@“connrrr”#p106122 finding out you‘re a parent is like having a limiter removed, even if you didn’t know about it for ten years
there is no joke that is too stupid for me to make
@“yeso”#p106104 I love this kind of stuff. Our programmer called our publisher Brain (his first name as you can guess is Brian)
"thanks brain" will be funny to me always
accidentally attained a level of japanese comprehension where i reckon that i spotted a mistake on a sub track. they‘d subbed a hastily uttered “sumimasen” as a truncated “irasshaimase”. the sub track said “welcome” but it didn’t make no bloody sense!

@“connrrr”#p106123 I'm more of a cautionary tale
Something goofy I just discovered…
If you get an office chair with a mesh seat cushion to help keep cool in summer, then dust will just fall through the mesh and collect over the years into a solid sheet on top of all the supporting structures. This might seem obvious but with my particular chair it wasn't apparent until my cat found out that she can fit between the mesh and the supports underneath, and then came out gray all over...
was stopped in traffic next to a school. Outdoor gym class on the basketball court. Watched the gym teacher try to impress a bunch of 3rd graders by attempting a half court shot. Total airball but a direct hit on a stroller about 15 feet away from the hoop. Totally annihilated. Fortunately no kid in the stroller, but the mom holding the infant was not happy lmao
@“yeso”#p106652 Every time I see a parent jogging on ice and snow with a stroller down or up a hill I get momentarily concerned for the sanity of my countrymen
sometimes they have like a 100 pound dog with them just held on leash with one hand
@“yeso”#p106652 i want a vial of whatever stress chemicals were surging through the teacher's flesh tubes at the moment of Peak Terror so that i can make my enemies (mostly other gym/PE teachers) feel that soul-scarring sense of dread

My name is Rob, and The Powers That Be managed to spell my name incorrectly on an industry award. I was then “Reb” to colleagues for the next few years.
@“rejj”#p106751 you mean you aren't a Rejjie??
@“connrrr”#p106761 “rejj” are my initials

working at the hospital tonight, had to drop off a document to an empty office in an administration wing so they have it first thing monday. These particular offices are in the old pediatrics floor which was repurposed for administration. Totally deserted, no one there but me. My point is this is probably the ultimate liminal space and it wasn‘t scary at all. Literally nothing happened while I walked through a deserted children’s hospital. Don't see what the big fuss is about
My laptop's trackpad is not great both in terms of responsiveness (somehow over- and undersensitive) and placement, which is to say when I rest my left hand on the home row for typing or on wasd for video games I often accidentally input a left click by tapping on the pad with my lower palm/thumb. I could turn the pad off, make it less sensitive, or disable tap-to-click, but it does come in handy when I want to pinch/expand to zoom in on a web page (to better read posts here, for instance), so I often leave it on, and it is unbearable to use when any less sensitive than it is when configured this way.
All that is to say, playing shooters I will often fire without meaning to. Particularly funny playing Black Mesa just now, imagining Gordon Freeman struggling with hair triggers in the HEV suit. "Yes, right away fellow scientest, I will go find the Lambda TeamOOPS! Nope didn't mean to shotgun blast the door"
My eldest brother inherited about 80% of his mannerisms from Ricky in the Trailer Park Boys, and the other 20% from Brad Pitt in Fight Club. Every time I see either of those characters I‘m just like, "hey, that’s my brother."
I've had this bootleg Charmander keychain since the late nineties. I picked him up from a little village hobby shop in my hometown that no longer exists.
His flame is out but so long as he's smiling he lives, don't tell me otherwise.

@“connrrr”#p107788 I‘m not gonna lie, that episode of Pokemon made me cry as a kid. Same with the butterfree episode. Pokemon wasn’t afraid to challenge kids or introduce them to uncomfortable topics. what happened?
I cry a lot at media... I saw Anomalisa at a packed festival showing and started crying basically from the time you meet Lisa and by the very end I had tears streaming down my face, and I was sitting next to this older couple with thick new yawk accents going "I don't get it, why were they puppets?" and I cackled so loudly that everyone leaving the theater looked over at me being a total mess, so I sunk into my seat and hid until everyone left the theater and then I snuck out through the emergency exit lol.
@“Tradegood”#p107796 yeah dude, pokemon season 1 was emotional as heck. the musical theme that plays for caterpie and butterfree, and when the spearows are gonna kill ash and pikachu in the storm, all that stuff makes me cry so fast. early childhood memories. iconic scenes of 90‘s baby anime before we knew what anime was. I still haven’t watched the recent finale where ash completes the league finally, because I don't know where to find it.
