people who go outside with zero spatial awareness. if youre going to walk slow, stay to the side. if you go up to get a closer view and take a pic, gtfo once ur done so others can get closer

they just wanted to save everyone the embarassment of being -40 minutes late to work

incredible overview thank you. can i ask what field you’re in? techs getting grim so im not sure if i should double down or just give up and get an mba

i used to be so anxious and shy i could hardly say a word to my best friends from childhood. you embarrass yourself over and over till it starts to get a little easier. now i can talk to a group of people i dont know well with only a little anxiety

i like to read philosophy. buddhist, islamic, hindu, european. doesnt matter. you can find stories of people going through the worst shit imaginable and finding peace. gives me hope

howd you get around to moving to japan? hoping to move internationally, not necessarily japan, but always wondering how jobs/visas/etc worked for people.

rich people vote to keep themselves rich. cant not be rich when you buy $250 workout sets and drink powdered, overpriced _juices

my favorite switches all the time. currently obsessed w chamomile, thai assam, hojicha (roasted green), and also earl gray! tho we make london fogs w lavendar mostly

thank god i had my adblocker on. didnt even realize :/

all you need to know, really

fireworks are one of the most harmful, resource-demanding form of shitty entertainment we have in the modern age. i hope drone shows catch on in the usa. could have wayyyy better shows, no noise, and theyre reusable

you clearly dont live in the usa our food is poison

some counties also have “no wrong number” programs, so if you can get a call to, say, the health department, they can redirect you to better services

i wouldnt hesitate to reach out to family down south as they may be most able to legally help you. i would not call the cops, they are useless. hunt for shelter and other hotlines, ideally chats if the walls are thin!

honestly theres hardly been any snow the past few winters :/ who knows what it could be this year. city roads will be plowed, you will have to shovel your own driveway if you hope to drive out of it unless you hire a snow plow. if youre in a neighborhood like my parents, people may pitch in to get their driveways plowed by the same company for a better rate. shoveling sidewalks isnt mandatory but some people (me) consider it polite so people can use it. if you have a dog and are like my dad, you may also find yourself shoveling out little patches of grass for the dog to do their business.
