I swear when Wikipedia was a Wild West and weird edits stayed up for a long time there was an entry on the Conway Twitty article that described a story about a man who was divorcing a woman who was just a terrible person. He ended up walking out of their house with nothing but came back only for his Conway Twitty records.
That story always stuck with me and made me appreciate the impact Conway had.
Or the side of a drawer if you have them in your bathroom.
I never got why people get so bent out of shape from people squeezing from the middle when it only takes a couple of seconds to force it all towards the nozzle.
It is better to conceptualize political allegiance by which ideology they support: socialism, social capitalism, liberal capitalism, or fascist capitalism.
You haven't felt the struggle until you've taken the baking soda from the kitchen to brush your teeth with until payday. Extra points if it was a refrigerator deodorizer.
One time I was so broke that I smashed my gel deodorant with a hammer to get to the last of it that wouldn’t come out by twisting the dispenser wheel. Then I used my hands to apply the gel for a few days to get me through to pay day.
I was watching the show Good Times about the struggle of poor black family. But after some episodes I felt it wasn’t realistic and the family isn’t really poor.
My family used to do that, but mostly because they were penny pinchers. Like we had money to buy toothpaste, they just wanted to save it for some nebulous reason. They also paradoxically used up a fuck ton of toothpaste every brush and that’s why they ran out so often. I just used a pea-worth and managed to stretch it out
Of course. And no worries. I know it’s a niche joke. Buckle up it’s a long one. Many public libraries, at least in the US, use the Dewey Decimal System (000-999) to organize their nonfiction books. The gist is that Mellville Dewey is problematic for many reasons, but for this example you have to know that when organizing books, Dewey’s best practice is that known hoaxes are categorized and shelved right along with the nonfiction books in the same category. For example the book 1421 claims that America was discovered by the Chinese in year 1421. This book is shelved right along the rest of American history in 945.05. However, the 000’s is the “contested knowledge” which has ghosts, UFOs, Bigfoot, etc. I feel that moving books like 1421 into 000s it lets librarians contextualize books by essentially saying “we think this book is as true as ghosts.”
