I dunno how required it is, but I still make sure to do it.

Also I love it when I check in on my computer and it tells me I’ve successfully checked in, but then at the airport when I try to pull up my boarding pass on the app it acts like I haven’t checked in and makes me do it again.

“AAAAHHH! FUCK!”

I forget how old I was, but at some point as a kid I had this really big marble, and as dumb kids sometimes do, I kept sticking it in my mouth for no reason. Eventually I accidentally half-swallowed it and it was big enough to completely block my throat. I couldn’t breathe or make a sound, and I don’t think anyone else was even home at the time anyway. I legit thought I was gonna die, as much as I could process that as a kid, but I somehow managed to cough the marble up after a few seconds. I distinctly remember thinking to myself “okay don’t do that again,” and then absently sticking the marble back in mouth a minute later anyway.

Was watching youtube video called idiots of garry’s mod. Gman silently sit on bench and camera zoom in. Gman suddenly shout “pickle surprise!” and flail around. Young pickelsurprise think was funny. Spell pickle wrong on purpose because stupid. No change username for like 16 years.

Later find out meme is from other older weird video, but saw here first.

Yeah no we’re not turning this real-ass goddamn murder hobo into a meme format.

Is that whatserface from Reincarnated as a Bookworm?

I briefly saw something on the news to the effect of “concern for Mitch McConnell after xyz incident.”

I didn’t see the whole thing or what actually happened, but I did become very concerned that he’d survive.

He can be your angle or yuor devil

I don’t buy the idea that disintegrating my molecules and reconstructing new ones is tantamount to murder or suicide.

I definitely don’t think teleportation in science fiction is meant to be killing the person using it and making a clone of them. Like unless a story is specifically about that, I don’t think any given sci-fi author is trying to set up some sinister background plot where everyone is unknowingly killing themselves all the time.

But I do still have to wonder if that’s how it would end up working out in real life. Sure all our cells have died and been replaced since we were born, but that typically doesn’t happen with all your cells at the same time lol. imo it’s probably less about cells and more about like… Consciousness or “the soul” or whatever, I don’t know. Whatever it is, I accept that teleporters in fiction have some way to store and transport it, whether it’s stated in the narrative or not. But in real life I have no idea how we’d be able to tell if such a thing could even work.

Sadly yeah. Even in most of the edits you can still see his logo on the mug.

Damn I guess I misremembered. The Thanksgiving thing is a video he did, and despite it being like 90 minutes long I’ve gotten it as an ad on other videos. Haven’t watched the fuckin thing and I don’t plan to. Idk why I thought the sign had that slogan, but I feel like the video title used the same “change my mind” thing.

Yeah, I know I’d seen the original meme format around for years before I ever actually learned who Steven Crowder was lol. I imagine most people who post the memes don’t know either, or at the very least they’re not trying to promote him or anything, but it gets a little hard to unsee once you become aware of it.

Hey I looked at like the first five posts sorted by new, there was nothing else I could do.

The original one said something like “Thanksgiving isn’t racist, change my mind,” which is like… Not a thing that anybody says. The way Thanksgiving is taught to American kids is racist and full of revisionist history, but not even the ideal reddit caricature of an SJW would go around telling everyone that eating a turkey and mashed potatoes makes you racist. It was like inviting people to dEbAtE him on an issue that people aren’t really even trying to make, so he’d get to sit there like a smug asshole without having to do anything.

Edit: I remembered the wrong slogan, the original sign said something else. The Thanksgiving bit was from a video he did, iirc the title used the same “change my mind” naming convention.

Hell sometimes even when it does. There are some with really shitty locks and I’ve seen people just rip them open anyway and then blame the person inside for not locking it. It’s me, I’m the person inside.

So nice of insurance companies to decide that our teeth, eyes, and minds aren’t part of our bodies.

I had a coworker who loved to tell us about how he get married after taking a pickup artist class.

He’d sleep in his car in the office parking lot so he wouldn’t have to deal with his kids in the mornings.

Yeah cuz meeting people and getting to know them sucks on ice. I have no idea how you’re supposed to do it without like going to school and being forced to be around the same people all day until you figure out which ones you hate the least as a matter of survival.
