Crushes are fun, but we romanticize the person into someone they’re not.

This. So much this. I fell in this trap a few times and even though I overcame the fear of asking out and the other side accepted and we dated a few times, eventually my disappointment with the difference between what I imagined the person would be vs how the person actually is would kick in and I would start blaming the other person and/or start criticizing the other person.

Ugh I can’t wrap my mind around how weird and unintuitive GIMP feels to use

It’s America - your data and privacy do not matter right now and the septuagenarian congress will only look at regulating this 150 years from now

There used to be racks/baskets dedicated to hold magazines in the toilet…

The type that results is sudden and very abrupt deceleration of the palm of the hand at someone else’s face

Sobre people see guilds as a form of worker union providing job protection but they are also oligopolies for business owners, resulting in higher price for goods and less employment opportunities overall due to the “you got to be a member so you can do business” aspect of it
