my toddler hears the same songs all over the place (music class, exploration class, Ms Rachel show) but they’re all foreign to me. is this because everyone but me knows these songs? or did they invent new children’s songs since I was a kid that everyone has adopted?

your bank knows how you made every card transaction (swiped it, chip authenticated, apple pay, typed in PAN, etc). it surprises me no one (afaict) exposes this info! as a cardholder, I think about them all really differently and it would be cool to see that rolled up

honestly studying abroad was pretty traumatic for me because I had to be with like, normal college students instead of my incredibly small, hyper-nerdy school. make no mistake I will sink when thrown into that situation!

what is this temu?

just had an extremely embarrassing experience where I couldn’t figure out how to turn off my windshield wipers at the car wash

what a rich opportunity to examine: what is embarrassment? why do I feel like I should know how to do this? what will happen if I don’t?

it’s interesting when someone asks a question that indicates their entire frame of reference for the subject at hand is wrong

I’ll be speaking at graduation for my college this year - does anyone have any recommendations for a coach who can help me think through what to talk about and help write it?

It's 2022's funding squeeze with 2021's irrational exhuberance. Literally the worst of both worlds.

It isn't going to end well.

The funniest conceit of 'House, MD' is that, in the US medical system, if your problem is too hard to diagnose, there's a crack team of 150 IQ doctors who'll spend 4 days on your case until they solve it.

As opposed to *shrug* 'Have you tried diet, exercise and sleeping more?'

people criticize instagram saying it’s a highlights reel of people’s lives… but idk I like making a highlights reel!

could I make a video of me digging goat poop out of the crevices of my shoes? I suppose I could… but to what end? I am not looking to remember it, nor…

I am trying to Surf the Web and just read an article but I can't figure out how to get around all this shit, the X on the newsletter signup doesn't work, the 'Yes I accept' button on the cookie bar doesn't work, idk if this is a z-index problem or what but this is miserable

what’s your favorite way to have a hybrid home office / guest room?

are there any hide-a-bed sofas that are actually good?

I would love to do a custom murphy bed cabinet in the wall but not sure my ceilings are tall enough for it to make sense.

having a child means you no longer need to look for life lessons in obscure things. the lesson is now climbing and drooling all over you, smiling at you, screaming in your face, etc. eventually the lesson will want friends and want to live its own life and that too is a lesson

I was spending too much time on Facebook so I mostly stopped, ~2015, but now I kind of regret it. How could I have spent too much time keeping up with what my friends were up to? What a lovely thing to do

is there any better dollars to quality of life improvement ratio?
