they do, it’s just written down. IPA isn’t that hard to learn.

I remember a friend of mine becoming a mother and saying, “Yeah the doctor said never to let her head go back too far and a split second later my daughter suddenly decided to fucking wrench their neck as far back as it could go”

fuck

The question was do I feel like I’ve reached the end of what the world has to offer.

No, and as an example of what I find enriching: music, books, TV, film, dance, poetry, news, science, games - other people would count sports… even if you find between 51–99.9% of entertainment of any and all kinds unenriching and unentertaining, then you still find some things meet that, and thus have not reached the end of everything in the world.

My point being with such hyperbole: no, no one has reached the end

frequently, yes. You can’t convince me you’ve never been entertained and enriched by entertainment

I doubt I could even make a dent in the amount of art, music, theatre, film, TV, fiction, dance, and reading about scientific studies made only this year so far if I was trying to consume and experience everything.

Let alone everything from the last 200 years. So, no, even without leaving my house there’s enough new things to last a lifetime

I’m a boss I message my boss and my subordinates emojis and gifs all the time

you mean the translicent tissue paper banner across the Fascism finally blew away in a gentle breeze

in America many houses have the on off switches with the lights on the other side of the room for lamps etc

if someone steals your car the cops are there to file paperwork for the insurance company, and call the tow truck if they find the burned out shell. They will fill in one (1) form in response and then never think about it again.

And the benefit is most yanks won’t even be able to make a cheeky single if you flat it past the square leg

You are correct. If Elon were doing that he wouldn’t be doing a Nazi salute. But he’s clearly doing a Nazi salute instead.

Funnily enough Samuel Beckett of Waiting for Godot fame (not the quantum leap guy) wrote a play called Endgame, also punning on the chess term.

A man who can’t walk or see has the only combination to the food pantry, a man who can’t sit down is the only one who can take him there to open it. They are the last two people alive. They both continually try to out do each other and come out on top as they can’t trust each other to live in peace.

in the US you get automated messages that blow up your phone when a child is involved in a crime near you.

I turn mine off.

when actually everyone knows engineering is all about being able to negotiate precisely which snacks and soft drinks go in the office break room

“Resting” here is likely the industry term for “I have asked my agent not to book me auditions in the following period.”

I just finished a 9 month comedy residency, followed by a Christmas show nov-dec, I have asked my agent to reste me in January.

interesting, I think its one of the worst covers I’ve ever heard - and I love RATM. It’s just a covers album to get out of a contract and the track in question just doesn’t do it for me.

The only worse cover I can think of is RHCP - subterranean homesick blues

That’s pretty much what I just said?

arguably the Daniel Craig ones did that by being actually fairly believable spy movies that made slight sense.

Bond is about using a magic watch to blow up vaguely Russian people and sleep with barely legal teenagers

uh they frequently did, they had a whole sketch which is just them saying “no pooftahs” (equivalent of the f-slur)
