The break is over, christmas lights are coming down and menorahs are being put away. Holiday season is done. Haven't checked the radio yet, but hopefully gleeful music has died down for the year and we can listen to more overtly racist conservative radio. Don't get me wrong though, the holidays aren't terrible, they just last a bit long. I hope people celebrate my birthday for this long after I die- and I wasn't made up by bronze age scribes.
You know what doesn't make any sense? Pennies. With inflation at its current rate, nothing should ever have a price outside of multiples of 5 cents. When's the last time anybody carried around pennies intentionally? Pennies are virtually worthless. Let's remove the 'virtually' and move on.
Another mind-boggler: The numerous strings that allow you to open and close your blinds. On a standard venetian blind set, you've got one set of strings that flop around before they come together at the bottom. Put some fucking clamp or some shit on them in the middle at least! So when you attempt to use these worthless white pieces of shit, you end up pulling 2 out of 3 and the blinds end up all sideways and sh*t! Without a clamp they're about as useless as how-to-do-heroine pamphlets for drug addicts.
How about, since we can walk around on the moon and invent a thousand ways to control birth (...?), invent some fucking blinds with one string! If nothing else, put a couple of those little plastic things that are on the ends of shoelaces onto the damn strings to keep them together! It is honestly set up to fuck you over.
BTW, do ppl rly py ovr $1k fr hndbgs? Insanity. If I ever hear the words 'eghh, can you please buy me a coach bag for 9 grand this xmas eghhhhhh eghh egh hggh egh', I might go on an almost-killing spree (where you beat people just within an inch of their lives: of course). And yes, they'd obviously be making random 'egh' sounds throughout their speech. This is a characteristic that is consistently comorbid with the desire to pay for/own incredibly expensive BAGS . They are BAGS . Go to the grocery store, they're FREE . Go to your local nyc knock-off retailer, they're NOT A THOUSAND DOLLARS .
Oh yeah, and abbreviating everything simply because you are too lazy to type... it's not that bad. Just means you're a fuckface. And by fuckface, I mean when I do it it's OK (though it still looks ridiculous, particularly because presumably I actually have the time to type things out), but not overall. That brings us to another point-
Time to get deep. That's pretty common isn't it. Everybody makes exceptions for themselves. It's all ego defense, but either way a reality. When we hear something that someone did that seems wrong/stupid/embarrassing, we often are the first critics. But for ourselves, the opposite is true. Our excuses are relentless, and the humiliation unequivocally lands on us. Why can't we just handle it better when we make mistakes? Because we haven't yet matured enough as a species? Because somehow this characteristic helped us survive in evolutionary terms? Maybe it just isn't as common as it seems. But regardless- those of us, myself included, need to get better at being wrong.
But I'm right.100% of the time.
