I do not have puppet cancer!

Whenever they gave us one of those "read through ALL the instructions before you begin!" trick assignments in school where the steps lead you on an increasingly ridiculous goose chase until the final one tells you to just put your name on the paper and turn it in without doing anything else, I was always like, "Okay, but what's the point? Surely the REAL world won't be anything like this." And then I grew up and discovered that not only is the real world often exactly like that, some people won't even read the first line of the instructions even if they make perfect sense. And these people are called "co-workers"

niche nitpick I know but a "moot point" is not something that isn't worth talking about. it is literally the opposite. "moot" is a word for a citizens' assembly that has cognates throughout the Germanic (especially Scandinavian) languages. originally saying something was a "moot point" meant that it shouldn't be talked about right now, instead it should be tabled until it could be fully debated with the entire community present. the slide from that meaning to "this isn't important" probably has something to do with the emergence of the idea that politics isn't real life. anyway when someone says something is a moot point you should be like "cool, I'll call the lawspeaker and ask them to put it on the agenda"

I'm going to absolutely flatten you when we debate this on the Law Rock in front of the chieftains

I usually don't daydream about meeting my blorbos (leave me out of it) but. What if Bobby Drake was real. And could come sit on my couch. It's 102 degrees outside.

Will humanity ever be free of the influence of Edna Mode? Can any of us so much as consider the character design for a hero or villain without her manifesting in the room, fully aware of our sins?

You know what, another layer of difficulty is when you’re thinking about villains, and the wise words of Megamind come into your head. You don’t just want your child to be just a regular villain. But how do you make your villain a Supervillain with no cape? Where is the drama? But Edna says no capes, you must deny them the flair. It is impossible to please them both, and it’s tearing this family apart.

I can’t believe the compromise is Obi-Wan Kenobi

Okay, but I love that Gandalf is just dropping his cloak to reveal another, slightly smaller cloak underneath it.

At least on 'the price is right' you know (because someone *actually told you*) that you are playing a guessing game and that there is an over/under mechanic and that the conquence of guessing wrong isn't a punishment or damaged relationship or getting fired

On an unrelated note my psychiatrist has given me a referal for a formal ASD evaluation

wow you have dogshit taste (remembers im trying to be nicer to people who like different things) uh i mean, it's beautiful how the breadth of human experience is so wide it encompasses those with good taste and those with dogshit taste

i think we are long overdue for a game that does the reverse of 90s first person shooters and actively makes fun of the player for picking the hard difficulty

The people who insist AI is smarter than a human are doing their fucking damnedest to manifest that

Not sure got to feel when the hobby book says this should only take an hour but it took me 5 hours.
