– oOoOoOoOoOoO I’m speaking to you from seven days… IN THE PAST! OoOoOoOoOoOoOo
– have you ever forgotten what it feels like to be sick? like, it’s been SO long since you’ve been sick, that you forgot what it felt like. and when was the worst you’ve ever felt?
– why do people insist on adding too many things to soup?
– uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck

– fuck 75hard. I mean I want to be thinner and stuff but I also want pizza. and to sleep instead of work.
– an unorthodox example of a hot topic could be the recent surge in popularity of niche hobby or interest. for example, there has been an increased in interest in “plogging” (a combination of jogging and picking up litter), which has led to organized plogging events and even plogging competitions in some areas. another example could be the recent trend of people building their own tiny homes and living in the full-time, which as led to a growing movement and discussions about alternative housing options.
– the moment when you realize lunch is about 30min out and you have no plans, you order a sandwich from a local place down the road and after an extended call you check back on the status of your order…and you see the driver leaving your neighborhood (like i can hit his house with a rock from my house) to go get the food. its 15 min past your lunch start time….not sure where i was going with this… WHATS YOUR FAV LAST MIN FOOD FOR LUNCH? (there we go, Naild it.)
– RAFE IS LAZY.
– what is the longest plogging session you’ve engaged in? and do you prefer being the plogger or the ploggee?
– ketchup is a garbage condiment. discuss!

– if you are a low level peon working in a financial role and they decide to just dump all the responsibility of the multi billion dollar companies 1099s on you are they confident in your abilities or looking for a scapegoat they can tie a rock to and watch drown then blame for all the companies failings?
– dani is the best, ever, of all time
– why can’t our species, like, hibernate?

HOT HOT TOPICS
– the classic xmas movies – are they really that classic or is nostalgia just super heavy this time of year?
– as crappy as things can be, we aren’t completely boned.
– nah, we’re completely boned.
– I wish to see our government grow a few braincells and realize that a life insureance policy that is focused on making sure your family can put you in the ground without having to beg on social media is not a money gaining scheme and stop screwing over folks who require gov aid to live.
– in the long line of “good ideas” where do you put “coming to the ugly christmas sweater themed christmas party in a skimpy dress and loudly complaining that the person you want to sexually harass isn’t there”?
– how do you survive being one of like three sober people at a company christmas party?
– “elf” is getting worse and worse on how it holds up. back in the day as a kid it was the bomb. but it’s started becoming cringe more and more as the years go by.
– how is it somehow everyone elses fault but yours when youmake the choice to NOT read the packet of info detailing the $40 monthly payment you just signed up for and suddenly you realize that there are problems with it?
– 2022 was a year full of really shitty things that happened. it also was the year in which I experienced some of the best moments of my entire life. formal request for 2023, more of the latter, less of the former. pretty please and thank you.
– if you can’t beat them, why would you join them? that just sounds like bad philosophy. imagine if hitler won ww2.
