me and my dad are currently watching Train to Busan and it’s freaking awesome

Lyrics of the Day:

“I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black”

- “Paint It, Black” from Aftermath (single released 5-7-1966) by The Rolling Stones
I’m seeing them play tonight, so I figured I’d post one of my favorite songs of theirs for today’s lyrics.

Why must my character be a pain to draw!!

My dad: “the [​Nazi] Germans didn’t have ships!”
U-boats, the Bismarck, the rest of the Kriegsmarine, and commercial ships: ._.

Same

Alright, so I need some romantic advice from y’all (I’m gonna regret asking you people), but first, a timeline of events:

November 2022: I get my friend’s phone number, and we text semi-frequently
April 2023: we have an argument and she blocks me
May 2023: we resolve things and our friendship resumes like nothing happened; however, neither of us text each other again
November 2023: I’m added to a group chat with several unknown phone numbers and some of my friends’ numbers; one of the numbers is my friend’s, but it’s different from the one she had given me the previous year
February 2024: I start to develop a crush on her (to quote my friend when I told him last week, “hormones are sucky”)
Later in February: I text her new phone number (the group chat one) “hi”; no response
Yesterday: I text the new number again, and receive the response “Who is this,” prompting me to text back with my name; in response, she says “Wrong number”

So, either that phone number is someone else (which I’m leaning towards since it didn’t exactly seem like that was my crush texting, so maybe she was using that temporarily or smthn) or she’s trying to avoid getting texts from me

I have the number she gave me in 2022; should I try tenting that one? And if so, should I do it later today or wait until next weekend?

Thank you CrystalRuby for the spam!

Lyrics of the Day:

“Father of toxic gas and chemical warfare
His dark creation has been revealed
Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
A deadly mist on the battlefield”

- “Father” from Weapons of the Modern Age (EP released 9-30-2022) by Sabaton
This track is about Fritz Haber, a scientist who, on one hand, weaponized poison gas for the Germans, but who, on the other, created the Haber-Bosch process, which was very important for agriculture.
