@generally-proven
i firmly believe that the scoring system of tennis is designed this way for no other reason than to piss me off. you are literally counting to 4
It's extra fucked when it's 40 all (deuce), where the fifth point becomes "advantage" and THEN the sixth point is game whyyyyy can't you count regular style
how i feel giffing a show that doesn't have a big audience on this website

my dad's been saying stuff like "bet" and "no cap" recently and honestly I thought he was doing a bit, but it turns out a few months ago his job moved him next to some of the young people in the office, so now my almost-retirement-age father just actually talks like this I guess
he was telling me today about how one of these Young People™ used to be a hockey player, and coincidentally one of the 30-somethings in the office used to be a referee. and the ex-ref likes to tell stories about how many times he had to break up fights the younger guy started, and they hang out all the time, and haha it's so funny they ended up at the same boring office job, and man...some romance writer or AU fic author out there must be feeling their eye twitching from the sheer BL plot nonsense vibes emanating from this building
this is sort of sickening to me. can they swap

This is a spreadsheet from Old Kingdom Egypt, written about 4500 years ago. It was part of the diary and logbook of Merer, an inspector responsible for the transportation of materials to Giza for the construction of Khufu's pyramid. There's something beautiful about the organization here, how his rows and columns would fit in just as well in Excel as any modern spreadsheet of delivery records. Across the yawning gulf of ages, we're united by this mundane and incredibly human task. I love reading things like this. They remind me of the fundamental similarity of humans across time. They were no less intelligent or skilled than we, and oftentimes had to be moreso, to account for the many technological aids they lacked.
I often hear people talk about how showing a smartphone to a medieval peasant would shock him, but I want to show Merer Excel. I think pivot tables would make him cry tears of joy.
@copperbadge, could Merer be a distant ancestor of yours?
I mean I feel like, spiritually, Merer is an ancestor to all of those who kneel at the altar of Rows And Columns.
Vintedos
excerpt from 1961 work Lo Vers e la Vela "The Verse and the Sail", from the chapter on the vintedos form. The book was written by Magdalena Fabressa, a professor of Domain History at the Higher School of Campottonì [~Wilmington, DE] specialising in verse.
…vintedos (occasionally called the "mariner's octave") is a form of verse invented in post-Tetrarchic Provence, which is now employed worldwide in a dozen poetic traditions and in even more languages. It has close associations with maritime poetry, but has also been turned to devotional works, laments, romantic epics and popular music.
The name vintedos (earliest attestation vintidós, 1449), taken from Doccian [Occitan], means "twenty-two".
Structure
A stanza of vintedos comprises two sets of dattilo [dactyl] beats, arranged and rhymed as follows. It may be displayed as couplets ("rope" format), or as below in eight-line stanzas ("ladder" format) to reflect the underlying rhythm.
Because every strict vintedos shares the same metre, a stanza in the form can be sung to any of several traditional tunes.
History and Development
The dattilo lines had become characteristic of processional chant in the churches of Burgundy and Lombardy by the twelfth century. Splitting the lines at the vintedos points arose on the Provincial coast; the earliest examples (from the Lerins monastery) contain annotated breath marks but as yet no rhyme.
The Antibol songbook, compiled in the 1380s by an unknown scribe of the hermitage-fishery at Antibol, records what appear to be a series of improvised lay rhymes in the vintedos form. They have rhymes only on the (D) lines, and are the first examples of vintedos with irreligious subject matters.
Vintedos spread westward during the Vascon Ascendancy of the fifteenth century. Poets of this period standardised and elevated the form; none more so than Belcara hix Aimeric, who is credited with popularising the full rhyme structure. More showy displays of technical skill like acrostics or strict alliteration were briefly seen as prestigious, but were soon considered affected or stodgy.
In the sixteenth century, publications like the Marsella Lament (reckoning with the Second Great Dying) and the Huzatre Psalter transformed the vintedos. The former gave it literary gravitas, while the latter's inexpensive prints and acommpanying folk tunes brought it into the voices of every village congregation.
More specialised conventions (such as "Vierna's precept", which forbade adjacent rhymes to share vowel sounds) were widely adopted in this period, and soon after analogues of the form appear across the world alongside translations of the Doccian works.
i had the best human interaction of all time last night. i was sitting at a bar eating an appetizer and this guy comes up to order a drink and stares at my food and comments how good it looks. when i am drunk i use the word bitch like it is a comma, i plug it into any space in a sentence possible. so naturally the first thing i say to this stranger is, “go ahead and take one, bitch.”
he looks SO shocked and taken aback and goes “what did you just say? how do you know my name?” so i sit there for a moment trying to figure out what the fuck he is talking about, and then go, “…. bitch?” and he looks so relieved and tells me his name is mitch.
i cannot stop thinking about this. oh my god. imagine going into a bar and someone you know for a fact youve never met approaches you and says “go ahead and take one, mitch.” im cracking the fuck up. he looked like he thought this was the fucking truman show
I hate when king arthur has all these fussy little steps in the instructions and you're like "no way do these fussy little steps matter" but you try it and they do. they matter so much.
I thought you meant Camelot quests and I was like "that's fair, 'never pick a four leaf clover on the last Wednesday of the month' IS a fussy little step that shouldn't matter" but then I was like "wait isn't that also a flour company"

i dreamt last night that you had a vision of some terrible danger that would soon befall me, and you tried helplessly to warn me, but i wouldn't listen because you were cursed to speak only in double dactyls and i thought you were doing a bit

Anyone can be discarded by society
People get made fun of for being scared of aging but it comes from the very real fear of being discarded by society that’s why i always say the goal is not to never become old or disabled the future comes for us all the goal is better social policy
I got a job at a gas station across from a casino and a guy keeps coming in to buy whole cartons of cigarettes and talks in the third person calling himself "snake eyes pete" and every time I tell him his total hes like "tell ya what if old Pete rolls a snake eyes why dont you give it to him for free?" and he rolls the same set of loaded dice on the counter and it does not matter how many times he rolls snake eyes I will not give him the cartons for free he gets so mad
