I hate planes over trains in the EU. I swear trains feel faster because it's central to central too. There's no travelling out to an airport a couple hours before takeoff, sitting around waiting at an airport or on tarmac either. Oh, and actual leg room, comfort, and can easily move around.

I think it's the drop of responsibility too. You get to drop your usual oned and because you're doing something you don't normally do, there's less stress if something goes wrong. It's like a nice little holiday.

That sounds like a job I'd gladly pick up to avoid other work lol

No, I like them. Especially classic Red Hook street style. But I know what they are not and I know that I will only find disappointment in someone putting something on my plate at that price and try tell me it's a burger.

Yeah, we know. Is the FBI now just the FB?

Maaaaan. If only I were rich and living in the US. It's a new frontier of snake oil.

Just get in His Majesty's good graces and go to town.

That's the joke at the comedy show where the crowd lets you know they're enjoying the set, but went too far.

The shaking head to face palm while smiling, "Fuuuuck. Went there.,"

The $25 burger is shit.

Burgers, in general, are shit.

What makes them good is the bang for buck. The concept is in their design. Some good shit between buns, allowing it to be consumed faster than a traditionally segmented dish. If you have time, wallet, and dignity, you take the dish. If not, you just get the chef to shove it between buns and serve it up.

If a burger is not doing those things, it is not a burger. It is a shit burger. Arguably it's so shit, it's an expensive burger-themed dish.

I don't hate or love burgers. I'm just a realist.

Prophecy implies the Antichrist would be polling much better.

But also, the middle-eastern man named "John" had no fucking idea what the fuck America even was when he wrote all that. And it's a very young religion too.

Yeah, right.

They've been saying this for years...

"Scientists" alright? Pff

lights a cigar with a barrel of crude oil

Idiots.

I'm an extrovert that has years of experience with this scale of furniture between dorms and share houses.

This is efficient.

If someone offered help, I'd accept it and tell them where the desk is.

 

I was wondering when people consider themselves to have a new PC. Technically I've had the same PC for close to 20 years now, but every part's been upgraded several times over.

I figure everyone's got a different mind about it. For me, I'd have to say when all of the big three—CPU, GPU, mobo—have completed a phase, my brain thinks of the previous setup as "the old PC".

A great modern cover of Alanis' 90s classic.

I'm back in Australia and, thanks to friends, have immediately fallen back in love with the music that cooks down here. There's something about this country...

I'll be off again soon, but I'm addicted to the people and culture. It's a romance no other country has ever come close to... Except Holland....and Greece.. .Okay, just Holland.

If you've ever wanted to go outside to touch grass, just to remember you have allergies.

One of my favourite lyricists and songwriters in general.

Affectionately known as "the band you never heard of that made U2 famous" since Bonno relentlesly stole their sound with zero credit, Ed Sheeran style.

Adrian Borland's solo recordings are amazing too on Eliot Smith levels. RIP to both of them. Check out Walking in the Opposite Direction for a song that summarises his life.

Wil's song from the perspective of Laika. The first living thing to orbit our little earth.

 

Since the update, hitting the tick to mark messages as read in the inbox seems to misbehave. It's like it's marking the wrong messages. If I go in a different order, it works, but tapping the comment directs to the wrong posts, assuming of those that were in their slot before marking them off.

Does that make sense? It doesn't make sense. This might need to be a screen recording thing lol...

At 2:20, I catch myself doing these ones...

...and the gif gets in my head. Normally I just bop or gurn. Mmmm gates.

 

I'd encourage you to shut your eyes and listen to the musical talent and amazing lyrics—take them in depth. Then play it again and watch the excellent claymation film clip.

 

May as well have some Greek psychedelic rock from 1972 going solo ham on a religious narrative, right?
