So this happened Friday:

I was sitting waiting for the bus back from work, when some 50-looking guy begins waddling down the street to the bus station. He sits down on the other bench while I'm sitting leg on leg and on the phone minding my own business.
After about half a minute of silence he notices my dirty shoe.

Then he asks me if I just came back from work, so I answer I did.

Dude out of the blue just said, "haha, that's funny" and began talking about how he hasn't worked for 8 years and how he's a multimillionaire because he won the lotto and that "I have to work because I'm poor" (literally his words...) And I'm all like "yeah", "cool', just trying to ignorr hi while he's basically monologuing until his bus arrives.

???

Why? Why are you telling all this to me? Are you so bored that you just come to random people and begin telling them how rich you are? Do you think I care? Are you just very narcissistic? Maybe you're socially awkward and trying to initiate a conversation to improve social skills?

Why are you taking the bus?

I’ve had many strangers come and talk to me over the years, especially in bus stops and the like. They’re mostly harmless outcasts who don’t have better things to do. I don’t mind as long as they don’t become too intrusive.
 
You've seen the pictures of the Russian gymnast wearing the "Z" to support хуйло́'s war, right? I'm not too concerned about his political statement ... seems most of the world is smart enough to be against the war, he won't be changing anyone's mind.

But his physique? That's another freakish matter entirely. Looks like small bears crawled under the skin of his upper arms. That's not a bicep, it's a space station. Like someone put Lou Ferrigno's arms on Draco Malfoy's body. I'm going back to watching old ladies flee Ukraine, it's somehow less disturbing.

Agreed, his face is that of a small boy, but that body is not normal for a 20-year old.

TickPick | Separating the Art From the Artists

Can You Separate an Artist From Their Art? Most Fans Say No [Survey]
www.tickpick.com www.tickpick.com

Pretty interesting study on separating the art from the artist, one I found somewhat timely given Maiden's recent cancellation criticism on this board. Seems rock and metal are among those who are most willing to separate art and the artist. I'm surprised jazz is so high, is it full of that many controversial figures?

I don't think I've ever stopped listening to an artist (or stopped supporting any kind of public figure) in the wake of some controversial act, it would have to be something pretty inexcusable for me to do so.

I had a very cheap one in the mid-'90s - it was a patchwork made of offcuts which were not very substantial - hence why it was cheap. But the advantage of this was that it wasn't too heavy. It looked really good but unfortunately bit the dust when it came to the attention of (I think) a rodent which was attracted to a stick of chewing gum I'd left in one of the pockets :facepalm:

I'd like to get a proper one at some point soon - something like this would be perfect:
