I tend to see charisma like an RPG stat. You can give yourself skills to compensate for having a lower stat, but if you have a naturally high stat to start with you can somehow fly into a frothing rant and people will consider you a wordsmith for the ages, an unparalleled misunderstood genius because the bonus from…

Yeah in my hometown people acted surprised whenever it came out my dad was the one who did the cooking and the gardening (mom can’t cook and he found both cooking and gardening relaxing so who would tell him no?). It was like “yes, I work a full time job, cook, do outdoor house upkeep on the weekends, and still do…

Reminds my of the 4th of July last year. They blocked off most of our parking lot for the parade...after we were already parked, since we’re stockers who start work at 5am. None of us were even informed. Our manager demanded to know what we were supposed to do so as to not get blocked in (normally one of the three…

Yeah. I remember a classmate of mine in third grade had a breakdown in the hall when he about fell asleep standing up and the teacher asked why he’d been nodding off lately. Turned out his dad’s idea of bonding was keeping his kid up with him until 2am watching wrestling and so the kid was getting less than four hours…

It reminds me of a guy I knew for most of my childhood. His dad was rarely around, even when he was home. One of those “spend time with my kids only when I want to and on my terms” types. By the time we were in college his folks divorced and it came out that he hated his dad for acting more like an adult roommate than…

Everyone but Cream the bunny is pretty badass and she’s like a kindergardener so she’s off the hook. Blaze the cat is a magical time traveling princess, Amy Rose the hedgehog is one hell of a bruiser (if boy obsessed in regards to Sonic, but she pretty much gained superpowers from all her chasing him so...yay?) the…

Thanks for the report. Was thinking I wasn’t going to see a single serious post.

Yep. I’d have been fine with Jordan playing Johnny Storm if they’d actually written the character as Johnny Storm—funny, friendly, the heart of the team, that kind of deal. Instead he just came across as Sue’s angry brother. Every single one of the characters felt In Name Only to me. I mean Doom was the worst but none…

Thank you! I was looking for it but google kept not cooperating.

I first read it in middle school. Totally went over my head. Makes more sense as an adult.

I’m also finding it hard to find info on the scientists’ march which is supposed to be in April. That’s not good.

Thank you for at least having a constructive comment. I do feel too much of the time the left does no do work into fully planning something out.

Oh for crying out loud.

Yep. I got my dad’s old 4 in college in 2012 (against my will but they paid the phone bill so) and only got an SE last Christmas because my parents were doing a deal that required getting multiple phones and were like “hey Tza, yours is old, we’re doing yours in this!” and I was like “okay, you pay the phone bill.”

HuffPo did an interesting article pointing out a major literary work in a lot of alt-right thought, The Camp of the Saints. It’s a super racist and anti-immigrant book. And a lot of dumb guys think it’s coming real right now, especially since the book had a pro-refugee pope from Latin America. It explains a lot, in a…

Yeah my great aunt joined my aunt’s plan recently, saved them both money. I’m still on my parents’ because I use almost no minutes and data compared to them so it’s either they pay a few bucks or I pay a lot of bucks.

Yeah. Most apartments, even cheap ones, in my area came with a fridge. A cheap fridge, but it normally came with the place. People routinely bought microwaves off college kids for twenty bucks (that was how I got my college microwave and what I sold it for).

It reminds me of this Fox segment that was around when I was in college. Somehing like “ZOMG, 97% of “poor” people have refrigerators! 85% have microwaves! 70% have some sort of cell phone! 37% have dishwashers! how dare they call themselves poor!”

Quoth my father: The government has a bad habit of spending one hundred dollars to make sure it does not “waste” one dollar.
