there is a statistically high likelihood that any individual audience member you hear laughing on certain modern TV shows may have been dead for decades.

Serves them right for being in a canned laughter track!

No but seriously, that’s both haunting and beautiful at the same time. They live on. Like laughing ghosts.

Someone not too long ago asked me how I motivate myself, and I was quite puzzled by the question, like “what do you mean motivate myself? That’s not how motivation works?”, because to me motivation has always come from external sources, like people, situations, experiences etc. But no, apparently some (many? most?) people can somehow motivate themselves. I’d like to have that power please.

Nothing. As in procrastinate by doing basically nothing.

You guys have friends?
