I forget which of Bordain’s books I read, but it didn’t surprise me very much having read one. He seemed like a person trying to run away from it at all times.

Very sad, loved the show(s) and book. I should go read more.

Hey, me too! With the door removed!

It was put back on when one of my mothers friends commented how creepy it was anyone could see into the teenaged girls bedroom cause my room was on the main hallway through the house

This was my fault she was creeped out, naturally, but the door was back at least.

If ours wasn’t a mess of wires, I’d showoff the huge blocky model we still have!

We use it for holding a slightly more modern TV!

I had been having this issue as well. Also the app was taking around 40 seconds to load and crashed after about 2 minutes.

This change so far seems to be making all three of these things better!

Edit - Still crashing but my phone at this point is very old and bad even when new so that’s fine.

I don’t know the coding bits at all, but I really like the TL;DR! Is it a reference to the Jean Shepherd book?

I liked the Blockbuster growing up. It was such a weird location though, this tiny triangle lot. Mother hated getting out of the lot so we didn’t go often.

We had an independent movie store here until about a decade ago which surprised people even back then. It was also nice.

My father had us driving when we were little by putting us on his lap and ‘driving’ with the wheel while he controlled the speed (we did this in empty parking lots). It was comforting.

Mother was the type to grab the ceiling handles or try and smash the breaks on the passenger side.

Human body is a nightmare and needs a redesign.

Looks good! Childcare is just so expensive and anything to help is well, helpful!

I didn’t see the legs as weird at first, was confused, then went and read again and I’m scared. I’m scared of this giraffe deeply!

“This is our English springer spaniel. He has papers!” Compared to almost all the cats that were “He showed up and screamed at me until I said guess we got another cat”

(Some of my grandmother’s cats had papers but all my cats are mutts)

A now abandoned building at the end of the block use to be a repair store. Tv, vacuum, any other machines. I’m sad I never got to see it.

We could start our own polandball here! With blackjack! And hookers!

I made a polandball, submitted to the mod, and was told the joke was overused so rejected.

It was in the vein all the other jokes currently were, hence why I went with it.

We were doing what now? Hm. I need to pay more attention.

Cats just appear though so I think cats will keep appearing and demanding humans.

If all I had to do to pay that loan was occasionally shake some apple trees and sell them to the raccoons nephews and also get paid ticket money for doing chores, sign me the fuck up

This is news to me and now I have to go read about it because I also use to watch him???

I was taught in school, but that was…several many oodles of decades ago. Fucked if I know if they teach it now lol. I was taught the clock, it’s just for some reason my brain really does the calculations slowly.

Had this issue back in the 90s before kids had cell phones though, at least at my school. We got a brand new elementary school at the time and the only clocks they had were digital and a lot of teachers brought in analog ones only to find out a lot of students couldn’t read them because they had no analog at home anymore either. I can read them but it always takes my brain a few seconds to fully engage it.

It’s responsible for my hypothyroidism??? How dare it!
