At my core I need to shut the hell up and read a short novel that changes me forever

My most referenced meme is actually this sign from a furniture store's going out of business sale in my hometown.

I’m sorry!!! I’m sorry that we can’t go back!!! And for all the things we can’t remember. But I’m glad we did it!! The love will always be there!

People I met for a few moments that live in my head forever.

the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.

i spend my days waiting. waiting for the water to boil and my tea to be ready. for spring to come back. for more daylight. the oil in the pan to heat up. a “hey i miss you” or “can you help me out for a second?” or “you want to hang out?” text. for my phone to finish charging. for good news. flowers on the table. the next hug. “hey, you got the job!”. waiting for the sun. to set. to rise. to see both. for summer to be around the corner. a good song. a falling star. a text back. i spend my time waiting to be remembered. i spend my time repeating that tomorrow will be better. tomorrow will be better. i spend my days waiting and waiting and waiting. i spend my days waiting unbearably.

you were in the US military once right? how believable would this be?

That's exactly what you should expect from the average motivated American warfighter

[wenchley]

I am convinced that the one (1) downside to abolishing the military is that it would cause a Library of Alexandria scale loss of Dumb Guy culture.

[natalieironside]

That's like saying you don't want to excise a malignant growth because it'll hurt the cancer

Counterpoint: I want to study them like a bug under a microscope.

If you want to study the leviathan, study its corpse

Hon, I'm a novelist. Is McDonald's an unlikely source of chicken mcnuggets?

[nowhereman313]

Maybe not, but the alley behind a Waffle House is a weird place to find Aristotle.

[natalieironside]

But that's exactly where you'd find Socrates and Diogenes

[libraryogre]

And they be fuckin'

[natalieironside]

It's true

[detrout]

are we just ignoring leviathan

[natalieironside]

I'm never not thinking about Leviathan. This is a Thomas Hobbes hate blog.

Anyone in this thread smoke weed?
