Lemme tell you, as someone who lives in Seattle and thinks soccer is the best sport, all of the stuff happening in preparation for FIFA is making Seattle worse. And as we go into Pride month, I have worries about the general vibes and possible (probable, TBH) incidents as Pride month and FIFA clash.

I feel like things can't get any weirder this year, but I'm absolutely certain they will get MUCH weirder.

"[Any Website] wants to send you notifications"

NO. NEVER. Seriously, fuck RIGHT the hell off with that. Browser notifications were a horrible idea and I have choice words for whoever decided to push that nonsense.

One of my favorite webcomics needs to hurry up and get to the polyamorous relationships it's obviously building towards, because I cannot stand monogamous love triangle plots even when I'm pretty sure it's going to end in polyamory

Pet peeve that matters not one bit in light of [gestures at everything], but is what I'm thinking about while trying to calm my brain by looking for Easter episodes:

Too many folks have broadened the definition of "Easter Egg" in media to the point that it now includes [checks notes] THE MAIN PLOT.

Seattle is the largest city I've ever lived in. One thing I was unprepared for is the DAILY confusion of seeing familiar faces in the wild and thinking, "Have I actually met that person, do they just look like someone, or are they a stranger that keeps getting recommended to me on social media?"

Finally took my brand new glasses back after the frame broke when I [checks notes] put them on my face. They replaced the frames and adjusted them. Days later, the frame just broke in the exact same way, in the exact same spot, for the exact same reason. Whoever supplies the frames makes cheap crap!

🤔I have also "Teleported to Waffle House," traveling through time and space.

I was in Houston home from college. I went to the club with friends. We ordered bottle service.

A friend asked "🤯Did you drink our whole bottle of Grey Goose?"

Next thing I knew it was 4 hrs later, eating at the Waffle House.

FEMA official Gregg Phillips believes he was teleported, in his car, multiple times to such places as a ditch 40 miles away from his starting point and a Waffle House 50 miles away.

And look, I want to believe in wild possibilities, but it kinda sounds like he just blacked out while speeding to me.
