An excuse to add: The Bear Season 2 was one of my favorite seasons of television EVER. If it tickles your fancy even a little, do yourself a favor and watch it.
I paused after the fishes episode and didn’t go back for a good bit. I went back and finished earlier this week and it was well worth it. The last few episodes are awesome
They're a perfect 1-2 punch. One just breaks you down (I did NOT expect that--longest-feeling hour of television I can recall). Followed by the balm of Forks, which you've fucking earned.
This was me, exactly. I had predicted they couldn't do it again, but they really knocked it out of the park. Now, again, I don't see how they keep it going a third time at that level. I would love to be proven wrong again, but how?
I shined a torch in my wife’s sleeping face this morning at 5am.
I didn’t mean to, I was looking for my ear tunnel, it had fallen out in the night and I didn’t want to go a day at work with a cats arsehole for an ear lobe.
I looked for my spare ones first, I really didn’t want to be that guy, I’m a night person.
Anyway I sent her this and she had to remind me I was a bastard.
I was a big fan of the body modification scene when I was younger. Now I’m approaching my 40 my piercings have all been removed except these ear stretches.
Also they’ve been paying for stuff with their phones for years and years—on exactly what basis are they a cash society (though there’s nothing wrong with that)?
Yeah actually i think a steady flow of physical currency moving hands is a great thing. And with the large amount of cheap shops and vending machines they move cash around plenty.
But also i once bought groceries while waiting for a train in japan that involved selecting everything through an app paying ahead digitally and picking it up at a special location right outside the station.
Yeah like its literally the future we dream of complete with respect and re-use of goods that still work with a massive second hand market.
Japan is such an anomaly. They are certain ways that don’t exist anywhere else, that would be impossible anywhere else. If Japan didn’t exist, I wouldn’t have believed it could.
Yeah well you live on a small island that doesnt have much physical resources and has weird wildlife like murder lizards and glow in the dark jellyfish washing up on your beaches and see how your civilization turns out. LoL
We have a beautiful small Mediterranean Pine forest near my home. Filled to the brim with small black plastic bags filled with dog poop. I think I even took pictures of it once. Enjoy nature!
Lots of the bags are bio-degradable, so they will eventually, in some unit of months or years, break down.
Of course, its the same issue as chucking a banana peel. It fucks with the local environment and will take a long time to be “gone” if you just throw it into a forest and walk away. Enough people do that, and eventually you have a trail covered in shit and bananas.
Important point: “Biodegradable” plastic doesn’t biodegrade in the same way as something like a banana. It disinitegrates to the point that it is invisible to humans, but it introduces microplastics into the environment.
I’ve always put rubbish in my pocket and kept it until I can find a bin after seeing a Sesame street segment about it as a young kid.
But when I smoked I did sometimes drop my butts on the ground. Normally I would keep hold of them if I was near a public bin as most of them have ashtrays in the top I could dispose of them in.
Coincidentally I’ve noticed that l, at least locally to me, the council have replaced those bins with ones with no ashtrays which has definitely increased the number of butts on the ground. Wonder if having them is seen as encouraging smoking.
But sometimes if I wasn’t near a public bin I’d drop my cig, stub it out and leave it on the ground. I used to smoke hand rolled cigarettes with no filter, just tobacco and paper. I justified it to myself saying it would biodegrade but it still can’t have been good for the environment.
