so this past week at my job i met a guy who mentions he's in the "dime club". chatted with him for awhile, here's the faq:

Q: what is the dime club?

A: it's where you eat dimes

Q: why??

A: unclear. "dime club: invest in yourself"

Q: how many dimes has this guy eaten?

A: nine. he knows a guy that has eaten a total of over a dollar!

Q: how many people are in the dime club?

A: at least a couple dozen of this guy's friends

Q: is this safe??

A: apparently children who swallow coins are fine like 95% of the time, so therefore adults, who are larger than children, swallowing dimes, which are the smallest coin, should be completely fine

Q: future goals?

A: 'sisterhood of the traveling dime' (sharing predigested dimes with friends. yay recycling :))

i surveyed my coworkers, and a lot of them said they would join the dime club if there was the right amount of peer pressure and/or alcohol. i'm half convinced myself. reblog if you want to eat dimes with me.

stay tuned for more character of the week posts. lots of weird people in the mountains.

it's kind of crazy climate change has occurred at such a remarkable pace that I and everyone else around my age can remember a completely different climate in our childhoods. I truly watched winter gradually disappear in my life.

"You're too young to remember this, but there used to be so many insects outside that you would have to clean them off the windshield after a long car ride" is the kind of sentence that would have been in a cheesy scifi short story earlier in my life, perhaps submitted to a literary magazine and accepted to show support for its environmentalist message - now it's something I've said in earnest.

adulthood notes:

The Rodeo Rule: you only have to do it for the first time once.

The Rohan Rule: if you are at a social function full of new people and you want to be liked, find someone doing important work like setup or food prep and offer to help.

The Tutorial Mode Rule: to navigate an unfamiliar situation where you fear you will mess up an interaction, preface the interaction by mentioning that you've never done this before, and let them know if you have a specific concern or question.

The Rocket Science Rule: most new things you want to try seem very complicated but are simple when taken step by step.

The [X] Will Remember That Rule: if you need to make small talk with the same person on a regular basis, try to save one fact or current event in their life from a given conversation and bring it up next time you talk.

The Cool Binder Rule: by wearing clothes and accessories that are to your taste instead of trying to blend in, people will be more likely to compliment you and show interest in you as a person.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

cultures that do an afternoon nap are OBJECTIVELY CORRECT and the world should be learning from them

you've heard of the spanish siesta now get ready for places like Vietnam where it's commonplace to see workers pull out a mattress & take an afternoon nap on the office/store floor. very powerful way to roll. give kindergarten-style naptime BACK to the people ✊

YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU CAN HANDLE CRITIQUE. YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU CAN EMBRACE BEING TOLD YOU WERE WRONG. YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH UNPLEASANT TASKS. YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU CAN DELIVER DISAPPOINTING NEWS. YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU KNOW HOW TO BE DISAGREED WITH. YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU CAN BE CORRECTED. YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU CAN BE TOLD YOU MESSED UP. YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU ARE ABLE TO DO HARD THINGS.

Studying engineering is like putting your dick on an anvil and smashing it as hard as you can with a hammer over and over again

huge fan of the depth of a good purple but another area that draws me is definitely around aquamarine/turquoise/seafoam. you can not go wrong once the green starts getting just a tinge more blue. a gal could certainly do worse than to pull over there and stay a while

something earth shattering going on here
