Soul crushing. I’m incredibly good at the job but every morning, I look at my case queue and the shotgun on my shelf starts glowing purple.

I wouldn’t have been good at any other career, but maybe I could have been happy while floundering.

This fucking rules.

Bring back Strong Zero! Yes, I know they still make them and you can still find them. But they aren’t as convenient anymore. And who knows how long they will last now. I’m sad.

The clutch is a third pedal to the left of the brake which lets you disengage the engine and transmission so you can change the gear then let the pedal out, engaging the new gear.

With a clutch, the brake pedal is usually really narrow. So when you get into an automatic instincts will tell you to press the clutch and change gears but that pedal doesn’t exist and the wide brake pedal is there instead. Instead of changing gears, you slam the brake.

I recently visited an IKEA in Japan. They write it as 「ブローハイ」

Been happening a lot longer than you imagine. I stopped using Reddit when the third party apps got shut down. At least the last year of my time there was calling out repost bot accounts. Threads like that on smaller subs with week moderation were really common.

Even on some better moderated subs, they got through.

Reddit died for me a long time ago.

If you knew what that one knew, you’d be screaming too.

Fedora Core 4…? I have yet to fully take the plunge but we’ll get there.

She put out a video explaining that she sees the humor in all this but realizes that this picture is now a part of that, which is a bummer. I think it could go down as the least flattering picture of a person of all time. In said video, she looks lovely and clearly takes great care of herself.

Reading so many stories like this through my life, and now all this on top of that, is relying on the lived experience of transfems to make absolutely sure I never bother with it. I would love nothing more but I’ve already got too much to worry about. I don’t need all this, too. I wouldn’t survive it.

It’s Yoshi. The “T” stands for “Tax Fraud.”

At least somebody is.

Holy hell, that’s a wildly supurb owl.

Otakon registration line, probably about 2014. The line wrapped the Baltimore convention center two times.

Unrelated but you just said “but fuck”.

Getting comfortable not owning your games?

I was once listening to The Pillows’ “I Think I Can” around a friend. Japanese band, lots of their songs are in English but you’d never know through the singer’s heavy Japanese accent. He repeats the titular line a lot in the song and my friend thought he was singing “I lick my cunt.”

That was 15 years ago and it’s still all I hear when I listen to the song.

Sounds like he’s starting to get impatient waiting for his god.

But I don’t want to stop.
