… They didn’t before? Why not? It only makes sense.

Oof, you must have gotten a shipment of Ferengi pencils, they can be a little… “Eccentric”

He’s something of a messiah, himself.

I was gonna ask “And just how long is this pork, exactly?”

It definitely made me double-take at first because my brain tried to read “burners” at first until I realized that isn’t what it said…

And I thought the torches were flags for a second, too.

Banners of books

People who exist to ban books from being read

That or there’s a giant banner stretched out and made entirely of books just to the left.

I’ve been told I need to redo paperwork because I marked the date like 12APR2025.

I get standardization for computers, but for something a person is going to look at I feel like it’s very direct, needs no explanation or interpretation. Anyone who sees it should be able to figure it out instantly.

Every so often while working retail we would get an out-of-towner in the store while that happens.

They lose their shit and panic.

One time at a sports store, a guy heard the sirens at the checkout counter and just left the cart and booked it for his car. I guess he figured he would outrun anything coming at him…

The last two places I’ve lived choose a specific Wednesday of the month to test, and always at noon.

They still test in rain, so every so often you still feel that mild panic again until you look at the clock.

Don’t judge until you try some ghost dick for yourself.

It’s still weak, just like humans are still slow.

At least compared to other animals.

But like gravity, we just keep going. And going. And going.

And when the animals we hunted collapsed from exhaustion, we just kept coming. And then took it all the way back we came.

Just like gravity.

We can try to keep going until we just can’t anymore, but gravity will just grab us and haul us back.

Compared to the other forces, gravity is a weak ass bitch.

$5 delivery

Ugh. They always try to get you with the shipping… Pass.

It’s very much the “you’re locked in here with me” moment.

It’s been a bit concerning seeing all the people just giddy with the prospect of millions of people dying from internal issues, either idiotically not understanding or simply being too naive, that when an animal dies, it doesn’t go quietly. Especially not when it senses the cause of its death is near.

And I believe enough people will view the rest of the world as the cause, I genuinely think if it came down to losing control permanently or causing the literal end of the world by launching as many nuclear and conventional strikes as possible before death takes them.

Personally, I don’t relish the downfall of any major country, and despite other countries issues I’d rather see them overthrow their tyrannical governments than grab popcorn and cheer as they crumble to civil wars and starvation. That just seems a bit too close to being “arch villain from a cartoon” for my taste.

I’d really like to see the Cure For Fascism being used here in my own country, but unfortunately “be the change you want to see in the world” just leaves a dead crazed lone gunman in the street. Organization will be needed.

I absolutely like pests!

I like them to stay out of my house, mostly.

But you know, all the other stuff that helps keep us alive is a big bonus, too.

Damn, I’ve heard jokes about quebecios being snobby with their French but that seems excessive.

Which makes it all the more hilarious that the French people I know have joked about Quebec speaking “garbage French”

Planes over Toblerone?

Serious answer: not sure but I’d guess “bumps ahead” or something like that.

Well, I know what other video I’m never watching.

And people wonder why I don’t like being around any vehicle that carries things…

I paid 1k for my shitty pickup in 2018, it’s in worse condition than when I got it, and about 100,000 more miles on it.

It’s supposedly worth 3500 now. It needs about $300 worth in parts alone to get it into what I would consider a condition worth buying.

I don’t understand.

If it’s what I’m thinking of, camera footage of a vehicle interior.

Driving down the highway, going under an overpass when a brick gets tossed by some kids and goes through the window.

Passenger hit, husband is driving and screams.

You know that scream they mention in The Princess Bride? That “only someone experiencing ultimate suffering” can make?

If you know, you know.
