  • I got a kind of funny story with regards to these…

    My girlfriend’s Brother’s family are nudists. Well, casually. Among their family is a teenaged boy. He got targeted by some bad people on the internet who did not know about their family being nudists, and tried to extort him after getting him to send them naked photos.

    Kid just laughed it off and told them he didn’t care. Told his parents. They reported it. All done.

    Having once been a teenager, and seeing how damaging these campaigns have been towards young kids, respect to that whole family and that kid. 👊


  • To give an example of why everyone is confused…

    There’s a dead horse pinned beneath a flaming tree on a wet ground. Occam’s razor would tell us the tree fell on the horse after it was struck by lightning.

    An eccentric explanation would be that the horse was cold so it went to the store to buy a lighter and a tank of gas, lit the tree on fire. The fire scared the horse so it dumped buckets of water in the tree, but it was too late. The flames caused it to fall on the horse, which killed it.

    Do you see why there is no such thing of an eccentric example of Occam’s razor? Occam’s razor is the idea that least eccentric explanation is what probably happened.




  • Sometimes between 25 and 40, you’ll realize you “can’t drink like you used to.”

    From here, you’ll almost never be out til last call again. Certainly not without regrets. And it’ll dwindle to where you’re learning to cook instead of asking the Uber driver to swing through McDonald’s on the way home.

    You’ll find you’re amid a new hobby, and an old hobby is in the rearview.

    Welcome to midlife. You’re probably as old as your parents were when they had you, if not older.

    It’s probably not on twitters archive anymore. Back in like, idk, 2011? 2013? Kenny Powers (@KFUCKINGP) tweeted the most beautiful tweet to this sentiment.

    “I smoke weed when I smoke weed, bitch. Not on some fuckin day in April.”

    And since it’s likely been lost to time and poor management, I wanted to share it with you all from memory.
