Do people who make a group chat get offended when people leave the group chat?

The downfall of The Office started with humanizing Michael after the third season.

So am I tripping or does it seem like society in general, not even just younger folks, are just not as intellectually curious anymore? And no, im not even talking about just online because im seeing it among people that I know personally.

When your carefully crafted plans are fucked and there's no feasible solution except to watch everything crumble

Packing more antacids and antihistamines than vitamins and prescription meds for vacation. This is going to be five days of fried food, because there are literally zero other vegetable options other than onion rings, french fries, and iceberg salad.

The closest pizza place just replaced their delivery vehicle with a tesla. They're never getting my business.

It's so hot that when I drop icecubes into a room temp glass, the combo starts steaming

Remember the five years that I owned glass champagne flutes? I thought I was an adult but I really wasn't. It was like a 17 year old with a drivers license driving alone for the first time thinking they are an adult. Honestly I was more mature when I owned blue plastic champagne flutes from Ikea.

Everything is shit or covered in shit. So instead of dealing, I'm baking cookies.

Can the dumbasses pushing AI that we don't need fund the invention of instantaneous transport so that I don't have to take three flights and drive two hours in traffic to attend my annual family reunion?

Four different NPR programs covered romantasy today. I guess the editors just discovered it existed last week.

turns out the best bread for french bread pizza is, unbelievably, homemade french bread. none of this bakery ciabatta, storebought baguette, or white sandwich bread. bake your own mediocre french bread and raise the level of your french bread pizza to haute cuisine

having a job is the worst. like I can't drive 40 minutes at 11am for a milkshake because i need to like work?

can't. stop. sneezing.

time to go eat too much cake

I'm very impressed with people who go hiking without a bag. They just tuck their phone in their waistband, hold a small glass bottle in their loose fist, and walk up 17 stories on gravel in the sun without dropping their $1200 phone and their only hydration medium.

Sweet potatoes, meatballs, and cheesy bread is... a... dinner?

Shopping for items you need but don't want is so unbelievably exhausting I want to pass out also it's 93 degrees out
