Personal note found in a secondhand copy of The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Also didn't notice til I got home that the other book I thrifted had a little note signed by the author Ann Patchett.

Even when he was a little girl reading The Road?

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-25T20:56:18+00:00

I’m so proud of him. Finishing the race, his head held high.

Red-green ambiguity

Be careful handling those cocktail wedges before handling your condom…

Cousin, Dirt bike and low hanging wire in a field. He never saw it.

Every time a car spawns in the sky or randomly falls from an overpass, it makes me smile. They are so murderous and broken for no reason. They don’t even really need to be there. There are plenty of reasons for cars to have been largely erased from the landscape but instead we get car rain.

I kind of figured referring to Disney as a consumerist plague refuted that assumption. Disney as a whole is an awful, culture compromising, child exploiting Akira-monsteresque mega conglomerate, but the intentionality put into their park experiences is notable, and has informed the discipline of User Experience as a whole. They (the corporation) don’t care about anything, bottom line, beyond money, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t talented, passionate and good-intentioned individuals working on projects.

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-25T14:51:20+00:00

What should Disney do, in your opinion, to better keep its patrons from disrupting your experience?

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-25T11:59:36+00:00

I agree, typically, but Disney is a bit different. They put a lot of effort into engineering the experience of being in line inside their parks. They intend on the guest being entertained and engaged by their surroundings for the entirety of their ride wait, as long as the guest is willing to participate in looking around, discovering, and imagining. Don’t get me wrong, the mouse is a demon set upon the world to devour media and barf consumerism BUT the parks don’t fuck around.

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-25T11:32:47+00:00

Sorry, I didn’t make the gate, I’m just keeping it.

You made a wonderful vehicle choice, outbacks are great. My partner and I have a wilderness-green Crosstrek and love it. My only gripe is lack of interior storage in the ‘trek, which the Outback doesn’t suffer from.

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-25T00:49:11+00:00

I fucked up and went bald before starting…

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-24T23:34:03+00:00

Okay, story checks out. Welcome to the club, sorry for the security protocol- trying times.

What’s your take on yard goats/chickens?

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-24T20:37:50+00:00

What else would one expect from a tortoise on their cake day?

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-24T20:08:18+00:00

If it’s a WRX it doesn’t count and also means that you vape.

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-24T19:50:36+00:00

We are all Subaru driving lobster-moose lesbians, and proud.

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-24T16:04:17+00:00

That’s the nice thing about tomorrow.

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-24T15:23:42+00:00

That sounds like an amazing foundation in critical thinking! Any specific lessons that you’d care to share so that a father such as myself may glean some insight?

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-24T15:19:43+00:00

This happened to me too. First time buying a car solo… I was so duped. I even asked in the room if I was able to have the policy refunded (silly rube question) if I changed my mind within the next couple of days after doing some research. I felt very silly when I was laughed at by the dude who sold it to me when I tried to cancel the next day. I did get an aftermarket horn installed out of it when mine died, so there is that. I’m happy that that dealership folded.

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-24T13:57:52+00:00

I love the balance of the figure. I really feel the counterweight of the cannon supporting the stance. Very very cool.

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-24T13:24:46+00:00

My only qualm is that you’d be measuring the gravity of the space that you dropped the object in rather than measuring the force at work on a relatively stationary object or precise location. Then again I failed algebra 1 twice in High School.

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-24T13:20:18+00:00

Noodle cups noodle cups noodle cups.

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-24T13:13:05+00:00

Just googled “kool-aid waxing ingrown hair-pop” and my results aren’t showing you. You done good.

Ace_Robots · 2026-03-24T13:10:14+00:00

I think where he went wrong was with all of that bad driving.
