I wish that all buses had a system of having stops announced or listed. It's  annoying travelling on buses at night where I can't see the stops and the bus is moving very fast (especially if I'm unfamiliar with the area)
Feels. I've gotten off at the wrong stop many times because of that, haha.
Also helps if the bus frequency is more than once every 40 mins- 1 hour (i.e. back where I live)

I just had my first bath in probably ~5-7 years. 9/10 would recommend. Good for assessing the world and where life is at.

But like, doesn't the water get cold or lukewarm? Doesn't it feel kinda grotty being in stagnant water? :P What contemplating can you do in the bath that can't be achieved in the shower?
Haven't had a bath in probably close to 10 years. When I got too tall for the bath, it just became uncomfortable to sit in, and I just prefer showers so much more. Plus, I feel like now I'd really struggle to get down that low and sit down then get back up again #old

What makes the ideal bath for you - design wise, bubbles wise, etc?

I feel the 'bath too small' argument - If you stay at a hotel with a proper sized one, that is fixed. TV on the wall with accompanying speaker system is a bonus - Highly recommend  8)

While we're being fussy about baths - I love the ones that accommodate for your head/back of your neck. We are renovating our bathroom and I saw options for baths that were exactly rectangular in their design. 2017 and we can't consider the beauty of laying back in a bath?

Does the amount of effort posed by being politically informed mean it's actually in an individual's best interest to vote without much thought? If so, is that a problem for demoracy or not?

Current random thought

is it true that every single moment I am leaving behind another million lives I could have had and is every dollar I spend I am choosing not to spend on other people and thus am I condemning them to death and is the happiness we feel really worth the unhappiness we face and is anyone actually worth more than anyone else and should some people actually be bumped off because they're causing more harm than good and even if we save lives is there any point because what is the point of more people being alive and is saving people actually working against natural selection so is our species actually going backwards as we have more diseases and can good ever win against the innate force of evil and what is good and evil anyway and actually would my best career choice be finding out a way to completely destroy the planet and all life on it in one hit without anyone knowing beforehand so they wouldn't have to worry about being about to die

As much as I could get my hands on!  What of his have you read?  A very mixed bag, ethically.

#morningcrises
You and I have very different morning crises.
Mine usually revolve around "do I actually need to go to uni today?" "how many times can I be late to stuff before I get failed on the professional attributes hurdle of my course?" Or the classic "if I sit down that low/on the ground, will I be able to get back up again?"
