Nuclear-Spearman: Huuuun, where’s my atl-atl?!?
Honey: I put it away! Don’t you think about running off doing no nuclear-do!

I mean, I remember the cool part where the guy gets his throat stabbed by a broken pennant… And the part where the cranked minigun gets unveiled. Those were some well done scenes.
- Comment on UK has worst rate of child alcohol consumption in world, report finds 7 months ago:
I believe it. There once was a time, that may or may not be a memory, where the bartender would serve you if you could walk up to the bar and order. You also needed money, but a bit of bartering with scrounged flotsam from the quay could cover costs.
- Comment on I learned so much 7 months ago:
Some classics are good enough to read. The problem is in forcing kids to try to do in-depth analysis. Charles Dickens isn’t all that bad to read, until you are squinting at every third word and wondering if this could mean something in the context of the whole book and just maybe you can write about it well enough in your stupid journal that you really want a B in so your parents don’t whip you with the belt again.

Aye, the first time a blue jay tore the head off of a smaller bird in its nest was a real head turner for me.
- Comment on HOAs suck 8 months ago:
Yeah, that’s the part that always gets downplayed in these ‘homeowner revenge’ stories. HOAs can really fuck you over. Sometimes they get bankrupted in a lawsuit, sometimes you lose your sanity and your home.

I once found a donkey. It was as desperate for attention as I was to not be working at the moment. Things worked out.
- Comment on Anon launches a space program 8 months ago:
I wonder how hard it would be to fake a ‘ship’ being towed from the rough area where you boarded, and put on a real rocket. How many people would still argue it wasn’t real when they saw the launch of a rocket that could reach a few dozen miles up? Sure, some would have the technical knowledge to look at the rocket and know it wouldn’t be enough.
Hide the true numbers off people boarding, and thus you can fake the ‘ship’ being super small, and it could work on the unknowledgeable viewer who is placed several miles away.

There, there, buddy. You don’t have to listen to all the hate. Just screen the hate from your life. Put a big ole metal grating in front of the flow of pejoratives and catch them before they hit your brain space.

Name 5 berries without looking up the definition of a berry, or the comic about it that gets posted every so often.

To be fair to the dude, I didn’t know this either until a teacher taught by teaching us about peanuts. How many of us know much about most of the things we eat?
- Comment on acceptable screws 8 months ago:
Interestingly, it was an accidental feature. The original patent application makes no mention of it, but 9 years later they added language about it camming out to the second patent application. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_out

I remember melting plastic pens onto the nintendo screw heads in order to get them out. Fun times.
- Comment on car insurance 8 months ago:
I have a friend who has, give or take a couple, wrecked vehicles more than 20 times. Most were minor, barely involving damage to the vehicle he was driving or the vehicle/object he hit, but a couple were catastrophic. I think the majority were because he has roadway hypnosis/narcolepsy. I’ve had him fall asleep mid sentence talking to me when he was a passenger. A perfect candidate to have that license taken, right? The two ways I know of to take a license involve driving while intoxicated or a doctor personally notifying the licensing agency about a person’s inability to drive. Believe it or not, most doctors have a vested interest (because they want clients) in not personally notifying the agency. However, there is no set path to revoke a license for simply being a bad driver.

I remember watching that movie on the Sunday-nothing-on channel that would showcase all the older but really good in their day movies. They would play it about once a month or so. I think it’s where I got my taste for certain types of D&D campaigns.

Or, seeing as it’s billionaire bullshit, it will be an ecological disaster. What do you want to offer for the odds that it will have shit navigation, and throws out pings every 3 seconds if submerged? Goodbye local wildlife, recreational diving, and all other activities taking place underwater.

Wouldn’t appetizers be the hardest, and desserts the softest?
- Comment on RuneScape creator unveils new MMO after 10 years of development: 'At times it has felt like an insurmountably ambitious task' 9 months ago:
We’ll have to wait until it’s out to see. The statement that they want to minimize grind? Hoooooly crap, that’s the exact opposite of what RS was. To get to the higher levels and max a skill, it was basically a mental game of sticking to the best xp/tick strategies, which could still take a month or more to max one skill. That was after they had introduced a bunch of new things. The original days? It was a third job on top of it being the second job to do it in months.
It was also really fun for being so simplistic and had a good mix of self-aware humor, so I have hope for their new game.

Meanwhile psychologists just name things as exactly blandly as they can. There’s a neat phenomenon where a relationship can immediately be viewed as deeper and more connected, merely by one of the individuals sharing deeply personal information. It even works at the very first interaction. In other words, if someone tends to overshare, or blurt out info about themselves, we measure their blirtasiousness and its effect on relationships. Not even kidding. I think the folks who came up with it were Scottish, which is why the blirt rather than blurt.

Well, if they were stinky I’d probably be upset. If their hands were sticky, I’d be upset. Repeat for the other social offenses. Otherwise, sure, go for it. We all need a case of mistaken identity in our lives.

If the homeowner had fired back, and killed the cops, they would likely be cleared of wrongdoing (eventually, like a loooong eventually). It’s already happened several times.

Because after the 30th ejaculation in a 15 minute drive, even the most well hydrated among us will be gasping.
