A 17 year old kid in a brand new Subaru WRX totalled my car by ramming it from behind at ~90mph. Buying a car like that for a child should be a crime, it’s like giving a kid a loaded gun.

I keep a “baby on board” sticker on my car so people will assume I’m an exhausted parent and be less likely to pull a gun on me in traffic if I do something to annoy them.

A conservationist should be able to remove the ink. I doubt it’s “ruined”.

Edit: looked it up, apparently restoration cost about $5k. Not ruined, but definitely a costly little stunt.

Article where the guard explains a bit

I’ve never broken a bone, but I did get a dislocated elbow once when I was quite young, maybe 2 or 3. I was a dumb stubborn kid who threw a tantrum in the middle of a street and my mom had to grab me by the arm and drag me to safety. I fought her so hard I dislocated my elbow. I’m not sure if a leash would have made that situation more manageable, but I wouldn’t have blamed my parents for trying it. Sometimes kids go through a feral animal phase and you just have to deal with it however you can.

Everyone knows a chicken’s personality is stored in the thighs.

It’s named after a song. I think the main character might briefly say he dreams about going there. Obviously you haven’t seen it, but there’s really no need to get offended.

By the way, I highly recommend watching it for everyone else, especially if you’re a fan of Terry Gilliam. Not you though, guy I’m replying to. You should stick to less challenging topics to avoid hurting your own feelings.

It’s a dystopian movie. It has literally nothing to do with the country.

Are you thinking of the film or the country?

The film has a large overbearing surveillance state / bureaucracy as the chief antagonist, it’s about the suppression of art and loss of human connection. Do you see it differently?

Kids are dumb

Nah, I can see it.

• 1984: they’re rewriting history / propagandizing
• Idiocracy: the morons are in charge
• Hunger Games: they’re pitting us against each other
• Brave New World: they’re distracting us with entertainment

The others seem to fall pretty well into those categories.

I never pretended to be a bride. I didn’t see many weddings as a kid, so probably not a lot of reason to latch onto that. Plus, pretending to be a princess is much better! Fancy dress, but more color options and you also get to boss people around. Also, no lame boys needed.

I’ve heard the beaches in Hawai’i have very nice sand. Maybe you could visit there.

You don’t have to singlehandedly keep the meme alive. Let it rest for a while. I promise, 5 years from now when nobody has said the meme in ages, when you’ve given up on it, there will come a day when it just fits. When it makes the conversation funnier, when the timing is perfect, when it’s the only rational response, you will triumphantly break out the star wars sand meme. It will be so much better because it’s fresh again, it will feel like you just invented the damn thing yourself. You will be so glad you waited, that you let all those other imperfect opportunities pass you by.

Poo’d out by the great parrotfish in the sky

Turkeys are pretty close!

Unfortunately she’s hollow, like a shitty chocolate easter bunny.

Oh, kinda like Mt Rushmore. Nature truly is remarkable.

Just like all the worst real-world school subjects, her magic system isn’t something with a logic you can learn to understand, it’s something arbitrary you have to memorize. These poor kids are out here taking the equivalent of anatomy classes all day (why is that bone called the tibia? Don’t worry about it, just memorize it).

You were too nice to minorities. Hate harder next time so the bigots will like us.
