you should watch digimon s3

I love getting unaccompanied minors (kids flying alone) who so clearly just. Don't want to be here lol. Sometimes I get to know a little of their story, like their parents are divorced, or a family member died and they're heading to the funeral, but usually they just don't want to talk about it and that's fine. But I always treat the flight like it's a challenge to make them smile. I offer them snacks and soda but that's never enough, that's whatever, they could get those from an airport vending machine. Chump change. So then I tell the worst jokes. Just the most embarrassing, kindergarten teacher, annoying dad jokes you can think of. And those always get a groan, or a "Seriously??" And that's my in! Now I can say "Why, what's your idea of a good joke? No, come on hotshot, make your best joke, let's see it." And they hem and they haw but of course they eventually tell me their very best joke because kids are little competitive comedy goldmines. And it's always super funny, so I laugh, and that's where they slip up. Because you know what you almost always do when your joke successfully makes someone laugh? You smile. And I'm like. Gotcha. Rookie move. Now you're going to end up having a good time in spite of yourself. I win.

Did this with an 11yo u.m. today and he said "What did the ghost say to the other ghost?" And I said "What?" "Nothing. Ghosts aren't real."

buzz aldrin and neil armstrong liked to do a thing where they’d tell unfunny jokes at parties about being on the moon and when people were confused they’d go “guess you had to have been there”

Context for anyone who is wondering: Lamine Yamal's parents won an UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot in which Barça players posed with kids, and 5 month old Lamine happened to get 20yo Messi. Which is like. Literally insane

Am I allowed to sexualize the puppet from project hail mary or do I have to wack it to Ryan Gosling because I will if I have to but frankly I'd rather have that alien skittering all over me like a sexy bug. Fuuuck they call him rocky because he make my rock hard

Why do horror game protagonists always buy the worst flashlights? A flashlight that can kill a Dracula is like 20 bucks. Why are you grabbing grandma's old flashlight with a dying bulb from 1992 and going into the woods at night?

more people need to start making OCs because I just saw a post of a woman who named her real life human baby O'lyrix and I think that child's life could've been saved if mommy had just gotten all her quirky naming conventions out on a fantasy character instead of inflicting it on someone who's gonna have to submit a job application someday

Imagine getting sexually harassed and then someone posts about it with a supernatural meme

one of the most annoying things about having a natural inclination to curiosity and asking questions that might make me seem stupid, so that i can learn and not be stupid, means that many many many people view themselves as more superior and significantly smarter than me, with no evidence or proof to support the feeling. they'll posture themselves above me, like some sort of patronizing monarch who obviously knows everything better than anyone (espcially me!), and then they talk to me like i am a literal child blinking up at them with wide, confused eyes. and if i tell them something they don't know? they get mad because i was smarter than them and they think i'm supppsed to be an idiot, so what does what make them? it makes me wanna fucking rage hulk out
