I know it wouldn’t slap the same on Lemmy, but that is a user account I miss deeply.

Wow!!! This is fascinating-- I was raised with
Great big gobs of Greasy, Grimy, Gopher Guts Propagated Porcus Puts Sterilized Monkey Eyes, And me without a spoon! scoop Too Bad!
I think my mom was crazy on second thought
This sentence is incredible.
When I was 10/11 we went to Florida to visit family/go to the Disney world or land, water parks, etc… as Alaskans this was a big hot awesome vacation trip and we flew for a day and a half to get there.
Two cousins were there and they were the same age as my brother, around 13/14. It was swiftly decided that I wasn’t allowed to play with them or go anywhere with them. If we went swimming, all 3 would dunk me. One time we went to watch a rocket launch, and they were being so mean to me it made my mom start silently crying.
So, obviously, I went to Disney with everyone and experienced the entire park just me and my grandma, who needed to rest often.
It is worth mentioning that my father had died a year or so earlier.
Yeah, that vacation was really upsetting, I am 37 and still get depressed about it sometimes
Maybe it’s “you are welcome (to ask me for help/favors, as I am neutral to the task. I might even enjoy it.)”
And “it’s not a problem (for me to do what you asked me to do; we have now both acknowledged that I have done something to help you that was not organic to me, but now we can move past it with no further conversation.)”
I bet “no problem” to some people is like seeing someone wear a T-shirt to church. They’d really prefer it if you would put on a suit and tie, even though the purpose of both are the same (cover my body when away from home because that is our current social agreement), because a T-shirt is disrespectful.
Also everyone sucks, it is a problem, and you are not welcome.
My coworker and I had to rock-paper-scissors who hurt the most to go home early
They come in pints?? I’m getting one, you piece of shit.
This happened to me once, on a flight from JFK to Columbus OH. I was pissed because I had traveled the last 22 hours to get out of southern France back to the states, and then got kicked from my final little flight home. They gave me $200 to their airline (Delta) that had an expiration date, and a room at DoubleTree to take me back to the airport next day.
I couldn’t afford another trip after that so they canceled my $200 coupon after a year. So, yeah, you get compensated, I guess
I’m glad you have a lovely family, I’m glad all of you have lovely families… sorry that you are bald and fat, but hey that’s alright. I don’t think I’ll say hi next time, so please don’t either.
-me being bullied by my dad’s friend’s kids. For a decade. They once broke my arm and hid me so I couldn’t tell their parents.
I fucking hate them so much.
Abstain from alcohol
I was kidnapped in the night and taken to one of these in 2002. My mom finally figured out how awful it was after 14 months and came to get me. The school convinces the parents to not believe any bad things their kids might sneak through on one of their once-a-week call privileges, and they also make older students sit in the phone room and listen to the phone calls in case they need to cut you off.
If you’re being punished for anything (which is basically solitary confinement in public- you are limited to a booth 16 hours a day and nobody can talk to you unless they’re assigned to bring you homework from the school you’re forcefully missing) you also lose your rights to talk to your parents.
Further, there are a series of brainwashing events called propheets (some overnight or multi days long) that convince a LOT of students that they very very very much deserved to be taken away and that they must essentially repent and accept the program to “heal”. It was really upsetting to see kids who ordinarily struggled socially to 100% immediately fall im line and then become hall-monitor manipulative snitches.
I’m trying not to really get going about it bc I think the comic covers a lot of it, but only some of the kids come from rich families (and they’re ordinarily just spoiled, nothing more). Most of us learned that our parents mortgaged their houses or took out other high high interest loans. So, that got thrown in your face too “you’re such a piece of shit person that your own parents had to almost lose your house!”
And yeah they’d get in your face and scream as loud as adult men could scream until you’d break the fuck down and weep and scream as well.
I wish more parents would have been vocal when their kids told them the truth. They could’ve spared more families the trauma.
My school was in Idaho, where parents could petition for custody until their kids turned 19, so there were fucking ADULTS there that couldn’t leave without being tracked down and physically (violently) brought back and then put immediately “on a booth”.
Two of my friends I made there killed themselves not long after release.
Oooooooh this one is fun, as I just solved the riddle today! I kept getting Korn’s Falling Away From Me stuck in my head, which would morph into other Korn songs, etc. I couldn’t figure out why the fuck it was in my head so much. Today in the shower I had Nookie in my head which is a song I only recently remembered existed in the first place. For whatever reason, nookie morphed into In the End. And then. THEN it turned into Falling Away From Me because of the similarities of the piano ending of In the End reminding me of the guitar intro to Falling Away.
I have been going through this for days. It drives me nuts. Why on earth would Nookie be in my head? I’m 37, and I did my time with Limp Bizkit and Korn… cut to today when my phone alarm went off before work.
I have an alarm set to play The Head That Controls Both Right and Left Sides Eats Meats and Slobbers Even Today, because the beginning is a Japanese woman absolutely shredding vocally. It is a good wakeup.
So. Today, and all last week, I’ve had a rapid earworm race from The Head–>Nookie–>End–>Falling Away. All the way to work in the morning.
After that it’s just whatever is playing around me.
Might change my alarm.
I don’t wanna talk to you no more!
You can’t have emojis just say what you feel!
For fun, I recommend challenging your partner to a “most talented loser” set of games. Set up rules (like, you can’t just immediately tank and end the game) and play like you make the worst decision each opportunity. If you have choices between smart moves and really dumb moves, choose the dumb ones. That way, one of you ends up accidentally winning.
As a kid, my brother had really awful sportsmanship but whenever we played to lose, it was far more fun and silly
I share a name with a cultural icon from the 90’s. As time goes by, younger people don’t notice. It was annoying having to say “yeah, I know, I was born before she was famous…” all the time. Older people still make the same tired jokes, over, and over, and over…
I was having some problems with Google podcasts (which I used for years) and switched to Pocket Casts. It’s been great other than some kind of clunky bits when trying to add to/edit your play-next queue, but otherwise I think it’s a pretty great transition from Google
