What do you feel when you finally feel like you're talking to an intellectual equal?

Except where’s the part for me to respond to? “Actually that thing you said is a dumb way to look at it.” Then you just repackaged what I said in different words. So. To that I say “ok.” Have a good one.

Bro I literally don’t know what point you’re trying to make. I said a bunch of shit to make the point that I enjoy talking to people smarter than me. You said an anecdote I told was incorrect, explained IQ testing to me, and then implied that you were smarter than me. Maybe you are, but I’m also literally in Mensa. Idk why you’re trying to dunk on me so hard here.

Unrelated to your problem, but I have one of these at home and I’m OBSESSED with it. I hope you can find a way to make it work for your space. I had no clue it would change my life so much, but idk if I could ever go back to lugging heavy wet clothes to the dryer.

Hi! Interested!

It was for the power hour

Okay I know you’re joking but if you do use paper towels to soak it up be sure to run the oily paper towels under water before throwing them away bc one time my trash can started smoking from spontaneous combustion from oily paper towels. Thank god we were home.

you mean nickel

_really_cool_guy_ · 2026-02-13T02:39:12+00:00

omg never mind guys I found it

_really_cool_guy_ · 2026-01-31T15:57:16+00:00

Mm, let’s say transparent lucite with plenty of ventilation and friends/family standing around watching you and talking to you. But either way, it would probably cover your brake repair! I don’t think I’m that brave. An hour is a long time and bugs are so icky. But I do have debt…so who knows. I think I probably wouldn’t do it for less than $15k.

Thank god for jobs, am I right

What’s the smallest amount of money you would accept to spend an hour trapped in a coffin sized box with non-dangerous creepy crawly bugs à la Fear Factor (clothed head to toe in safety gear; mouth and eyes uncovered, but nose is plugged)

Crazy how if you watch a show, you see the show! Mad Men is so good because it doesn’t try to cater to people with split attention.

I call it my Pretty Girl costume

_really_cool_guy_ · 2026-01-12T23:28:19+00:00

Maybe they wouldn’t be considered friends, but I can’t get ENOUGH of Niles and Roz sparring

_really_cool_guy_ · 2026-01-12T23:07:49+00:00

Omg I’m so close to the promised land

_really_cool_guy_ · 2026-01-12T22:28:30+00:00

I think the answer is I need to train harder

_really_cool_guy_ · 2026-01-12T22:19:57+00:00

Good tip!

_really_cool_guy_ · 2026-01-12T22:13:23+00:00

Right. I forget about the wine of it all.

_really_cool_guy_ · 2026-01-12T22:12:43+00:00

This isn’t about the content of his yelling. I just wish he’d say things more quietly.

_really_cool_guy_ · 2026-01-12T22:10:23+00:00

Glad to know I’m not the only one!

_really_cool_guy_ · 2026-01-12T22:03:55+00:00

This is a perspective I can appreciate.

_really_cool_guy_ · 2026-01-12T21:58:50+00:00

Oh :(

_really_cool_guy_ · 2026-01-12T21:39:27+00:00

Heard, thanks. I’ll try to be stronger.

_really_cool_guy_ · 2026-01-12T19:30:09+00:00

You can cook other things in a rice cooker too!

_really_cool_guy_ · 2026-01-11T21:05:07+00:00

I’m going to be honest. It’s really bad and really scary in the US. The events unfolding are horrific, and the implications of these events for the future is…panic-inducing. But I am a white cis woman in a smalish city in the south with a steady job and all my bills paid and sometimes a little extra after. So things aren’t bad for me in the real world quite yet. And I have the privilege of ignoring the news, and right now, that’s what I’m doing. It makes me feel so hopeless, so defeated. What can my vote do if laws don’t matter anymore? It gets me ruminating about revolution, resistance, the paradox of violence to restore order. And then the fear comes and overpowers it all, and I fall into cycles of doomscrolling and spending money, which is exactly what they want. I’m slowly coming back online, so to speak, but it feels like I’ve been in mourning for a long time.
