Fuck Konami, but also mildly fuck Kojima.

I will never forgive him for his shitty treatment of David Hayter and other voice actors.

Plus structurally, even if it were off-the-shelf concrete vs mortar, it’s still structurally different, so I’m sure that also makes a difference.

Mostly I was just making fun of the phrasing and distinction without actually clarifying the difference.

So… Mortar.

IT’S TOTALLY DIFFERENT BRO

When I was in highschool I was home alone at an apartment complex, already riddled with anxiety, and would never answer the door.

Cops started banging on the door one day and it sounded like they switched to kicking at one point. Bellowing about how they’ll arrest anyone inside unless we open up.

They went around back and started banging on the glass sliding door when it didn’t slide open, which would of course have been claimed to be open the whole time I’m sure.

The management office across the street had left minutes beforehand, and one yelled about getting the keys, went over to bang on that door too.

After about half an hour of me frantically trying to get a response from my sister or parents, the former ignoring me because higshcool siblings, the latter were on a date night, they got really quiet and all hurried away. I assume someone finally realized they were in the wrong place. Were it any other situation I would have had things handled, but I was not prepared for cops.

Management got pissy about the boot scuffs all over the white door, and refused to believe it was cops since “police don’t make mistakes” (whitest boomer Karen you’ve never seen said this) and demanded we pay for the damage. My parents stuck by my story. Ultimately management just repainted everyone’s doors and trim a month later so it didn’t matter.

ACAB/ALLAB Combo right there.

Normal people: “this is SO me!” last done 2years ago

COMPLETELY unrelated, I have about $800 worth of RC equipment to make my own planes and cars, and haven’t touched it in over a year.

I want to break it out and make use of it to get my money’s worth, but apparently I don’t want to want to…

My 3 year old calligraphy set has only been used twice, and not even for the purpose they were purchased.

But It’s Very Important That You Never Drive Somewhere , Or Simply GO Somewhere , You MUST Be Travelling.

And Also Something With Capital Letters.

I mean… At least 5 minutes.

I also like to go with “Cosmically, nothing we ever do will amount to more than the life of a fly, so the end result is the same.”

It doesn’t go over well…

Next time someone says that, respond with “wow, so fuck anyone with brain issues that keep them from forming memories the same way you do, right? Guess grandpa Rick doesn’t care about my family since his accident, huh.”

you having a grandpa Rick, or family to speak of, is irrelevant. The point is, it forces them to confront the fact that there are many reasons someone might forget a thing. They’ll probably still be shift about it, but at least when they’ve unbunched their loads, they might think twice before immediately concluding the other person sucks for forgetting a thing.

Maybe I’m being optimistic with that, but I don’t appreciate when people try to assign my motives to me, instead of understanding my own, and get confrontational when that happens.

I still say that, knowing fully damn well that it probably was important and I going to feel like shit later for forgetting.

Big “as a gay black man” energy.

Frodo straight up cursed smeagol.

He sealed his own fate when he laid hands on Frodo trying to take it. Literally cursed him to fall into the crack of Doom to be destroyed alongside the ring.

Frodo has a little bit of the Ainur in him, methinks.

Yeah but I don’t want to be pretty all the time, so… checkmate, atheists?

I sent this to my mother, an avid believer in Pineapple on pizza, and even she thinks it’s an abomination

What kind of music does data listen to?

You might be quick to answer “Electronic”

We have been shown he listens to all kinds of music. At the same time.

In this ONE instance, I think it’s okay to ignore the rules. Although if data wanted to change the music, can anyone really stop him?

Oh no, something doing the bare minimum to survive is slightly affecting my leisure hobby! Better exterminate all of them in a 500 mile radius just to be sure I guess.

Honestly that works for so many different animals and hobbies, it’s a little disgusting.

“Chinese Taipei”

You (the author, not OP) mean Taiwan?

It finally clicked for a friend when I asked him if he knew how old the “young women” were in another case, and he said “I don’t know… 25?” which then got corrected to “16 or 17” when I reminded him that the “young women” in question were minors.

So finally I called out and asked his daughter to show us the cool picture she was working on in the study, and she excitedly runs in to show us. She was 9 at the time.

I asked him how he enjoyed the picture that “young woman” drew for us. I literally saw the change on his face when it clicked.

Hide a bin ladin or demon core in there and you’re good to go

Hanlon’s Razor and all that, but I just assume that’s to drive up interaction in the post.

Rant/ramble ahead, you can skip:

By misspelling something, or just doing/saying something that common sense should say is wrong (“life hack, I just discovered this thing that literally every 5 year old already knows about”) you will draw out all the people who are genuinely trying to help, people who just can’t help themselves but smugly correct someone, people who THINK they know the right way but aren’t sure, people who claim to have never seen the right way before, and all the bitch fights such comments produce.

The increased interactions make the post do better in algorithms, which means it goes out to more and more people, who continue the cycle.

My wife watches short form endless scrolling videos despite knowing how bad those are for your mental health, and some of the people she stops to watch are CONSTANTLY pulling the “common sense says otherwise” one. Like my dude you did NOT just figure out in your 20s that you can wait for the shower to warm up before you get in. Literal toddlers know better. It’s such a simple thing, I genuinely do not believe anyone in their 20s just gets in the shower while the water is still cold because they never figured out they can wait for the warm water. But hoooo boy did their video take off and have millions of views, and thousands of comments about how wild that is.
