to your point, i think it becomes more common to think about that stuff once you hit 30s, and the fact that your brain is slowly turning into mush becomes more palpable. so being young and being able to learn poo poo really quickly and deeply is more valuable in hindsight

lately I look at dudes in their sixties and seventies and I can actually see who they once were before the dust of age took them to the sands of time.

very powerful stuff. lots of husks out there.

I remember reading this article a while back about London cab drivers having to undergo extremely rigorous tests about their knowledge of the streets, right down to being able to identify a specific pub from as vague instructions as "the door had two gargoyles on it"

Trick question, gargoyles are a kind of decorative waterspout for projecting rain away from buildings.

I bought a little art book from some Japanese lady via amazon and she sent me a similar handwritten note about how she went to the states on vacation once and loved it. I thought it was kind of sweet, I think a lot of Japanese just feel really socially isolated

I once saw a really old dude at a subway station, rush hour, he was limping along muttering to himself and chewing an apple. As the train came into the platform he tossed the apple in front of it so it splashed onto the people(narrowly missed me), a lot of em murmured angrily as he kept walking with a huge grin. And all I could think of was "hell yeah dude"

The Danish stock exchange (not actually in use as such) was on fire this morning. 400 year old building, very beautiful, but also a showroom for business interests. This would have been the perfect start of the revolution, but we hosed up.

It was the headquarters for the Chamber of Commerce. I wouldn't be surprised if the fire was somehow caused by some corner cutting during the restoration.

The problem with WASP as a slur is that they think those are good things to be and they want everyone to know those labels apply to them, so it’s pretty hard for them to feel put down by it

Reminds me of a guy who traced his lineage back to antebellum planter class and liked to talk about how conflicted it made him feel in way that always felt to me that he was humble bragging about how established and wealthy his family is
