Before I went independent, I made many thousands of parts for General Dynamics up to and including missile housings. It’s a shitty feeling.

It sounds like the name of a depressed Dr. Seuss villain.

This one hurts my soul.

Learning to learn:

Street fight scenes that last for 5 minutes.

You can’t just leave a tvtropes link without a warning! Some never make it back.

It feels weird to me to sometimes think I post a lot, only to realize that I really don’t.

The old skullet.

The wording is important here. It says “pretty orky” not “pretty orcy” as in 40k Orks, not Orcs.

That’s nothing. Cracker Barrel has been full of Christmas junk since August.

Edit: I a word

Ah, the Dashboard Confessional special.

I am legitimately upset. It takes more effort to make a red rectangle on an angle that adds nothing than it is to make a circle that adds nothing.

It’s a collective noun, like sand. You have individual bricks that make up a pile of LEGO. I don’t like it, personally, and just keep saying LEGOs.

He’s a pitcher full of Faygo.

I believe that this, particularly, is why many fast food restaurants are closing way earlier than they did several years ago. No, it isn’t because of the pandemic. It’s because someone (Gen Z) finally got fed up with the bullshit of managers dictating when they can work as opposed to a fixed schedule. No, no one should ever have to bear the burden of “picking up a shift” - that’s just shitty management and has been for around 60 years. We’ve all just bowed our heads and accepted that we need a job. Gen Z said, collectively, “Wait, what?” and the world will be better for it. Under no circumstance should someone ever be forced to work 2nd shift one day and early mornings the next.

The religious right loved DOOM initiaĺly because the whole goal is to kill demons. Of course you had the whole Jack Thompson thing going on, though. What a nightmare.

I had to look it up myself.

Textured or texturized vegetable protein (TVP), also known as textured soy protein (TSP), soy meat, or soya chunks, is a defatted soy flour product, a by-product of extracting soybean oil. It is often used as a meat analogue or meat extender. It is quick to cook, with a protein content comparable to some meats.

I remember being maybe 6 and napping on the “shelf” between the back seat and rear glass if my parents’ boat of a Cadillac. Not like there were seat belts to keep me in place.

Look, I really do dislike Linkin Park and always have, but you obviously have no clue about how people or their musical tastes work. You are the one that needs to grow up, both in perspective and empathy.
