Sitting still just feels empty.
Sitting still just feels empty.
can i ask which publication you read? i found many diff versions and am unsure which
This audiobook/radioplay of Ulysses is one of the greatest feats of literature, it is beautiful and freely available.

I don’t think you can go wrong with which print version you get personally, but I would recommend the Oxford edition.

When I was a kid and teenager there were a couple of people who somehow managed to get broken or sprained bones over and over and over again. Some of them really seemed to like the attention associated with it and would make sure they got into school even when they could’ve taken loads of days off
People even do this into adult life! What are they doing that leads to so many injuries??
I’m glad my “character design” is just that scar, though. My prescription glasses were scratched when this happened — without them I’d need to change my class from rogue to pirate! (I also got a small scar just above the lip, from the same event. But it’s usually hidden by the beard.)
I had bad acne scarring that really confused me because it actually looked like someone had taken a blade to my face a long time ago, and i was a bit miffed that i didn’t have a good story behind it 😮💨
Gotta agree with [deleted], it’s all about making some story up. Let’s say you fought a jaguar in the wild! (Or a cat if you want something more believable.)
Idk about that but my mom constantly talks about her going through two C-Sections (for my older brother, then me)… And like she literally showed me where they cut her open… as if it’s a battle scar…
like wtf mom… you told this story like 50 times… I just wanna chill and relax in my room okay… pls stop 😭
I find myself wanting to stare out of the window for at least 2 mintues straight, committing the whole view to my memory, for many spaces I’m in. The higher up off the ground it is, or the further you can see, the better it is.
If I don’t get my 2-5 minutes of window time the window will distract me every time I’m in that room. I’ll steal glances, convinced that something changed without me noticing.
We used to be in an 11th floor office on the water and the view out of those windows was like eating a piece of cake, it was so beautiful. And once at the job before that, the shipping manager came to laugh at me & my coworker, grown-ass women, because we were watching a construction crane out the window at work, we were both fascinated with it. Because it was fascinating!
I’ve always been really into clouds, so I get distracted fairly often.
But I think it’s really awesome to just look outside. I feel like people aren’t as keen to just absorb the world around them or to be curious about all that’s around us.
I stopped my partner on a walk recently to listen to the bees in the freshly blooming tree we were under. She said she never would have noticed.
I’ve gotten that same answer from others when I’ve said that I love walking through neighborhoods and smelling when someone is doing laundry. It just smells really good and it makes me feel good.
Am in the mood to listen to people talk
Yo, if any y’all want a nicely done, mostly wholesome TV show to get into, I highly recommend “Shrinking”.
Interesting characters, good story lines. Besides, who doesn’t love Harrison Ford?
Catch it at your local Arrrrrrrr source.
Not really, no.
Especially for the non-American lemmings, have you ever had a rice krispie treat? Are you able to make or buy these where you live?
I just ate one for the first time in many many years, and wow I forgot how delicious they are.

try “alfajores Mar del Plata” (this besch is not so great in comparison with Cancún, but the alfajores are the best of planet)
Cancún is full of sulfuric scented seaweed but I’ll ask about the alfajores Mar del plata
I used to dream of having my first sex only with a person I love, but it doesn’t seem possible, and I’m getting less and less concerned about it, I’m already fucking 23 years old, and sexual desire is the only thing that can motivate me to do something. but I don’t want to do that with anyone, I’m primarily interested in controlling the situation, safety and anonymity, and never seeing this man again. I don’t have such opportunities where I live, and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do it in the near future, but if I get to a major city, I’m sure I’ll do it. I’ve heard some positive stories from other people’s experiences about that, and I’m interested in your thoughts.
I think if it’s understood that it’s your first and you’re exploring, an understanding stranger can be a great ‘trial run’, but finding that person will take trust and patience. You control this.
I’m already fucking 23 years old
Cousin, that’s not old. That’s a perfectly average age to have sex for the first time. You don’t need to hurry.
You wanna argue about it? It’s a spoon..
Anyone want to chat with absolutely no bullying I won’t tolerate it and I will report you
Let’s chat here. What do you wanna chat about?
I like Rubix Cubes..
I spent several years at home in social isolation before I got my first job. I photograph people for documents (and do a few other things), and it can be unbearable. Some people genuinely have no idea what they look like, they’re often upset by their photos, and sometimes it turns into aggression towards me. One man was surprised by the asymmetrical shape of his chin and started shouting, “Do you really think I look like that?!” And what can I say to that? “You really do”? I just get nervous and try to find the words while he continues to talk rudely to me, as if I’d deliberately set the camera to distort his chin.
Then a woman brings her teenage daughter in for a passport photo, and they start arguing and yelling at each other about whether it’s better for her to have her hair down or not, and the girl doesn’t like any of the photos and can’t even explain what’s wrong, so we have to take several more, and they get increasingly irritated and start accusing me of that her cheeks too big and I should have told her to suck them in or position the camera somehow so her cheeks weren’t visible, or some other nonsense, like I’m a fucking wizard. I have a hard time dealing with situations like that, I often start mumbling and shaking, but it only seems to irritate them more, and they speak to me even more rudely, and then they just throw money on my table in annoyance and leave, and I sit there and try to compose myself for another half hour. I’ve been brought to tears several times already.
Some of them are insanely arrogant and rude people.
One woman sent me a link to some documents to print, but the link had expired, I showed it to her and asked for a new link, she said her son had sent the link and that it worked on her phone, I showed her again that the link wasn’t working and that it had probably just expired, but she kept insisting that it worked on her phone. I told her I couldn’t print anything for her, and she said, “what if I call your employer?” lmao. I had to take her fucking phone and call her son to send a new fucking link. And there were a lot of similar moments.
It’s not uncommon for them to claim that I said something I didn’t say or didn’t do what they asked, and so on. I’ve cried so many times because of this job, and I think I’m starting to hate and fear people more and more, but I’m not sure I can find a better job where I live.
And so you self-justify dehumanizing an entire region and subculture, not at all like those savage Israelis or conservatives, who see only their ingroups and outgroups.
They have their in group. I just have me. My priority is self-defense from predatory in group behavior. And sometimes I just like to vent, they don’t listen to or care about my existence as anything other than their personal punching bag. Sorry if that bothers you.
I’mma shrink the sun so I can steal it for my personal use xD
(Also no, vitamin d supplements does not work as good as sunlight)
Some dudes in the 1940’s were working on some Gadget that would do that.
They never managed to get a sustained reaction, but I hear some good work’s being done in China on that front…
Take vitamin d.
