Tommy's Thursday Thoughts: Vol. 21 - Why Does Google Need To Advertise?
-I think some companies are past the point of needing to advertise. It just seems like a waste of money. Like why does Google need commercials? Nobody’s going to say “Woah this Google thing looks pretty neat. Let me see what it’s all about.” Also, the only real way to research Google is by using Google.
-If I had one superpower, it would be that I’m basically impervious to needles. Now when I say “impervious,” I should clarify. I just mean that when I got shots, I handle them surprisingly well. Maybe a slight wince, but sometimes not even that. So by impervious, I basically just mean that I am probably in the top ~10% of needle tolerance.
If someone was robbing a bank and holding hostages, the police would say “Alright let’s call in Mr. Needles.” I would then show up in tights and a cape. I would have a medical assistant administer a shot to my forearm (I have great veins). I’d handle it like a champ, maybe just a slight wince depending on the vein she picks out. Everyone would stop what they’re doing and say “Woah that kid has a pretty good tolerance of needles.” I’d say “Yeah I do” and leave. The hostage situation would then resume.
-Coffee is often thought of as a morning drink to get up and start your day. But it’s also commonly served after dinner with dessert. I just find this interesting.
-If someone ever asks me for a liter, I’ll pat both my pockets and say “Ahhh, no. Not on me right now.” I know full well that I never have a liter on me. But by doing the pat down, the person will think I do sometimes smoke. And smoking is fucking COOL.
-It’s crazy how much traffic is just caused by rubbernecking. If people could mind their own business and not slow down to look at accidents, there would be so much less traffic. Hopefully everyone stops doing it except for the cars I’m in so that I can look. Nobody else have that mentality though.
-I don’t care how bad of a driver my Uber driver is, he’s always right. He could run a clear red light or rear end a car out of nowhere, and I’ll still say “Psshhh. These people just don’t know how to drive. I don’t know how you do it in this city.”
-Whenever someone refers to a person as “kid”, that person is always a male and not female. But the word “kid” should be gender neutral. Fascinating.
-I was recently on the train and the lady next to me was on the phone. I heard her say “my uncle just passed away” towards the end of the conversation before hanging up. I debated saying “Sorry for your loss” when she hung up, but decided that might be rude and come off as eavesdropping. Or was it more rude to not say anything? Hopefully I made the right call.
-Good idea for a TV show: Real estate agent by day, murderer by night. The main character kills families and then sells their house to make a nice commission.

-Do you ever feel bad for animals because they don’t have access to sunglasses when it’s sunny out? They have to squint all day.
