  • I actually just clicked the link in your first comment, and realized you were referring to the best Avatar and not the blue people avatar

    I simply read “avatar font” and my mind immediately went to the “Papyrus” video… it lives rent-free in my head lol






  • Well that’s a left-field response. He’s not just employing friends and family, he’s also employing loyalists who’ve garnered favors from him (because of their loyalty). And it isn’t just a business, it’s a government

    I would employ my family if I could, but I sure as hell wouldn’t choose them over qualified professionals, whether it’s a business or a government. I’m sure as shit not gonna have someone with no financial expertise running my accounting, no matter how much I love them.

    Don’t make everything political and start stirring shit, we have enough of that right now


  • I’ve been written off as “absent-minded” (yet everyone seeks my advice for major life shit)

    I feel this in my bones. My family has always labeled me as “aloof, absent-minded, head in the clouds”… and somehow always seem to forget that I’m the one that shows up or gets called when shit goes sideways

    I’ve tried to accept that it’s just an “endearing” label from them, and they don’t actually believe I’m unreliable… because they still (individually) fall back on me whenever they need someone to come through. I’m an “aloof crisis hotline” I guess





  • I wish someone would type that out into the comments, so I could click the dead link and feel a small sense of satisfaction; simply by knowing it was dead before I even clicked it, confirming my suspicion

    But it’s the internet… so 50/50 whether some hero does it for no reason, or someone throws some kinda rick-roll response. Either way, I ain’t typing it out and I can live with the disappointment… sorry y’all, I’ll try and be better next time






  • For what it’s worth, you’re not alone. I think I’m going with the whole, “I must outlive my enemies” ideology for coping, because fuck it. But it’s always refreshing to hear from like-minded people, when sometimes I feel so helpless to change anything. Ignorance has run rampant, but at least I know there’s friends all over the world


  • American here

    No /s needed. It’s definitely more comfortable that way, as well as more efficient for going from zero to guns akimbo before your blurry-sleepy eyes can even clear up. And by the time you mag dump two of them and can now see cleary… you don’t even have to reload! Just grab the next pair and unload.

    6 is bare minimum, in my opinion. Gotta have at least 8 under an overstuffed pillow, so that you’ll have plenty of cover fire while you go for the armory that’s built into the boxspring

    Do you have a spouse? Cause now you’re rocking 4 at a time, with 12 more at ready… that’s before you even have to make a move for the heavier firepower

    Good luck walking into my house, cause I’ll be damned if the kids ain’t just as prepared… we make sure to teach 'em right and teach 'em young!


  • I can see it now… I’m called first; I don’t know what an adjective is (I still struggle); I panic from the social anxiety of stage fright; I awkwardly try to say anything at all, so I can sit the fuck down and move on; so I say, “Really Richard”

    I’m told that’s an adverb, and I need to use an adjective. Now I’m pale as a ghost and about to faint from the panic. I stutter, “Richmond Richard?”. I’m informed that’s a proper noun, so I quickly try again (visibly sweating) spouting, “Reading Richard!”… and am told to sit down, because that was a noun and I’ve now been assigned extra homework on grammar.

    Someone snickers and says “Retarded Richard” in a low voice. The entire class laughs, the teacher is doing their best not to crack a smile (but I can tell), and I am henceforth known as “Retarded Richard” until graduation and beyond.

    Adverbs, adjectives, verbs… prepositions! I’m in a living nightmare. There is no waking up from this. I am, forever, “Retarded Richard”
