Then why are they still paying me for it?

I wanted to be a writer or maybe an artist. I figured I had to do something creative and big, because I could never picture myself doing a normal 9-5 with a wife and kids or whatever. I was smart, but I was a bad student and couldn’t force myself to put in the work.

Turns out it was just undiagnosed ADHD. Now I work as a systems analyst (Excel guy) with a wife and two kids. Later today or tomorrow it’ll be three kids.

I’m lucky. My job is interesting sometimes, but mostly it’s easy and I get to spend the important parts of my day being a dad, which it turns out I love.

Sometimes I draw for fun as a creative outlet. I’ve made a few webcomics. I’m working on a longer comic for my daughter featuring a character she made up called “Princess Super Speed Girl”.

Exactly. I also try only to do verbs, although occasionally I verb nouns.

Regardless, the counter you check out at is the checkout counter, while the counter you check in at is the check-in counter. So OP does still have a point.

Anecdotal, but my daughter read her first word at 3 years, 8 months. My son just started reading last week at 3 years, 7 months, and much more actively than my daughter.

She was so advanced that we never expected him to keep up, especially since he doesn’t get as much one on one time as she did. But now he’s even more advanced than she was. I was thinking today that him having her around probably helps.

More popular than bratwurst? I guess maybe that could be true somewhere, but I’ve never heard of that VW sausage before, and I’ve had bratwurst many, many times outside of Germany.

I don’t like fennel.

Mine is simpler: Bucky Buucky… Bucky, BUUUuucky

But it’s with an old-timey warble. Never fails to summon him.

After years of getting him to come to us by singing the Bucky song, I realized that if he comes to us because he likes the song, then he might want us to keep singing it. So I tried that, and he purred louder.

We had another cat, Sasha. Her song was like SASHASASHAsashaSASHASASHAsAsHASASHASASHASASHASASHASASHA. It suited her. Our new cat, Agatha, doesn’t have a song yet. I guess we should come up with one.

Nah, Germany has the best sausage.

I understand that feeling, because there’s clearly two distinct halves of the movie, but to me the point is that these are one movie. The beginning is so optimistic, but ultimately they’re doomed. And if there were no vampires, they’d still be doomed. That’s just the nature of their situation, and I think there’s a powerful message in that.

Remember, it takes at least 45 minutes to caramelize an onion. Anything less and you’re just cooking it.

I’m usually too lazy when it comes to canceling things, but I canceled Game Pass right away. $30 per month is just offensive.

It’s the Jabberwocky of post titles. I still have no idea what’s happening.

Depends. What’s her sexual orientation?

When my wife and I were dating, she told me about a road trip game.

When you see a car, you put the word “anal” in front of it. That’s it. That’s the whole game.

Anal Expedition: sounds fun!

Anal Odyssey: sounds harrowing!

Anal Golf: I wonder how that’s played?

I’ve heard of solar and lunar, but what’s an Anal Eclipse?

Anal Sonata: I can hear it in my head right now.

That’s not even scratching the surface. The possibilities are endless.

Tried that. During the last step it switches back to mobile mode and gives a 404 error.

Sorry, I meant mobile browser. I don’t use a PC.

I tried switching to desktop mode on my phone and it switched back to mobile during the last step and gave me a 404 error. I don’t use a PC.

So oh well.

Figured I’d sign up to preserve my username just in case, but it doesn’t work without an app. Oh well.

These sites are supposed to be gateways to the internet. Why the fuck would you put that in any app other than a browser?

Some were, some weren’t. I was thrilled.

And then the hate grew to the point where it was a meme, where everyone “knew” that Anthem was bad, even people who hadn’t played it. Then it was over.
