  • You may be better off joining a club/group activity around a common interest. That way, even if you don’t meet anyone, you have something to do that isn’t soul-destroying.

  • Danes, or as they’re called in America, Lego Germans.

  • I wonder whether his descendants are still in the upper strata of the aristocracy, managing an ancient pot of money from a yacht in Monaco or a small, high-ceilinged office in Geneva, the logo of their private bank paying tribute to their fortune’s history with a well-hidden fart joke.
