The waiting room. I hate when they make you wait in the room. 'Cause it says “Waiting Room.” There’s no chance of not waiting. 'Cause they call it the waiting room, they’re gonna use it. They’ve got it. It’s all set up for you to wait.

• Famous quote from the Fediverse’s favorite frenemy entertainer, I guess.

If you have Javascript turned off, Reddit still sets cookies without asking.

Squeeze! squeeze! squeeze! all the morning long; I squeezed that sperm till I myself almost melted into it; I squeezed that sperm till a strange sort of insanity came over me; and I found myself unwittingly squeezing my co-laborers’ hands in it, mistaking their hands for the gentle globules. Such an abounding, affectionate, friendly, loving feeling did this avocation beget; that at last I was continually squeezing their hands, and looking up into their eyes sentimentally; as much as to say,—Oh! my dear fellow beings, why should we longer cherish any social acerbities, or know the slightest ill-humor or envy! Come; let us squeeze hands all round; nay, let us all squeeze ourselves into each other; let us squeeze ourselves universally into the very milk and sperm of kindness.

(Herman Melville, Moby Dick)

It is really some of his better work, and that’s saying something since u/lukmly013 has never created a single meme that is compromised, shameful, made for simply pragmatic reasons, or uninteresting. Even his failures are spectacular due to his Wagnerian treatment of subjects. I read a quote somewhere where, ironically, he once said he considers his prose and poetry writings as having more enduring value than his memes.

Bingo. Trump already started playing with his corporate finger puppets, emboldening some, threatening others.
Same reason Zuckerberg, surely the expert on the matter, had this weird rambling about “masculine energy” very recently. What a Trumpian phrase.

Take me on

Yeah, we must be careful as to not muddle the waters here. Employees want 32 hour weeks while bosses are trying to give them 40 hour weeks, shoehorned into four days, instead, to “improve efficiency.” These two are not the same.

I had to sit through multi-day workshops that could have been a one-liner.

Call my name through the cream then.

One million trees equals two double burgers with cheese

Aaah, the 90s were so optimistic.

Little did doingthestuff know that from the 3rd meal on, they will not let you drive or operate heavy equipment.

Mail Fraud? You’re in a lot of trouble, buddy.

Well, on the surface, it’s just 60-3, so clearly divisible by 3 itself. Now 221, that’s some fuckery.

Greenland is just the low-hanging fruit, an easy target. Something for the masses at home. Taking it won’t take an afternoon. In fact, they’ll just show up, plant a flag, next to it a “No Danes” sign, then call it a day. Then make a biiig celebration of it at home so everybody is distracted while they irreparably dismantle American democracy.

Funny you should say that. Near the end of WSB’s 1953 novel “Junkie”, IIRC, the main protagonist complains that he doesn’t understand the slang of the new generation anymore. For example their use of “that stinks!”

You can buy puff pastry, ready to be filled, in stores. We used to do that a lot. Just blend all scraps and spices we could find around the kitchen, put them into the pastry, shape it and bake it in the oven. Totally delicious.

Oh look, it’s male Anna Kendrick.

Years ago, I read an interview with Leonard Cohen who, as you might remember, became a Buddhist monk. He stated that in the monastery, you’re free to do pretty much anything - in your free time. Listen to rock music, take drugs, no-one cares.
It’s just that you don’t have any free time because every day is 100% structured.
