Certainly. The joke is the phenomenon known as Carcinisation. The idea that 'everything winds up a crab' in evolution.
Love your comment.
I actually got curious and tried to fact check this but then realized I had no way of knowing which sites really offered actual advice to such an inane little fact, or were just making shit up. :(
I honestly don't know. There are a lot of things that happened in my life that sucked. Things I did or things I didn't do, and far more that were more or less outside my control. The thing is, is that I keep bumping into really good things in life that probably wouldn't have happened without going through the crap first. A small example is that I worked a crap job, slowly climbed the ladder a bit, worked... okay but it stagnated. We got bought and at the same time I got a job offer elsewhere. Cool--but that job offer turned out to be an absolute nightmare. I jumped ship immediately and came crawling back to my former job.
A lot of pain, a lot of emotional turmoil, wrapped up in ALL of that. But in the end I wound up making more money than ever, and learning new skills that I'm way more passionate about. So a net win. But I did have to go through crap to get here.
This just keeps happening. Over and over, on small scales and big. So as much as I hate the bad stuff, I probably wouldn't change a thing. I like the good stuff too much.
So glad I started following this comic.
Absolutely! My reasoning as well. "Elegant" goes with just about everything.
Top right is accurate.
My husband would love this, so I'd happily buy one as a christmas or birthday gift.
The narcissistic aspect really nails it. These are people who cannot, are probably literally incapable of, seeing past themselves and their own feelings and views. I love how you phrased it as "they see is young people conspiring to not even have to come visit."
Lots! I'm constantly trying new teas because that's apparently exciting to me. I've done Harney & Sons, Yorkshire, Adagio, a couple of Etsy shops (WildWoodsTea, OpenDoorTeaCT), and ton of local shops (not gonna list to avoid doxxing sorry!)
Comedy. Watch something funny. It's hard to be anxious and amused at the same time, and at least for me, the amusement wins.
I also have a soft plush that I find soothing but ymmv on that one. I don't even know why it calms me down, it's not a childhood toy or anything.
To your credit, language is indeed an ever-evolving thing and what words mean what is not a constant, particularly in this age of internet.
Point against you, is that means that a 'meme' is largely whatever the majority of people think it is.
