Also, how hasn’t anyone learned that this kind of thing is an absolute guarantee? “It’s happened countless times. But it might not this time!”

Dorks. Put that shit back up. It’s neat!

Hell yeah! Thanks! Never wanted to get married. But I super do, now! I can’t wait to point out her ass to all the staff at our retirement home.

I played a song I wrote about cannibalism at an open mic night she was bartending at. She told me she liked my song and gave me a high five. I wanted to ask her out, but didn’t want to corner her while she was working, so I made some jokes and left.

She sent me a friend request on Facebook, so I sent her a message asking her out. Said something like, “Yo. You’re real pretty, and I wanted to ask you out, but doing that kind of thing while you’re behind a counter seemed uncool.” She said she was flattered, but she just started seeing somebody (I missed her by a week). She asked if I wanted to be friends, and I told her I was super attracted to her, so I wasn’t all that into being friends (in a super unshitty way). Being buds with someone I have a crush on is almost always a bad idea. But I didn’t completely close the door either.

I kept running into her, and we wound up getting closer anyway. I kept my boundaries (for the most part), and never hid that I was interested in her beyond friendship, but also wasn’t a lil creep about it, nor did I pressure her about anything, or try to guilt-trip, or any of those yucky things dudes do when they’re interested in someone who wants friendship. I was just very clear that I liked being around her, but wasn’t trying to be her best friend or anything from the get.

Her boyfriend was an abusive alcoholic, and like two yearas later, wound up on jail for a few months on his third DUI. She started hanging out more, I made my move, she dumped him while he was in jail (the only real safe way to do it), and now we’re engaged as fuck.

Sometimes people have to work shitty relationships out of their system, and I kinda pride myself on finding the balance on being around and available, but not TOO available, and real clear about my intentions. Wound up with the coolest, prettiest, kindest person I have ever met. I got hella lucky.

Yeah. I actually really like Michael Cera in the movie, but he’s not playing the same character. In the movie, he’s a loveable dipshit. In the comic, he’s more of an embarrassing asshole, with a TON of stuff to learn.

I love the movie, and I love the comics. But they’re both very different things.

You good? You seem like you’re having a bad day.

Sportsurge.net is what I’ve been using for a long time. Goes without saying, but use an adblocker.

MSG is an objectively good flavor.

Oh I’ll be “Stayin’ alive,” alright.

When I was a kid, my parents were thinking about building a house. The name of the contractor who was helping them was named “Kari A Hammer.” I might be spelling it wrong (I was eight), but that was his actual name.

I like to think he wanted to be a tattoo artist or something and hated carpentry, but was forced into it because of his name.

Yes.

Somehow I just saw these replies. That all sucks! I found him super entertaining. But fuck all of that.

Reminds me of this.

“It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see…” “You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?” “No,” said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, “nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.” “Odd,” said Arthur, “I thought you said it was a democracy.” “I did,” said Ford. “It is.” “So,” said Arthur, hoping he wasn’t sounding ridiculously obtuse, “why don’t people get rid of the lizards?” “It honestly doesn’t occur to them,” said Ford. “They’ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they’ve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.” “You mean they actually vote for the lizards?” “Oh yes,” said Ford with a shrug, “of course.” “But,” said Arthur, going for the big one again, “why?” “Because if they didn’t vote for a lizard,” said Ford, “the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?” “What?” “I said,” said Ford, with an increasing air of urgency creeping into his voice, “have you got any gin?” “I’ll look. Tell me about the lizards.” Ford shrugged again. “Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happened to them,” he said. “They’re completely wrong of course, completely and utterly wrong, but someone’s got to say it.” “But that’s terrible,” said Arthur. “Listen, bud,” said Ford, “if I had one Altairian dollar for every time I heard one bit of the Universe look at another bit of the Universe and say ‘That’s terrible’ I wouldn’t be sitting here like a lemon looking for a gin.”

Some people choose the weirdest things to get upset about.

Did you watch season three? It was no season one, but it was pretty good. I would not recommend watching it immediately after season one (because you’ll be comparing them a lot), but it’s definitely worth watching.

Super agree about season two though. It’s crazy that they tried to follow a nearly perfect piece of television with… whatever the fuck that was.

Ah shit, what?

Red Letter Media. Movies with Mikey, but he’s starting to focus more on Nebula. Internet Historian, but his videos come out like twice a year.

Edit: Nevermind on Internet Historian. As folks mentioned below, the dude sucks. Also it turns out my favorite video of his was plagiarized.

Sure feels like it. I am so tired and my back hurts.

I don’t think you can date an 18 year old as a 30 year old without an automatic abuse of power. Even so, what does that say as the (middle aged) adult?

Therapy might help with everything you said.
