Oct 20, 2026, 2:42 AMi randomly remembered something awkward someone said to me a few years ago but not who said it so if you ever randomly feel anxious about something you said to me years ago that you still feel embarrassed about, great news! you're free now! :D
@aeva Can I purchase absolution in advance so I get one (1) foot-in-mouth moment in the future I legally get to live down instantly?

@aeva I imagine something like this scene:
PERSON A and PERSON B are avoiding eye contact as the awkward silence stretches.
Suddenly, PERSON A's face lights up with delight as they remember something.
PERSON A begins to dig in their WALLET and pulls out a GET OUT OF AWKWARD FREE CARD, and proudly presents it to PERSON B.
PERSON B grabs their HOLE PUNCH, punches a hole in the GET OUT OF AWKWARD FREE CARD. Both smile. They high-five. The moment is saved
Oct 20, 2026, 2:50 AM@rygorous now I want to make some "get out of awkward free" cards and put them in my purse

Oct 20, 2026, 2:46 AM@aeva it feels most/many[ enough] forget many of these things after a week or 15 days, anyways, so I wouldn't generally worry too much. 🤞 🙏 😅
