When somebody says something like that, I bring up ancient Greeks rubbing amber on cat fur to investigate static electricity. It would have been very easy 2500 years ago to complain about these idiots rubbing cats with rods while there were bigger issues to solve. It’s not like they could say “hold on bro there’s this sick thing called the internet and this is step 1 to invent it!”. But we’re all glad people like that persevered or we’d never have electricity. In fact our word for electricity comes from the greek word for amber, elektron. Learning something new about the world is always worthwhile, even if you don’t know why just yet

Oh shit they got him

I’ve given up on AirBnB in the last few years. When I first started, you could get great places for cheaper than hotels and it felt exciting having a house to yourself. I don’t know if the novelty has worn off or if the quality has got worse, but the last few times I’ve used it I’ve regretted it. “Check-in” is never simple. Bad directions to the place. Bad communication leading to issues trying to get the key. Stupid rules like having to put bedsheets in the wash. Reviews can’t be trusted. And it’s not even much cheaper than hotels now.

This doesn’t go for every AirBnB, I’m sure plenty are great. But a lot of times you don’t want the uncertainty.

The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.

Fuck off clean shirt

And when they have sci-fi helmets they have bright lights shining at their face. Surely that would be annoying.

Wait till an American shows up and calls it noodles

Interesting that this is “Livin the dream”. It happened at my friend’s workplace and the leading theory is that he did some diddling and is escaping the repercussions. Guess it’s a fine line…

I went to Charleroi once and it was awful. Brussels is fine.

Same. If anything, it would be in Spotify’s best interest to steer you away from broadly appealing stuff because they’re the mega artists that probably negotiated a better deal. (I’m guessing here)

Tall people are short people that are tall

We are all Britons. And I am your king.

A lot of these are anger or high energy. What about when you’re hungover and it’s early in the morning? I went to a metal festival once and was woken up by Skindred - Nobody at about 8am. I don’t want metal in the morning! I want something safe and slow. Give me Journey or Snow Patrol.

Because they listen to astrology?
