Lucky? You had plans that day, and suddenly everybody around you dies horribly and you're probably injured. That's not good luck, that's merely slightly less terrible luck than the other got. Luck is when your incurable disease goes into remission, or you find a treasure in your garden, or all the lights are green on your way to the maternity.

I'm talking about *pets*, not livestock. And yeah, chicken aren't the cuddliest of birds, they're kind of dumb. But they're still cute, somehow.

This refers to WhatsApp, a messenger app on mobile phones. Whenever you send a message, a symbol appears next to it. There are four symbols: a clock when your message isn't sent (you're offline in a basement), a gray tick when it is sent (it's now on the WhatsApp server, trying to reach your correspondent who's apparently in another basement), two gray ticks when your message has been received by your friend's phone, and the two ticks turn blue when your friend opens the chat window and presumably has read the message. Many people are always on their phone when you hang out with them, but for some reason your messages turn blue only seven hours after you've sent them, and even then you never get an answer. They ignore you.

Or, more probably, the meat-eater who actually knows shit.

It's better than beer drunk, less puking.

And rightly so. Here's a free hug. After that, we can lament on how illogically people behave. It won't make you feel better on the long run. I'm sorry, nothing will.
