Well ok there are perhaps more than just a few, my point is merely that is a very nice experience.

Few things nicer than riding a city bus on a crisp autumn evening

CSIS said they were only looking for someone to gather Technical Intelligence at this time. I said I was only technically intelligent. They said welcome aboard.

cats are literally sniling

Nothing feels better than shutting the fuck up. I've already imagined saying it in my head, why get into the bother and mess of actually saying it.

A sturgeon is a fat little man that i care for dearly and also the most beautiful woman in the world

Is there an online register of different frog species' sounds that you would recommend?

There is no one good place to go, but

iNaturalist.org has a lot

xeno-canto.org just added frogs, and is probably the best in terms of data and UI

Macaulay library has some

FonoZoo is horribly built but has quite a few

Museum für Naturkunde Berlin's Animal Sound Archive is horribly built but has quite a few

Hope that helps!

A counterpoint to a common opinion I see here: I don't think there's anything wrong with the concept of laziness, because I don't think there's anything wrong with being lazy.

The sentiment of most posts about the concept of laziness is that it's not a good concept because the majority of people who are being called that are, in fact, trying quite hard all the time. Essentially, that calling them lazy is simply incorrect. And that may well be true! You also frequently see the argument that calling a person lazy is a terrible way to motivate them to do whatever it is you want them to be doing, and I think that's also probably true (but that's also true of all other forms of criticism).

But here's the thing. Neither of those arguments are really about whether or not there are lazy people, only that calling people lazy is generally not a great idea and that the external signifiers associated with laziness are inaccurate. That can be true while there still are, in fact, lazy people in the world.

I know this because I am one of those people. I'm very lazy! I want to live an easy, convenient life full of leisure activities. If I had all I wanted in the world I would spend every afternoon on a sunny patio sipping a Negroni with a good friend to talk to. I work exactly as hard as I have to in order to maintain myself, and I don't want to work any harder.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

sometimes i think about gay people who lived centuries ago who thought they were all alone who imagined a world where they could live openly as themselves who met in secret spoke in code defied everything and everyone just to exist and i’m like..i gotta sit down. whew i gotta sit down

Really says something about the dire state of offerings for men interested in sewing their own clothes that even searching things like "interesting men's clothing patterns" brings up articles with links to four or five whole websites that primarily offer admittedly nice but practically identical patterns for making button-ups and work pants and maybe a varsity/bomber jacket if you're lucky.

(Branching out into historical costuming for everyday wear is like your one shot at variation, and even then, the ratio of men's to women's patterns on every website is frustrating to say the least.)

Patternmakers as a trans man I am begging you. Give me a little more to work with here.

(Also, I'm curious about what poems people learned)

unfortunately i do believe posthaste is one of the funniest words out there. how quick am i doing something? fast as fuck my good sir

the advantage of only having basic and frustrating to use image editing software is that by the time I finish making an image to demonstrate my point I've usually realized that it's really not worth engaging at all.

anyways please just learn what brutalism is if you are going to attack or defend it online in public thanks.
