Thanks for understanding. I think I was having a Norman Bates moment there: "we all go a little mad sometimes."

Is it possible for everyone to stop saying this?

My apologies if you happen to be a SLAMS/BLASTS/BREAKS HIS SILENCE bot and are just following your programming. It's just beyond tiresome because we know. We fucking know. It's a lazy and hyperbolic headline filler. But now we have lazy headline writing followed up with a lazy comment pointing out that the former is lazy.

And it's starting to break my mind in the same way "This" did on Reddit.

One more apology for me being bitchy tonight. It's not so much this comment, but every single identical one that came before it.

It seems like everyone is talking about these cascading failures.

I feel like an artificer would be skilled in the application of rouge. As well as foundation and eyeliner.

One doesn't buy a 3D printer to make a knob. One is suddenly presented with a need for a knob (or a thingy, or a flangle, or a twizzlet...) and suddenly remembers, "hey - I have a 3D printer." Followed by "I wonder if there are any matching designs in one of the several massive free databases of models."

20 years ago I worked with a woman with a special water bottle. Everybody knew.

Particle Man by TMBG, of course.

Exactly. The warming arctic means that countries bordering that part of the world are becoming much more available and much more valuable. So... Russia, Canada, Norway, Denmark (via Greenland), and the US (via Alaska) now have lands that need to be exploited or defended. Apparently the US has decided that Alaska isn't enough.

It was a long time ago, but I have a vague memory of my mother making something distressingly close to this. I want to say she used one of those Easter lamb cake molds or something similar. She was a good cook and didn't lack artistic ability - but had no sense of "this looks like an abomination." Or "maybe I should slice this before trying to serve it."

30 Helens agree.

I can't believe it's not mandamus.

Yeah - it seemed pretty normal for a Parker Bros game from the 70s to come with a couple of inserts that advertised their other games. I want to say the same thing about NES cartridges.
