    to accomplish a goal everyone needs two things, the desire, and the circumstances. Desire is internal, but circumstances are usually out of our control. It sounds like your circumstances are challenging. You might not be able to do what you wish you could, but you’re still beautiful. I didn’t know you, but I bet your tastes are killer

    Man I really feel this

    I like this quote from Ira Glass, which sometimes helps:

    Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer

    There’s more, but this is the core bit. It helps me because when I’m spiraling I can at least remember, yeah, my tastes are killer. My tastes kick ass

    The English word “devil”, in reference to highly seasoned food, was in use in the 18th century, with the first known print reference appearing in 1786.[2] In the 19th century, the adjective “deviled” came to be used most often with spicy or zesty food, including eggs prepared with mustard, pepper, or other ingredients stuffed in the yolk cavity.[

    I have wondered why they were called deviled eggs for a while. Now I have a greater understanding of why some of my WASP and Appalachian family think anything with more than salt and black pepper is “too spicy”.

    Apparently I’m from the family branch that not only buys Anal Prolapser Hot Sauce from Ace Hardware, but also makes and sells it




  • So i kinda went on a thought rabbit hole here

    1. I like jokes like this, in part because they only work in written form. Because if they were using base 10 they’d say “You’re a ten”, but base 2 would be “You’re a one zero” (or one oh)

    2. Wait, do people actually say “ten” when expressing two in binary? Do they actually say “one, ten, eleven, one hundred, one hundred and one, one hundred and ten…”?

    3. Have I been expressing binary incorrectly?

    4. Am I overthinking this?

    5. Honestly though, my favorite written pun is “Religions are more interested in profits than prophets”

    Anyway, puns are fun. How do you say binary numbers?
