rip Logan Roy, you would've hated HOT TO GO

this phrase has given an almost incalculable buff to my casual hating

this was my favorite part of the article

[lesvegas]

A few years ago while trying to find ways to commit suicide as painlessly as possible, I came across a PDF of Dr. Paul Quinnett's The Forever Decision. Thinking it might go into actual methods of suicide (I read an article once that actually did that and was trying to find it again) I started to read it, and I think I only got about two pages in before I was crying too much to actually see the words.

I downloaded the PDF to my hard drive and I open it again whenever I'm feeling too suicidal to do much else, but not enough to start booking a ride to the hospital. And every time without fail I only go up to a few pages before backing off and choosing to live another day just because suicide suddenly seems even more unbearable than whatever the hell upset me in the first place.

All the book really does is [I'm pulling a summary from GoodReads here as, again, I've read no more than 5 pages] "discusses the social aspects of suicide, the right to die, anger, loneliness, depression, stress, hopelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, the consequences of a suicide attempt, and how to get help."

But it also starts with the author kindly asking the reader to complete the book before going through with anything, and for some reason I'm compelled to really just try to read it all before finalizing everything. Despite not yet completing it (hopefully never will) I think I can safely say it's saved my life at least a few times now.

It's intentionally legal to copy and redistribute this book to keep it as accessible as possible, and it's very easy to find, but here's a link for it anyways.

maybe the single funniest twitter comment I've ever seen

[headspace-hotel]

"subtext" and "buttsex" being anagrams of each other is an example of order and harmony in the universe

This is actually better than the time I found out that boobytrap spelled backwards is partyboob.

Overlock Stitch by @clothes_reetzy

[thatisuseful]

Damn, that's useful

[fluidstatick]

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

The porky pig bit has to be one of my favorite mbmbam moments. Griffin's reluctance at his own joke. The brother's silent horror. The animation captures this trainwreck/homerun of a joke so well

Does anyone know what to do about the temperature and also the prices

how it feels to message a friend who's having Problems that you can't do anything to help with.

I know I already made a post to this effect but it's so baffling to me when someone defends the fact that headphone jacks are slowly but surely getting phased out by smartphone manufacturers with some variations of "wireless headphones are more convenient anyway" bc like. If we're talking about convenience what I like about wired headphones is that they conveniently have a single plug that makes the same damn pair of headphones universally compatible with every single audio-output-capable device I own, from my phone and my computer to my fucking gameboy and my casette player, it doesn't get any more convenient than that.

And you never have to charge them. And they’re cheap. And the only way you can lose just one is if your guitar teacher’s cat is a huge fucking bastard.

I do think the ability to emoji-react is a net win for human communication. not only does it give you an outlet for 'I see and acknowledge this but don't have a verbal response' but it also adds a pleasing alethiometer element to things

my coworker announces that he's off to the dentist. someone reacts with a tooth emoji. is this a statement of dentist solidarity? a wish for my coworker to return with more (or fewer?) teeth than he set out with? simple word association? who can say

guys can we all think about roman roy together

stop letting miserable people on the internet convince you that you must have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything that has ever existed.

Something to keep in mind as things get harder and folks insist you have to have a take on something. Sometimes the best thing you can do is to admit you need to think on something and not react in the moment. It is one of the most helpful things in my life to not go off the cuff, especially when I want to.

my apologies for going through many blogs' succession tags and liking dozens of posts from years ago. I'm the scorpion. it's in my nature
