@jenmercieca hey Jen. Is there a sort of taxonomy of the components of rhetoric and how they get added/mixed together?

Showing up to a gut health workshop in silicon valley with MS Excel in one hand wearing a hazmat suit. "Ooooohhh!" I say, "I thought you said mIcrobiotics and mAcro processors". But I really didn't, I came this way because I'm terribly lonely and have forgotten how to make friends

Me: gives a thumbs up to "The Distance" by Cake

Me: make a playlist based on Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen
YTM: ... and The Distance?

Me: play me some songs similar to Tennessee Whisky by Chris Stapleton
YTM: ... and The Distance?

Me: I'm in the mood for Short Skirt / Long Jacket by Cake
YTM: *visibly shaking* ... and The Distance?

I've been a Pandora subscriber for ~15 years. Been using YouTube music since lately and the recommendations that come up when you start a "radio" station have felt weird and I just found the words for it.

I discovered that the asian hot sauce that's popular now has 2 R's in it yesterday and I honestly thought someone was playing a racist prank on me. Like there is no way it's called sRiracha, right?

Living that flaneur life, bay beeeeereeee

On today's list of errands:
UPS: parcel delivery
USPS: post office
U Pspsps: cat stuff

Handling my dad's estate and we're trying to sell his house. The realtor previously said she is nervous being in empty houses with strangers and just now texted me the contact info of someone she was showing the house to and said "if he kills me give the police his contact info"

Girl... I think you're in the wrong line of work

Darkness giving way
Mounting chariot of heat
You raise me skyward

To call it the "Prisoner's Dilemma" is victim shaming. Really it's a terrible game the warden made up to torture the prisoner and perhaps create the fig leaf of morality for the warden's own self by not actually choosing the punishment
