And like, if a ton of people my age have tattoos then we’ll all have the same blotchy inked extremities and no one will think anything of it. We’ll all wind up at the nursing home telling each other “I think this used to be a bird.”

I remember when my mom (boomer got upset with me for getting my first and only tattoo. “Just think what you’re going to look like when you’re sixty!”
“I’m probably going to just look like everyone my age.”

The feeling of walking out is sometimes just so amazing. I did this with a terrible job once. I just went home after a shift and never returned. Ignored all phone calls, just disappeared. Amazing.
I also kinda did it with high school. Crappy small Christian school where administrators kinda screwed me over. So I went and got a GED and started college instead of dealing with a shitty senior year. My GED rests next to my Master’s in my office.

That’s funny. Here Times is a local Hawai’i grocery store chain. Pretty good poke.

I was about to say that here in Hawai’i it’s fairly common, but I realized when I saw your comment that it’s likely the Japanese influence here (I tend to see this most commonly at Don Quijote and Times, which is owned by the same Japanese parent company)

You can just feel the ten years pent-up emotions in the original. Almost like the daughter just kept a draft message to her mom going, adding some mirror-MAGA-slop* thing to the text field every so often, just waiting for the right moment to open the flood gates. It’s a form of garish elegance.
(* by this I mean this is the aesthetic of the sort of boomer-ish pro-MAGA crap that gets randomly sent to their kids, but obviously not MAGA itself. It has such a “see how it feels, Mom?!” vibe to it)
- Comment on Do you cheat in games? 1 week ago:
The only games I ever used cheats on were games where I wanted to experience the story of the game but found it to be prohibitively difficult to get through (Silver Surfer for NES and Einhänder for PlayStation are two that come to mind—I used a Game Genie and Game Shark respectively). One game where it was the opposite was Grand Theft Auto 3 (and Vice City). I have never actually played the storylines of those games. I just really enjoyed pulling rampages and wandering around. So I’d employ cheats to do that.
- Comment on Today Is The First Day Of The Rest Of Nonbinary God's Life 1 week ago:
The idea of God being non-binary is really one of the oldest ideas in theology—even Christian theology. This should not be controversial in any way. But here we are.
- Comment on you can't pretend it's not funny 1 week ago:
My daughter loves them. There’s a pink one that we sometimes see and she goes nuts over it (and, mind, we never did the whole “pink is for girls” thing–she just LOVES pink). So I can’t outright call them ugly because I love my kid.
I’m convinced that it looks better in every color but standard. Also the front isn’t too bad. Neither is the profile. But all angles of the rear of the truck are big, boxy, just not good looking (in my opinion). But I’m willing to say that I appreciate someone being willing to produce a vehicle that maintains the concept look and actually tries to look different. There’s a lot wrong with the CyberTruck; the exterior design is probably about the least of it.
- Comment on this is true for a few decades of 8 yr olds 1 week ago:
When I was in high school it seemed that Ferris Bueller was always on Comedy Central when I was home sick.
My favorite I’m-8-and-home-sick memory involved me watching the recently unleashed Cartoon Network (this was back in 1992/93). This was when the channel was just hours of Hannah-Barbera shows. So an episode of Top Cat comes on. After it’s over, it plays again. Then again. And again. For several hours Cartoon Network was just one single episode of Top Cat on repeat. I kept it on just to see how many times it would repeat. At one point a little chyron appears along the bottom of the screen saying that there’s been some kind of technical issue and they’re working on it. Even at 8 I’m thinking that this has to be some kind of prank. I still believe this! I mean, these were the guys who would create Space Ghost: Coast to Coast in a few years. Feels very in-character for the future creators of Adult Swim to stick a random episode of Top Cat on repeat during the middle of some random weekday, thinking no one would notice. But I did. And I still think about it.

Oh yeah? Well where I live I can drive for a solid 24 hours and never leave my county.
Because I live on O’ahu and I’d be driving in circles (or sitting in rush hour traffic coming from Westside into town, yeah)

I was once a dairy clerk and I misread this as people reaching for the “black milk” and for a moment I thought someone knew about the black milk.

When I was younger, I once convinced a friend of mine that he, a sixteen year old, could be arrested for sex with a minor if he slept with one of his classmates and the cops found out. I still crack up over his bugged out eyes.

I… think there’s something else going on there, yo. I eat the dairy free ice cream and I’ve never had what you describe. Tbf, my lactose intolerance is fairly mild (no milk or cream; butter and cheese even Greek yogurt is fine). But maybe you’ve a sensitivity to some other ingredient?
- Comment on Just coincidence 4 weeks ago:
I remember back when Cracked was good a writer doing a number of articles aiming to dispel the “mystique” of the Nazis as some sort of genius-level evil and expose their incompetence. Iirc, documents have shown that the Nazis would’ve imploded on their own due to their own idiocy.
Growing up I heard all this “the German people are the smartest people in the world and Hitler was able to pursuade them through his charisma to create this insurmountable enemy that we were blessed and lucky to defeat…” Hitler won mostly through election interference and their own bloviating stupidity was a key factor in their downfall. Fascists are stupid. Deadly and dangerous, yes. But ultimately really stupid and we need to not allow any mystique saying otherwise to crop up. Fascism always fails. It hurts a lot of people in the meantime. But it will always fail.

Our local Costco used to have a scanner gun at the self-checkout. I used to be a grocery cashier who prided himself on how quickly he could scan someone’s purchase. So I’d arrange my cart of stuff (for a household of six) in such a way that made scanning efficient. Then one day I get there and the scanner is gone. If I have to remove every single item from my cart I might as well use the conventional check-out because now self-checkout is far less efficient for me.

They should make a Riker show but the whole thing is done with marionettes as a beautiful testament to irony.

It’s basically applying the cheese making process to soy milk, yeah? So I’m thinking that, theoretically, you could attempt the same with like almond milk or something. Peanuts and soy seem to have a similar texture, I wonder if you could make like peanut milk and then turn that into a tofu like thing?

I know that some jobs require people to have read receipts, but I cannot fathom any reason why anyone would choose this of their own volition. If for no other reason than I imagine text spammers use it to figure out if a number is “active.”

Them never actually landing on Earth frustrates me. Honestly, I kinda wish they’d gotten home sooner so that we could have some time seeing them adjust to life back on Earth/Vulcan/wherever.
- Comment on Cable management is an art form 1 month ago:
“We are perfection.” You sure about that? Your guys shamble about, instead of adding appendages you remove them, there are loose cables everywhere that catch on everything, and your ships CLEARLY have inefficient use of space if a Galaxy-class starship is capable of maneuvering inside of it.
