Sounds like you were summoned by ouija board.

For all we know you could be a victim in an abusive family. I’m sorry to see that people are blaming you without further asking about your circumstances.

FWIW I think it’s a bad older-generation thing, to express your affection by criticizing someone and insulting them. I had one older relative tell me that if you wanted someone to know that you loved them, you had to be a little mean to them. There was even a saying “spare the rod and spoil the child” to justify physical punishment.

To be sure, sometimes you need to be direct and critical and rigid, but it should not develop into abuse. If you feel you are in an abusive relationship, please reach out for help.

Yeah… reminds me of a very valuable lesson I learned during my college years.

Guatemala is awesome. The countryside is beautiful and the people are descended from one of humanity’s major civilizations, the Mayans.

I realize OP is only half-serious, but they still come off as really ignorant.

Yeah, I didn’t realize that when I first heard it. I guess that’s why it’s a punishment. If they just hung a tiny parakeet off his neck, it wouldn’t be much of a punishment.

If it’s not in a song by Sabaton or Iron Maiden, it ain’t real history.

Yeah, I didn’t really like the genre for a long time either, until I was in a place where I kinda needed it.

Most people hate school. Even the “smart kids”, what they really like is learning or knowledge, not school.

I see it as an example of cozy slice-of-life. Kind of like Azumanga Daioh but in a deli with a bear and a plant.

much more fun than a plain flawless mirror.

yeah agreed! Back in the day I used to generate text for fun with n-grams and I never went higher than bigrams bc it was boring without those unexpected disfluencies. I thought of it being like an electric guitar, you want it to sound a little raw.

Homer listening to “Home” while watching “Home Alone” with the homies and a homing pigeon.

That’s what I was gonna say. It doesn’t even have to be a religious thing. To a lot of people church/mosque/temple is a cultural thing.

“How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked.

“Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”

History’s like that too. People took their best guesses, but nobody knew for sure.

Oh, it’s a Japanese cartoon. They use metric hours instead of Imperial hours. So you’ll just have to keep waiting.

Either that, or driving cars to the junkyard to be crushed.

I don’t use eggs like that, but my housemate does. Looks like they take em from the carton one row at a time, the carton currently looks like:
1 1 1 1 1 1
0 0 0 0 0 0

The engineers design the gravel to turn into a powerful sedative/hypnotic but only if you run a truck into it at high speed.

That’s only if you haven’t blessed the rains down in Africa.

Since there’s no “Lord StarTron” in Star Trek, I’m guessing this is just a 0 mask. Why put it there?

• Your average normie’s gonna look at that and say: “Star Trek BS, I don’t wanna think that much,” and forget all about it.
• Your average Trekkie’s gonna mention it to every other Trekkie they know, and thus expand the reach of the flyer. Everyone has at least one Trekkie friend.
• The intended recipient’s gonna look up “Lord StarTron”, see nothing, and then out of desperation just add the birthday to the mask and try that number (which is the right answer)
