Surreal comedy is hardly random, it’s deliberately incongruous in ways that demonstrate a mastery of causal logic.

- Comment on Little Anon goes on a field trip 11 hours ago:
I have an 8th grade DC trip myself actually. We were at one of those colonial reenactment places where everything is brown and people dress like it’s the 18th century. It was alright.
I got distracted and zoned out near the end, the bus left without me, and I was basically stranded in the 1700’s for most of an hour. It sucked but it was hilarious.
At one hotel we wrote “fuck you” on a piece of paper and hid it under a desk lamp.
On that same trip I made every kid on the bus refuse to eat lunch because I opened my burger and pointed out it had a “weird texture”.
That’s enough detail that if you were in my class I’ve basically doxxed myself. But if you found that note under the lamp, I want you to know that I sincerely meant it.

My partner and I had a habit of treating merges as teamwork. Driver focuses on front, copilot looks back/sideways, and driver implicitly trusts when copilot says “go”. We were pretty slick with our merges.
To equivocate, we have since relocated to a city with good enough public transit that we were able to ditch our car entirely. Life is definitely better this way.

If you’re good at something, never do it for free.
There’s definitely a demand issue in some cases, however.

We’re getting into the body positivity discourse of a century old photo of dudes dressed like Beetlejuice’s day at the beach, so it pretty much goes without saying that we could all do with a gasp of fresh air.

I’m all for a low bar on male attractiveness - handsome is as handsome does. But, these fellas look barely this side of healthy

Is that a fun conversation for you? What are we after right now? I don’t get it.

There isn’t a set in stone amount of UBI for it to be called that. Even $100/mo would be UBI.
- Comment on Steam Next Fest has started once again. What good demos have you found? 1 week ago:
I showed my kid the trailer for bits & bops and he literally did a gasp of delight. Thanks for that :)
- Comment on Anon pitches a new game 1 week ago:
The profit incentive is toxic to creativity. Try to imagine how much cultural value is lost every single day because of no UBI and having to worry about a survival job.

What else would that be? Real villains don’t monologue unless they’re filibustering.

- Comment on TIL my decision to drive a 22' full cab pickup truck and vehemently oppose urban zoning reform makes me a defender of social justice, a warrior for the downtrodden, and more progressive than 99% [cont 1 week ago:
Don’t… Please don’t say it like that. We already had the stupidest sounding generation name.
I guess the devil shits on the biggest pile.

Hey, I just appreciate that so many people who are trying to waste my time aren’t subtle.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
It’s kind of weird how everyone seemingly wears their agenda on their sleeve around here. Like there’s one fella who only ever talks about hydrogen cars and they post almost nothing else. I think they blocked me.
Everyone with an agenda is super over the top about it, and I kinda like it that way.

Damn it she’s asleep I’ll have to show her this one later. Hmm. “Hey babe, check it out they made a statue of you…”

It’s important to have shared culture. Even if that culture is on par with the gut biome of a mung jumping aficionado

Watched Lupin III and the Castle of Cagliostro with my kid earlier, he really clicked with it

The really crucial thing is to have enemies who are subordinate to an ERB.

That’s crap. If you’re gonna give my kid a proper customizable soundboard so they can get creative with how they fuck with me at least that’s something. This is just lord of the flies conch shell shit
