All the talk of the “T-zone” got kind of weird.

Firewatch. Road 96.

I feel your pain, and your post speaks to me almost as if I wrote it. To make it even worse, however, is that I’m now in management for the last two years, and have to put on an even more false front when all I want to do is work. One thing I have gotten better at, is being straightforward. Instead of just dodging around it and trying to let them down easy, just saying “I really need to finish this assignment I’m working on, can we talk about this another time?” Or “hey I appreciate you wanting to tell me about your entire weekend, hour by hour, but I have several things I need to get to working on, we’ll have to chat later” and then just stare at them until they leave. It was uncomfortable at first, but I’ve gotten pretty good at it lately, maybe give it a try?

How does the video have 86,000 views and 2.1m likes? What am I missing?

Thanks for sharing this. I didn’t expect to watch anything like that tonight. It was well put together and enjoyable.

Wait until the next time you go to eat at a Waffle House. My wife and I watched this a couple weeks ago and then happened to go to a WH a few days later… we spent the whole time watching them call the order and mark the plates. We had never even noticed it before…

Seriously thanks for the information here. The picture alone is fascinating, and the background info about the scene is very intriguing… but the additional history lesson is much appreciated to put the whole thing in context. Very cool, thank you.

TIL the sun look like a Lorax.

What a great sentence, well said. I’m going to use that in the future.

Dang, that was fast.

Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.

I laughed harder at this than I care to admit.
