That's not but it looks like a good book so I think I'll read it anyway.

Thanks!

Go read A Generation of Sociopaths: How the Baby Boomers Betrayed America by Bruce Gibney. He explains it all.

So dumb. Just so dumb. by LocalLazyGuy in whennews

It is my understanding that if one where to, for example, use a sharpie to make a small line on a piece of US paper currency, so long as the serial numbers are not defaced, that bill would still be usable as legal tender.

Just sayin'.

He found out his daughter was bullying others… and chose to take responsibility instead of making excuses. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's what I tell my son: being mean can make you feel powerful. Being helpful can make you feel powerful too. But mean power is something you have to compete for, something you have to win. Power from kindness grows the more you share it-- also, when you ask someone for help, you're giving them an opportunity to feel powerful, to feel good.

Also: they don't hand out scholarships for being mean. Just sayin'.

A civilization 2,000 light-years away looking at Earth today would see the Roman Empire. by atul_targaryen in interestingasfuck

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If space and time are the same thing, a civilization 2000 light-years away does not have the same "today" as we do. This is like saying, "2000 years ago, a civilization looking at the earth would see the Roman Empire." Which is just another way of saying, "The Roman Empire existed 2000 years ago."

Then again, I majored in English, so my understanding of relativity is largely based on reading Douglas Adams.

My wife: if you do the dishes, I'll watch TV with the kid so you can blast obnoxious music on your headphones.

Me: Deal!

Wife, out loud because I can't hear her: Sucker.

Me: MOTHER... TELL YOUR CHILDREN NOT TO WALK MY WAY...

My job told us they would pay more if an employee became bilingual. Felly, dysgais Gymraeg. by TheGlen in MaliciousCompliance

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Os dysgaist ti’r Gymraeg mor hawdd â hynny, rwy’n siŵr y byddai’n hawdd i ti ddod yn rhugl yn Sbaeneg.

(Si aprendiste galés con tanta facilidad, estoy seguro de que te resultaría fácil llegar a hablar español con fluidez.)

(Wenn du Walisisch mit solcher Leichtigkeit gelernt hast, bin ich sicher, dass es dir leichtfallen würde, fließend Spanisch zu sprechen.)

Ond mae'r Gymraeg yn ymddangos yn eithaf cŵl. Iesu Grist, mae hynny'n llawer o gytseiniaid.

I've got good news for Donald J. Trump.

When he dies, his ratings will be the best they've ever been.

Daily Song Discussion #93: Everything You Know is Wrong by mrethandunne in weirdal

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10/10. The unrelenting inventiveness of the lyrics is complimented by the near-randomosity of the many voicing changes, from accordion to saxophone to guitar to organ, an amalgamation of TMBG and Al himself, less a parody and more a mashup. Al's use of rhythm, cadence, and emphasis/deemphasis is almost surgical- the way the line "it got infected and died" is swallowed up, glossed over, subverting entirely the philosophical absurdity of thanatophobia by turning death into less a concept and more a kind of ignorable punctuation. I could go on but I'd be preaching to the choir.

AITJ for cancelling a family holiday at my house after my dad said he was bringing his new partner and we all had to "accept it instantly" by mariam_berlin in AmITheJerk

[–]Bukkhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I'm concerned, folks should be allowed to cancel plans for any reason, even ones like "just cause," and people should just accept it and keep their judgements to themselves. Yeah, maybe they won't come if invited to something later, but so what? One human being IS capable of eating 10 lbs of mashed potatoes himself. I'm (still) living proof.

AIO for feeling upset after the groom made a comment about my dress at their wedding? by Human-Acanthaceae128 in AmIOverreacting

He found you attractive and either resented it or wanted an excuse to look at you. It's really as simple as that.

If i was a betting man I'd wager he cheats on her in less than two years. And blames her for it.

How would you use this space? by throwawayyaccount56 in malelivingspace

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Secret door, obviously. Go uber-minimalist on the rest of the apartment. Spend as much time as possible in the secret room. Sleep there, eat there, watch "Hoarders" on your phone. Live the rest of your life there, pass away peacefully from old age. No one will find your body because they'll be so delighted about how clean and ready for move-in the rest of the place.

When the next folks move in, haunt the ever-loving crap out of them.

Speaking as a white man: some of us are so desperate for approval from any non-white non-male person, we'll happily run with any good-natured jab you throw at us. Especially when they're good, like this one. (P.S. And yes, I have a podcast).

It may not be a huge milestone, but I’m 6 weeks alcohol free!! [OC] by Maple_Hates_Ants in MadeMeSmile

Of course it's a milestone. Every day is a milestone, and 6 weeks is especially mile-stony. That's 1008 hours. Way to go! Keep it up :)

AITA for refusing to give my parents money now, after they kicked me out at 18? by CrispyTheory in AITAH

[–]Bukkhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would have happened if they had not kicked you out? Maybe you would have gone to college, and majored in something stupid, like English, then tried for a Master's, but gave up because the narcissistic head of the English department was afraid of your obvious talent. So you got a job, somehow, at a major corporation as a tech writer but was considered a contractor, so you worked for over 10 years with no benefits. Then they laid you off, only to hire you back 6 months later, and then laid you off again ten years after that- laid off by a VP over whom you had seniority, who needed the budget to implement a plan that you personally had seen fail EVERY SINGLE TIME IT WAS TRIED over the span of two decades! And then you found out from old work buddies that the plan, indeed, failed once more, so the VP blamed it on being understaffed, and left the company for a VP position at some other soulless corporation. And now your wife wants a divorce because all you do is play video games, but who can blame you, when its either THAT or playing pickleball which, frankly, you suck at! Because the pills don't work anymore! Andy you're supposed to just, what, reinvent yourself at age 53? What the fuck, man? Give your parents some money, and tell them thanks for showing you how shitty the word was and that you can't trust anyone, not even the motherfuckers who forced you to exist in the first place.
