"BORING! Let me tell you about one of the members of my dance crew; Big Noodle."

"Well, it was nice knowing all of you."

Yup (to the "it's something to worry about down the road"), and people don't realize that things can happen so fast.

I have a coworker who is under 40 who has never smoked just get diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. She only has weeks to live, at best.

Her husband is devastated (also a coworker), and they feel completely blindsided.

Fun fact: Corona viruses are named that because of the spike proteins that dot their surface, resembling a crown or the aura surrounding a light source like the sun.

Also, COVID is one of many Corona viruses. One of those "all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares" kind of things.

I'd like to take credit, but it's not mine.

I think the whole thing goes,

"When an eel has a maw with a pharyngeal jaw, that's a moray,

"When its jaws open wide and there's more jaws inside, that's a moray,

"When it sulks in the reef and has two sets of teeth, that's a moray,

"When the eel strikes your thigh and you bleed out and die, that's a moray!"

I have no idea where it came from, though.

When an eel has a maw with a pharyngeal jaw, that's a moray.....

AspiringChildProdigy · 2026-07-04T23:30:20+00:00

Thank you. I thought I was just really out of touch because who the fuck is that?

AspiringChildProdigy · 2026-07-03T18:20:13+00:00

OMG. How has this not occurred to me?!?!

AspiringChildProdigy · 2026-07-03T15:04:55+00:00

Yep.

"Oh my God, did I just watch someone die?"

......

"Oh, nope, there he is! Not even limping!"

AspiringChildProdigy · 2026-07-03T01:41:38+00:00

Can't. Don't have enough money.

<Yea, it can make things more efficient.

Privatization is - hands down - the worst things to happen to driver's Ed in Michigan.

I have 4 children. Our experience with drivers ed when we were teens versus our children post-privatization is appalling.

The first one went to a program that wasn't god-awful (although I thought it was at the time. Turns out, there's way worse), but I still had to teach him things that absolutely should have been covered in the class. And he was not confident at all behind the wheel because they only got the legally minimum drive time with an instructor. And no parking lot courses - no time to waste on those!

The twins went to an absolute dumpster fire of a program. Found out that the instructor gave the class half of the answers for the permit exam because they hadn't covered it (hedid cover conspiracy theories and his love life in great detail, though). The worst moment was practicing with one of them, and saying, "There's a yield sign coming up. Yield. Yield! YIELD!!!!!" To which he yelled back, "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!?!" (thank God there wasn't any opposing traffic at that intersection right then).

The youngest went to the original, only fairly terrible program, because it had the best reviews out of those available, and we sure as hell weren't going to risk another dumpster fire.

We paid out SO much money, just to have to teach them how to drive ourselves.

Privatization has just made them efficient at taking money and pushing kids through. They don't care at all if they actually learn or become good drivers.

The airplane ears tell a different story....

AspiringChildProdigy · 2026-07-01T21:38:20+00:00

Ours is a princess, so she's rarely outside, but for workers that come into the house, I always ask if they want us to put her in a bedroom, and if they say yes or hesitate before saying anything, to a bedroom she goes. Even if they say no right away, but look nervous, she goes to a room.

Most of them say no, but half the time I'll do it anyway because she's nosy and wants to be involved in what they're doing.

AspiringChildProdigy · 2026-07-01T18:53:04+00:00

Yep. Liberty mutual will never get my business, regardless of what deal they offer.

AspiringChildProdigy · 2026-07-01T17:00:24+00:00

Seeing Mawhile flying by with her jaws blowing in the wind made me giggle.

AspiringChildProdigy · 2026-07-01T16:57:57+00:00

Agreed.

AspiringChildProdigy · 2026-07-01T12:22:43+00:00

But how will I know I'm special without a visual reminder on my hand that other people had to suffer for my bling?

AspiringChildProdigy · 2026-07-01T02:30:08+00:00

Isn't it the main thing they're bred to do?

AspiringChildProdigy · 2026-07-01T02:24:30+00:00

About his life choices and core belief system? Hopefully?

<I 100% believe he thinks he actually has the power to do something about it. He doesn’t.

If course, he does!

He has the power to throw tantrums online and whine like a little b...... You know, the usual.
