The internet is literally the worst place to be on Valentine's Day.

 

Then again, the internet is usually the worst place to be on any day.

im gonna put a union flag on my car and call it the General Grant

[Xteven Xavier]

Where else would you go on valentines. That day always sucks

[kspr]

there "used to be" a gloryhole place up the highway from me. i say used to be because i haven't wanted to find out

[Xteven Xavier]

Yeah, specially not today, imagine all the gay.

True enough. If I didn't have a cat to feed, I might have just slept in all day today.

I pretty much slept all day today. Well, a good chunk of it. I loooove sleep.

I'm mostly just trying to keep myself busy today. Seems like a good day to finally clean my room and get some ponies sewn

(...incrementally).

[Xteven Xavier]

Yeah I worked for a good chunk but I have to make myself stay up til 5 am cause I go back to closes tomorrow so I wont get out of work till like 4 am on sunday

[legacyme3]

Sleep sounds good, but I have to stay up to feed my cat again in an hour or two.

 

She eats like a fucking pig.

[SpazCat]

She's huge!

What breed is that

[kspr]

that's a maine coon i think, they're all fluff.

 

 

I just paid $2.50 for one guy to grow half a tomato, a quarter potato, 14 chops of celery, and some chickpeas, while another guy raised a cow for beef and killed it so i could get a quarter ounce of it, along with 16 ounces of water that another guy poured into a big stew pot. then, some other guy a thousand miles away dug some iron out of the ground, and gave it to some other guy on a truck to go to a mill, so a dozen other guys could make it into aluminum coils, which yet another guy takes on another truck to another assembly plant where 800 guys in hairnets make them into cans, so they can be shipped by the truckload from sugar creek arkansas to paris texas to be filled with soup so that some guy can put it on a truck, and it give to a guy on a forklift, who can give it to another guy on another truck, who takes it to walmart for some guy to put on the shelf where i buy it, and put it in a basket to be scanned by some other guy, and put in a bag made on the other side of the planet.

 

tl;dr money goes a lot farther than i thought

[Xteven Xavier]

I never thought about it that way, that's crazy. And not at all cost effective.

[BottomGuy]

But those aren't one-to-one purchases. You aren't the only one using the products from that cow. Still, your money is going a long way. You paying a few cents plus a bunch of other people and companies doing the same did pay for that cow. Collective effort baby.

The Helix Fossil says it, so it must be.

 

I got a laugh out of this. And it made today instantly better, so it was worth it!

[legacyme3]

I was paid an awkward backhanded compliment today.

 

I was bored, as I usually am, and I decided to message some people I knew a while back.

 

One of them in particular had a conversation with me that stood out. Rather than give all the details, it boiled down to how he's shocked nothing is going right for me lately, because of how "intelligent, and talented" I am at numerous things. This is where the compliment ended however, and it turned a bit more ugly, to the point where he said that I need to get some "fucking direction and motivation because it'd be scary to see what good you could do if you weren't such a lazy bum."

 

On the one hand, I feel very nice that someone views me as worthwhile.

 

On the other however, I'm pissed he essentially called me lazy even though I've been trying to get moving, somewhat.
