The Hunting of the Snark by Lewis Carroll.

"Come, listen, my men, as I tell you again,

The five unmistakeable marks,

By which you may know, wheresoever you go,

The warranted, genuine, snarks."

I leave for work just after 6 AM, so night.

We have proportional representation, so the government is made up of ministers in the same proportion of votes their parties got. We don’t have the situation where 51% of the votes gives you 100% of the power.

Some of us are quiet because we’ve learned the value of thinking before we speak.

Nice to see a positive surprise in the thread.

I have a migrant co-worker who shared his opinion that migrants should be deported back to their home countries.

I don’t want him to explain.

You may be referring to the hells

Wasn’t that in Surface Detail?

You know what? You’re right.

You know what? You’re right.

I really don’t. No-one argues to convince anyone, just to state their own opinions louder.

Maybe it’s the cheap mystery-meat sausage of chips.

I’ve lost enough weight to no longer be type II diabetic.

Quiet spaces. Just sitting and breathing for a while is a valuable activity. It doesn’t have to make money to be worth doing.

If you had slapped, you’d be revealing yourself as a violent bully. But since you didn’t, I guess you aren’t - unless you’re out there slapping other people.

Pens. Just check out the pen-spinning videos on youtube.

Only to avoid fashionable brands. I once bought a pair of name brand shoes and walked through the soles in less than three months. Won’t be wasting my money that way again.

There’s a lot of people here reminiscing about how it used to be a better world. It wasn’t, but we weren’t aware of all the horrible hidden shit going on, or we felt less affected/responsible because it was a less connected world back then. Sometimes I miss my ignorance, but ignorance won’t fix the world.

So I guess I miss pulp novels.

My phone screen is too small. I have a separate, larger, e-ink screen for that.

Mad World - specifically the Gary Jules version. Even Tears For Fears like what he did with it.

Couldn’t stop thinking about that film for weeks after watching it.
