I dunno how required it is, but I still make sure to do it.

Also I love it when I check in on my computer and it tells me I’ve successfully checked in, but then at the airport when I try to pull up my boarding pass on the app it acts like I haven’t checked in and makes me do it again.

“AAAAHHH! FUCK!”

I forget how old I was, but at some point as a kid I had this really big marble, and as dumb kids sometimes do, I kept sticking it in my mouth for no reason. Eventually I accidentally half-swallowed it and it was big enough to completely block my throat. I couldn’t breathe or make a sound, and I don’t think anyone else was even home at the time anyway. I legit thought I was gonna die, as much as I could process that as a kid, but I somehow managed to cough the marble up after a few seconds. I distinctly remember thinking to myself “okay don’t do that again,” and then absently sticking the marble back in mouth a minute later anyway.

Was watching youtube video called idiots of garry’s mod. Gman silently sit on bench and camera zoom in. Gman suddenly shout “pickle surprise!” and flail around. Young pickelsurprise think was funny. Spell pickle wrong on purpose because stupid. No change username for like 16 years.

Later find out meme is from other older weird video, but saw here first.

Yeah no we’re not turning this real-ass goddamn murder hobo into a meme format.

Is that whatserface from Reincarnated as a Bookworm?

Complication from Durarara

Pleasure from Fruits Basket The Final

U from Belle and really the entire score

Ninelie from Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

Underground River from Made in Abyss

Dive in the Sky from Planetes

Hopefully at least one of those will be along the lines of what you’re looking for lol.

Plata o plomo

Yeah. I don’t necessarily even want to retire right now, it’s more that hanging axe feeling that I’m never going to be able to, between decreasing purchasing power and increasing age requirements for retirement benefits. Makes it hard to get motivated to work knowing I’m going to have to keep doing it until I’m in my grave.

You don’t pay my sub. (My girlfriend does.)

I briefly saw something on the news to the effect of “concern for Mitch McConnell after xyz incident.”

I didn’t see the whole thing or what actually happened, but I did become very concerned that he’d survive.

Probably Ted the Caver for me. I feel like a lot of creepypastas go way overboard in trying to pull the rug out from under you in a gotcha moment or straight up just making an OC don’t steal, but I always thought the more grounded and minimalist creepypastas did a better job.

Headphone jack for sure. Like 90% of my phone usage is either listening to music or watching videos, so decent audio is like the only thing I care about lol.

I feel like I don’t hear from them much anymore. Maybe it’s because I’ve managed to finally cut all of them out of my life. Or maybe it’s because they’ve realized that even the people who do accept that climate change is real still aren’t going to do anything about it because even the softest, most hands-off forms of mitigation would be too disruptive to capitalism.

I feel like that quote is better interpreted as “you haven’t failed until/unless you give up.” There is also value to “don’t go into something without committing to it,” but damn not everything has to be a fucking job.

Man creates dinosaurs

Dinosaurs eat man

Woman inherits the earth

Damn I really like this one lol

Eh, if it’s coming from an adult who should know better, I wouldn’t say it’s being misinterpreted as a sign of being an asshole.

He can be your angle or yuor devil
