sucks so hard to have people all like “no but give it time!” …bitch… I did give it time… I even tried the UK version and it’s the exact same thing with different people.
Same with always sunny (sans UK version, I doubt that exists… it wouldn’t translate…)… I can’t get past the first impression, the gang gets racist… like ok, this clearly has nothing for me…?
Maybe it does, but I’ll never honestly be able to get past the start to know (other than memes, I know many of those bits)

More that you can’t, but hey, sure! Whatever makes you happy!

Yeah, that shit.
That’s exactly it, and where I stopped because omfg who does that…???
Nobody with normal human motivations, that’s who.

Wow if that’s what you took from that… that says a lot about you…
Sorry I don’t like your pet fantasy…?

It took me the entire amount of time I spent looking at this before replying to realize this device is a kickboard to learn swimming…
I’m way too old for this meme.
I struggled with those kickboards and only really learned to swim pretending to be a mermaid.

I have the same problem with stuff. Can you, um… anti-suggest?
Like suggest things I should avoid that hit those same tropes that made bb unwatchable for me…?

Idk man, as a science communicator, I watched it and thought it sucked. I know enough about any science field to explain to laypeople, but not enough to properly engage experts usually.
It’s not a bad show per se, but it’s a bad show, imho, as far as normal human motivations are concerned. Who gets their shit handled and still risks their whole family’s shit? Like maybe it’s just me but that’s stupid and hard to believe.

My chipmunk bladder would like to have a word with your claim that the trips slow down over time…

lol he swapped seats and everything, that’s great! Not the drunk driving, ofc, but to be a fly on the wall for that stop, woof!

Probably instance. That happens on a few of my accounts but not this one.

Melancholy, misanthrope, and asocial were game changers for me. Learned them young, use them frequently even now.

This is a genuine photograph of six men in striped bathing suits in the early 1900s. However, we’ve found no evidence to support the claim that it was taken at a beauty contest.
The earliest internet postings of the photo we could find came in articles concerning the early days of swimsuit fashion. In 2012, Angus Trumble, the Director of the National Portrait Gallery of Australia in Canberra, provided a little more information about the photograph’s origins.
In a brief anecdote, Trumble wrote that the photo was originally available as a postcard captioned “Schöner durch Streifen. Mitteleuropa um 1910,” which translates roughly to “men made more beautiful by stripes. Central Europe around 1910.”

There was a bar near me that still had one of these things until quite recently, and yeah it was always on the ground and gross and stuff. I just used a napkin the few times I went there.
But then they had a fire and got rid of them. Now they have a freestanding roll of paper towel that’s always wet and falling on the floor which is much better…
- Comment on Some secrets are kept better hidden than others 1 month ago:
A prior owner of my house was a mason. I know this because I get his union stuff (I’ve lived here for 15 years; at this point it’s not my problem).
He installed a huge fireplace and hearth… on top of 2 layers of old hardwood flooring… so when I ripped that out, I made the hearth unstable. Yay! It’s also an absolutely massive radiant structure, and everyone is shocked that it’s… designed for a small pellet stove.
It’s both well done, and not well done at all.

They gave all they had. And then some, Jesus.
Most animals have better births than humans but I, a human woman, would not want to be a kiwi bird (avian variety, IDK what words mean over there).

Depends on the class.
I had a statistics course that allowed us one single sided page, but as long as your printer could handle infinitely small print, she didn’t care if you had magnification. You could hypothetically have keychain bible print for your entire book as a cheat sheet, it just wouldn’t help you in the allotted time.
My cheat sheet for R was nothing but codes because I’m not a coder at all (R is my entire coding experience, and it was fucking miserable) and that helped if I remembered to label the fucking codes. And LOL nope.
But I cheated in other classes by doing such nonsense as writing vocab on my shoes… in college language courses, which I paid for myself… so dumb and counter productive.
I was never smart enough to cheat in regular school… I just brute forced the work… ironyyyyyyyyy
- Comment on I'll just take the bus 1 month ago:
My ex tried to teach me to drive stick on the way home from urgent care… my urgent care. Because it was convenient for him at that time. He refused to teach me several times before then because it was inconvenient. (why yes, I did leave him decades ago over abuse, thanks for asking! Tho it was not the specific thing)
I don’t care if manual is superior in some irrelevant way; I refuse to learn now due to trauma.
- Comment on *fliiiinnnnnggg*. 1 month ago:
Did you know that in old English, Þ þ was a thorn, which was pronounced “th” like the word the. In Middle English, the shape of the thorn got, well, sloppy, because people are lazy as shit, and eventually took on the shape Y.
Thus, when you see a sign in “old English” (actually Middle English at best) that says ye olde shoppe, you should read it boringly as “the old shop”.
Off I go to ruin more days!

Stuff like this is why I have a rule with my friends, because we are all varying levels of broke at various times.
Whomever suggests going out (typically no more than 3 people) must be fully prepared to cover the costs of everyone being invited. They usually don’t have to do so, but it ensures that nobody feels awkward because they can’t afford to go.

This comment is the closest I’ve come to understanding the problem, can you be more explicit about why bussy is a thing?
Is it because pussy? But the bum? I’m so confused.
- Comment on Material scientist wet dream 1 month ago:
Just curious, have you watched the show with the same name as your account?
I guess it’s for kids to help them deal with trauma. I downloaded it due to super high ratings, but I haven’t watched it yet (and might not; I don’t have or want kids, but I like having good stuff for friends with them)
- Comment on Amazing. 1 month ago:
When I moved into my last apartment, my entire storage area was full of bags of cans.
They belonged to a neighbor, who was using my empty storage because his was full, I found out 2 weeks later when he came ripping up to my door demanding to know what I did with his money.
When I found out he meant the cans, I laughed, told him I threw out his trash for him, and told him if he ever darkened my door again I’d call the cops.
They weren’t even crushed. His own storage was probably plenty if he’d be less lazy.
- Comment on I'd choose 4 tbh 1 month ago:
5,6,9 only ones that really make a big difference in the grand scheme of things.
Being super strong would mean you’d likely end up doing a lot of physical activity for yourself and others, but it would also mean that your resting metabolism is significantly higher than baseline which handily takes care of the fat/weight problem.
Being taller would be fine I guess but, and I say this as a woman in the bottom 25% in height, it wouldn’t actually make any substantial difference in life, beyond being able to touch the floor in a standard chair.
Having a lot of money takes care of shopping without stopping it, As well as the followers thing (rich people are often famous, and if not they can dump some money into something to make them famous if they want) and I feel being happy over-rides forgetting your ex, cuz you wouldn’t feel bad about it.
