This isn’t limited to Rick and Morty. Most dudes in fandom these days see themselves as gatekeepers. And almost always trying to drive the gals away. And then they bemoan that they can’t find a girlfriend who’s into the same things they are. MAYBE YOU COULD IF YOU HADN’T CONVINCED HER THAT A WOMAN-BEATING SPORTSBALL…

Yeah, but if it continues into their teens, we end up with a second dictionary definition of “literally” that directly contradicts the first one.

Sloppy Joe casserole is easy and a guilty pleasure. Make Sloppy Joes. Put in casserole dish. Open a tube of refrigerated crescent roll dough. Roll it out into one big sheet the size of the dish. Cover. Bake until crust is brown. Cut into squares like lasagna and serve.

“I’m Just Here For The Food” by Alton Brown. Half culinary science textbook written by Bill Nye the Science Guy, half cookbook with recipes intended to demonstrate a technique. This book will teach you not merely WHAT to do, but WHY you do it. This book is a game changer.

I remember this one bully that kept coming after me for no damn reason in elementary school. The school refused to do anything other than tell me “stay close to the lunch ladies.” Which didn’t really deter him because he was a psychotic little shit who wasn’t afraid of a bunch of old women who would fall over in a…

My dad was the “do the hardest bit first and get it out of the way” type. This turned out to be a bad idea. Due to 6th grade me showing an understanding of decimals by comparing them to money, I was promoted to the 7th grade math book when I’d struggled to get past the 5th (and every previous year... math was NEVER my…

“Not cute,” she says.

Five buck chuck will never be a good drinking wine.

Going to bed is seen as morally good. Sleeping late is seen as morally bad. #AllSleepMatters

Oh, they CAN answer. They just don’t want to because they’re having trouble spinning it.

Insufficient. Boston’s various suburbs each have their own variant Townie accent. You can’t really tell if you’re not a local, but there are distinct differences between someone from Charlestown and someone from Somerville.

I had cheezburgr.

Or you could just go to Fark and get actual moderation instead of a bunch of 4chan rejects who don’t really know what the horribly racist words they use actually MEAN...

HALLOWEEN IS COMING.

But it’s great for deglazing a pan you just seared a steak in!

If you played the game, you’d know that your character just happened to be with a friend who decided to shoplift. There’s no indication that your character even knew it was happening.

Eh, I use Social Fixer for Facebook. I like its feature set (including many of the default filters, like whatever big sports game is on... I hate sports, so I don’t wanna see that... it also auto-hides spoilers if it detects them), and it’s not about to get nailed by Facebook for stealing their name. I also use…

I made a checklist version of this as a Word document (two columns of a two column table, one the checkbox and the other the item name) years ago. But my idiot housemates will put whatever they want wherever they want on the paper, which annoys me when I get to that section and have to double back because they’re too…

And a broad-brimmed one keeps the sun out of your eyes.

Or keep scoring in youth sports so they actually learn to handle losing and their parents can learn to handle the fact that their kid ain’t the next sports superstar.
