I don’t think it will make things more tense or anything. I just was like, “oof, karma.”
- Comment on Bro 😭😭 56 minutes ago:
Thanks. And now I feel bad because I just checked Facebook and he announced that his kitty died. So I apparently killed his kitty by ranting. He couldn’t take me badmouthing my brother and saw only one way out.

It means “I get to break the social contract since no one is around and I hate being constrained by rules.” He’s neurodivergent, so he’s not the most clued-in on social contracts in the first place, but that’s not an excuse. He’s just a very weird person in so many ways though. He did not just decide to be a vegan, he decided to be a vegan who also will not eat fat or oil, and not because of animals, because he thinks that’s how humans should eat if they want to live as long as possible. He also once (again, publicly on Facebook) talked about how he couldn’t understand why no one in his work zoom meeting thought it was funny when he showed off the REAL HUMAN SKULL he somehow owns because apparently it’s really funny to own, again, A HUMAN SKULL.

Even our photos were inside because we got married in this sort of high-end mall that was on the courthouse square and had a giant ballroom at the top floor. We had the ceremony and reception there, and there was a very pretty fountain on the ground floor where we did the pictures.
My brother also got married in a ballroom. In Alabama. In view of the “First White House of the Confederacy.” We are not Southerners but his wife is. It was also a Gone With the Wind themed wedding. They claim they have no racial prejudices but after that, it was pretty hard to buy. And that was before the day my brother decided to post to everyone on Facebook that he would yell the N-word when he was alone in his car because it was transgressive. (But he doesn’t do it to be racist, he swears!)
Really looking forward to visiting him in Atlanta in a couple weeks. I haven’t seen him in 10 years and was hoping to keep it that way, but my mom is elderly and won’t take a plane and so I’m driving her. At least I’m going to be staying with friends instead of him.
Sorry, I needed to rant for a second.

Arthur probably didn’t exist. Guinevere certainly didn’t. Even if they did, there’s no reason to assume any particular location would be the location of their tombs.
Plus, according to the legend, Arthur’s supposed to be alive and in the mystical island of Avalon, waiting until he is needed to return and become king again. These guys needed to look up their Geoffrey of Monmouth.
Basically, it would be like digging to find the tomb of Uncle Sam and his wife.

They weren’t exactly shy about what places were for in the middle ages. This is where the brothels used to be.
Also, Shitterton is literally called that because it was downstream from where all the sewage was flowing.

They call them meal worms for a reason, am I right?

Oh sorry, I misread. I thought you meant he was a dad at 12.
- Comment on Playing Outside Simulator coming 2025 23 hours ago:
Let’s say dad was 12 in 2006
Has mom gotten out of prison yet?

I had Legos so long ago that we still called them “Legos” and the Lego Men that came with them were called “Lego Men” and not “Minifigs.” Also, even the girls were Lego Men. They were just lady Lego Men.
I played with Legos and my Lego Men. And I will die on that personal hill.

What is even the point of a playground if you can’t spin around on a merry-go-round until you get sick, fly off, hit your head hard enough for it to get concussed and puke?

It really did rain on my wedding day and I did not see the irony of the situation. We were inside so it really wasn’t a problem.

You oughta know.

And then you decided to make it about how baking is not cooking and how books with baking recipes aren’t cookbooks. I take it this means you have changed your mind on this and maybe you don’t know the English language better than all native speakers?
- Comment on This world is cruel… 1 day ago:
Look, I know you think you know English better than I do, but you do not.
This is one of the most popular English cookbooks in the world. I get most of my baking recipes from it.
Here are some baking recipes from it.
Now at this point, you’re essentially trolling and I think it’s about time you stop.
- Comment on This world is cruel… 1 day ago:
“I have to go mow the garden.”
– Literally no one.
- Comment on This world is cruel… 1 day ago:
No one in English calls it that. We call it a cookbook.
If the issue is that baking isn’t cooking and mowing is gardening in your language, that’s not how it works in English.
- Comment on This world is cruel… 1 day ago:
Sorry, you’re going with a non-English word and yet you’re defining your terms in English?
- Comment on This world is cruel… 1 day ago:
Also baking isn’t cooking, they are two different things.
What the fuck are you even talking about now? What is a book full of baking recipes called? Hint: not a “baking book.”
- Comment on This world is cruel… 2 days ago:
I just don’t understand why they think people mow gardens.
- Comment on This world is cruel… 2 days ago:
I’ve never seen anyone mow a garden.
And people cook for others and don’t always eat what they cook. Like giving people cookies as a gift.
Has no one ever given you cookies?

I’m glad there are multiple commenters treating this with the grim seriousness it deserves. Thank you all for pointing out the grave inaccuracies of the Satanic Menards theory. You’ve saved everyone a great deal of time.
- Comment on This world is cruel… 2 days ago:
Hobby cooking and cooking to survive are very different things. Also, are you under the impression that gardening and lawn mowing are the same?

What kind of chores are you doing? Going out to the barn and shoeing the horses?

I did not, but it looks like it came out in the 90s and Battle Chess came out in the 80s.

It doesn’t seem to say, but I think that’s the MS-DOS version.
I don’t know if they ever made a color Mac version. I definitely don’t remember if that one was in color because I eventually got the MS-DOS version and I can’t remember if they were the same.
But this is a video I can find for the Mac version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=StKlUtx5tHg
Weirdly, there was a color version for the Apple IIgs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXnAcUAN0W4
