Overheard at the bike shop for why someone is bringing his bike in for service: “It shifts like a Wal-Mart...”

Possibly the best indicator of mild (cold/flu) levels of unwell is one's growing inability to fight against autocorrect.
If you fyi yourself taking about nonsensical things age don't have the will to fig it, go back to bed.
Important reminder: fruit bats are awesome
That is all
Exercise is a really effective antidepressant. I walked four blocks, bought a bunch of meat pies, and walked back and just the walk has made me feel quite a lot better than I have been. (no, I haven't eaten the meat pies yet, and no, i do not take enough advantage of living in walking distance of a British delicatessen)
I hate being depressing and stressful to deal with. I’m sorry I’ve been so negative lately, I’ll keep working on changing my focus.
mental health
I don’t feel dysphoric enough or socialist enough to feel welcome in the social spaces I’m most closely associated with

Artist: So, uh, I've got this sketch of a demon at a synthesizer keyboard for the heavy metal slash new wave band I never quite got together
Writer: Excellent, just stick it on a dot matrix printer and add a paper trail streaming out from Earth like it's a rocket
Artist: I dunno man, I mean this is computer hardware you're selling not LSD
Writer: It's the 80s, same thing
I deleted Twitter off my iPhone and it reinstalled itself ಠ_ಠ

#meta #tea: Remember, from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that machine that "invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea"?
Only decades after reading that, in an office in another country, did I first meet an older British "tea" machine. It could, in theory, produce chocolate, coffee, or tea; but invariably delivered a cupful of brown liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike any of them.
And I said, "Oh THAT'S what he meant."
I’ve gotten myself into a match of this iOS game called “Subterfuge”, which is apparently a relative of Diplomacy that plays out in real time over a week. I’m not going to last two days, it’s going to be *awesome*
Zeroth-world problems: work has a plentiful supply of free breakfast sandwiches but no mayonnaise
All those “type a thing and let your phone text predictor finish it” memes come out really depressing for me. Apparently my phone has discerned that the most likely thing I am to do in approximately any situation is to beg for forgiveness for my perceived inadequacies and for being busy at work. 😐
With the “super courier” rules instead of “shop everywhere”, Turbo Mode feels a lot more like DOTA. A weird, silly game of DOTA where everyone comes online way too easily, but DOTA.
