Are all text books nowadays written so blandly? The sentences are all structured the same, and it reads like a 6th grader’s book report. As an avid reader who’s been known to pick up text books for fun-time reading since childhood, this sort of shit would have put me off learning real quick. Or at least had me looking…

I also ask for drinks with no ice. I'm the worst.

I pre-ordered Metroid: Zero Mission at the only local GS, which was about 4 miles from the college campus where I lived. The town had crap or non-existent sidewalks and zero public transit. Also, it was due out in the middle of winter, and I had no car. I joked about this with the clerk while I made my pre-order,…

Agreed on the font/size. I thought I’d accidentally hit the scroll wheel and the ctrl key at the same time again.

My dad orders his coffee at 180 degrees. He sometimes gets the odd raised eyebrow from the barista taking the order, then he points out that he’s got a full upper plate of dentures, plus after all the dental work required for them did a lot of nerve damage, so he can withstand the heat.

The Bimbo HQ is down the road from where I live. Still makes me giggle when I drive by.

I was gonna say WATCH IT ANYWAY, IT’S WORTH IT, but seems you already did. Keep on keepin’ on!

Go to the fucking Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone next time. They have captive bears that can’t be re-integrated into the wild, AND they do educational talks all day about bear behavior and such. Obviously that would be helpful.

Excellent, cuz I was about to comment on how this week’s stories made me want to go punch an entitled person...

Was also going to say I was reminded of Tom Pryce. Gutting to watch.

I once fainted in front of a friend, and when I came to I thought I was dreaming that she was trying to wake me up. I thought to myself, “This is a very specific dream. I wonder what my subconscious is trying to tell me?”

“As long as my DNA is in my child’s blood...”

Are we related? Your dad sounds like one of my uncles. He likes to pull up as close as humanly possible to the car in front of him, even though it puts him at a disadvantage if they stall or he needs to get out of the lane, and if you so much as gently mention that to him, he flies off the handle and sulks for the…

She reminds me of my co-workers back in Montana, back when I was shuffled into the “admin” side of the business I worked for because “well, IT is kinda like admin, and you’d probably fit in with the women better anyway.” (Right, we saw how well that whole institutionalized sexism in the workplace worked out, she says…

Their marketing team is amazing. Too bad they’re marketing Fireball.

Could have gone my whole life without knowing that. Goddamnit. I’m not the praying type, but my thoughts and feelings are with her family.

I’ve gone through bouts of chronic pain. I hear you on feeling lucky when something finally works to stop it.

I was that bridesmaid. But I also talked to the bride ahead of time, because we both knew it was a financial hardship to get to her wedding halfway across the continent, stay somewhere probably expensive, and buy a dress that I would never wear again. She offered to help me with my travel and lodging expenses, and I…

Geez, I’m glad my TN went away on its own! When I had attacks, it was like the entire left side of my face gave up on functioning. Droopy eye, leaky nostril, almost a stroke-like appearance if I tried to smile...the worst one lasted 4 hours, and I spent it with that side of my face mashed against the cold tiles of my…
