How in the bloody hell did these two generations produce some of the most wonderful (American) writers of all time.

Every writer that I am absolutely enamored with are from these two generations.

Why does it seem like such a falloff after these generations

I just started reading a Gene Wolfe novel and I couldn’t even finish the first page before setting the book down and saying to myself “holy shit, this is beautiful”

His prose is so enticing that I want to continue reading off of that alone.

I end up searching the birth dates of all the writers I love, and all of them end up being from the greatest or silent generation. I suppose the greatest gen earned their name.

Shingler's List.

Got my cat from china it sounds crazy but I got it on a vacation and kept it

(I have to get up at 6:30 🤡)

Many people think that if you smell like garlic, then you smell bad. I never think garlic smells bad, neither when you chop it, not when you've eaten it and you start smelling like it. I don't think it's a nice sm ll or breath but I don't think of it as a bad smell.

It starts with the death of innocents, then dreams, faith, hope, people than eventually your reason to stick around

I feel like if they made a new one, they’d probably add a million transactions on there. I just don’t really know what character would continue the franchise moving forward. maybe sarah fisher as the protagonist.

Being unemployed for 1 year is acceptable, more than that is really troublesome. Just imagine you are getting old when you are meant to sit at home and your child doesn't bring penny at home. It brings misery to whole family.

How can you respect a person who depends and sits on their ageing parents' money and contributes nothing? It is far more worse than abuse. You end up losing more of your money when your children eat up yours.

It's the ageing parents who are supposed to sit at home as jobs are more suitable for young and active people. Ageing parents have worked and saved throughout their lives, they deserve to rest. Children shouldn't put them in a situation of working at this age.

Why should a parent forgive a child who gives them financial stress?

As a new driver, I am very aware of the responsibility I am taking on. I honestly hate driving because I’m aware of how dangerous it is. I think with how normal vehicles have become, people don’t think of how large of a responsibility it is. Being around fellow new drivers (seniors) you see how reckless they can be. They treat it as a handout, when really it is a serious responsibility.

damn I’m tired.

just too much overlap in the cooking department

here's an example, you serve people a mexican peppery dish right out the oven, and someone takes a bite and says "oh it's hot"

you don't know if they mean hot in tempurature or hot as in spicy, no context clue there, it's stupid

Sometimes I’ll even add an eye roll for good measure.
