-> file: fediverse/2299 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── everywhere on earth is different, which is why it's so hard to follow each place's goings-on! But I don't mind being corrected, like if someone came and told me "hey don't spell it like "theatre" that's actually only for stage plays, if you're seeing a movie it's a "theater"" then I'd be like "oh yeah duh that makes sense, because one was invented in america" and they'd be like "what no, well, actually maybe" or like "hey don't say the things that you're saying" to which I'd say "yeah sure can-do" but, well, nobody told me no, so here we go :) I'm both exhausted and sleepy! I bet I can fix that with some sleep. Hope my thoughts don't keep me up again, though for the sake of keeping my timeline interesting perhaps I wouldn't mind. 🥰 ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2300 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: uspol │ └──────────────────────┘ my favorite enemy is one you never need to fight.

Straight over the curve, the world is flashing right past you, and down around around you'll go faster. My mom always said the back is more fun because of how fast you go. I tend to believe her, but there's something special about the front as well - especially the very front! That part is neat because you can see all the scenery completely. But only one car's in front, so it's quite a coveted position. Lucky for us, the line's not too long! Good thing they built enough rides to carry us all along. what's that you say, there's capitalism at play? and they only had room for those who could pay on this day? how rude! well, maybe they'll build more tomorrow. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2304 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: uspol │ └──────────────────────┘ @user-1221 @user-1074 That.
