If you're looking for good read, I recommend Liza Minnelli's Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!

This feels like a poster you would find inside an abandoned high school as worldbuilding in a post-apocalyptic video game

One can determine the veracity of a doctrinal system by the sociology it produces. If a doctrinal system relies on a culture that tolerates, condones or defends behavior at direct odds with easily-interpreted ethical duties of a disciple, then it cannot be true.

I enjoyed The Devil Wears Prada 2. The old gang was unchanged.

I stared awkwardly at a coworker after she asked me a small talk question that I didn't understand, and said "I need to go" and walked into an empty conference room.
Neurodivergent gang what's the most Neurodivergent thing you did today?

A woman with the worst smoker's voice I've ever heard told me that she doesn't use electric hand dryers because a doctor told her they are bad for your health
I see Euro A/C is in the discourse again. One time I was working for a summer in a law firm in France and I was miserable in the heat. When I asked the partner why they didn't have A/C he said, "It's bad for the lungs," as he took a long drag from his cigarette.

That's the first time I've seen Jack Tame talk to a man better-looking than himself.

Or, "he that observeth the wind shall not sow".
something I’ve noticed about people living a more fear-based life is that they pay a LOT of attention to the environment e.g. “I want to start a company doing X but I don’t know if it’s the right time because maybe Y will happen…” whereas people who are living a more trust-based life are more likely to just follow that desire but it’s not naivety. it’s not “I know this will work out”. It’s more “there’s something here and I trust that if I follow that, SOMETHING good will come out of it” the business might fail but I meet the right people for the next one, or get the right skills, etc fear scatters our attention to everything at once, like a nervous cat looking around the room. trust focuses that attention to “here’s what I want to create” and then we get a self fulfilling prophecy because someone whose attention & energy are so focused IS more likely to achieve the desired outcome

went to the bodega and bought gatorade, a protein shake, and a bottle of laundry detergent and the guy gave me 3 straws… don’t like the implications of that

He looked, as always, as if he had been carved from some durable form of wood by someone who was taking a correspondence course in sculpture and had just reached his third lesson.

Everything I try watching on Apple TV is cerebral (which I like) and depressing (which I don't like).

I never said the book is good. I said I loved it. Those two are VERY different things

I sincerely believe that if drinking causes you to do anything other than be more silly, giggly, whimsical, and happy than usual, you actually should not drink ever, you aren't suited for it and it will only cause suffering

I'm looking for something witty, intelligent, and wholesome to watch. I have Netflix (NZ), TVNZ , and Beamafilm. I prefer series over films.
