Where’s the line between meeting new people and making new friends? I like meeting new people, but I’m not entirely sure I want to make new friends. I’m comfortable with the number of friends I already have and I just don’t know if I could bring myself to care about more people.
In college, I wrote a paper arguing that true altruism didn’t exist (psych major, what what). I argued that because people will always receive some kind of internal satisfaction for doing something nice for somebody else, even if they don’t tell anyone, you’re never really doing good in the world just because you want to do good. You do good because it makes you feel better about yourself.
If only Instagram was around back then, it would have been so much goddamn easier to argue my point.
This is a huge step, and I’m sincerely excited for you for making it. You specifically call out brunch, but I like to extend that to all areas of life. If you can’t have as much fun being on #TeamHomeBrunch as you would going out, you need new friends.
Invite some friends over, tell them to bring some champagne and OJ, and whip up some eggs over easy and cinnamon rolls. It costs you way less and trust me, you’ll have a lot more fun than if you were being served by some hungover 22 year old in a loud, crowded restaurant. Want to go out for dinner with your friends? Why not set up a biweekly dinner night where you rotate who cooks every time? Grab a bottle of wine to share, you’ll learn to like some new foods, and you’ll get to actually talk to each other instead of shouting over the new Chainsmokers song while paying $22 for a chicken wrap.
Accidentally (“accidentally”) made the coffee extra strong this morning so we’re in for a hell of a day. Running all over town collecting checks and equipment and constantly reminding myself that it’s Thursday, not Tuesday. Working a double Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday so I need every win I can get.
Sorry to hear what you’re going through CC. I’m glad to hear you’re at peace with it and it sounds like you both know it’s what’s best for both of you. Remember what Louis CK said: “No good marriage ends in divorce.”
There were remains of a white woman matching Earhart’s measurements found on Nikumaroro Island alongside a pocket knife, cosmetics case, and a piece of a navigational system that was used in Earhart’s plane. But it was probably aliens or Nazis.
I know this will lose me some of my cool guy cred among my fellow commenters (lol) but HOLD THE DANG PHONE there’s a Castlevania TV series coming!? Hold on tight 6 year old me, it’s gonna get #litty

I’m really hoping this show has as little Danny Rand as possible.
These seem like a whole lot of answers that nobody should give in much detail on a public forum.
*the crying/laughing emoji is probably the best for conveying that you still think Family Guy is funny.
Or you were watching it with people who don’t know the “No talking during Thrones” rule and have shitty taste in musicians.

Listen, all of us on here with student loans are paying them off, but bitching about such things is exactly what PGP was all about when it started.
Every time I make a student loan payment, the Project Mayhem plot from Fight Club becomes more and more appealing.
It’s that but in the front. You can tell where the waist/hip/pelvic region begins and the front of your legs end.
…You know that’s not the real Bill Nye, yeah?
I always knew ladders to be called hillbilly golf. Also midwest.

In completely unrelated news, I am old.
I know a couple who orders the same entree every time they go out to dinner. Fucking psycho move.

I’m in Cincinnati and also out of town/working every weekend y’all try to meet up.
Serious missed opportunity on getting the rights to Goldfinger’s “Superman” for this vid.
