i do the small talk chit chat pleasantries on the phone with coworkers because you're supposed to (and the technicians and extroverted engineers I work with seem to respond to it well). But every once in a while I come into contact with a fellow introverted engineer that is also clearly just doing pleasantries to do them and the transition into work chat is so awkward and low key funny, but also relieving.

my facebook feed has been hilarious. clicked on one too many AITA posts and now it's flooded with AITA posts usually depicting the most horrible fathers along with advertisements for fathers day gifts.

Benjamin Franklin originally wanted the American bird to be the turkey but instead it turned out to be the bald eagle which is ironic because now bald Americans fly to Turkey to get their bald fixed which is crazy cuz turkey is a flightless bird

So in Minnesota there’s this cultural taboo about taking the last piece. If there’s a group and everyone orders pizza, typically one slice will not be eaten. At the office if someone brings donuts, the last donut will be left alone. Possibly cut in half. Then that half cut in half, but always leaving at least a little on the plate. The reason is it’s considered impolite because someone else might want it. To take the last piece is a desperate thing to do. There’s even an expression: “I wasn’t raised by wolves.” Anyway, here’s the best local facebook post going around right now.

we romanticize the past with cottage-core and stuff. Do you think people in the future will romanticize laptop-core working from home?

“people didn’t actually get married at 15 in the past” maybe not where you’re from but in the rural US that is a persistent trend I witness in the historical record.
