Where’s “confirm you cancelled your subscription”

The only one that makes good sense to me is #5, and I'm not sure it will actually make you "a better person", only a slightly saner one.

Brb scheduling sex (given I'm single, this may prove troublesome)

which one takes the cake?

Sex scheduling. Unless you are a highly paid hooker and your client is the attorney general of NY. Then scheduling is a professional best practice.

#5 but it requires a corollary to acknowledge and focus the moreso on the things you can control

― remember the lmao (darraghmac), Wednesday, 3 January 2018 00:41 (six years ago) link

aren't 5, 7 and 9 all the same thing

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 01:13 (six years ago) link

also 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8

― j., Wednesday, 3 January 2018 01:14 (six years ago) link

and as for 1, 2 and 3, uh, if you are not doing them, they will not make you better

xp well

#7 sounds like it could mean something, but it only simulates having a meaning.

― A is for (Aimless), Wednesday, 3 January 2018 01:18 (six years ago) link

4 and 7 straight up contradict tbh

― remember the lmao (darraghmac), Wednesday, 3 January 2018 01:27 (six years ago) link

― flappy bird, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 04:49 (six years ago) link

6 is the only one that i believe in, other than the obvious (1 and 3)

― flappy bird, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 04:50 (six years ago) link

― The Bridge of Ban Louis J (silby), Wednesday, 3 January 2018 07:05 (six years ago) link
