CaptPretentious,

I saw the picture before I read the title, what a roller coaster of emotions that was. I thought he was going to amputate his foot.

CaptPretentious,

I wouldn’t even imagine doing that during the day

Look for the bare necessities

The simple bare necessities

Forget about your worries and your strife

I mean the bare necessities

That’s why a bear can rest at ease

With just the bare necessities of life

CaptPretentious,

I think it’s under the premise of, of you have a functional car. It you got rid of that and bought an electric, you aren’t helping anything.

CaptPretentious,

I would pay to be allowed to scoop some lava into a bucket. It looks so weird and I really want to poke it. How many people get to say they willingly got to handle lava!

This fast food order kiosk accepts cash (mander.xyz)

All the McD*nalds in my area have been upgraded with order kiosks. Regardless of all the controversy around self-checkout, and minimum wage, and automation taking our jobs, I personally love them. I can take my sweet time composing my order, I can see the full selection (such as it is), I can see pictures and prices clearly...

CaptPretentious,

If you’ve regularly had great experience… never ever have McD’s in the USA.

Dehydrated onions are the onions they use (at least in the US) for like cheeseburgers, hamburgers, and Big Macs.

CaptPretentious,

Too much pickles, unfortunately.

Over here, you’d think there’s a damn pickle shortage. You get 2 or 3 of the saddest pickles you ever saw.

CaptPretentious,

It really depends what you’re regularly ordering, how busy it is, what modifications you made, and location.

Like say, you wanted a quarter pounder but you wanted the dehydrated onions instead of slivered. Good chance that gets messed up. Ketchup no mustard (or vice versa), also a good chance it gets messed up (due to muscle memory).

CaptPretentious,

Vaguely has the shape of a pipe that a guy I used to know used to smoke meth out of.

CaptPretentious,

Well, Ubuntu was one. Before that it was Fedora many years ago.

CaptPretentious,

Video games for one. Hated the UI (only thing I’ve ever hated worse was the BS Windows pulled with 8, which I skipped). The GUI experience just felt… Like a very distant after thought. Only reason I use Linux at all is on servers (homelab) because… Well the cost is spot on and once I get it working I don’t have to deal with it anymore.

What are your experiences with polyamory, first or second hand?

I personally am in a phenomenally stable polyamorous relationship. I’ve been married to my wife for 12 years, and she has had the same boyfriend for about half of that time. It’s a really fulfilling arrangement for all of us in various ways. We’re all genuinely happy and satisfied. I’m kind of casually looking for a...

CaptPretentious,

I worked with a married couple many years back. Then they had a kid. So they split their shifts since daycare costs to damn much for 2 Perkins cooks. So they very little of each other. So they went to an open relationship model because “needs”. One of the male managers known for hitting in and fucking all waitresses (because he controlled their schedule…) took the opportunity to start plowing her too. The husband… Thought he had game and thought he could get someone at work. He couldn’t. So that had to be a fun dynamic. The husband and wife’s manager working side by side with both of them and the manager was having a baby with one of his other conquests that also work there. Their marriage quickly fell apart and people’s opinion of her and the manager and the husband took a leap off a cliff. Before all of that they were a very happy couple and great friends to be with. Afterwards they were all insufferable and the child pays for all this.

Knew another couple, married, with for kids. They moved to a open relationship model… Probably for plethora of reasons, Part of me believes that she misses her early twenties party girl that she used to be. Turns out being in mid-30s and having four kids and being married really limits the type of guys that you get. Her former husband moved on with life. And she now has a fifth kid with someone that was a temp boyfriend.

CaptPretentious,

At this point, it’s in the same category as a Rick roll.

Grandma: call 911, I’m literally having a heart attack

Seems like it might be important for words to actually mean things. Is Grandma being dramatic or is she dying…

CaptPretentious,

You really have to! Spider-Man wasn’t born Spider-Man, he became Spider-Man one day. You can’t know what/when will trigger your ability to use the force. So constant testing is required.

Small tangent, that’s the excuse I also use every time I’m drinking something and it goes down the wrong tube “Nope, still not Aquaman”.

Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I...

CaptPretentious,

I purged every post I had made over the years before walking away. Haven’t looked back. Fuck’em.

CaptPretentious,

It’s not going to be long until we have always online DRM TVs. Where the TV will prompt you to reconnect to the internet before continues to function.
