    Fuck, I can't find it anymore but I used to have an image where the first panel was the jeopardy question screen "Their progress is often impeded by "Endless Blockades"."

    Ken Jennings: who is The Pussyfooter?




  • In third grade my dad, who works for the post office was on strike around Christmas and i wrote a short story about the elves striking for school. My teacher fucking loved it. She was my favorite teacher, she really liked my writing and cause she'd read Roald Dahl's The Witches each year she implied that she was a with herself as well going as far as to never wear open toed or pointy shoes. She'd throw a legit 3 extra large pizzas pizza party, retrospectively out of her own pocket whenever the class read 50 books combined. There was a chart in the classroom where you'd mark your name and the book your finished and every time it got to fifty it was pizza day. I personally read something like 70 books within thst school year cause holy fuck did I read a lot and for that she hauled in the TV on wheels, ordered some pizzas and me and a couple friends got to play n64 and eat pizza for lunch break, which was an hour long. Absolutely amazing teacher.


  • I'm already really good at being an elf.

    Also that movie has a really fucking weird plot that we just kind of accept. An outcast deer with a light bulb nose and an elf who wants to practice dentistry just kinda wander off because Santa and his management are absolute pricks with no redeeming qualities. The elfs sing a song they wrote in Santa's praise and he's PISSED that he has to sit through it. They then encounter a gold prospector and in order to evade the yeti they end up on an island of shitty toys governed by a lion. They then go back where they came from, shitty toys in tow and tame the yeti using dentistry. Santa then realizes he can take advantage of a light bulb nose cause he has no headlights despite there clearly being electricity. It's like an Aqua Teen plot








  • An earnest statement can be flattering, it doesn't mean the statement itself is flattery. If you flatter without flatterizing it's just a nice compliment to put it in a confusing but funny way. To be flattered by a statement isn't a comment on the statement but on the reaction to it, whereas to call a statement flattery is to point out it's an attempt to achieve the same result ans is a comment on the statement. Flattery can also be true, it's more the intent behind it that defines it. If it's a means to an end it'd flattery and otherwise it's just saying something nice, the subject being flattered still has the same result. I am so sorry for going into a grammar spiral but the word flatter started to gaining abstract meaning as I went. It also means more flat


  • I'm pretty sure I'd fit in super well in Germany or Sweden or one of those European countries where you get to be a cold asshole to people and it's fine but it'd be like when squidward goes to the canned bread gated community. Also I've vowed to never speak to swedes if they haven't been in a dbeat band and Germans have also really gotta get their shit together on not supporting every genocide they can. I just wanna be efficient for a while




  • Ohhhhhh. If that's the situation, that sucks. America is truly the Great Satan. Had a co-worker a ways back that moved here from Chigaco and his mind was absolutely blown by the fact that there is a pretty strict labor code that is legally enforceable and there is a government labor board there to work your case and your case.worker will be a Comrade cause that's who applies for the job, these rights are being gradually stripped away but people are real fucking used to them, kinda like free Healthcare, a lot of stuff that's normal for America labor wise I'd just politically unthinkable at least so far where I am. I also live in a generally demsoc town, we have a third party in that sense thought they have never won nationally, they do decent locally and sometimes provincially. We've got a conservative provincial government but the capital is generally really socdem, it's just a pretty isolated city.

    Dude is literally the mid 2000s Dos Equis commercial most interesting man. He road a horse across Mongolia. He moved to Japan, became a Buddhist monk and when literally meditating under a waterfall decided this was no way to live and quit. He's not even Buddhist now. Also he is a soup GOD. I have his recipes, but I can't quite do em like he did. He did a potato paprika and chickpea soup once that literally cured me when I was sick. It was like Link's grandma's soup from wind waker, fully restored my hearts and doubled my damage. We also would look up teen magazine celebrity facts about philosophers and it turned out Sartre loved these god awful euro only almond candies and we dunked on sartre for being a nerd and his shitty taste in treats, Camus would just drink sea water.


  • Glad you're handling things okay. But at least where I live, whichnisnt America and there's no right to work bs where you can get fired for no reason, if you're ever fired ya make a claim with the labor board, usually the workplace doesn't wanna deal with it and changes the firing to a layoff and you get ei. I don't know where you are, but it's worth looking into, you could be leaving money on the table otherwise. None of these institutions work between today and next year anyway tho, so feel free to unwind as best you can until then. Really the worst case scenario is they give you your job back.
