At my favorite place: coffee and way too many donut options.

Also, some guy on the phone:

“I like the shorts but they make my b@lls lopsidedly cool”

So four of in the elevator, two friends (F30’s), some dude and me. One of the ladies explaining how she’s flying to Texas to meet her friends new BF.

“I know that’s her true bae because she ate this hot pepper and when he saw her sweating and tears he ate one too so she didn’t go through it alone”

Beautiful story and all, but me and dude across the elevator shared a glance and the look on our faces was like oh hell nah…

Hotel getting breakfast. Next table over a group of travelling co-workers talking.

Dude is going deep on how radio waves interact with the ionosphere and history of tech all without taking a breath.

His coworker (distractingly attractive, female about his age) is dialled all the way into it but he doesn’t notice.

He then shyly catches himself and says “sorry I just like that kind of stuff”.

She leans in with what looks like genuine interest, smiles and says, “maybe you’re just an effin’ nerd”.

He totally missed the cue.

Gonna pray for him, because she looks like she was ready to have his kids…

I’m not saying anything of course but it made me reflect on the opposite possible reality.

We used to have a bunch of tiny lizards around (don’t remember the name) but from neighbours accounts they are native to Florida.

Recently I noticed that they are practically gone and in their place are some multicolored lizards easily 2-3 times as large.

I’m now learning that they are invasive. I want to trap these invasive ones so we can reduce the population without poisons and stuff.

In a perfect world I would like to see the native lizards have a fighting chance at least in my backyard. Advice appreciated.

Defenestration refers to throwing someone out of a window. Did it happen that much that someone came up for a word to represent?

What other words are so specific that describes something that we think should be an uncommon occurrence?

Not gonna lie, I’m feeling like I’m with mom on this one.
