No no this isn't to do with not wanting to read ILM, it's to do with being disappointed that Is there a thread for playing God? and Thread of Disclosure are just about some boring bands.

the first thing I thought of re bendy S was the auto-reverse symbol on a fancy later-model walkman
it goes through the cycle backwards maybe lol

Not knowing what to do when the wind broke the stem on a ball courgette plant this morning. Wondering if it was something I could actually repair at all but now point is moot since despite moving the planter it was in away from the edge of the balcony it had still pretty much totally severed th eplant by the next time I looked at it. Guess I'd been lucky with wind up to that point, but just don't know what to do if it picks up again.
So, dang weather ripping up my balcony farming.

a heralded subset includes people who stop on either side of a portal/transition.
do not check your phone whilst standing in the doorway. do not stop at the bottom of the escalator and have a look around.

Maybe I said this on the old thread, but: people who don't apologize when it becomes clear that in small or not-so-small ways they screwed up, judged you harshly, led you astray, or whatever else. Every day I get closer to saying and what do we say now??? to these people, in the manner of a nasty aunt talking to a 5-year-old.

good-natured "I'm just sayin'" assholes:
happy-go-lucky hippie at a farmer's market stand going on and on about "hey you guys need some prices here" first owner says in broken english says yeah our daughter isn't here today. a few moments go by & he starts up again. "how about some prices, lol" " gee it sure would help if there were prices yaknow haha!" second owner patiently explains their daughter makes the signs, they got wet the night before & they didnt have time to make new oneshippie takes that in his stride. "well ya know it only takes 2 minutes to make the signs. I'm just sayin"
I lost it & snapped at him "why? are you offering? because these folks do actually seem kinda busy. just sayin" and walked away.
fuck that guy. he got TWO explanations & wouldnt let it go, even though the owners were fully prepared to tell customers prices, no one was complaining except loudmouth goodnatured heyi'mjustaregularguy fuckface. asshole

I used to get people like that in my restauranting days, always folks who wanted to get the last word. I would deliberately troll then as I was an angry 20-something who enjoyed fucking with people. One exchange went like this:
Customer: "Is this your only salsa?"Me: "Yes, that's our standard salsa"Customer: "Good thing you're not charging us for it, because it sucks"Me: "Well, it's free"Customer: "Good, cuz it sucks"Me: "Sorry you feel that way, but we're not charging you for it"Customer: "Good thing, because it's terrible"Me: "Well, it's free"Customer: "I'm glad, cuz it sucks"
at which point her friend said "uhm can we move on from this", embarrassed by her friend's stupid salsa purity crusade
