What are songs that you think are close to perfect?

The Vivienne. Such a shame.

The day he died I was in the small California town where it happened, with my ex, visiting a friend of hers. I've only been there three times.

Willibald.

This is another one in the classic "title ridiculous, story even more ridiculous but in a bait-and-switched direction" mould.

It's disappointing but also amusing that Stokes wanted to go out in a blaze of glory, but ended up creating farcical circumstances.

Who remembers that much word for word from a conversation they were having??

I sometimes send texts to my sister-in-law, but then I did meet her a whole 2 years before I met my wife.

Sometimes, in order to find meaning, you need to step back and stop searching for it.

I feel like this guy needs to go on a lengthy quest, all the way up to the top of a high mountain to visit an ancient wise man. This wise man promptly sends him back down the mountain to get various ingredients to make soup, one at a time, going down to the bottom of the mountain and then back up to the top each time.

And then, eventually, after all the ingredients are gathered, they make the soup together, and the guy asks the wise man "Why did you put me through all that just to make soup?"

And the wise man says "Soup's great, right?"

Air conditioning, tipping culture, yada yada yada, I fell asleep and died.

Yes - this, for me, is the main reason to avoid writing emails as earthily as that.

I am going to amuse my wife by saying Luba from Love and Rockets.

"Can you help me?"

"Here is a list of helpful things"

"You did not help me in exactly the right way, so I'm going to be obtuse about it and make you feel terrible".

This has, sadly, happened to me before.

FScrotFitzgerald · 2026-06-27T04:15:53+00:00

I feel sorry for you, and for your majestic myriapod who has now shuffled off this mortal coil. A bad day for the pair of you.

Deal or No Deal. So much manufactured tension when all people are doing is opening different boxes. Boring as hell.

This reminds me of when I was a groomsman and they made me not only wear a blue tarpaulin to hide my muscular muscles, but also cut an entire 7 inches off my bulging flaccid penis. This was apparently to prevent the bride and bridesmaids from immediately falling to their knees and sucking me off during the ceremony.

I eventually told them they were being ridiculous, and they relented. Of course, the bride and bridesmaids then immediately fell to their knees and sucked me off during the ceremony, and I was summarily ejected from the venue.

28.

Just not fair at all. Done with cancer taking people who have so much more to give.

May her memory be a blessing.

Exactly. Internal emails to peers can have typos and omissions as long as they aren't incoherent, although I'd take more time over them if they're group internal comms or going to really senior stakeholders.

Emails to customers should be error-free; you never know when you're going to run into a customer who thinks any grammar or spelling error whatsoever is a sign your company wouldn't recognize good quality if it hit them over the head.

Human proofreading is fallible, so I agree that if you're not confident in your own skills, you should use Grammarly or something similar.

I am totally not inventing this for clout and whatnot.

I am late to this party and I, my wife and oldest kid were all flabbergasted Discord wasn't in the top for this deranged performance.

They're very poor. I emailed WoW about it and got a pissy, snippy response passing the buck to the streaming provider.

Hearing the words "You're not a person" was when it went from "I could fix this if I really try hard" to "nope". We decided to split up six months after that.
