I Want To Be Pathetic [lyrics]

I want to be pathetic
I want to be alive
I want to know what it feels like to do 185
On a
Dark road deserted but by love in the air
Money
Flowing out my pockets and back through my hair

I want to be pathetic
I want to be unknown
I want to know what it feels like to grow moss on a rolling stone
I want to roll like a rolling wave
Neptune would roll over in his watery grave
Atone
And you may see them pearly gates at last
But only once you cut your pearly whites on the broken glass

I want to be a selling point;
I want to sell
And I want to be an oily joint:
Moving well
And I want to fall in love but not if this is love
Do I wanna get dunked in the tank?
No thanks

I want to be pathetic
As a butterfly net
I want to spill my half full glass of sunshine just to get
Some on
The sunshine of your new sundress
Sun on
Its way to brighten up the stygian abyss

C'mon
I want to be pathetic as sin
Pathetic as the net and all the dead butterflies therein
I want to braid their antennae into a crown
And superglue their scales onto a fashionable gown
Wearin'
Them butterflies I'll be the belle of the ball
Hurdling past the backstop netting to my back against the wall

I want to be hit
And a hit; I want to sell
Knock me out of this pit
Of fiery Hell
And I want to fall in love but not if this is love
Do I wanna drive the tank?
No thanks

She looks like she's smiling 🥹

I know that's anthropomorphic projection, but I'd like to think she's dreaming about how loved she is 💜 also ignore the keyboard on the floor, I type with my toes

My 17 year old cat keeps yowling at nothing in the middle of the kitchen

Over the last few months my cat has started yowling at nothing at random times. She's always in roughly the same spot in the kitchen facing the same way. I sleep upstairs, so I'll come far enough down the stairs that she can see me and I'll tell her she's fine, then she stops and I go back upstairs. She's historically only yowled when she's seen another animal inside the house (not when she sees one outside). She is very needy, but she knows she's allowed on my bed. She is old but you wouldn't guess; she's still very spry. Sometimes her head vibrates a little, if that's relevant. What could be wrong?

Movies with intentionally absurd action

I'm not talking about movies like John Wick, the Raid, or Fury Road, where the action is crazy but still meant to be physically possible. I want the type of film with action beats that make you laugh in pure delight, such as:

RRR

Wanted

Shoot Em Up

Hardcore Henry

I'll say in advanced that I'm not looking for Wuxia films, though I love them too

Kitten won't move from under our car, awake but not reacting

Houston. A local stray had babies a few months ago and we've been feeding them on our porch. This kitten, unlike the others, never seemed particularly afraid of us (though we never got closer than maybe 10 feet from any of them). We've tried gently pushing and poking them with a soft plastic tube, but they won't budge. They only slightly adjust their hind legs when we push them, and don't react at all when we poke them. We even (very gently) rolled the tube under them from behind and they just sort of adjusted over it. They do meow occasionally.Their eyes are open, and one of them is a little gunky, but not to a degree I haven't seen on my own cat. Their back is wet, but we couldn't see any obvious wounds. What might be wrong with them and what can we do about it?

The chapters of Resurrection

Does anyone know which stories from One Thousand and One Arabian Nights the 6 chapters are based on? Also, how is chapter 5 based on the sense of touch? Which I assume it is based off process of elimination

What could you replace a rotor with? (Writing help)

In my story a character's boat has the blades break off. What could they realistically replace the propeller with? Keep in mind that the engine still works, and it needs to be something one could find in a small seaside city (think Galveston). The propeller from another boat wouldn't work storywise.

I'm looking for a former Nazi's autobiography that I read the beginning of

It was written later in the man's life, when he was a teacher or professor. I remember it started with some student asking how he lost his leg(s). He told them he lost it/them fighting in WWII. The student called them a hero, but the author couldn't bring himself to tell them which side they were fighting for. The story of their time in the Nazi infantry started with them aboard a train, I don't think I read past that point.

Is it called mincemeat cause it used to be made of meat, or cause meat used to mean food?

Everyone cites both reasons, but it seems like they're mutually exclusive. If the term originates from a time when meat just meant food, then even if the originals were made of animal flesh it would be totally irrelevant.

Prog rock that draws from non European folk?

Western prog rock often draws heavily from European classical folk aesthetics, are there any prog rock bands from other parts of the world that draw from their classical folk traditions instead? I bet Chinese and Indian prog rock bands doing this would sound incredible

I don't see anything in the settings. Even stranger, trailers autoplay on one of my TVs but not on the other. Same account.

If anyone's curious why I would want to activate such an annoying feature: sometimes I'll blindly add random movies that catch my eye to my watchlist, and then I'll watch the trailers for them later and prune the ones I don't want to watch. I wasn't in a trailer watching mood for quite a while and thus built up quite a backlog. I've finally been going through them recently and making good progress, but my watchlist is so long that if I click the trailer, Prime Video will "forget" where I was in my watchlist and put me back at the beginning. This is super annoying, cause it takes a few minutes of scrolling to get back to where I was, which I obviously don't want to do after every trailer. Thankfully, this isn't a problem if you let the trailer autoplay instead. Problem is, the TV with autoplay enabled gets too much glare to watch during the day (I wanted to put curtains on the windows and was vetoed), so I can only do it at night. It would be nice to chip away at the backlog during the day, but that would require me to enable autoplaying trailers on the other TV.
