As I wander group-to-group at this party, my mystical orb conveys insights that guide me in how best to navigate the social landscape. "This person is ignorant of portals", "This person has middling interest in portals", "This person cares not for portals"

(coworker mentions a restaurant) Oh! Yeah, I've been there. I was trapped in there for eight months. The nights were cold and the days got so hot. Ambience was incredible. A few weeks in I had to eat the other guy

I switched my phone to grayscale but it's only become more addictive, it feels like I'm reading a newspaper, something in my brain must understand that this is an appropriate thing for a man in his thirties to do

Heard about this new trend called trapped in a room posting where you post about the little room you're trapped in and all the little puzzles you have to solve to get out! My room is featureless with gray walls and I don't know how I got here

Let me show you all my favorite traffic lights around here. I love making U-turns at this one. That one's so long, you usually have time to get a few origami cranes in order. My record is four origami cranes
