Oh, we don't do compassion and positive reinforcement around here.

I would have sprung for a professionally made sandwich board or spinny sign.

I really hope this guy got some high-fives for his trouble.

This, exactly. It was a fad because it was almost unobtainable prior to that era.

We were here with our InstaPot chicken wings. Now it's air fryers and 'seed oil free' french fries.

Never has there ever been a more load-bearing-linchpin use of the word "salad".

I'm calling it now. Streaming services are going to continue to double-down on artificial scarcity for flagship shows until we 100% converge on cable. They're going to reinvent broadcast schedules after slow-drip weekly episode rollouts and half-seasons (you are here) don't get the results they want.

I was always anti-bully, on account of having been bullied at a young age.

I see any group, any camp, any political party treat other human beings like garbage, and that's all it takes to know who the bad guys are. It doesn't matter how you package the rest of your platform - where your party clocks in terms of humanitarian ethics and basic empathy has been a damn good yardstick for the rest.

From that vantage point, much of this kind of rhetoric and boomer-era politicking has absolutely no relevance for me. I've heard this one before - conservatism as a function of age - and I'm as mystified as ever that it's the kind of thing that gets tossed around.

where we compared the four different sign languages the two of us use

You buried the lede. How does something like that even happen? I feel like the odds of two sign-language polyglots being in the same room, let alone in a romantic relationship, are vanishingly small.

7 jobs? Where?!

They're all in government. Plus you have to relocate to D.C. and you'll be paid below market rate.

Yeah, that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

To be fair, this bus is always on time.

At first, I thought you were describing a zero-depth vaginoplasty sort of situation, but then realized you really did order "nuttin'". I'll admit, I was just as confused as Jimmy. Thanks for digging up this classic ad too.

I have no questions (your replies here tell the whole story already), but just wanted to say: this is incredible and I'm happy for you!

With the rise in popularity of Anime like "Delicious in Dungeon" and "Campfire Cooking in Another World", I wouldn't be surprised if people are honestly giving a "cooking bard" character a shot. I'm intrigued myself, but am curious if the RaW for this bard college works in practice. Is anyone out there playing one of these?

I used to really enjoy sites like this. I know there's joke accounts on Twitter and other sites here and there, but I haven't seen anything lately that has the whole site as one big running gag.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q%26A_comedy_website

A Q&A website is a website where the site creators use the images of pop culture icons, historical figures, fictional characters, or even inanimate objects or abstract concepts to answer input from the site's visitors, usually in question/answer format. This format of website, most popular in the early 2000s, evolved from the much older Internet Oracle. The original progenitor of this type of site was the now-defunct Forum 2000. The Forum 2000 claimed to have run the site by means of artificial intelligence, and the personalities on the website were called SOMADs, or "State Of Mind Adjointness pairs". However, later Q&A sites usually dispensed with this pretense, with the most extreme example being Jerk Squad!, on which the administrators of the site provide many of the answers.

FTA:

Two Democratic legislators are introducing a bill on Wednesday aimed at Mr. Musk and the so-called Buffalo Billion project, in which the state spent $959 million to build and equip a plant that Mr. Musk’s company leases for $1 a year to operate a solar panel and auto component factory.

The bill would require an audit of the state subsidy deal to “identify waste, fraud and abuse committed by private parties to the contract.” It would determine whether the company, Tesla, was meeting job creation targets, making promised investments, paying enough rent and honoring job training commitments.

If Tesla was found to be not in compliance, the state could claw back state benefits, impose penalties or terminate contracts.

Some of you may remember this absolute diamond of insanity that was the "4-Day Time Cube." This was the go-to example of the internet as a universal amplifier for communication - for both the sane and insane alilke. It was there from nearly the start of the world-wide web, back in the 1990's. Alas, it ceased to be some time ago, but it still lives on in our hearts.

For the uninitiated: welcome. Read and join the rest of us that are "educated stupid."
