Best I can do is a shitload of gas generators.

Just wanted to put my endorsement behind Engage. It definitely has a more traditional FE feel compared to 3H.

The combination of the meme and the title are simultaneously absurd and wholly relatable.
Goddamn brains.

One of Your many mistakes was not expecting to need to replace all of the appliances.
FTFY
- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 2 weeks ago:
Bought a house (back when such things were still available to plebs). Hadn’t moved in yet, cleaning etc. Chucked some drinks and snacks into the fridge. Next day, barely chilly. Put a thermometer in, 40-some degrees F.
A new fridge was just the first unexpected expense.

It’s like 7, 8, and 9 are rotating at random, in irregular intervals, for maximum discomfort.

Not at all. Just responding to a link with a link. I didn’t realize the Battletoads memedom went beyond misidentifying games. TIL.

I don’t get it. Why would I say my favorite game is Battletoads? Now, if they had posted a screenshot, asking what game this was, yeah, then it’s obviously Battletoads.

It sounds that way, especially since the next like is pronounced “mighty swerds.” 😂 And that’s what I thought it was for years. But in the context of the rest of the lyrics “worlds” makes sense.
In any case, Nightwish is no stranger to misheard/pronounced lyrics.

Ruled by magic and mighty swords - Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 4 weeks ago:
Took me awhile but I finally got the reference.
- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 4 weeks ago:
Hierarchy. The invisible sky wizard makes the rules, and if we don’t follow them we burn. And so on down the line, priests, pastors, presidents (unless they’re black, hoo boy did that send them over the edge), police, parents. Do as you’re told. Do not question authority. It’s practical preparation for school and the workforce at least.
Meanwhile, all of my birthday parties were keggers because the weather was nice and the adults liked to party. And I was at most 4 years old when I learned that I shouldn’t touch the small squares of mirror. Or the plastic film canisters.
There’s nothing quite like the smell of hypocrisy in the morning. Overflowing ash trays and last night’s beer cans when you’re trying to eat breakfast comes close though.
- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 4 weeks ago:
What’s even weirder is being raised by Christians, taught to hate the blacks and mistrust the Jews (using the usual inappropriate slurs at every opportunity), never going to church outside of a few Easters, and growing up slowly learning that your parents were full of shit and they never actually read the book they said was so super important.
- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 4 weeks ago:
Dammit. Back in my day, Jesus was just a humble public access TV host.
- Comment on AI might be creating a ‘permanent underclass’ but it’s the makers of the tech bubble who are replaceable 4 weeks ago:
if you are among those panicking about being forced into the permanent underclass, you are already in it.
Well, yeah. And it’s been like that for many generations. AI is just the next big thing. But it’s nice to remind people every once in a while.
