Currently watching two Indian guys attempt to row upstream on a river. They're trying to figure out how rowing works from first principles, and seemingly how their arms do too while they alternate bird-wing swings side-to-side on the boat while barely connecting with the water In the 10 minutes of rowing now they've moved maybe 5 feet, most of their energy just strafes them side-to-side in the river. I think they only made it this far by sticking to the bank and pushing off of it, now that they're trying to enter the water they're going nowhere

The funny thing about Deliverance is the writer wrote it after he got a flat tire one time and some rednecks stopped, helped him remove it, took him to get a new one, paid for it for him, and put it on for him. Afterwards he thought "what if those guys had r*pred me instead? And to this day it's held as the iconic shitlib image around the world of "what those BAD whites are like!!". The entire world. Like here, this guy trying to think of "why Americans are secretly all evil"? Deliverance.

Girl I went to college with dm'd me on LinkedIn to see what I was up to and ask if I was still around the area we went to school and if "I wanted to get coffee". I deferred the invite for "indefinite" but pondered why she dm'd me

I remembered later I asked her out junior(?) year We were part of a social circle and were in the same program, so we had classes together. I remember floating the notion of 'getting dinner' or something one time and she sharply, and abruptly shut that down. I think I only remember it because of how harsh it was

Most guys don't understand how fluid the practice of 'shit tests' are. This tweet was itself a shit test directed at any guy who viewed it. The translation of it is "I (+ other women I know) lack the partners we want, a place to find me/us at is a pilates class" Image I did not have to see the follow-up tweet or her bio to be able to induce that she is constant pilates practitioner (her main hobby) or a pilates instructor (this turned out to be the case). So she advertised "[main hobby] + hot guy" disguised as "an advice tweet"
