  • This is the best answer. There’s a reason that subway maps are often not an accurate representation of where stops actually are on a map, but instead are condensed and made easier to read in a way that loosely shows where the stops are and also makes each stop easy to read along with other key info that’s relevant. When you’re on a train, you don’t need accurate maps of where stop are, you just need to know where your stop is, how many stops away, or connecting trains.

    Not that female anatomy is akin to a train system… Or is it?


  • I can’t tell you how much happier I was to move to a neighborhood in the city where the grocery store was a 5 min walk away. I always see old ladies with a wheelie cart walking home from the store. And one day I said Fuck it I’m getting an old lady cart! And it’s the best! I can comfortably buy more groceries and walk them home. Only time I ever need to bring the car is if we’re buying cases of beer or something else large.

    And then there’s you did everything you possibly could yourself and you did your best and saved tons of money, but now you actually do need to pay someone to do the thing you don’t trust yourself to do so you saved money just for the thing, but no contractor will agree to come do the thing because demand is high and they would rather do commercial projects. So yeah… You can’t even pay a pro and you’re just fucked 🤷







  • I went to Meijer a week ago and saw they had a pallet of candy corn. I was like wow this early? And I bought a bag thinking it must be left over from last year or something, but no it was just the opposite. It was the freshest bag of candy corn I’ve ever eaten and it was very delicious. But it also made me realize that the reason I’m never getting fresh candy corn for Halloween is because they literally make it and ship it in late July/early August and then just let it sit there for 3 months until Halloween. But at least now I know when the best time is to buy candy corn… So there’s that.





  • My first job as an intern was in a suburban office park. There wasn’t anything of significance within walking distance and our office didn’t have anything in the way of food/snacks. So a few of us would group up and attempt to cross the street to get to the gas station on occasion. It was a nightmare. Not a far walk at all, but it took forever to wait for traffic. And even when it cleared, you had to be super attentive as people in the burbs aren’t used to people trying to cross the street. I hated it and I’m glad I don’t work there anymore, but I had little say in where I worked at the time.





  • This movie is less about being mad at Nazis and more of making you look deep inside yourself and ask if you wouldn’t have done something similar. It’s more about watching regular people live their lives and they just happen to be Nazis who are heavily involved in the Holocaust. A particular scene I think about a lot involves a board room where people are talking about seemingly normal business activities like funding and logistics. Except they’re actually talking about how to build Auschwitz… but it seems eerily similar to any normal business meeting you might imagine today. That’s what makes this movie so good and so different from most other Holocaust movies. Highly recommend.
