  • Men, proudly drag that battered and cracked android phone out on the first date, it’s a litmus test for shallow people, apparently.

    I went on a first date with a girl I met from work. She farted loud enough to be heard over drunken yelling and music in the steakhouse we were in, immediately after saying “I don’t get embarassed”.

    In a couple of weeks, we will have been together for 16 years. We’ve been married for 14 years. We cook together every evening, we hold each other whenever we are in the same room for more than five minutes, and on the rare nights where we aren’t taking each other’s clothes off, we fall asleep wrapped around each other. I would have missed out on a perfect relationship if I had judged her for a phone.



  • Honest question from someone who wants to see Ukraine not be overrun by orcs: Why is the US always the one who has to fund wars? There are some countries in the EU that have given a bit of suport, but the guys who are across the ocean seem to be the ones everyone looks to for money. Aren’t you clever enlightened boys and girls from the European Union able to take care of this?

    Every single time there is some conflict the idiots in charge here have to get big hard-ons and start getting involved. And we are told to stay out of it. But now Ukraine needs money and for some reason everyone focuses on the US providing it. Same with Israel, why are we the ones who have to prop them up?

    I’d really like to know. Everyone hates the US until they want money or weapons. We aren’t the ones next door to russia, the EU is. And we aren’t anywhere near the middle east, so why are we wasting so much money on israel?







  • Im so glad I grew up with computer savvy parents.

    I had a 3rd grade teacher who had an absolute meltdown because I was handing in homework that was “done on a computer”. This was a long time ago, the space-age super-intelligent computer that was apparently doing all my homework for me was a 12MHz 286 with 1024 kb of memory and a 40 mb hard drive.

    Matters escalated to the point where there was a meeting with the principal, then the teacher and the principal, and finally my parents and the principal, where this dumb old woman had to explain why she wouldn’t accept the homework I was actually doing. She eneded up being told “More kids will be doing this every single year, he’s just the first, you need to get over it.”





  • I used to work in a metal fab shop years ago. There were a couple of the guys on my shift who would drive to the bar down the road for lunch, drink as much hard liquor as they could in 25 minutes, and then come back to work. The ones who didn’t go to the bar instead stepped out back and smoked a joint.

    It did leave the break room nice and quiet for me during lunch.
