When I was young I heard the phrase "time marches inexorably forward" and I always thought it was one of those really cool phrases everyone knew from some philosopher or like from Shakespeare or some highbrow source of wisdom or wit.

Recently I looked it up, and I can't for the life of me figure out where it came from, or why I thought it was one of those ubiquitous things everyone had heard before. It was probably actually from some X-Men cartoon or something silly but I'll never figure it out.

I wish I could go back in time and figure out where I heard that phrase with that specific wording but, you know what they say....

One time I walked into a 24/7 grocery store at night and an employee was at the tail end of an argument with someone who was walking out the door.

The guy walking out the door said something rude like "alright well you can go fuck yourself" and the employee yelled out after him, right as I walked in "Yeah!? well at least I have a HOME!"

I thought to myself that no matter how shitty the homeless guy was being, you should never yell that at anyone because of the chance that a bystander like me will wander into earshot and hear only that one single line and never forget it for the rest of my life.

Its hilarious seeing the same "absolutely insane" tag that I have used.

The background lore of the TV show Severance is gonna create a new rise of ether used as a recreational drug in a sort of "do not build the torment nexus" way.

To be perfectly fair, saying "there's nothing else to say" is a way stronger example of a thought terminating exercise. Yet here we both are.

I think your untreated trauma is negatively affecting how you treat the people around you.

In 2000, The Thirteenth Floor was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film but lost to The Matrix.

Yeah that's a pretty good sell. I'll check it out.

Huh? Wouldn't you be really surprised if they had the ability to unlock the beta art during a time when the beta art hasn't even been replaced yet?

The Wild Truth

Is that theory based on a hunch you had, or is it maybe based on the memoir that his sister wrote where she says so?
