I had 20 pages to go, and now I’ll never know.
Write it down! And then you just have to fill up a measly 20 pages to finish it up.
If only! I’m not as good a writer as my subconscious. I have no idea what it was planning.

Apparently, I lack an entrepreneurial mindset.
“We invented all-new chips made from 100% fruit as a snackable alternative to high fat, heavily processed snacks and are bringing them to market in the United States next year. As an added bonus, we uncovered a way to render our waste into a grummy, fruit flavored sheet packaged as individual rolls.”
“…So you learned how to use a dehydrator and invented fruit rollups. Cool, cool.”
‘“It’s like Amazon, but for books!”
“Dude, Amazon WAS for books.”
“Yeah, but I mean like Kindle Unlimited, where you can borrow things and return them!”
“…That’s a library, bro. They already exist. And also they are free.”’.
If I have to listen to one more “entrepreneur” blather on for an entire hour about their personal journey as an “industry disrupter”, I am going to fucking cut someone.

<mansplains how these are ACSHUALLY valid examples of industry disruption>
<@Aria smacks him on the head with a wet fish>
Ow!

@Arkandel I mean, fruit rollups are awesome. If someone has made them organic and also somehow not horrible for you, that’s cool. I’m down. But they’re not a “snack industry disruptor” and they need to calm the fuck down.

@SpaceKhomeini Yeah, any time discussions of entrepreneurs come up, my brain immediately goes to Nathan Masri.

If any of y’all are in college and your professors get after you for not reading?
Those fuckers don’t read either.
ETA: Okay I talked to the particular person I was mad at on the phone and she’s actually a really sweet old lady so I feel bad that I called her a fucker on here, but she still didn’t read.

Climate change.
I was all excited to RP last weekend, going to have a great time!!!
And now it’s been 20 degrees hotter than normal for a week straight, and I have lost my mojo entirely.
-
@Kestrel Thanks, but I’d really rather not.

Harry is the hottie.

Not really a peeve, just something I’m thinking about.
Any of you Americans ever notice how often we’ll say “no” to mean “yes” and vice-versa? I’ve never had a problem telling which way someone means the word, but I’m sitting here trying to figure out the rules as if I needed to explain it to someone who’s ESL, and I can’t isolate the rules at all.

@GF There’s a variant among Midwesterners.
“Yeah, no.”
and
“No, yeah.”
It’s exactly as maddening as you imagine it to be.
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

My principal asked me to do a walk and talk with her. I know consciously that it is legit just a check in. But there is always that “what did I do wrong and what punishment is coming” when there isn’t a set agenda.

Australians do that too, weirdly.
Weird that midwesterners and Australians both do it, that is.
He/Him. Opinions and views are solely my own unless specifically stated otherwise.

@GF I notice it and I do it and I don’t know why and I hate it.
-
I use ‘yeah, no’ every so often here in NY. It’s a way to add emphasis to the ‘no’.
-
We say “so don’t I” as agreement.
“You like Kelly’s roast beef? So don’t I!” = “I too enjoy Kelly’s roast beef sandwiches.”
