I don’t think I’ve thought about this episode in like 30 years. Yet I can hear the line like it was yesterday.
A lot of my favorites are already on Nebula. I’d ask the rest to follow but that would require a google account.
Irish people were among the most oppressed white minorities back in the day.
Most of the Irish Americans I know are just keen on dishing it back out to whatever Other they can target. I’m also related to most of the Irish Americans I know, so take that as you will.
The Guardian and Ancient shields would auto-reflect beams, but still consume shield durability. Any shield could be used with the parry and not consume durability. (This goes for most if not all monster attacks.)

Even the undercarriage looks like it hasn’t fully loaded into the environment.
You don’t need to pull a gun, jeebus.
I always heard that name as “Al McHogan.”
Either way, fuck supper.
except for the AC compressor, which the generator actually would have had enough power to run, but not to kick-start.
This sentence triggered my PTSD. Imagine, if you will, a world where executives insist that datacenter AC be put on UPS battery. A world where those same executives declare that a different datacenter is just fine running at 95% power capacity because “it’s not 100%.” A world where inrush current does not exist. Except it does exist, but all professional advice is ignored until there are consequences. And even after such consequences are realized, one of those same executives still tries to run his home sump pump off of a desktop UPS during a power outage, pops it immediately, then goes and gets another from the office, which also pops immediately.
The sign in OP’s post will always be relevant somewhere.
Yeah, that tracks.

The ship that dad is holding is sending up slop flares.
Edit: 🤦♂️ I know it’s the original art. But the ship is huge, looks like it holds about 9 pegs, and the one on the left is lined up directly over a finger. 🤷♂️
if you’re in academia you should be able to produce a five paragraph essay.
So, K-12 is “academia” now?
Being able to produce a narrative is an essential life skill.
Lots of essential life skills are difficult for lots of people. Something we get reminded about every time it comes up by people who have no clue what they’re talking about yet see fit to tell others what they should and shouldn’t do, and how to feel about it.
The world isn’t going to cater to you
No fucking shit.
your self diagnosed executive dysfunction
I’m sorry Dr. Jackson, I’ll have to let my old neurologist, psychologist, neuropsychologist, and psychiatrist know that The Internet told me that the assessments I had done at ages 23 and 44 are all in my head.
learning to adapt is probably a useful habit.
You’re right! I’m just going to do that instead of being in constant psychological agony. Where were you all of my life? ❤️ If only I had someone talking down to me saying Just Do The Thing over and over again, from childhood onwards, life would have been so much easier.

…so you just gonna leave everyone in suspense? The internet loves armchair psychology!
Hi,
I would have failed every single one of your tests. Not because I don’t understand the material, or the English language, but because structured writing, to this day, makes me seize up. Blank space is one of my biggest triggers for executive dysfunction/PDA. Turning everything into a cookie-cutter essay is just a different form of trying to fit everyone into the same box. More selective than making everything multiple guess, but no better. I feel bad for your students.

Road trip! To Altoona!
Thanks. Just imagine if someone had dropped their phone on the train.
