My favorite grandmother is here and she's already said like 8 racist things
This is very confusing as for like all of my life she was the hip, not-racist grandmother but for some reason like two years ago she just did this crazy left turn and now she's starting conversations about how "it was so nice and weird in Boston, we were in this area and it was mostly black folks and middle easterns and we thought we'd need to go back to our Airbnb early but, even in the evening it was very nice, all the houses were very well kept and everyone was so welcoming! You wouldn't get that at home!" While I sit slack jawed
haha i read this and i was like, this is literally the most mild old person racism ever, i wish all old people in the world were exactly that racist
Well yes but it's still not good
oh yeah my bad i ain't mean to minimize. just happy imagining progress from rocking-chair-virulent-racism to this
if even that bit of poopery draws a critical look then i think that is a good thing
bleric i don't know if i've said it before but i really dig that you wear old lady glasses, it's an a+ look
Those are young lady glasses these days
the world moves too swiftly for me, i can't keep up
all my teenage baggers say the word 'bet' constantly and i want to die
if I worked with teenagers this would be me every single day
they'd probably be legit worried for my mental health

sometimes my phone dings and vibrates and the ding comes from the phone but the vibration buzz sounds like it's four feet away and it messes with my head. physics are witchcraft.
just like, talking normally between each other then they just hear me scream GODDAMMIT! GOD FUCKING DAMN IT! from the back room "I don't think mr abd is... well, joe"
my roommate and i frequently just walk into each other's rooms. lately he's had this girl over p frequently so i have been knocking. so i mention this today like, now i knock to make sure i don't walk in on some naked girl
and he's like yeah... i don't really have that problem walking into your room
I have clients where every third word out of their mouths is fuck. It gets old quick.
well yes that is probably too much
it just irritates me because it inevitably rubs off on me and I don't like that.
tangentially related I have a couple friends who'll swear like sailors without being aware of the fact that there are, like, kids around and stuff and it's just kinda cringy.

this son of a bitch
how dare he burn my sexless condition
Just start furiously wanking next time he walks in. "Oh sorry you didn't knock."
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
I remain convinced that the point where money can't buy more happiness is somewhere in the neighbourhood of "can buy all the countries you want"
Abdhyius is providing competition for most likely forumer to become a super villain. Cred and Arch will need to be wary of this upstart.
I'm not that ambitious
maybe I'll be mostly just a regular villain but with a theme, y'know?

A study about exactly that said $88,000/yr. But with the caveat that it's based on cost of living, of course.
The conclusion was that more money makes people more happy, right up until all bills are paid on time, and a little can be put into savings every paycheque. After that, it doesn't matter how much more people make, they aren't any happier.
EDIT: Which says to me it's less about making more, and more about being free of financial stress and anxiety.
Y’all done talking about cost of living and what is a reasonable salary?
No it was how much money buys happiness
All of the moneys! To a point!
I find the answer is always 20-25% more than you are currently making
that would not nearly be enough
It’s basically infinite money. There is always a desire to be doing a little bit better than you were before and I am convinced that the feeling does not abate even as the fear of being poor or homeless subsides.

why is it so upsetting to me that Valve is actually, like, getting rid of some porny games.
I certainly agree that several games don't belong on steam. I don't know if they got hit with it, though? But, i guess, I'm scared of VNs having to migrate away from Steam? Like, I feel that some non-violent stories about human relationship are a good thing. IDK, i'm starting to warm up to those and they're possibly going away.

I dunno, there needs to be some curation. There's a VR game that just came out that looks like it's about perving on some high school girl.

I also just found out that awesome local psoas workshop teacher and awesome upstate ny yoga teacher are both doing retreats in central america within two weeks of each other in Feb of next year. First a week in Costa Rica and then a week in a little town called Todos Santos that's north of Cabo. Going to do my damnedest to make both.

If you're making over 75k a year, then you're getting the most happiness out of money.
People say money doesn't buy happiness. Except, according to a new study from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School, it sort of does — up to about $75,000 a year. The lower a person's annual income falls below that benchmark, the unhappier he or she feels. But no matter how much more than $75,000 people make, they don't report any greater degree of happiness.
I make about half this, so I'm presumably 50% miserable.

I agree that Steam needs curation.
I disagree that Steam needs to get rid of the VNs and leave the asset flips and 0-effort spam games.

Its basically "this is why we can't have nice things" if they let some porny games show up, then you get the darker shittier ones also showing up and its hard to say "well these ones are different porny games". Plus valve has terrible quality control with steam games, and know they do, so again as a stop valve so rape simulator 2018 doesn't show up, "Tender loving fucking" must also be banned.

Paris: any salt

i think it's clear the key component of any star trek series is an emotionless android/ex-borg who can deliver dead pan burns without batting an eye

Oh that reminded me of Cafe Sushi
Cafe Sushi is fucking incredible and I wish I hadn't discovered it only after I left Boston!
Hm and Sportello is cute but the real reason to be there is the artisinal cocktail bar Drink with no menus which is right underneath it
Man, I need to spend some serious time eating in Boston now that I'm not on a grad student budget any more...
