All my doubters become routers when I admin the network of success

I like saying "I'll allow it" only in contexts where I have no power or authority

Not often I see one that's new to me, hopefully new to you as well.

Moishe is putting together a luncheon party for a large number of acquaintances and friends, and so decides to go to a rather posh caterer to order some food. He is met by a smartly-dressed salesperson, who says, "Can I help you, Sir?"

"Certainly," says Moishe. "I'm putting together a little party for some friends, and I have a few things that I would like. For starters, we're going to need about five pounds of lox."

The salesperson raises an eyebrow. "Surely you mean, 'smoked salmon', sir?"

Moishe shrugs. "All right, all right. Smoked salmon. We're also going to need about six dozen blintzes."

The salesperson scoffs. "'Blintzes'? You mean 'crepes', I'm sure."

Moishe rolls his eyes. "Okay, have it your way. Crepes. I'm also going to need about two quarts of liverwurst."

"No, no," says the salesman. "You mean, 'pâté'."

"Fine! Pâté! Whatever!" Moishe throws up his hands. "Five pounds of smoked salmon, six dozen crepes, and two quarts of pâté. I need it delivered to this address at around one o'clock on Saturday."

The salesman gives Moishe a deeply offended look. "What, you expect me to schlep on shabbos?!"

Kind of a weird time for this maybe but I made a comic essay about the video game Blue Prince and my experience playing it. Very, very good game.

There's no spoilers for puzzles or lore btw

i think we are long overdue for a game that does the reverse of 90s first person shooters and actively makes fun of the player for picking the hard difficulty

[epicsause-official]

I'm coming to realize how vital it is to keep a running list of shit you did in the past few weeks so that you can participate in small talk. It's literally not anything to do with them being interesting at all it's just having Something to say to give people even the barest thing to hold on to. It's so you don't get into the "what have you been up to" "nothing much what about you" "yeah same" trap. Literally just say something.

What have you been up to? Um well it's getting warmer so I've been having to brush my cat every day.

Like no it's not that interesting of a thing to say. But now they can respond to it. They could say, man yeah it really is heating up, I've been trying to think of things to do inside more often. Or, oh you have a cat? What's their name?

Like. It's Something. All you need is Something. And if you're like me and your brain immediately goes blank upon entering small talk then keeping a list will help you remember things to say.

“don’t take it personally” how would you like me to take it then? professionally? romantically? academically?

This is the quiz and I did not come up with it, credit goes to @iswearbyalltheflowers on this post.

Absolutely no judgment, I’m genuinely really curious and I figured more people would answer anonymously here than on the original post.

What's your profile picture?

It's the moon from "The Tick". In "The Tick" there's a villain named Chairface Chippendale, this guy

He wants to commit the ultimate act of vandalism by writing his name on the moon, but he only gets as far as "CHA" before The Tick stops him

The Tick later blows up the C with high explosives, accidentally launching himself into space and onto a Galactus parody called Omnipotus, who ends up sparing the Earth, but not before taking a bite out of the moon
