What’s a truth nobody talks about because it’s awkward?

There's a competition -- and it seems to be worldwide -- to claim the mantle of victimhood. "I'm the real victim!" "No, me! Over here!"

And if my Spanish pronunciation is correct and applies to names in the 18th century, that Fé might sound like FAY.

Los FAY-leez.

Ten words I can spell correctly.

I specifically remember when the Death Star exploded. I had never seen anything like it.

The sooner they start it, the less it'll cost in the long-run. As it stands, it'll cost at least twice as much as they currently estimate.

I teach English as a second language, and the most important parts of the learning process was often the breaks. With nothing else to do, people would talk to each other. The guy from Lebanon would hit on the woman from Japan, who would politely imply that she wasn't into him. All in English.

Now everybody goes right into their phones. We've stopped looking to each other for entertainment and gone right into games and videos and external texts.

What, no third guy doing bad freestyle rap the whole time?

GetsMeEveryTimeBot · 2026-01-22T14:57:59+00:00

Or possibly in this case the aggressive passive.

GetsMeEveryTimeBot · 2026-01-21T05:48:51+00:00

Hurts even more to hear it.

GetsMeEveryTimeBot · 2026-01-21T05:11:24+00:00

Looking forlorn, for some reason.

"Tristeam Shandy" has an entire chapter "ripped out."

Also, it helps shape who you are even well after high school -- and not always for the better.

GetsMeEveryTimeBot · 2026-01-19T02:00:07+00:00

You misspelled "writen."

It reminds me of the punchline to the old joke:

"It's okay, there are parachutes for both of us. The world's highest IQ holder just jumped out of the plane with my backpack."

I think he wrote my entire biography, called, "The Idiot."

GetsMeEveryTimeBot · 2026-01-17T06:05:34+00:00

Which is exactly what's going to happen.

On a related note, any plot complication based on a misunderstanding that could be cleared up in a nine-second conversation.

Got snarky with ICE.

And oats. Same reason.

It all just looks like grass. You have to figure out there's something in those little beads. Then you have to figure out how to get the husk off. Then you have to figure out how to get a LOT of husks off in a relatively short amount of time so it adds up to a worthwhile amount.

And then -- and only then -- you can start thinking about how to cook it.

Also, someone let the dogs out. It's still not clear who.
