Hey, unpopular opinion, apparently. But people don’t just “have pain for no reason” doctors say this all the time (especially to women and chronically ill people) and the truth is, Thats literally not possible. Even if your pains are psychosomatic (a word I hesitate to even use because of the way its used so often) there is a reason you are having those pains whether its mental illness, abuse, etc. If your doctor consistently tells you that “well some people just have pain for no reason” get a new doctor. That’s a doctor who is not going to give a shit what your actual symptoms or experiences are.

I'm probably overthinking it, but the whole "every store is now a gray cube because it makes it easier to repurpose the property later" thing also speaks to a lack of confidence on the business' part.

Basically you're already planning on shutting it down and selling it off from the very start? That's what it feels like if you're making part of your brand identity based on how easily the stores can be turned into something else later.

Making architecturally distinctive stores like Pizza Hut or McDonalds used to do implied a kind of confidence in your business. You're making buildings that you can't sell later for very much because everyone will always know what they were originally.

People that do it to their own homes are the most criminal though. You're living in something with all the personality of a hotel room because it'll benefit the people you sell the place to later?

bingewatching will never come close to bingereading. there is nothing like blocking out the entire Earth for ten hours to read a book in one sitting no food no water no shower no bra and emerging at the end with no idea what time it is or where you are, a dried-up prune that's sensitive to light and loud noises because you've been in your room in the dark reading by the glow of a single LED. it's like coming back after a three-month vacation in another dimension and now you have to go downstairs and make dinner. absolutely transcendental

Jack saying "death was made as little repulsive as might be" is a line about the way the undertaker set up the room, I know. It's before he even sees Lucy's face. But it feels like a good description for the vampires, in a way. The beauty regained after death, the hypnotic allure... and the instinctive repulsion still felt beneath and together with it. It's a death that is as little repulsive (predatory) instead of as little repulsive (comforting).

Time available to write: I have never had an interesting or worthwhile idea in my life.
