when books got invented mustve been a fucking crazy time just all of sudden everybody you know is carrying around a strange rectangle just looking at it? like an actual zombie staring at it for hours, brains fried! their attention spans are so low now like what ur too good to listen to bird song on loop for 9 hours a day? this generation is so fucking doomed

Ancient Roman soldier's mom: its cause you be on that book all day

I hate how when you add ANY amount of new liquid to a boiling pot it immediately goes dead silent like…. Oh. You’re here 😐. The water molecules looking at you like

The beginning and the end

Happy new year !

sometimes i wonder if i am too fragile or if we just live in a world that considers something as emotional and organic as the human being to be a waste of capital

some of y'all need to learn how to accept hospitality. stop assuming people are only offering to look after you out of twisted obligation that they don't actually want to do. when you assume that, you are often denying someone the opportunity to genuinely show a friend or stranger love. even if you don't really care about what they're offering, it's respectful of their desire to be kind to accept it anyways.

i had a bunch of girls i've never met over for a women's group. every single one of them denied my offer to make them tea (despite already making myself a mug anyways), get them water, a scone, etc.

i can tell when people refuse to let me be a good host because they "don't want to be a bother". like no!! please be a bother!!! i want to serve you and make you comfortable in my home!

not to be like "we live in a society" but really do live in a modern culture than emphasizes individualism to the point where people will reflexively deny any help or kindness from others for fear of treading on their independence. newsflash: dependence on each other is what makes a community. next time someone offers you kindness, accept it instead of making excuses for why you don't need it. otherwise you've robbed both yourself of being loved and someone else from showing love.

beetle table <3 maple, white oak, walnut

Just so everyone is aware because I didn’t realize at first,

OP MADE THIS TABLE AND IT IS SICK AF

what's crazy about those mansions with a million different activities and toys is the kids aren't even going to care after a while if they don't have someone to play with. guarantee they'd have more fun at a public park.

basically this form of spoiling children creates a situation of instant gratification that turns to boredom faster and faster each time. children want to socialize and bond. they want attention.

i've talked about some not-so-great experiences in my childhood but I think not getting a million toys and having to use unrelated items around me to play pretend is why i'm so creative now. I was friends with a girl from a rich family whose brother had a new toy every time I saw them. at the time I was jealous, but when I went to their house, I realized how uninterested they were in what they had.

things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever

Almost all of these are about variety. Humans need stimulation! We need enrichment! We literally cannot do the same thing every day!

The other day I was feeling miserable, so I hopped on a bus and rode it all the way back to where I’d started, and my brain, which had finally had some proper stimulation via new environments, was suddenly ready to go again!

This is why taking walks/drives and trying new hobbies are good for you! Don’t turn yourself into a sad zoo animal! You need some pumpkins to roll around in your enclosure!

ITS BACK!!!!!

god i fucking love the quote “dont turn yourself into a sad zoo animal” it has really inspired me!

GO WHITE BOY GO

Parts of the country where self-service gas pumping is illegal.

I didn’t know about New Jersey’s law so imagine my shock when a pump jockey sprinted at my car and kicked my door shut when I tried to get out to get gas. I rolled down my window and asked him “Is there a law against pumping your own gas or something?” And he looked at me like I’M nuts and just said “…yes?”

okay but imagine this in the reverse. when i left new jersey as a driver for the first time and sat in my car for about ten minutes wondering where the attendant was until a nice man tapped on my window and just said the words “New Jersey?” and when I nodded he told me to get out of the car so he could teach me how to pump gas (and nicely didn’t laugh at me when I shot gas out of the nozzle across the side of my car).

me and the boys (all from new jersey) went on a road trip out of state and had to get gas and it ended up being sort of a Group Puzzle for the gang as we huddled around the gas pump and nozzle and tank and whatnot. just picture five people standing around the gas tank opening like its part of an escape room. it was very silly.

Took me years to understand the "why the long face" punchlines to "so a horse walks into a bar" jokes because I just thought that's a normal sized face to have if you're a horse. It never occurred to me judge a horse by the standards of man

I was a better person than all of you
