"Almost half of the world's population lives in places where you can travel in a cramped vehicle for days and still be within the country."

-via this tumblr post

You shouldn’t date or become serious friends/partners with someone if you can’t stomach the thought of being stuck in a car or train with them for 16 hours.

A Vigorous, Forthright Declaration

A few weeks ago, this blog turned ten (10!) years old. If you have submitted, liked, reblogged, or just plain enjoyed seeing these VFDs over the past decade, thank you for your attention and contributions to this weird little chronicle I've kept.

Your very fervent devotee,

"From a tech perspective it also means they’re not launching the very first day of the week and can QA a bit more before launch..."

-via this tumblr post on Spotify Wrapped

look the Spotify CEO is an evil sociopath like 99% of CEOs but... Spotify Wrapped just releases the last week of November, specifically on Wednesday

That's why it was on the 1st in 2021 and it was the 30th last year and the 29th this year

it is not a massive anti-Palestine conspiracy (I don't think, anyway)

in this one instance, it's a coincidence that the CEO is a specific kind of evil sociopath and Wrapped, which I guarantee he had nothing to do with because massive projects like Wrapped are worked on by teams of people many levels lower than CEO, released today
