It tonally seems to be close to some of the most interesting Joker stories lately, which are usually interesting reads because you’re inside the head of an unreliable narrator.

Ah, “one more turn” in Civ...

As an addictive person, it was interesting to see multiple lines of addiction drawn here. Gordon is mentally addicted, refusing to admit the truth. But he’s also physically addicted to the hormones flowing through him. Bortus is physically addicted to a literal chemical. And the punchline is that “if addiction was a…

For reference:

Suddenly Last Summer.

I googled “black and white elizabeth taylor films” and found the same outfit. Took me a few tries to find the right search query.

Goldschmidt is also on pace for 162.

If it’s as easy to flash as a SNES Classic I’ll get it. I’ve never played a Genesis in my life save for Aladdin on a kiosk at my orthodontist’s.

It’s the principle of the matter. I made sure I never forgot an item on a delivery. It’s not that complicated. And if I went out to get food, and ordered a specific item, it’s a big disappointment for it to be wrong or missing. If you don’t bring mistakes up, there will be 0 incentive for the business to try harder.…

Yeah, I seem to recall as a kid reading about strong men at carnivals and stuff that’d take cannon balls to the gut or otherwise would claim they felt no pain, and a lot of them died from ramping up the exhibits till something would crush their ribcage or break their back or whatever.

My Domino’s franchise would send you a postcard to replace the item, with a free side, next time you order. You had to produce the postcard for the offer, and still meet the delivery minimum.

I’ve had mistakes at fast food in the past, and usually if I talk to a manager the same thing happens - Jack in the Box has sent…

In marching band we actually had cheerleaders in band. They’d cheerlead during the game while we did pep music, and then join us on-field in their cheerleading uniforms. It was weird.

When I take a Lyft, it’s because my public transportation options don’t line up with my schedule. I live on the fringe of St. Louis, where the buses run hourly. Yesterday, to make an appointment at 2:15, I had to leave my house at 12:40 to show up at 1:30 to be there on time. To go to the grocery store is 1 hour 40…

Twizzlers, like any of the leading fruity candies, stick all over my teeth and are way too sweet. Also they usually cost WAY more than Red Vines.

I never got to hunt snipes but I did get to participate on the other side of it.

See, that’s fun, harmless “hazing”. Prank is a better word. There’s no intent to harm anyone, nothing dangerous is happening, and it’s all in good fun. It’s sort of like doing trust falls or team-building exercises - I think it’s a…

There are two types of people: those that are hazed and work to end it for the future because it sucks, and people that are hazed and think it’s only fair that everyone else suffers as well.

Just like how all modern crops have been “genetically modified”.

I can completely see how they might fit a certain “aesthetic”. I mean, the building also has wooden siding.

The New 52 run you mention did go somewhere, in that it told a complete story.

I can’t even extend my middle finger if the rest are half-bent.

I’m in the hospital a lot, and that’s where 95% of my vivid dreams have happened. Nearly all of them bad. Lots of dreams about loss of control, a contorted world (like everything is on a slope that makes walking impossible), fighting off burglars, that kind of stuff. Usually would wake up sweating, which I never…
