“Spent five years trying to land this guy. Motherfucker can’t even make breakfast.”
I’ve been saying for years that the entertainment industry is sexist. Just because I’m a white male doesn’t mean you can treat me like a dumb piece of fatty idiot meat. That would mean I’m…bacon? Yeah, I think that means I’m bacon. Sweet!
poeks:
Poeks: How did the interview go? Humdrums: It was okay. Poeks: Do you, like, have a ‘smelling shit’ face on at interviews or something? Humdrums: They asked me if I was a matrix thinker or a linear thinker. Poeks: Hahaha. What does that mean? Humdrums: It means that I had a ‘smelling shit’ face on at the interview.
This made me feel actual pain. If I read it again, I may have a...

I made a little site to make it easy to find side projects of those in the so-called Favrd Crowd. Things like podcasts, web applications, real applications, themed blogs, etc.
I call it Projectrd. It’s nothing more than a single html page that lists every side project of all the Favrd and Tumblr users I could find in about an hour.
If you want to add your project to the site, send...

I really can’t think of anything more to say about that.
Parallel societies
indefensible:
If I had to look back and pinpoint when things started to go to seed, I’d say it was the abolition of compulsory student fees (union fees) in the late 90’s, and the subsequent death of non-academic life on campus.
I think I get this but want to be sure: the compulsory student fees were used to fund extracurricular activities, and once they were no longer collected, the students...

I have a question for you all.
What is a college education worth these days? What does a degree really mean? How important is college to pursuing your life’s dreams?
Ok, if you want to be a doctor or lawyer or something like that, yea, you need a degree. But what if you want to do something creative? What do you get out of college that’s not already in your own head?

bcompton:
I spent forty-five minutes last night searching the internet for pictures of cat butts. When I found a “good one,” I plugged it into that Yearbook Yourself website and the results were so disturbing I eschewed saving one to share. You can reproduce my experiment if you want, but be warned: I had bad dreams last night, and I am blaming the cat-anus-faced nightmare children.
Holy shit,...

Answers to my Boredom
Thanks, people!
inthefade answered: Have you never been mellow.
Not at work. Well, not at work since I was out of my teens. Well, early 20’s. Are we talking about the same thing?

I know nothing about breastfeeding. Clearly. I was making a joke. Not clearly.
I am not anti-breastfeeding in the least. Whether it’s natural or not is not a belief — it’s a fact. It is an experience that is absolutely beneficial to mother and child. Its practice leads to well-documented physical and psychological benefits. Women should be able to breastfeed whenever and wherever...
