  • Doing
    I’m watching Travelers on Netflix after getting back from leg day at the gym. About to eat some pressure cooked chicken (tikki masala and tapatío as simmer sauce).

    Rather
    I suppose I’d rather be watching Travelers on Netflix after getting back from the gym… earlier, while stoned and hanging out with someone I was dating, but dating apps are the poo.

    Haha, 11p for me, not much variation available this time of night.

    Good show so far for SciFi lovers. Reminds me a bit of Fringe for some reason tho the storylines are nothing alike.






  • Scan the room left to right. Quickly. Do it 3-10x. Survey the people.

    Now. Go to the far left person, look at their head. Maintain eye to head contact for 3 seconds. Now with your mouth make a (bzzzrrr) noise and turn your head slowly to the next person. When you stop turning your head make a (kerthnk, zzp) noise. Do this for every person in the restaurant. You now have data on everyone.

    Next step, scan for exits, reposition yourself at the table so that your back faces the nearest structural wall, this will be useful if there is a fire fight. Turn your seat backwards and plant your feet far apart for maximum stability, also granting you the mobility to leap to your feet and dive through a window if necessary.

    I assume you are wearing leather gloves and a bandana, nod to yourself and squeeze your hands a few times to get the blood flowing.

    The server is here, order nuggies and a water. You’ll need your protein, but you are prepared.

    Go forth and conquer the world my child.


  • Yea, I didn’t realize it myself, someone pointed it out to me. That doesn’t mean anything is wrong with dark humor, I also like it, it’s just trickier than I realized. That’s what friends are for, we share perspectives.

    Thinking back on it, the first time someone shared this to me I was pretty dismissive of the idea. It took me a while to process it and come around. Unfortunately I never got to tell the person they changed my perspective because they were gone before I had the realization.


  • I used to be into dark, offensive jokes until like Dave Chapelle I realized that many of the people weren’t laughing at the ridiculous nature of the jokes but because they supported the offense against group X or Y. I felt gross to be part of that, so I mostly left offensive humor behind online. Now I stick to close-knit groups where everyone has a social awareness and understanding of what is over the line and we’ll call one another out when necessary.

    That said, it is something I enjoy, it’s just very hard to do well. I leave it up to Bill Burr and other comedians of that sort who can handle the nuance.

    I could just be old too, happens to the best of us.
