So very penitential

I feel like if I went to a "silent disco" I would feel more compelled to just sit and listen than I would when listening to music not on headphones

Tipping was cooler when we weren't asked to do it.

If it wasn't for the seasons, would society care about the solar year?

I'm willing to bet that a supermajority of the people sharing this would reconsider having that stance when they realise the cost and lifespan of a product sold with a single payment that's going to work flawlessly

As a kid, I managed to get a bouncy ball to hit the floor and then the ~290 cm ceiling thrice. Then I forgot about that.

Kid came home with a bouncy ball and the first thing I did was try to beat my record.

I think I'm starting to like the idea of things not coming with power adapters and using standardised methods to get power

I have now gone through airport security with analogue camera(s) and film 5 times and the mixed experience and reactions every time is kind of fascinating.

YEG: no issues the first time, flabbergasted at first the second

YXX: no issues, just "oh cool"

YCC: “if the swab comes back positive we will have to x-ray it” and also required proof it turns on. Good thing I didn’t bring a Brownie or my Solida folding camera loaded with film.

SAN: no issues

Gotta love being the last one to find out about everything. I take that back. Last one to be *told* about everything.

Does fact that the effort required to split a restaurant bill is a trope in modern fiction indicate that American restaurants still don't know how to bill per seat?

What you thought was them just being quirky was actually a desperate plea for help and, well, you missed that boat

If someone says "upside-down triangle," what do you picture?

This is parody, right? Right?!

Now that we have other ways of publishing opinions, maybe “news” distributors should stick to news and let other platforms handle opinion columns

I can't help but take "I love this for you" to be passive-aggressive

I think I strongly dislike getting compliments because I don't know what to do with them.

Can't trade 'em for gold or bitcoin nor pay the rent with them, so what are they worth?
