And heartless people have hearts. So?

Makes me picture American lying comatose in a hospital bed with Canada hooked up to its arm like an IV bag.

I’ve eaten them before, and they’re basically leaves. 2/10. Would not recommend.

Getting a better handle on your attention

How would you recommend doing that?

Get it on video. Every time you play it during his adult years, he’ll die inside a little more.

I find the way he presents himself to be fairly grating, but his recipes can be good. His corner shop curry method is now my preferred way of making curry at home.

What if they rap it?

I said out loud at a Warhammer convention that space marines are just dolls for grown men.

The fact that planes are kept in the air by the shape of their wings, which forces air to go over at a pace when it can’t push down on the wing as hard as it can push up from underneath. It’s like discovering an exploitable glitch in a videogame and every time I fly I worry that the universe will get patched while I’m at 10,000 feet.

putting leeches on people

We still do that. Leeches are surprisingly useful when treating certain blood clots. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I have a thick rope of muscle in my mouth that I can control accurately enough to speak with, swallow with, and dig popcorn fragments out from between my teeth with.

Just one of nature’s wacky solutions that applies to more than one problem. I should be grateful it doesn’t have thorns on it.

I believe I’ll find myself headed for a low dive to meet with the boss and his right-hand men. There’s business to be done and it’s time to pay the vig.

(It’s our weekly D&D session. I’m bringing snacks.)

She was a manager who bullied a handful of people out of their jobs. She tried it on me as well, but I was an outside employee on site to do tech support and my manager and company backed me up. Still a horrible time in my life.

The weird thing is, even after her bosses figured out what she was doing to her staff and put her on a short leash with restrictions on what she could do or say, she still kept it up. Maybe it was compulsive behaviour. A little while later she suddenly announced that she was leaving to start a business as a life coach(!) so reading between the lines it was probably a case of quit or be fired.

I bumped into her again and she was working as a kind of HR manager for students at a university. But I also just checked her Linkedin page and it looks like she’s doing life coaching again. This is a small industry and word gets around so if there’s justice in the universe, she’s been black-balled.
