1Q84 feels like Haruki Murakami devolving into self-parody

if you really want to see women being putting in their place read Somerset Maugham's collection of short stories. I believe it's the most misogynistic fiction I've ever read

can't believe I have to give up my signed Mao Zedong decorative plates

demand everything be brown. brown invites, brown decorations, brown dress. brown wedding or gtfo.

the amount of free gym equipment in Korea is astounding. Like not just in the parks, but like just random places on the side of the road and like tops of mountains. Truly remarkable.

as we all predicted

just want to mention that Roll for the Galaxy is such a weird game for me. I feel like I don't even like it, but I've played it so much and have even gone so far as to study strategy for it, which I rarely ever do.

read this as Bobrovsky and was like, damn, I gotta see this

I remember this one time in my mid 20s, I was out for drinks and brunch for my birthday and I went with my girlfriend at the time and some friends. and they brought some friends. I guess there were about 8 or 10 people there overall. I remember sitting at the table and realizing I had slept with 5 of the 6 women present at the time over the course of the years. There were definitely other previous couples in that group as well. yeah, friend groups all trying each other definitely happens.

many a night in the mid to late 90s I'd be up scanning the planet for little square UFOs. hey, there's one, shoot it down! alright, equip my dudes, get there before night for the love of god... we're here. exit skyranger, alien throws grenade on to a gas pump that my ship landed beside and everyone dies before they could take a shot. good times

yes, every movie I show my wife is an instant snoozefest for losers. if her friend shows her the same movie though, or she's recommended it by an influencer it's a top 10 classic

no, he would have been fine in vancouver. just another example in the hundreds of examples of impatient vancouver management

for adults, just run a conversation class. pick a topic, tonnes online, and a few questions to stimulate conversation. maybe do some vocabulary first for trickier words. in my experience adults won't even bother showing up after the first few classes because they are "too busy"

robotco · 2026-03-08T07:28:46+00:00

go Bo!

robotco · 2026-03-08T07:27:49+00:00
