I’m with you. Hope we can do it without violence but it is looking grim.

Don’t worry, there won’t be another.

Where, might I ask? For a friend. Asking for a friend.

No, your comment was perfectly in context. I was nominating it as a perfect addition to an all time greatest list of post that, out of context, are amazing.

Only if I’m standing across the room and my brain calculates that the time it takes to close the distance is within the time remaining on the countdown and I get to do a badass flip, twirl, and slide to stop it just in the nick of time so I get to pretend I have super hero level reflexes.

I cannot do badass flips but the point still stands. I can twirl and slide though, as long as I’m wearing socks.

Nominating for best of out-of-context comments.

If you tell them they’re only going to do something equally or more stupid in the future. If you don’t they will learn their lesson, albeit the hard way.

I may not be a great candidate for parenthood…

Great recommendation and knife user therapy in one post. Thanks!

Be careful… If you get in an accident I guaran-god-damn-tee you they will use it as an excuse not to pay out. Maybe after a lawsuit you’d see some money but at that point half of it goes to the lawyer and you’re still screwed.

I actually think you’ve just described the current political climate in the US.

Seconded. But… Sometimes the only place I can find the answer to an obscure issue I’m having is a comment on a nine year old reddit post six responses deep.

I do find it with Kagi, but I still feel dirty every time.

Dear future historians: You wil look back in horror but know that we feel helpless. The only parallel we have ended in a world war that had to be ended by a newly arisen superpower. And that scares the shit out of us.

My Pre and Kyocera 6035. Never forget.

That is glorious. I’ve never wanted to read an entire book more.

People not getting things that seem obvious is an ongoing theme, it seems. We sat through a presentation at work by some guy who enthusiastically pitched AI to the masses. I don’t mean that’s what he did, I mean “enthusiasm” seemed to be his ONLY qualification. Aside from telling folks what buttons to press on the company’s AI app, he didn’t know SHIT. And the VP got on before and after and it was apparent that he didn’t know shit, either. Someone is whispering in these people’s ears and they’re writing fat checks, no doubt, and they haven’t a clue what an LLM is, what it is good at, nor what to be wary of. Absolutely ridiculous.

Never relax… The universe can sense when you’re content and will balance itself.

What’s that sound? Is it supposed to make it? Did it make it before? Is that wet? Why is it wet? That bug is new, haven’t seen one like that. Electric bill is higher this month. Got the escrow statement; it went up again. That crack… Seems longer. Door squeaks again. Was the drain recessed like that? Are you sure? That’s loose, should probably do something about it. Gotta run to the hardware store. They’re backordered on that thing that melted in the fire. The AC is dripping again. Is the water pressure lower than usual? What’s that smell? Is it coming from under there? Why is the milk spoiled? Is the fridge warm to you? Grass is long again. Sprinkler got run over by a neighbor. We need to do something about the dead tree.

Literally things said at my house IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS. Holy shit why.

Not a bad list, but 6/9 being there and not pi or 11/32 is just criminal.

The idea that moving your finger slightly to support the smoothe functioning of traffic and the welfare of other humans is not “masculine” enough makes me want to castrate some fuckers.
