leaving aside the toxic narrative that romanticizes mental illness as some essential fire to the creative process, creatives (so like artists, writers, musicians, etc) are definitely more prone to mental illness right? like there just objectively is a (value-judgment-free) correlation there?

(no shade to my mostly-mentally-healthy creative brethren or my mentally-ill-but-not-particularly-creative brethren)

recently I've come to the conclusion that I bought the wrong motorcycle, and now I need to sell it to be able to buy the right one.

Update on the construction happening near my house. The jackhammers were only used yesterday and stopped in the afternoon. It turns out it's not road construction - thank god. A neighbor is doing something on his lawn and driveway. Road construction in my state goes on and on and on. I just took out the garbage and I heard angry yelling coming from the workers.

"I told you not to [unintelligible]! But you(?) [unintelligible]!"

"I did what you [unintelligible]! [unintelligible and angrier].

It was simply too noisy where I was to make anything out. I wanted to eavesdrop but the only way I could would be to pretend I had to walk down the street and I figured they'd just stop yelling.

Did you know that the first account of a flying saucer didn't describe the UFO as being shaped like a saucer, but rather described the object as flying as if someone had thrown a saucer and it was skipping across the water. Our entire cultural understanding of what a UFO is was shaped by someone misunderstanding the first witness account.

it's so hot i can hardly think straight, why is this the busiest week of work i've had in months

Far cry 4 is an Assadist game.

My New Character. His Whole Deal Is He’s a Chill Towel That Lowkey Doesn’t Give a Fuck and Likes to Get High

my boss leaves over a week ago

CEO goes on vacation for a week without telling me what the plan is

He comes back and says he's taking over my boss's role until we get a replacement

Says it'll probably take a while to find someone

I do not like this very much

there are members of a DSA caucus that are legitimately mad at and talking about filing a grievance against another DSA member for calling them crackers on twitter. there's no joke I could make that's funnier then the situation itself

the is so funny nerds, i cant never get too angry at them

Danganronpa but phoenix wright is there and he just straights up proof Monokuma is guilty of the murders and Monokuma executes himself.

This just in: I have personally given Iran a nuke.

You're all welcome.

What if there was a fakenews comm, but the fake news posted was literally just current news headlines but reversed?

"American bombers drop bunker busters on Iran"

could become:

"Iranian bombers bomb the United States" (reversal of actors)

"American bombers don't bomb Iran" (simple negation)

"America signs non-aggression pact with Iran to not drop bombs on Iran" (completely opposed to reality while adding an element of irony)

I say it would be quite hilarious, imagine seeing a headline on a post like: "The USS Nimitz is still afloat and operational in the Persian Gulf" Then looking in horror to see on what comm it was posted. Bonus points if the comm icon is a black and white picture of an American politician looking at a newspaper and the comm name is something like "newsn't".

can't tell if this is one of the best or worst weeks of my life, but boy am I alive

sincerely, what the fuck

thinking about the good ol' days, when women were titanium and men were radioactive

If I bought a worthless piece of land in the middle of nowhere for next to nothing at an auction just for the hell of it, is there anything I could do with it? Build a tiny factory? Farm 3 stalks of corn?

Edit: it is actually a house in a tiny rural town
