I feel this one in my bones

Hahaha guy used to tip with concert tickets! They were such a hot commodity

I was born on Long Island in the '70s and have a congenital predisposition to fucking LOVE Billy Joel. Also, it’s illegal to be from Long Island and not like Billy Joel. I love Billy Joel.

Turns out, I also love memes calling him out for how much harmonica there is in fucking Piano Man

Ooh, I’m a big fan!

So let me get this straight: no dogs, no cats, no companion animals of any kind, no rock stars, and no comedians. Who the fuck wants to get raptured? Place sounds like a nightmare.

Can we crank the nightmare up by making this a flash mob?

He doesn’t even spend money on his own places when he can just not pay people!

That’s what happens if Steve Carrell smokes a marijuanas!

Do you remember the story of the Mayflower? Bunch of Puritans who got kicked out of Europe for their religious beliefs? That happened 150 years before the Revolution and the founding of the country. We were assholes looong before we were rich people who did everything we could to avoid paying our share of taxes. By the time the founding fathers were born, we were hitting our asshole stride.

America’s forebears were so reviled that they were chased off a continent. Assholery is literally ingrained in our culture

Geez… if it’s not either Princess Diana or George Michael, I am officially out of guesses

Hahaha just give us a few decades to flail around first, crying about how we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!

My body is ready. Brain hopes to catch up

Maybe he just thought, “Christ, I could really do with some wheels” the whole time

It’s kind of amazing how we now have two applications for this candle 😂

If this really is Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, that is fucking amazing.

Isn’t that how it’s supposed to work? Parents preferring live children to dead ones in world that constantly throws weird bullshit their way?

This piece from National Public Radio (U.S.) helped me get more comfortable with accepting compliments by giving another perspective.

People complimenting you are giving you a little present without expecting (or even wanting) anything in return.

For years, my trained response was to smile and say thank you. It’s good enough in the moment and it leaves you free to ruminate on it later, but sometimes it’s enough to interrupt an anxiety spiral.

The phone-aux concern is real. An old system like that is nice for decor if you like the look, but having a physical collection of music is so inconvenient when you’re used to streaming and mp3s, I fucking feel that.

If you do want one for the aesthetic, though, I’d recommend checking brick and mortar thrift stores or garage/estate sales. My nearby charity shop always has a few components stacked up on a shelf, same corner as the pandemic breadmakers, haha.
