I like how boycotting Target is becoming like, a reoccurring thing done for opposing political reasons
we do need to revisit the wording of "you can't have your cake and eat it too" because i don't think it clearly enough conveys that it's more that you can't simultaneously retain a cake and also get to consume it (which would render you cakeless). for years i was like But why not....it's my cake....?
this fucking problem is how they caught the unabomber
hey you should uh. elaborate. for my own personal satisfaction
the unabomber was pedantic about idiomatic phrases like "have your cake and eat it too" and rephrased it to "eat your cake and have it too" (which to be very fair makes sense). fast forward to when he starts writing manifestos. he uses the phrase word for word in his pedantic style and his brother (who has been keeping his eyes on the unabomber shit for obvious reasons) notices the phrase and is like "oh fuck that's my fucking brother no one else fucking says that" and calls in an FBI tip
Well you can't deliberately speak in a way nobody else does and also stay anonymous you know. Can't eat your cake and have it too.

My robotgirl girlfriend who communicates in classic YTP soundbites: "I wonder what's for DINNER?"
Me: "I was hoping we could go grab a bite. Maybe Italian?"
