  • 10:26 Y'know what I deplore? The "anyone from 100+ years ago brought forward to today would be terrified" meme. Humanity hasn't changed that much. #
  • 11:25 @fadeaccompli Doubly so when there's a trash bin. I've seen a healthy young man standing less than ten feet from it drop a peel at his feet. #
  • 11:41 @fadeaccompli Granted, there's not a great supply of ashtrays around these days. Cup lids, though - there's no excuse. Always carry out. #

  • 18:25 @fadeaccompli ...hm. They should have a system to say: "yes, for the next [time period], you may make the same decision on identical cases." #

Ah, I see. I've only seen it as a story device. That is probably why you used meme!

BUT THEY DELETED MY SAVE FILE, SO I THREW THEM OUT
