will admit that saying "I'm not bent on destroying the planet" feels odd in light of the 20 KILOWATT LASER I apparently am now responsible for setup of.

I keep seeing a lot of apologies for not being interesting or funny or positive, and I just wanna say:

"Like. You have to be sure to tip well so they prioritize you and oh god I realize now I sound just like my mom."

"Yup."

oop.

the hyper-local delivery site that I use to order burritos and cheap Chinese delivery wants me to know that they're the "future of food".

my dudes.

you only deliver to this town. you've been in business for ten years.

you are not the future of food. you are the present. I still love you, but be realistic, please.
