     🤨

387. The old guy who walks past my apartment window around lunch time most days throwing a yo-yo stopped long enough for me to get a closer look, and folks, it’s a Duncan Imperial in either white, cream, or, maybe even glow-in-the-dark (whoa)

388. becoming increasingly more and more immune to propaganda every time i wash this shirt

     

     

389. lots of people seem to always make infomercial counter-example errors when they try to achieve my personal goals, on account of two things: 1) their fundamental attributes 2) their not heeding my advice, or worse, taking other people’s advice.

     it won’t do.

390. ideology is a hell of a drug.

     

391. “You just listen to the old Pork Chop Express here now and take his advice on a dark and stormy night when the lightning’s crashin’ and the thunder’s rollin’ and the rain’s coming down in sheets thick as lead. Just remember what old Jack Burton does…”

413. [eating scrambled eggs after walking on shells bare foot after salt and peppering three eggs in the carton, which just bounces off the shells all over the counter, then picking them up, cracking them into the pan and tossing the shells over my shoulder] “I don’t get it!”

414. every magazine and paper of record rides (enjoys a great reputation amongst libs) or dies (enjoys a great reputation amongst libs that they resent having to defend) by their opinion board’s takes and when their opinion board’s takes are hot garbage for workers, they die.

     even “rich” people like me trying to buy a house here think flippers and landlords that Ellis Act our neighbors are scum

436. a lot of people hone their take skills by reading posts from the same 15 fools for years and remarking on their nonsense and I like their other takes so I put up with it but I use those posts to hone my nope skills and keep scrolling (I otherwise read every single post on the TL)

437. “all the other NPCs – but not you – are getting real annoying lately. here’s an out of context quote from a radical followed by a thesaurus word. if getting you to wish the other NPCs only thought about this for a sec doesn’t work, I’m all out of ideas.” is great reactiprop
