        Minutes ago, I was hoping to get laid by the new person I’m texting. However, it’s past 9pm on a Friday and they went to sleep. Totally understandable, I think.

        Now, I’m laughing at an obscure history reference that I just learned through a community called “Really Shitty Copper,” and my nerd-brain is telling me, “This is better anyway.”

        Meanwhile, some distant voice in the back of my head is yelling, “Dooooork!”

        … Being in your 30s is fucking weird.

          Would Nanni take comfort in knowing that people would be making fun of Ea-nasir’s shitty copper over 3700 years later? I’d find it pretty hilarious, myself.

            The best part is that if memory serves right there’s another tablet that sheds light on the fact Nanni owed money to Ea-nasir. The reason Ea-Nasir sold Nanni shitty copper was because he was offloading shit goods onto someone he was probably going to take to court anyways. We know about all of this because a copper merchant several millenia ago did the equivalent of saving texts for legal reasons.
