Yeah it’s the social life that really suffers. When my wife and I were dating I was doing night shifts 10pm-7am then classes starting at 8am.
We’d hangout after classes but I’d pass out trying to stay awake to watch a movie which would cause my body to jolt awake and scare the shit out of her
It always blows my mind that we’re such a car centric hellhole but when I was in college living in an apartment I’d have to sneak to work on my car because there wasn’t any DIY garages and it was against lease terms to work on cars on the property.
I’d have to wait until 5/6 at night right before it got dark and rush to change my oil or brakes before it got too dark to see.
These days I give my younger coworkers the pin and 24/7 access to my garages if they want to work on their cars or any projects really.
Don’t forget blackface thing mon
Slang as well. Apparently my grandma was hood af so when I tried to use what little German I knew my teacher was like that’s some informal shit.
I can’t think of a single thing that I’d describe as a freedom I’m missing out on being married.
Yeah I was about to say these people spent a lifetime using immigrant labor. They probably still get kicks out of having someone beneath them wipe their asses
Hong Kong
I just expected like a flat New York “too tame to be fun” city but was met with mountains, beaches, and so many bizarre but charming events.
Not that I don’t like New York but it has changed a lot. I don’t want to say it lost its personality but I feel like a lot of big cities have become idk… commercialized?
The food in Hong Kong was pretty disappointing tho or maybe I built it up too much in my head. I went to so many restaurants that were recommended to me by either locals or expats and they were all so bland. Which is wild because I didn’t have to go far across the border into China to find amazing dishes.
As a joke I was looking for general everyday items they might’ve sold but now I feel like I’m on a new list.
I did find cool Hawaiian satellite shirts that I kinda want now
Its ok to still be after your manic pixie dream girl
I like to use my impact driver to really dig in those fasteners. The crunching sound means it’s not going anywhere
Subaru had a fun campaign targeting lesbians in the 90s after they noticed that lesbians were driving their cars.

My hobby project car right now is a “lesbian wagon” for my niece
Naturally as it’s a JS Subaru the bushings are shot
Can’t wait for social media to start pushing/forcing users to mark their jokes as sarcastic. You wouldn’t want some poor bot to miss the joke
Maybe our microplastics will start self healing us or give us cancer 2.0
…either way 50/50
Have you tried switching to diet sodas?
My wife had an eating disorder from her teens to her thirties. To get a feeling of being full she would drink diet sodas. It’s a habit she still keeps even though she’s able to eat less restrictively these days.
People with EDs generally don’t have great teeth so she’s always been super paranoid about hers. Her dentist said to counter the acid she should drink with a straw and finish it in one go then wash her mouth with water.
Probably not helpful but just incase
Both.
John Lilly is a nut and stuck Margaret and a dolphin together in a tiny enclosed space where neither of them could get much space or stimulation.
He would constantly just bullshit things like “oh, I’ll make the middle area of the house two feet of water deep because that’s the optimum depth for human dolphin interaction!”
Dolphins are unbelievably horny and being locked up probably didn’t help with that. The dolphin would nip at Margaret and wailed until she finally went like “jfc I’ll just jerk this fucker off”
I’m in the oldest bracket of millennials and I feel like I grew up with everyone shouting that our children would grow up in a hellish burning world.
My wife and I decided pretty early on that we’d rather live the good DINK life.
I think I saw that kid working at the movie theater
