I’m troubled by the suspicion many people I dislike have personal bunkers with plenty supplies, while those I care about don’t. That’s a big L for me, and W for persons I hate.
I think the most important point of such preparations is scrolling through kitsch art albums for these idiots have a negative value of taste. I imagine myself with a makeshift nailgun and a molotov observing another room and just losing my mind who the fuck could even want that shit in the first place. That leaves me pretty vulnerable and my revolt doomed.
Do people still light their cigarettes with matches though? I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen anyone even own matches outside of a survival kit lol
Some liquor stores will give you matches if you ask, for free. It’s not terribly common, but it’s helpful if you’re a smoker and your lighter runs out.
My grandpa used to keep cheap disposable matchbooks with him to light his pipe, the matches inside were basically paper, and I could never figure out how he lit them because every time I tried they would break or bend.
You hold the match with your index and middle finger, pinch the matchhead between your thumb and the striker, pull, and then just pull your thumb back before it actually gets hot.
Leaves you in a perfect position to block and wind with your palm/thumb. Just gotta be quick or you get burnt- or just have tough hands.
Then you just pinch the matchhead with your thumb/ring finger to put it out.
It took me a lot of practice back when I used to use them lol a lot of the time I would fold over the back of the matchbook and strike the match between the sides of the cover
I know a lot of people who use them to light their fireplaces, since you just kinda prop it in there and leave it, which is unwise to do with a lighter.
I’m sorry but you’ve been fooled. It’s not big cake, it’s actually big candle. Big cake was just a decoy for big candle so people would focus their attention on an invisible enemy while they destroyed peoples lives from the shadows. Tell everyone.
Isn’t this one of those sayings that has been reversed over the years? Wasn’t it originally to mean that misery spreads misery? Though maybe I think that because some abuse it as a, “smile more” type of vapid advice.
As someone who has thought similar to this in the past I would say it’s more about no longer worrying about things like how am I going to pay for a place to live, a car or other transportation, or caring for others with no job. I can imagine things may look better to them if someone hit the reset button on the world since they may have more of an opportunity to survive in the new world than in the current one.
Yarp i like being an adult, it’s the part about the world being poo and the assumption that it’s responsibility to fix it that I’m hatin’.
I’m fine with taxes but i should still have hopes! I should still get to do fun! It’s not fair that the fun got all sucked out! It’s all been sucked out! And it wasn’t even too terribly long ago.
I hear lots of stories (i bet y’all have too) from people who have worked any job for 10-20 years about how much more fun or at least laid back it used to be.
Being an adult should be fun. I should get to, with my adult freedoms, do the things i dreamed of as a child! I don’t need to have the white ferrari testarossa from Miami vice but i should have the house and a nice life where i can take a month or two off every year.
Yes i should Bygawad!
Ok to finish my very serious missive, It’s not being an adult that’s the sucky part, it’s definitely the poo world.
Hey move to Europe friend. I have 5 weeks vacation (going to negotiate for more this year) and bought my house 3 years ago. It was an arm and a leg to be fair but my monthly mortgage payments now are sub 1k for a family home.
My wife and I both work 40 hours but could drop to 32 if we really wanted and still be comfortable. Most families I know at least one partner works part time.
No, dolphins and porpoises are separate families. Orcas are with the dolphins. Porpoises are actually closer with other types of whales like belugas and narwhals. At least per the most widely accepted taxonomy.
All of these are classified as cetaceans though (infraoder, above family) and of course have a common ancestor if you go back far enough.
