    The Gen X (and previous gens) stare vs the Gen Z stare. Maybe daydreaming is a lost art? We didn’t have the constant access to stimulation via social media and the constantly connected internet. The Gen Z stare…no idea what causes that for some of them. Guess they can’t interact with you unless you’re a tiktok?

      I hope you were able to get sufficiently packed before your trip, and that it all goes well! 🤞

      I was going to say that the gesture would likely not have been recognized in the late 1800s or whenever this might be, but I was wrong, and flipping the bird was a known insult way back in Roman times, so I am not going to say what I was originally going to and today we learned.

          The two finger version of this originates in mediaeval Europe so it’s been possible to swear it people with your hands for a huge amount of history. It’s weird what we seem to prioritise.

        funny how the “offensive” stuff persists throughout time. fun fact- the word “rooster” was invented because people didn’t want to say “cock.” guess what word hasn’t gone away…

      It hits everyone that way. You aren’t unique… Unless you are “special” but if that’s special than how are your “confessions” any better?

      Le this

      Le that…

      No need to change shit…

      Le I am the laziest example any point a moron could make…

      Le ….

          Horrible meme format. In other words

          “Le… random expression because I can’t express anything…” [insert image]

          “I can’t do anything because X” Meanwhile the rest of the world still turns… regardless…

      Fucking right?

      3am on a Tuesday, I can’t possibly get anything done at this time, I have all of the collective motivation I’ve ever managed to scrape together in my entire life hit me all at once.

      Any other point in time? Fuck you, best I can do is a headache.

    Been waiting since some time in the early eighties. It’s going to come any time soon now, I’m sure.
