  Nah, just spend the week before the date going over all that stuff in your head over and over and over, making sure it basically the only thing on your mind. Practice ALL the conversations you’re going to have. over and over again.

  Then when things don’t go exactly as rehearsed, panic and blurt out something stupid. If she laughs, she’s a keeper - and if she doesn’t leave she has flag color blindness.

  Perfect system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I forgot something today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You forgot to check your voicemail and missed the message that they finally found a compatible organ donor for you. Since you didn’t respond they gave it to a racist landlord who funds a bum fighting ring instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how can I identify problems i'm having⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Ouija

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Road Rage⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to see the relative percentage of morons on the road who are also driving busses to skyrocket. So same am I not!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ignorance is bliss⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Getting my cat an email account has really fast-tracked his business, plus I don’t have to listen to the fax machine all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do we stop people from defending billionares and trillion dollar companies?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And how do we that?

  It’s simple, we kill The Batman.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Poit!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cruel and unusual⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They already invented this for me and aptly called it a dickey (the turtleneck variety).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you purchase a burner phone anonymously in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Currently you can, but there was news last month the FCC is planning to force carriers to verify ID before allowing them on their networks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah yes, security.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is where oauth helps. I just log in with my identity provider of choice, and no one has to know I signin there with admin/password.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'll grab the tortillas⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  10 to 2

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Attorney general: ‘Everyone is Welcome Here’ sign cannot be displayed in Idaho schools⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only boomers and hate group members are allowed in Idaho. That sign was false advertising.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me attending "AI University" at work today⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m required to use AI at work, so I skip training and have claude burn tokens on a summary of the transcript which I won’t read. Sometimes job requirements handle each other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For real though⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re welcome.

  (I say as if there was anything useful in any of my deleted Reddit comments)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"feminine"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  waifu pillow and film replica swords mounted to the wall

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have to pay for those Mr.Flock⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate those “find every body orifice” captchas. Does an earlobe count as an ear? Does a Mercedes C-class count, since they’re exclusively driven by assholes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quack Quack bitch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a cat that would stop at nothing to get at any birds in my house. Feathered toys don’t last long and she has a long standing feud with neighborhood crows (who like to taunt her from the yard).

  She’s an indoor cat and birds are outside friends - the balance must be maintained!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have to pay for those Mr.Flock⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sphincter based age verification legislation is probably already working its way through several US states and Australia by now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ahoy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Books are pretty straight forward. And based on what I see out on the high seas, video can’t be that much harder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gottem⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  GOT EM!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ahoy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless you’re specifically talking about their digital movie, music, book, or game services.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ahoy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If that’s amazon, what does “Piracy” from Spirit Halloween look like?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Was Pedro Pascal objectively "in everything"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have any numbers.

  Personally I didn’t notice the attitude shift about him until the Mandalorian movie came out and it was obvious that he was probably on set for 2 hours for that top billing role, while doubles were wearing the armor in every scene but one. It, to me, seems like one part of a growing frustration with current blockbuster movies (the kind that really like to cast Pascal). Everything is green screen, stories are recycled, its all about marketing, and now the actors aren’t even there half the time any more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Volkswa what now?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I never noticed before how the center of the VW logo looks a bit like the taint of a person with pointy butt cheeks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I could quit AI anytime I want to⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the 3rd of 4th time recently that I’ve heard someone, directly or indirectly, describe AI like meth. The first one was Hank Green when he said something along the lines of getting hooked on ‘being able to get things done faster,’ which is exactly how many people end up meth-heads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And The Lord Said BOUNCE!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One day I’ll learn that swiping keyboards and lack of proof-reading are a bad combination, but today is not that day!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And The Lord Said BOUNCE!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes, not often, I see things that make me with I was a modern kid. A bouncy castle pipe organ is somehow on that list.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To “tent with aluminum foil”…⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its a human nature thing, I think. Like sometimes if something sounds too obvious we assume it has to be more complicated than that. The same way many people don’t realize a “meltdown” is a nuclear core literally melting downward through the ground.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To “tent with aluminum foil”…⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You just make a tent out of aluminum foil.

  Sometimes the meaning is clear from the name, but just to keep you on your toes they’ll then talk about creaming butter or a bain-marie for melting chocolate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They were everywhere and a pack was just a quarter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My parents tell the story of the time, before I was born, that they were totally out of money and cigarettes but managed to scrape together just enough for a pack from the machine at the bar. My dad put the money in and the machine jammed. He fought with it until it started spitting money out of the coin return at him. Someone put a Susan B Anthony dollar in, right after they were introduced, and it blocked it up. There was like $10 backed up behind it and it carried them to payday.

  But that particular one is an art dispenser at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. Or at least they were installed there before the pandemic, I think the hotel has had 2 new owners since then.
