A bidet.

But seriously - you and others already mentioned the quesadillas, so I’ll add pintos and cheese as a side.

It’s just beans and cheese and their sauce in a little bowl but it’s good.

Also, do they still have meximelts? Can’t remember if they did away with them or not. Oh and gorditas.

I love this kind of thing and appreciate the humor. I don’t think it’s something that would come to me easily if I were to create one on my own, however.

But thank you for the illustration, it is helpful and made me smile :)

Thanks for asking this, OP. I’ve been wondering this same thing for awhile with no real results when I search.

Someone took their Nintendo games a little too seriously.

He does look smug af. He knows what he did and that it was goddamn amazing and he is just waiting to be bathed in a flood of his favorite treats.

I love that Siri is kinda stupid for just this very reason.

Lucky you then that Amazon now has their own pharmacy!

The other things were like a large purse/tote bag and a rug, so yeah it was kinda random (so it seems) but apparently the evidence is pretty solid in that case.

Doesn’t make it any less weird though.

Undiagnosed ADHD until I was almost 30.

This is fucking bullshit.

I review science proposals for the government that come from private companies responding to an announcement about grants for specific kinds of technology.

I have to submit a financial form every year disclosing stock that I own to make sure there are no conflicts of interest.

The fact that is guy is allowed to shrug and say “nah” and just keep going blows my mind.

No, but I come with 2 cats.

Holy shit will you adopt me? That sounds amazing!

I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but airports. And their bars. I have had so many interesting conversations with random strangers at airport bars.

And I mean genuine, honest, conversations. I had a layover in Vegas the day after a guy killed like 60 people at that concert. I had been in the Vegas airport many times before and it’s always so loud with the slot machines and people are excited and happy…there’s a lot going on.

That day, it was absolutely silent except for people crying and quietly chatting. It hit like a ton of bricks…the contrast. But everyone wanted to talk about it and tell their story - what they saw, how they escaped, etc. And granted, this isn’t a typical story and it’s tragic as fuck, but everyone has a story and I find that fascinating.

FWIW, I’m seeing a lot of Twilight reflection going on right now that’s not unlike the Star Wars prequel reflection from a few years ago. It’s definitely being revisited.

Monkey Money or Monkey Mart? Something like that?

There are 9-10 billion people on this planet.

Among those people, you have countless personal preference based on everything from what they expect to what makes them comfortable based on past experience.

There are also 10% or so with ADHD and other things, changing it up even more.

So run all of that through a computer showing you a majority of the likely outcomes, and there you go. There’s no way that your style, your choice of content, your presentation, how you present the material, etc, will please everyone because it’s impossible to do.

I fucking hate that so much.

“People think a thing is cool, so the person who owns the thing is cool and should get a monetary value based on a lot of people’s opinions”

And everyone is lIke “Yes this system is great! Let’s do this with more people”.

And then one day nobody thought the thing was cool anymore for…reasons (Tesla) and so that person loses money relatively proportional to how many cool points they lose in the minds of a bunch of other people.

But that’s a travesty and this person’s coolness now affects a lot of other people’s coolness to the point that it could severely fuck up the economy if enough people stopped thinking they were cool. So we have to keep telling this person we still think they’re cool so that shit doesn’t get really bad until we have a better plan in place to deal with it.

And then we’re like fuck…that was stupid…we shouldn’t do that again. And everyone agrees.

Meanwhile we’re still doing it with countless other people and things and we’ll act just as shocked pikachu face the next 30 times it happens.

It’s so fucked up and dumb.

This is an excellent article. I’m glad they took time to go into the history of these folks.

Random anecdote - years ago there was a hurricane heading in our general direction but not a direct hit. There was also a big UFC event that my partner wanted to watch. A friend invited him to a local sports bar to watch it, but I asked him to please stay home because the weather was still shit.

So he did and I found it on the high seas, problem solved.

The friend went to the sports bar and got stranded when the parking lot flooded pretty badly and his car was ruined.

I’m sorry, OP. I come from a family like this and the best decision I made was to go away for University and make friends whose views and values aligned better with mine.

Same thing when I found a job. I “made” my own (non-biological) family, if that makes sense. I see my blood relatives at holidays and other events, say the required hellos and goodbyes, and leave when I’m ready.

I don’t have time for that shit. And I know it’s hard to see people you love behave this way, but you obviously turned out differently and that means that you can do better…and maybe even inspire some of the younger folks in your family in the process.
