It's a glass with some water in it.

My shot glass is empty.

I have a 3/4 full glass nearby, and all it does is MOCK me with its immanent halfemptiness.

(NB this is of course not necessarily about glasses and their contents, just how your head treats applicable situations or yeah you know)

Imminent! Not immanent!

I cut myself open with it and am pouring the booze inside

In Finnish the most common expression is "in half" (like, "My glass is in half"), so stating that 50% of your beverage is gone doesn't need to have any philosophical implications.

Your own land is the strawberry, another land is the blueberry.

Hm. But how do you think about it? "Oh no nearly nothing left!" or "yay much more to have!"?

Again, not primarily a drink question, honest... If you're on a week-long vacation, what's your feelings, say, Thursday morning?

If I'm halfway done filling a glass, it's half full, if I'm halfway done emptying a glass, it's half empty. This isn't complicated.

Daaamn, that's otm.

Also depends how much you're enjoying it: a cold ale on a sunny day, or aspirin dissolved in water?

But but both are lovely! I do not understand.

"An optimist sees half a pint of milk. He says 'It is half full'. A pessimist sees half a pint of milk. He says "It is half empty". I see half a pint of milk, I say 'It is sour'."

An engineer says "the glass is twice the size it needs to be".

It is half full. OF SHIT!!!

So, let me think, that makes you a pessimist... because if you were an optimist it would half empty. OF SHIT!!!

My glass is harbl.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

It is half full. OF SHIT!!!

two girls, one cup half full

drained to the last drop!

the good life may be out there somewhere... but not for me.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I've tried to overcome my negative attitude toward everything, but you know, it just is what it is, I think.

Today, I described a successful project I had taken a lead on as having gone over like "a game of Jenga in reverse."

Manager looked at me for a second and then said, "Sooo, you were able to put the pieces in place and leave it standing on its own?"

"Yeah, that's another way you could say it, I guess."

I mean, good lord, there's definitely a good reason why I'm not in sales.

it's not you, it's them

Oh, our night out without the kids went great, like the JFK assassination in reverse - kept the top up, took it easy, didn't get shot, and nothing got spilled on my wife's dress for once.
