The holiday week of course prevented me from posting, and this week was the last week in my current term at school so I had final projects and other assignments to wrap up. TLDR: there are 2 weeks worth of shit I read here. Smashing!
I’m also playing around with different highlight themes (most interesting, most weird, etc), since I don’t always have something super weird or whatever. Just think of it as A/B testing. You’re part of science!
Most (potentially) controversial things I read this timeframe:
- black/white. either/or. one/the other. your side/mine.
- ‘Poor people don’t plan long-term. We’ll just get our hearts broken’
Weirdest things I read this timeframe:
- From stationery fiends to hand dryer enthusiasts… who are you calling boring?
- Ozarkers’ visits to the devil (or, more precisely, to his den)
Most interesting things I read this timeframe:
11/22/15
Note: I accidentally included 11/22 on the last post. Since I don’t want to change the old post, I’m just including them here. My idiocy is your gain!
