Things You Just Don't Get

I walked by St. Regis and saw a newly wed couple walking out with the groom in black tie. It's 12pm. Who wears black tie in the middle of the day for a wedding?

A lot of people probably do who are not on style forus or know the ABC's of "fashion rules".
 
People doing weight training on back to back days. Don't you need to rest? Now I need to wake up even earlier tomorrow to get access to my favourite machines.
 
People serving pizza at conferences. I'm not asking for gastronomical choices but putting out a veg, meat, and "regular" pizza is the easy way out.

Never mind it's always chain pizza that has been sitting there after a bulk order for awhile laden with carbs, sodium, and God knows what else. Never mind you don't get any cutlery and people walk up to you and want to shake your hand.

You can't wear a tux during the day? The stuff you learn on here. There goes my noon time magic act at the senior center.

Me and Al, the sun comes up, we grab a tux, head for the street, a handful of Cheez-its to keep us fueled.

Also, I struggled mightily with the adjective you so un-wokeishky used, landed on  round. So high five, maybe four, me.

That's not baby fat nor cute. That's type 2 diabetes and they probably smell and will die of a coronary before they're 25 fat.
 
As I'm becoming more aware of what I eat in my advanced and senior age, I started wondering who goes to buffets?

The food is rubbish. I can't even eat that much in a single seating anymore without running to the toilet. Is it even enjoyable?

How long has that food been sitting out? Is it even a safe temperature? Is the crispy stuff still crisp or drenched in oil? Should creamy pasta salad be sitting there for most of lunch service? What kind of sashimi do you really get in a buffet?


I used to partake in fruits for dessert since I cut sugar awhile ago. But now I read pre-cut melons and pineapples go bad after 2 hours in the open.
 
When I took a few photographs to chronicle my Sunday to a woman and she said how bougie
 
You took photos of the woman or you brought photos of yourself to show her?
 
She's an artist. She was asking for people on Instagram to come see her exhibit and her live painting. I thought the one at the Italian festival was this weekend so I dm-ed her what I had been up to so far on Sunday and how it would be a stretch for me to make it to support her.

(how she got invited to an Italian one is another question but whatever...)

Ok I'm much more confused now. This is a random IG person?

I wouldn't say random. I went to her exhibition in 2018 and bought artwork from her. It's posted on the forum.

I didn't really talk to her until the lockdowns when her and I were single people living in the city so we dm-ed whenever we were bored or despondent about the plague from China. She randomly talks to me about things like she lost her mobile yesterday, or she couldn't get approved by her new landlord, or she's in Mexico, etc.

So you’ve never actually met? What other interactions have you’ve had with her?

We've met. At her exhibits or post-exhibit parties at the bar. I dropped food for her when she was isolating after getting BA.1. What are you trying to get at?

Not trying to get to anything - just trying to understand the relationship is all
 
Obese young people who do low grade walking - I mean glacial pace - on the treadmill or do low intensity cycling. Calorie counters are inaccurate but they do see that the time spent versus what exercise is achieved is a low return on investment?

These are not old people who may have pre-existing health conditions that prevent them from hitting high cardio rates.
 
I started using Stevia as a substitute for sugar when cooking for my father. Then one of my friends told me that it makes people with heart disease worse. I guess it's back to sugar or honey again.

Any research behind that?
 
Acronyms and slang. Maybe it's because I had an English teacher throughout high school who insisted on writing everything out long form.

lmk..just figured it out.

ia ...no idea what she means. She also mixed it with some french.

Burning man festival stuff. Now they are trapped. Where do you go for the toilet in the middle of the desert?
 
People running around in public with a t shirt that says Volunteer on their back.
 
Women feeding birds. Pigeons. Sea gulls. Why? If you feel the need to rear something then have a kid.
 
An AI-powered toothbrush
It may seem less glam, but what’s sexier than minty-fresh breath? This Philips Sonicare 9900 Prestige brush makes it clear that regular toothbrushes are as D-list as it gets. Available in black, white or Barbie-pink, the $500 high-tech teeth cleaner uses AI to monitor your brushings and send you “scrubbing feedback” via an app on your phone.

Why is my toothbrush trying to tell me what I should do?

Because Philips knows that the consumer is a dullard who doesn't know how to brush his teeth?

Also, everything "AI" is hot shit right now, so why not try and sell a toothbrush.

too right. people damage their teeth even with powered brushes if they brush too often and/or use too much pressure. it's not the text feedback that is the "key AI" feature here but rather the brush senses when too much brushing force is being applied and reduces the power to the bristles in an attempt to mitigate the risk of damage.

the phone app messaging is set at dullard-level too, telling them about what they are doing incorrectly with respect to brushing pressure, position, brushing time. but one only needs to talk to their dental professional, read the operating instructions and/or watch a video for a couple of minutes to know all one needs to know.

Colgate made charcoal toothpaste for fools who follow internet whitening hacks.
