- Comment on Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago 1 week ago:
I try hard not to make fun of people’s appearances. It’s not fair to mock them for their weight or their little mustaches or their ill-fitting camo gear.
But….
These are evil people arriving to do evil things. Sometimes ridicule is the only weapon we can use against them, since violence would only bring more of the same.
So I guess it’s fair to say that these fearsome warriors, hot off their recent and decisively clear victory over anorexia, will pour into Chicago, like beef gravy over pizza, and devour their chosen enemy, no matter how much sweat, panting, and snacks it takes…
Unless their enemy is at the top of more than 2 flights of stairs, of course.

Yes. It puts other people - uninvolved, innocent people - in mortal danger. Also it puts other people’s property in danger. It’s selfish and ignorant.

We’re talking about open anus wounds. The current American government is especially relevant, since the sitting president is an open anus wound gifted with the ability to speak.

Man I literally have an extra unused chimney on my house that I don’t want and it would probably cost me just as much to get rid of it.

- Comment on What’s even the appeal of Linux? 1 month ago:
I honestly don’t know. Every OS has its goods & bads. But generally I think it just comes down to whatever’s available. Personally, I use:
Windows on my work laptop (because that’s what they gave me),
MacOS on my personal laptop (because I like it),
Ubuntu on my home automation / media server (because it was free). - Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong - Release Date Trailer (September 4) 1 month ago:

- Comment on Going back to play Mario Kart 8 on my Switch 1 when everyone else has a Switch 2, FOMO 2 months ago:
I play MK8 against my kid, and never realized that the choice of carts makes a difference. Do the tires and glider make a difference too? I always just used the Mii Mercedes.
I rarely play it with him anymore, he prefers “Wreckfest” - which is a lot of fun too, but I find MK8 more challenging.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 2 months ago:
I feel like there may be some missing information. For example, if the customer had a coupon or other discount. The tip should be a percentage of the total before the discount. If they’re “adjusting” to tip less- based on the post-coupon price, fuck them.

When I was a teen working at Little Caesar’s, we set up a giant elastic band in our back door, and would launch our expired dough balls at the Burger King drive-thru window across the street. Then they’d call us and yell. Fun times.

Replace rain with “more stew ingredients” and you’re describing Perpetual Stew - a soup that is forever cooking, forever being eaten, forever being added to.
