Almost every day on this app someone tells me they disagree with what I tweeted by arguing...for exactly what I just tweeted. And I swear to god it is working against my plan to become a good person.
Me: that's green.
You, a philosopher of impeccable pedigree and moral fortitude: I DISAGREE. THAT IS BLUE AND YELLOW MIXED TOGETHER
A couple of weeks ago I asked for books similar to a named book. A person recommended the book I named.

I have thought of it every day since.
I just do not know if human beings can survive, is what I am saying.
This observation sponsored by the account with 12 followers who disagrees that eating plans target men by asserting that these diets are just...marketed to men. You, guy, are a genius.
This is often when a friend explains to me again, for the millionth time, that some people just aren't bright. I wage a full defense of my moral opposition to the idea of singular intelligence. Said friend then tells me that this is my fault. I cannot argue with that.

Who is Kwame Brown
This is why we need to go back to school. I’ve become a doddering old fool.
A little pedagogy on these types of questions. I not only need to know who (and sometimes what) but why and how. Thank you.

Mother worked for the airline. I didn’t pay for a flight until I was almost 30 years old.
One time, I flew to New York to get my hair done over the weekend. Between mother’s travel benefits and my aunt owning the salon, it was actually cheaper than going to the salon at home. The girls at school did NOT see it that way on Monday. Whew.
I was in upward bound that summer (which should tell you that we weren’t rich) and my “best friend” stole my favorite outfit after this. In retrospect, I may have deserved it.

A conversation with vivian about gas shortages ends with a story about how Spanky had a white girl whose father owned a gas station so the Party was able to get the gas they needed to run the community ambulances during the 70s gas crisis. Ma’am. Spanky???
“Spanky could have gotten killed messing with that white woman. But, you know. You did what you had to do.”
Spanky.

Y’all did great with my kindle recommendations. No good deed and all that so I’m back for more help. Mother loves audiobooks. She mostly checks them out from the library. On CD. Is there a seamless (integrated) digital audio book tool/platform? Something with no converting etc?
Let me clarify. Is there something like a kindle but for audiobooks that won’t require converting soles etc because I don’t have time to walk her through it every time she downloads a new book.
Okay, the answer appears to be no. LOL Thank you.

I am absolutely stunned at how many men just sit in public and pick their nose. This is why we have the plague right now.
I just stared this disgusting creature dead in his face as he picked his nose in a crowded room. No shame. I’m tempted to photograph him so his mother knows. I mean he is over 30 and cannot keep his fingers out of his nose.
He has a beard. Can you imagine what is in it?

Sometimes I really question what family ties are even good for. I just learned that a relation I have known all my life is a celebrated blues singer??? This is like the time I learned a cousin I see every single year was also some kind of secret famous grill master.
The after times family reunions need to be straight up speed dating style where you actually *meet* these people you are related to.
I have known you my entire life and somehow no one ever mentioned that you are basically a ninja? That’s what this feels like.
