bstix,

Road traffic works in mysterious ways.

Honestly, I just use the internet less. I’m never going to pay. I can’t be bothered with the loopholes anymore. If it bugs me to pay or subscribe, I leave. I’m fine with them not wanting me as a user, and I hope they’re fine with me not wanting them as a supplier. They don’t have anything that I actually need that badly.

Oddly enough I probably use the internet more than ever. It’s just not that internet.

bstix,

If the people I usually give this information to actually liked me, they wouldn’t be marking up the prices in the first place.

Walmart doesn’t just charge $4 for milk because it’s the market price or something. They do that because they fucking hate you and want all of your money.

bstix,

He tried to “starve the beast”. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starve_the_beast

The beast being the government itself. The idea is that the government is somehow overspending in comparison to the tasks carried out and it needs to be fixed by cutting funding.

The result is obviously that the government will function even worse, so it’s a self fulfilling prophecy.

bstix,

Because you’re afraid. Don’t be.

Look straight at that face and say to the person in the mirror: “Hey, you’re a pretty neat person”.

bstix,

I’m impressed that it only took a quarter of a dozen fortnights.

bstix,

It had another run in the news following her death last summer.

There’s nothing wrong with people TIL today, because she was right then and still is.

bstix,

Gentleman tossing the salad before the serving the sausage.

bstix,

Home ownership is for people who DIY.

I’ve fixed enough things myself to realise that most things are broken because the previous owners also fixed it themselves.

bstix,

That’s the ground. It’s probably not an issue.

I’d like to take moment to appreciate that Space Oddity was released 54 years ago and still hits my daily feed.

Bowie always presented himself as just some dude doing whatever he wanted to do, and while I never did much to seek him out, he still constantly pops up in my life in the most peculiar ways.

Hopefully future historians will be able to explain what he actually did, because I have no clue, but his influence obviously transcended the medium that he used for doing it.

bstix,

I either hate or love The Far Side. This one hits the spot.

I bought a really old house and some years later an old local guy came in (for completely different reasons), and asked “So you got rid of all the holes?”

And I go “What holes?”

“Yeah the owners some 30 years ago put holes in all the walls to run his train track all over the house.”

It explains a lot.

bstix,

It all looked like pills to me until I read the text. Couldn’t even see plates for a while.

Anyway, I noticed that the top right rectangular one doesn’t match the perspective when seen as face down. All the other ones are round, so they don’t insinuate a perspective at all. That’s why that plate is the key.

bstix,

It’s scrambled eggs in a bag.

They’re used in hotel restaurants, canteens, cafeteries etc. for making a uniform product when serving many people in a buffet.

It’s alright, I guess. Eggs are great for this kind of product.

It would be nice to save the plastic bag and just make actual scrambled eggs, which is about as difficult as opening the bag anyway. However in kitchens like in hotels where the staff is new every month, it’s an easy way to keep that dish from fucking up.

I was once at a 4 star hotel where a chef would cook each dish of scrambled eggs individually for each guest from a selection of additional ingredients and spices. Sure it was a luxury experience, but I could as well have eaten the bagged eggs and added some stuff myself if I actually needed mushrooms and peppers etc.

bstix,

I grew up with km/L.

I don’t mind using whatever scale, but it’s somewhat better for comparing the numbers that cars actually use, because with l/100km every car is five something or six something.

Also the higher numbers are better like everything else on the car comparison cards.

bstix,

The construction is amazing.

Like, if you’re gonna spend this amount of money or any amount of money on doing this, or any amount of time, fucking do it in a way that doesn’t rot in less than two weeks.

It probably looked great the day it was put up.

It’s London isn’t it? A crack user probably couldn’t afford to rent that plastic shed on top of a house.

bstix,

Something funny I’ve seen is that in Norway it’s customary to distribute the income tax deduction over 11.5 months instead of 12, so that in November or December people only get deducted half the regular tax on their payslip. This is done to ensure that everyone has money for Christmas. It’s so dumb and beautiful that I can’t help but love the idea.

bstix, (edited )

You shouldn’t have pointed it out at all. Now we have to come up with a better punchline.

Like: " Sorry kid, the bank does that"

bstix,

Only Satan would design a hole that is smaller than the end of a bent paperclip when the entire purpose of the hole is to put something into it.

bstix,

Reflections work differently for vampires.

bstix,

And then when they all believe, you change the rules because you accidentally spawned to many people.

God: “I can only save some of you!”

People: “How many?”

God: “Twelve…”

People: “Twelve?!? But there are many more of us”

God: “Times 12…”

People: “144?!? But there are still many more!”

God:“… thousand.”

People “Oh lord, I’m one of those 144000, right?”

God: “Of course you are my dear”.

Other people:“…but you already saved more than 144000 before we were even born?”

God:" yeah well, just believe me OK?"

bstix,

That’s what big cat wants you to think.

In reality, cats already ate the rodents, but now you have to pay them for doing it.
