Only two weeks left to lock in on brushing up on my abysmal high school spanish before my Argentina trip. I’ve got “dos cervezas por favor” on lock though.

Everyone’s fighting me in the comments on this one but it’s this easy 😭
The worst part of dating as a decisive high-agency woman is that you have spend so much time waiting around for a man to do something- ask for your number, ask you out, make a plan, keep said plan. And so many of them are so slow with what should be a 5 minute process max

I love that Halloween is immediately followed by daylight saving time. First we confront our mortality, then we fiddle with the microwave.

I’m so glad they were able to add translations to twitter and provide us with global access to cute dog posts 🥰

Crunchwrap supreme
Thinking about things like "notary public," "body politic," phrases where English puts the modifier after the noun like a Romance language. There must be some other examples

The average process is: way to many messages before they ask you for your number, they make a vague plan but the date, time, place are not locked in until days later (if at all), 40-50% chance they flake day of but ask you to reschedule and are surprised when you say no.

A lot of people are like “you should ask them out” but this is bad advice unless you’re super non-traditional, and seeing if they’re quick and/or decisive is actually a pretty good filter for their level of interest and general competence. Huge time waster though.

A huge part of why formal education works is the "formal": accountability structures, classmates you want to see, teachers you don't want to disappoint. You need all of that if you want completion rates above 10%.
There is something worth investigating around the failures of MOOCs. The idea is so good: Anyone can take a harvard course! I myself took many, then mostly lost interest in the format, and began instead to just do the readings in the syllabi without watching the lecture.

Halloween and New Year’s Eve are actually tricky nights for going out because it’s an absolute amateur hour-everyone who never drinks and their grandmother hits the streets. The 4th of July is like this too, but the amateurs are setting off explosives, which is awesome.

So many self described leaders, but few have the courage to truly LEAD (insist on ordering dessert for the table at dinner, so that everyone is free to have the bite they declined but secretly wanted).

The entire concept of “trunk or treat” is un-American. Participation trophy ass way of doing it. No adventure, no conquest, no struggle for the big bars in the far corners of the neighborhood under the cover of darkness.

You can tell the SF housing market is tight because people are trying to sublet their apartments for 3 weeks over the holidays like New Yorkers now.

Pray for my immortal soul. I have 75 intercessory agents pleading with God to spare me from eternal damnation at a rate of ~500 Our Fathers/minute. Eventually a pope will declare them ensouled, retroactively validating their prayers. Aiming to spend 60 years in Purgatory tops.
